And if people aren't *******, 'hiking,' they are meeting at some stupid bar, filling their stupid mouths with shitty food and drinks. And then, being a painfully single and lonely male, kinda says it all right there from the start. Not to mention my social status game is pretty (very, very) low; and my social game in general is pretty low.
But, if you play it right, and put in the effort, I'm sure it's a chance to, 'meet,' people. I guess one of the perks is the younger generation has probably lost their attention span for that site, so it's probably mostly 30's and up who still use it; but, of course, they all drink, and if they don't drink, they are probably just habituated to all the stuff people who believe they are addicts are habituated to.
fresia karaoke, fresia the bars, fresia the diners, fresia the **** hikes, fresia the self-improvement seminar on such and such topic, tired of it. Western culture is horse honeysuckle. If some one started a meetup where we learn archery and just take turns shooting arrows into the sky, that might be neat. Or maybe a traditional japanese tea ceremony, that'd be neat.
