Realized many years ago that social media was making me more depressive so I simply stopped interacting with it. Tried dating apps as well and had numerous issues with their reliability and lack of honesty.
I’ve found a community of people online that I interact with and that has made me content with being single.
It would be nice to get back into the dating scene but I don’t believe there is a way that makes me feel comfortable.
Those who matter don’t mind, those who mind don’t matter
It’s never been an issue.
Do most people date by messaging random women on Facebook these days? Am I that out of touch?
Or is the implication that women have “posts pictures of their food online” as a requirement for considering dating someone? If so, who would want to date someone that shallow?
Maybe I’m just old, but I feel like I’m missing something here.
A point that came up in another discussion (elsewhere on Lemmy) is that it can be scarier for women to not find anything about a person that they’re meeting for the first time (ex. From a dating app). So if they had to pick between someone who has a presence and someone who has no information, the presence would help.
This doesn’t apply to people that you meet in person through work/school/activities or long term friendships
I love the irony of stalking people to make sure they’re not creepy.
stalking is only creep if a man does it.
I think having accounts I don’t use is better than having nothing.
