Well I did it, I listened to “helpful” dating advice…

It was the dumbest decision i have made in awhile. For context, a few weeks ago I had finally deleted all of my dating apps as I was getting no results on any of them and it was causing me to feel absolutely worthless. I figured I should try to find more organic ways of meeting women irl so I asked for advice in another sub as to how to do that. All I got were comments saying “it was dumb of me to delete them”, “get back on the apps”, “you’re limiting your chances”, and other stupid shit. How the FUCK am I limiting nothing?? Zero multiplied by zero is still fucking zero!

I literally never get viable options online anymore, dating apps fucking suck, no attractive woman on there is serious or even need to use the apps to get dates anyway. Most people treat it like a game so I don’t get why I got so many people telling me I made the wrong choice finally cutting the bullshit. I really hate that I let endless stupid comments gaslight me into signing up for more torture again. Surely there has to be a better way to meet women other than just sitting in the void swiping until I run out of swipes and/or messaging “matches” who could give a shit about ever responding right? It feels like sending resumes on indeed, just sending away my info for no response at all or an eventual unmatch for no reason.

It’s starting to get warm finally and I don’t wanna be stuck by myself for the rest of the year, is there any options for me to meet someone? I am in the process of getting rid of the apps again, I have saved half the money I need for a car and once I have that getting my own place is next. I know I have a few things that hold me back but I am doing the work to improve things steadily in my life. I do work alot and I don’t have kids yet but I would like to find someone who’s also looking for a relationship who also doesn’t have kids and has the same interest in building a future together but why is it so hard to find that?
