15 years ago, for millions of years, there were no dating apps. Then came dating apps to provide another way to meet potential partners. unfortunately many folks gave up on all other ways and just started relying on dating apps. and that's where I see most of the complains on blind for both men and woman. dating apps sucks for women cause it's almost impossible to filter out men just based on photos. any guy can just create a profile and swipe right to virtually anyone. no social anxiety to overcome, no need to be "good enough". for men, it's impossible to display value just by 5 filtered photos. hence, even if there are multiple matches, it does not usually correspond to evolutionary social order of conventional relationships. because apps are so easy and low effort that I see most of my friends rely on that. and because it's so easy, folks start to rely solely on apps. and that's why you're not able to find love. just git gud and uninstall those apps. it's not that it's impossible to find love on apps, but use it in addition to usual dating skills, don't rely solely on it. best way to learn those skills is to delete those apps for an year. for starters, women, drop that handkerchief while walking on street and be suprized when it's pickup up and brought up you. there you go, a conversation starter. men, just start talking to that woman behind you in that long line you're standing in at Starbucks. ask for recommendation.
I'd rather use apps than be accused of harassing someone in public. Woke culture is to blame, not apps
are you going to walk up to someone and ask "will you have sex? " that's harassment, don't do it. on the other extreme, if you hold a piece of paper and ask folks "are you interested in knowing about global warming?". that's not harassment and you won't be reported. now using these as ends of a scale, formulate your response.

Just go outside Oh wait, pandemic. Nvm
do you literally never leave your house? you can literally start a conversation in a grocery store. for example, "do you know which brand of <things they are looking at> is the best?"
During pandemic people don't want to talk to you even at a grocery store
You’re right, but you need to provide a credible alternative or array of alternatives.
I agree that many of us guys need to work on our dating skills. I get a lot of matches, but I don't have the interpersonal skills to keep those women attracted. How should I go about developing these?
Agree with most but I hope no one picks up that handkerchief man. That would be weird.
I'm over here imagining the time when dating wasn't a thing. ☺️
School & colleges are still the best place to find partners.
No more. We are moving to virtual classes.
I think I'm going to start going to bookstores to find my next date.
