tbh irl dating these days is as bleak as online dating. 99% of events and classes in a 50 mile radius that aren't tabletop gaming or crypto lectures are populated entirely by women who also tried to find a partner irl. Men are quite vocal lately about preferring to stay at home with a beer and a video game instead of going out. Either because they have no friends, feel awkward about approaching women, or have a mighty fear of rejection -- see how many are desperate to persuade women to make the first move and woo and pursue them so they don't have to lift a finger anymore. Couple that with too many terminally online phone addicts suckered into rage bait that all women are unfaithful gold diggers and we have an inceedibly unmotivated generation.
Not meant to doompill or anything. Obviously people are still coupling up one way or another. And I still recommend meeting irl simply because they can't catfish or fake chemistry in real life. But I love going out to events and taking classes and it's striking how rarely I see young, single men out and about in general. The bar and club scenes are probably still raging, but I need a sheet mask on and in my pajamas by 11pm.
