I think I was born in the wrong era. I would’ve loved all this online/virtual dating. I got married 25 years ago. I consider myself to be fairly attractive but was a bit shy in my 20s. But, my god dating was hard. I hated the bar scene. I hated trying to pick up women. I hated making small talk with a complete stranger. I met my with through a hobby of mine by pure chance. And I was lucky it was a good match.

When I think back to all the dates and dead ends I had with women. If I could’ve had an app pre-sort matches sounds so much better than random women at a bar. Plus the low stress of messaging someone before an awkward first date takes the edge off. All I ever wanted in the 12 or so years I was dating was a serious long term relationship. Some people like the hunt. I just wanted it over.
