What's on Your Mind

[Chase]

I'm sorry to hear that happened.  People can be so rude.

Yeah I'm finding that most people are terrible. I don't know if it is just this region or what or I'm just drawn to a certain type of guy that does this shit?

Anyway, hopefully the coffee will work its magic.

If it makes you feel any better, I haven't had much luck dating the past couple of years either. My last ex really put me in a "been there, done that" attitude. I tried giving up online dating and started going to gay bars and clubs - and then the pandemic happened. I really think there's just something fundamentally wrong with online dating, and I'm not just talking about hookup apps like grindr, I mean the so-called serious ones like Match and OkCupid as well. People treat looking for partners like candy shopping, not putting much thought into you because they see an ocean of pictures to chose from, but then nobody gets anybody because everyone else is thinking they can have a whole sea of possible matches, when in reality, only a small fraction will be compatible with them in return.

At any rate, I think there's nothing we can do but wait out this storm. 2019 was still a crappy time for gay dating, so 2020 dating is all that crappiness multiplied by a million.
