It seems to me that I’m alone now partly because I would very much like to meet a woman in real life rather than through an app, but since single women here don’t actually get out and do a whole lot, it’s not likely to happen. I’ve tried a lot of different activities up here, and there’s that term, “sausage fest”. For online efforts, my being upfront about not wanting marriage or children but preferring a long term mutually appreciative relationship seems to turn them away. It’s like it’s still the 1950s here, but with alimony as a bonus. Regarding yesterday’s date, there were a couple serious differences between the online profile and real life, one of which being marital status, so that was a non-starter. So yeah, good times.
