Delete the apps and talk to a real human my bro, you're broken.
(Different guy, and never been on the apps and refuse to start, but)
Where?
"Meet them at the Grocery store"
Alright Gramps it's not 1964 anymore.
"Go to the gym"
Meanwhile women complain about being asked out at the gym, there was a thread on lemmy alone about it like last week.
"Get a hobby"
Women: "I just want to do a hobby without being asked out all the time!"
(Meanwhile my hobby: Nature photography with a lil bit of weed smokin', nobody wants to meet me in the woods except for other stoner men, women would literally rather I be a bear.)
"Go to the bar"
Alright Richie Rich. I don't drink that often and when I do I'm not paying $15 a drink for the same whiskey out of a $35 bottle. Granted this is the one place still acceptible, guess I have to delve into full blown alcoholism and go to the bar nightly on the off chance I find true love, hooray.
All the little islands that people drive to in their cars are off limits for interaction further than absolute surface level these days, at least in the US, apparently it's less bad elsewhere from what I'm told.
