Is IRL really better?

1. The answer is both

2. I grew up dating in person. My generation wasn’t complaining about how they can’t get a mate like I see these younger generations doing. I think online has absolutely ruined dating. I’m so glad I learned the skills to be able to actually talk to a person face to face.

3. Online dating is horrible

4. Online dating is fucking awful for men. Standing out is just impossible when every girl has 100s of matches

5. Cold approach is cringe is actually a reflection of attitude based on certain social environmental factors that you have now internalized.

   To reconfigure your brain to learn to talk to people again, try using different terminology that isn’t loaded with the sentiments of being ‘cold, uninviting, difficult, tedious’.

   Such as: saying hi to strangers, complimenting people for their taste in clothes and/ or snacks, asking locals for advice on how to enjoy yourself, the list is endless. Cold approach is a made up word.

6. Well I personally think the in person dating takes guts.
   Putting everything on the line, embarrassment, pride and showing another person that you have some sort of feelings towards them. Rather than 100 swipes per day and ghosting if the other person doesn’t check all 500 points on your perfect-partner list..
   If I needed to start dating again I don’t think I’d go for the online version.
   But I’m an elder millennial so I guess that’s the reason..

7. For me it was, I feel more at ease in person when I’m at events since I can read body language in person. OLD was ok, but I didn’t care for it as much since I didn’t feel connected to guys who asked for dates right away. I understood the quicker the better to find out if you like it each other, but I was looking for more than that and IRL I kept getting more the results I was looking for.
