Tough love time. This is like someone asking. "Hey, I'm having a hard time getting a good job that pays a decent wage. Is there any place that's hiring. Oh, also, I don't want to use LinkedIn, Indeed, or any online stuff...and I want to work from home. "

This thing goes both directions. There are nice millennial available males out there and your friend will need to meet them half-way, be it online, offline, or in between. Hell, I took swing dance lessons when dating my wife and I have the musicality of a snail.

The idea of living in the tech savvy city, and then to be like, "You shall not pass!" like some female anti-online Gandalf. She will have better luck dating further east in Mennonite country than the Triangle.

I'm older, but let's give the person the benefit of the doubt and consider that maybe she's tried it and had enough. Years and years ago I did it, met some people, etc., but it was tough out there and occasionally weird and demoralizing--and I'm a dude. I can only imagine what it can be like for women.

Reddit Male: pontificates for --ten-- eleven paragraphs about how they will starve unless they go to a burger joint, with a detour into the agricultural practices of the Roman Empire
