People 30+, what's something that happened back your day?

I remember dial-up internet, where the phone and internet were on the same line, and if someone in your house wanted to use the phone you had to stop using the internet for a bit 馃榿.

There we no dating sites or apps, so you actually had to go out and meet people.
@latinbutterfly I can somewhat understand why women might be sort of disillusioned with what's become of dating since that Era in the sense that things are a bit more fraught, it's easier to ditch somebody and on top of that particular problem people are often glued to their phones when they meet in person which-- Personally on a date I wouldn't even have the thing on.

But For me being Autistic I love the internet for dating because when I was Young pretty much none of my class mates would even give me the time of day.

And honestly your "You had to go out and meet people" well that's -

let me put it like this. I have Niche Interest and I'm going to pretty much want my partner to at least be TOLERANT to it if not UNDERSTAND it through RELATING to it herself.

I'm a Political Junkie for instance and am rarely far away from the news of what's going current events wise and I guess what I wanted to get at about the internet is these days people share how they feel about everything on Social media and it takes the guess work out of things and thus the need for cold approaches and I honestly prefer Harmony in my political views with my mate so Conservatives stay away.


I'm also really into Anime and such and what the internet has done for our community is incredible especially in terms of dating-you pretty much don't have to be alone just because you're an Otaku anymore.

What I'm getting at though is I know precisely what the Girls I'm into on here are reading what they're into and such and it makes it a lot easier to approach on the basis of shared interest and finding common ground a lot easier.

Yes there are downsides to internet dating but I think the good outweighs the bad.
