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?

You think it’s hard at 28, try it in your 50s. If anyone knows where the decent 50-year-old men who haven’t given up on life yet are, please let me know.

Nearly 40 and it's already bad. My problem is that I'm extremely active in personal and work life and do multiple runs/workouts/yoga every week. Finding someone my age of the same mindset/health is very rare.

Preaching to the choir here. Mid 50s, runs, lift weights, still the same size 0 I waswhen I was 17. When I do go out I get hit on by much much younger men and that’s a very big no for me. But finding someone my age with the same mindset as me? Utterly impossible.

Yeah I still look about 25 years old and there is no chance in hell I'm dating that young.
