Comment on Dating apps lose their luster with college students

  Yeah no doubt. Not saying there’s no reason to be on the apps in college. I’m just saying there’s less and less opportunity for meeting people in person by chance at social events the older you get, and the more your social life includes people from work, married folks, parents, etc.

  College is the densest pool of single people with lots of free time you’ll ever experience bar none.

  I mean, that sucks, but it’s not like things are going to get better once you’re outside of the conditions mentioned

  Then you look for the other person at the party standing there back to the wall looking like a deer in headlights and make friends or at least form a D&D group.

    Parties?

    You actually don’t get what socially awkward means, do you?

      Ive told my daughter “Always be nice to the quiet ones and the weird ones. Be nice and be friendly, the extroverts of the world will be fine on their own.”

      I am, but I could still go be weird at some parties.

        I guess that being laughed at and ridiculed at parties must be very enjoyable in your corner of the world, then.

      I mean, if I played PC games (more specifically multiplayer), I could definitely see myself attending LAN party. That’s the only party that actually sounds interesting.

    Yeah, it really is super difficult to put yourself out there if it’s not something you do regularly.
