I disagree since I met the woman who is now my wife through Tinder lol. We both were looking for something casual and found something worth much more. But it's almost certainly gotten shittier like everything else, so I understand your reluctance to try it.

In that case, get yourself cleaned up and head out to a bar/club and see if you can meet somebody organically. Be ready to talk about your job, hobbies, and interests. Maybe get a few clever jokes locked and loaded. Passionate, nice, and funny will make you a magnet to decent people. Just temper your expectations because it sounds like you're probably gonna a swing and miss a few times until you find a comfortable batting stance.

Thank you for taking your time answering. Even though I can't imagine myself changing into all that just to get laid, I want to feel that pleasure, I really do, but I'm antisocial and mostly a NEET. So that isn't going to happen. Plus I live in the middle of fucking nowhere..

If the world was as prefect and beautiful as how the Louis Armstrong says, people like me would get a chance... But we know how much of a shit hole is, especially for people like me.
