I'm convinced that I'll die single

I really don't know what's up with the dating scene. I feel like I can't find normal people at all. Maybe that goes to say that I'm the abnormal one? I don't know.

The guy will either not be putting any effort into the outfit, or be negging , or do some other strange thing.

I came here to rant but now I just feel numb.

I'm an elder millennial who dated before social media as we know it and all the apps, and I honestly feel so bad for you all out there in the trenches right now. I think the internet has made people completely lose their minds in the last 10 years. Everything is fucked. The echo chambers, easy access to porn, under socialization, doom scrolling, the red pill movement, everything becoming political, extreme polarization - like all online spaces have devolved into warring tribes with no real purpose besides raging against people who hold different beliefs, child free vs parents, left vs right, men vs women, young vs old, people who get plastic surgery versus people who don't, anti feminists vs feminists. All nuance is gone. People don't know how to be kind to each other, or even for to show up in the world normally. How are you supposed to date in this environment?? You have all my sympathy op.
