Is everything online now? I gave up on social networks a couple of years ago. My friends keep trying to get me to sign up for some facebook-like fetish social network but I didn't want to list myself on something like that. Honestly, I'm not really interested in being tied up and having dildos rammed up my ass (most of the local women seem to be into that stuff from a quick glance).
Since COVID every place I used to go to meet new people has closed shop or gone out of business. The only social functions I know of are attended by people either double or half my age. It's like I'm living in a black hole where all the women are too young, too old, or my age and already taking care of multiple kids. I got to thinking about my last few girlfriends today and realized I met every single one of them through my work place or temp. jobs. I have a rule now that I don't mess with girls from work so the pool of women in my life has dried up to nothing. Half my friends are single and having the same problems I am. The other half are married or have long term girlfriends. I don't see them very often anymore and when I do they're so busy with their own lives they don't have time to hang out for very long.
Where should I look if I'm interested in meeting women that are open to the idea of kids, marriage, and the white picket fence? Where are these so-called "normal people" hiding? I'm even having problems making friends on video games these days. It used to be I could go to random websites, or play games on random servers, and people there would actually chat and eventually become a friend. Now when I try to play video games I never hear anyone in voice chat. Everyone is in a private channel with their group of friends. No one wants to speak to the randoms and if you do get invited to their group chat you can't get a word in edge wise.
It's frustrating. The rare times I do meet new people I never hear from them again because I don't use social networking. If you tell someone you aren't on facebook they look at you funny and think you're lying to them.
We live in weird times my friend, COVID SUCKS!
Im also off 99% of all social-media. Pretty close to completely unplugging but then I wouldn't have online-music and informative sites like bluelight, etc, wouldn't be able to pay-bills and such. But Im fantasizing about making a schedule for internet and cell-phone use like only have the phone on for like 4 hours and the router plugged in for 4 hours a day.
Minimize radiation and screen addiction, live in reality!
Get my hands dirty with some funny DIY projects, write, read, poetry, draw?
Anyway good time to realize that it's not going to be the most fantastic and socially amazing year, and work on self-love, self-improvment, health, home improvement, etc. So that when this pandemic passes you will have the coolest pad, a "rockin' bod" and all these cool projects you've accomplished that you can feel proud about, that will improve your self-esteem and natural attraction!
Maybe pick up an instrument or learn some other creative craft?
No point running around out-side trying to have fun and being social in these dysphoric/dystopic Corona times,
it's like setting yourself up for failure and shitty experiences.
( Or maybe Im negative but thats how I feel!)
And when the bloody pandemic is over I will try to (if possible) meet real people, who are not always glancing on their phone... I think there is a growing nr of people like us, who want to live in reality more.
But where are we supposed to connect? Through some app?
I hope there will be some type of movement with people who are sick of it, and hopefully there will be bars and cafes that will cater to people who need a break from smartphone addiction?
Maybe something like "Narcotics Anonymous (NA)" but for smartphones/social-media?! That would be fun!!!
