I just wish there was a alternative for us introverts. Being a younger millennial(zillenial??? Idek), it's rough finding people. Esp being audhd and moving right before the pandemic and just not being able to predict people and catch their interest sigh
I've had good success on Hinge and also joining local discords that share my special interests. I however have no idea how long until the enshittification of Hinge so your experience may be different.
My experience on hinge and most dating apps is weird bc of where I live. 20mins either way to the next major city and I think it's a turn off that I'm a bit chub and still live with my mom which I can't do anything about bc genetics and trouble maintaining jobs ๐
During the subprime mortgage crisis of 2008 a lot of millennials and gen-x went back to the parental homestead, heck, my stepdaughter spent a couple of years with us a few years ago.
It's inconvenient when trying to date because your home is full of family which means you have to keep sexy times discrete (that went for us fogeys, too) but anyone who is going to decide that's a character flaw is probably not worth dating.
That's probably true....just wish it wasn't so hard dating in the south. I had to make it harder being like 75% gay on top of the AuDHD since I'm always fearful of the rejection whether it's dating or anything else at this point oop....
Feeld then
Never heard of that one but I'll look into it. Most of the issue is that I'm basically gay and gotta move it seems. I've got so many doubts since I've had so much rejection on these apps XD
