    You know… It’s seeing this type of stuff I’m so happy I found my wife the old fashioned way before dating apps existed.

          Same. Dating apps are hell and I’m way too introverted to go out and meet people. Been trying to put myself out there, got a job (everyone is either too young, couple are too old, and they’re already in a relationship anyway), I go to work events (last time a massive party where most people were from outside the company), but nah, still too scared to approach anyone and I guess I look unapproachable myself. Also the country I live in isn’t exactly the type where people would just chat to randos. So yeah… more cats it is, I guess…

      I found my spouse through a dating app, but we matched up really well since neither of us like this kind of shitty small talk.

      If I were that lady I’d boot the hell outta that dude, such a prick.

      It can work. I used a dating website (pre smartphone) and I just put in a photo of myself sitting at my computer and a list of bands and movies I liked. My wife approved and asked me out on a date.
