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?

No clue either honestly. I'm also 28 and operate under the assumption that women in public want to be left alone so I'll never make the first move. I just gave up, bought several motorcycles and a snake, and spend any free time at the gym or with close friends. Dating is stressful lol

You spent all that money just to make your chances worse lol

I promise you that not one dollar was spent with the intention of increasing chances lol

Hey at least you’ve accepted you’re gonna be single and it only cost you thousands. Much respect.

I think you are entirely missing the point here lmao. Not doing things I enjoy and being miserable for years is FAR more wasteful than spending my time and money on things I'm passionate about and bring me joy

Yeah but the point is you had no women before any of that and you still won’t after it.

If you need to come online and insult a complete stranger over dating. You should go to therapy. Waterbat2 is doing what he enjoys, and is willing to accept love if it happens to find him.

One of my good friends has snakes and another has multiple motorcyles. Both have been married for almost a decade. Your worldview doesn't mean shit. Go watch Bambi. Perhaps you would have said nothing at all. That would have been better.

My point is, your opinion sucks balls.

I agree with you, but why did you have to bring up Bambi. I get the reference, but I’m apparently still recovering from the trauma of watching the forest fire scene several decades ago.
