I'm in IT who generally is tech oriented. I've never even thought of touching dating apps. The idea itself of meeting digitally first, when there are so many women around in real life, is somewhat absurd to me. I feel like the apps might be used mostly by the ones who fail to make contact in real life, which already makes you questionable

I met my now wife through myspace back when i was 19.

I went out and always managed to find some cute girl no matter where i went, but they all lacked depth and interests. Even then, i can't even imagine what women are like now....they probably look like a phone brand logo 24/7.

We started talking because of a friend of hers, that lasted about a year until i was finally able to meet her for the first time...turns out she wasn't acting about who she was and had been genuine all the time.

Easiest decision i ever made.
