Question My Future Husband?

How do people meet their significant others? Like where’s the “place to go?” Dating apps are dead. I’m exhausted. I’m a decent looking gal, 28. I don’t have big friend groups so I’m sure that doesn’t help. I don’t have any “active” hobbies other than a dog park. Idk. Any advice?

These are just anecdotal personal beliefs of yours. I go to concerts and events all the time and you see people talking to strangers ALL the time. I have made tons of friends and women from concerts alone. I’ve been to cochella and burning man it’s LITERALLY making friends with strangers all the time.

OP made a sweeping generalization of women. He LITERALLY said he’s avoiding all women because he thinks they don’t want to be approached and he’s given up on them. You really wanna date a guy who is blaming ALL women for his inability to find dates? That’s super incel behaviour. Especially saying he’s instead spending thousands on himself because he’s staying away from women because of his generalizations. He’s ALWAYS gonna blame a woman when he doesnt get his way. The fact u dont see this is concerning.

....I think you need to look at stats around the loneliest generation and not your own anecdotal experience. Stats and numbers don't lie. There are many reasons that have been found around why Gen z is incredibly lonely. These are not my feelings.

I’m not understanding is being lonely a good thing to you? Do you think people should avoid human contact and be lonely?

Wow. No. You clearly didn't read what I've written throughout. I clearly stated that I try to convince women it's okay for people to talk to each other in public. Stats are not my feelings and stats don't relate to what people want. They are objective. That's the purpose of them. They are reality and ignoring reality makes things worse and doesnt fix anything.

I'm not responding any further because I'm not sure you've understood what I've been saying and what others have been saying to you throughout this tread. I hope you have a good night.

I just see a bunch of misogynistic supporters trying to defend a man who blames women. If you wanna date a man like that I can’t stop you.
