Let me start by saying I’ve been trying stuff out for a long time, saw countless dating advice posts and it’s just a cycle of the same advice on repeat, online dating is a joke and I have to regularly take a step back from it because it makes me extremely bitter

The baseline of my issue is that I have no idea where a person I would like would even hang out, not to mention having an appropriate context to approach

My work and hobbies are all male dominated, the only other thing is dancing but honestly it’s not a good place to meet women either, contrary to popular belief

I know what I look for in a person and I could be listing what’s important for a while but the most important thing really is just being on the same wavelength, be it having a similar sense of humor or the same values. I’ve never met anyone like it and I feel so disconnected from most women

I’ve bonded with most of my friends over games or music and it’s so discouraging that I can never find that common thread with women and most online conversations just come down to memes

I’m posting this as a vent because I just can’t stand the loneliness anymore and I know I might be stuck with it for a long time especially during the pandemic
