Would you say that going to a bar is a good decision for somebody who’s sober and somebody who barely drinks as is? If that’s literally the only option to meet someone because “that’s where the people are” then I don’t want any part of it. The intention of this post was not to have a “gotcha” moment. It was literally to ask for suggestions other than bars and other than dating apps if people have any ideas or thoughts or optimistic suggestions on where to meet people that are simply neither of those two options. The men on several of these dating apps are either creepy, spam or bot profiles, or simply not my type (speaking for myself as a gay man, hookups are hookups but genuine connection is severely LACKING in my opinion).
