  I gave up on online dating before Tinder was a thing. The dating sites I did try had those as fields.

  Also…I hate religion, and that is very important to who I am as a person, and hatred of religion is an important trait I look for in a mate, so.

    So you gave up online dating a decade ago? The Internet has come a long way since then.

    I don’t know what you’re looking for, but I would urge you to give it another try if you’re not finding what you want. It’s not magic, but it will simply put you in front of a lot more people than you would otherwise see. If your perfect match is a 1 in 1000 you’ve got way better odds running into them online than via random chance IRL.

      1. Yes, the internet has come a long way since then. In 2013 the internet was cold and unfeeling, in 2023 the internet is openly hostile and evil.
      2. I’m not looking for anything. Not anymore. And finding plenty of it.
      3. My perfect match isn’t on Tinder; she’s married and working for some logistics firm in Texas last I heard. We were together for two short years and it’s my fault I lost her.
      4. I’ve dated since then and discovered just what caliber of person is on the 21st century market. In related news: I don’t often leave the house anymore. By deliberate choice. 5, To recommend online dating in this thread of all places you must have the reading comprehension of a tube worm.

        Cool man. Enjoy your lonely, bitter life I guess. I will continue enjoying mine with the partner I found online.
