All the ok women use FB dating and I won't put the FB app on my phone. All the other dating apps are awful! Can't meet nice girls on tinder. Other dating apps in the USA are filled with 50% the ugliest girls you've ever seen and the other 50% of accounts are trannies. I downloaded one called Badoo a couple months ago and saw all these men wearing makeup pretending to be women. 😳
Discussion
I would try an IRL class/club/volunteer org. Maybe something you'll be bad at. A willingness to be genuine and vulnerable (like your orginal post) can be an attractive trait. Cooking, book club, whatever, just put yourself out there and be your true self. You'll meet people or they'll know other people and they'll set you up. Worst case: you learn something or make new friends, best case you find someone to navigate the crazy road ahead with.
