Comment on Dating apps from 2018-2022 were wild. Might still be but I've been monogamous since late 2023.

  Plenty of fish / okcupid era - my housemate told me off when I brought home 14 different people in 14 consecutive nights just because I had my profile fully filled out.

  Should have been there during the late 90s and early 00s when binge drinking was the rage. No dating apps, no addiction to socials, just bars full of horny drunk people making bad choices the way nature intended. Some nights you gave the facial, some nights you received, some nights both. Most mornings you had no idea what the fuck you’d done but the lingering stank told you it was probably regrettable.

      I worked at a late night pizzeria that served the after hours crowd. If you think last call is desperate, holy shit.
