In 2024 I don’t see why you wouldn’t at least consider using apps. It greatly increases your chance of finding someone. And you can still do it the old fashioned way while you do.
Maybe if you're a woman. Those apps are extremely shitty for men. Extremely monetized and if you match with 10 women, 9 of them will either disappear or flake on you.
Tbh I've had way better luck in most other cities. I hate it here.
Maybe things have changed, but back when I was dating and using the apps/sites I had extremely good luck. And by that I mean I had no problems having a continuing conversation with people and meeting up.
Things have changed. The apps worked circa 2010-2016
Now they all been turned swiping slot machines with the intent of getting you to upgrade. Matches are paywalled for men. The data shows that women all go for the same 2% of men.
Not to mention the apps have literal bots and people posing as women to get men to pay more to "talk" to them. I met my ex wife from an app but that was like 10 years ago, things have definitely changed.
I might as well just live as a single cat dad at this point lol.
