To give up online dating and focus on real world

Soniastrumpet1984 · 26/12/2024 08:23

It's boxing day, I feel low, I want to meet someone this year but I'm really sick of online dating. Men on there are so poorly behaved. Have any of you ladies abandoned it and concentrated on real life instead? If you did, how did it go? I'm fairly confident but haven't dated in the wild for many years. How do I do it? Any tips?

Because you may have had a bad online dating experience don't give up. I started online dating during Covid and it is something that has brought me much satisfaction up to this very day. Perhaps, you simply didn't use a proper app/site. I would recommend you try shagslam.com or flirthouse.online before you decide to quit. Those two sites should help you to find better prospects online.

I gave up on online dating because of the behaviour of men. But then don’t put much any effort into real life dating. I think my issue is I hate dating with a passion and always have.

But meeting somebody without dating is pretty difficult. Sorry that does not help.

Maybe try online again but with very firm boundaries and a clear idea of the kind of person you are looking for?

They’re all trash. Men are trash. They talk about women like we’re pieces of meat. Most men who are married/taken would cheat on their wives/partners if they were given the chance and the women are just too blind to see it. Go through their phones, you will see it. They aren’t capable of love the way that women are. They are only in relationships if they gain some sort of benefit from it. The genuine emotions, love, feelings etc are non existent in the male gender. Give up and focus on making the best life for yourself
