Just drive around and ask random women if they're interested in a stranger in a truck. Can't lose.
But honestly if I were single it would take me a hot minute to find someone new, but I don't think I'd want it. Men are a LOT.
A lot of humble awesomeness, in my case. Obviously.
I guess the truck method is like swiping on EVERYONE in a dating app. It only has to work once to be a good method!
I've never online dated before. I'm too old for that shit. I can't imagine how crazy it would be. Are there any older people on those apps?
No idea, I've never tried one. I've been married since before smartphones. There's a lot of variety in dating apps I hear about. If there's one just for farmers and one for Christian nationalists, there's gotta be one for adults.
Definitely, but it's mostly twenty to thirty somethings, some forties. My wife and I are nearly in our fifties and occasionally make a fake account to whatever service is big that year/decade to see what we've been missing. We don't feel like we're missing much.
A buddy of ours of similar age is a widower and, after many years, has decided to try dating again. He's meeting women but has variable results. I can't say he's having better or worse dates than when meeting people in person, but he's having a lot more of all the dates, so it's like they're more concentrated.
