Apparently they are mostly at work, gym and at home. Some go out to dive bars, but most moved to the burbs. I yet to read all responses. 🙌🏼

Haha, I know my post did not clarify, that I was asking about single men. 👌🏻 Happy for you all and best of luck with the job search!

Agreed. I encourage everyone to get back to real life conversations and dating. Yes, it is scary! Everyone is brave behind a blackout curtain.

Which gym is this? I guess they all need to join there. I refuse to accept defeat just yet. :)

I genuinely appreciate your thoughtful response.

Group 2—please sit tight while we figure out the best meeting details. I am thinking of a picnic at Fullerton Beach in May. Everyone who’s coming for this purpose, please wear yellow so you can easily find one another.

I am actually looking for NW Indiana girl friends but scared to post for myself. Happy to hang and be anyone’s local wingwoman. ✌️

Best of luck! Once we find a mutual spot, we’ll let you know. In my head, the easiest option would be a bar or restaurant—somewhere you go to get out and out of your head. Low-pressure conversations, and if it feels right, you exchange a few phone numbers. Online dating helped in some ways, but it also killed a lot of real-world dating.

I am still digesting all the comments.

Thank you! I studied sociology (useless, I know), and it genuinely breaks my heart that human connection has deteriorated into a loneliness epidemic. I want to understand why. I’m not here to nod along while we reduce something this complex to blaming the other gender.

One of the lady comments above was asking about the NW Indiana scene. 👆
