Has anyone gone to these singles only events / new friend dinners that I am being bombarded with on socials?
Chronically single, gay, 32 years old, disillusioned with the apps and definitely a statistic at this point.
I keep getting a lot of ads on Instagram for things like dinners with random people (gay men specifically because my phone knows me), who the app pairs you with based on a set of questions, or singles only mixers events (which allegedly 95% of people go to alone) at bars / pubs, etc.
Clearly my phone is listening to me. I simply cannot be bothered to date using the apps anymore and I feel as though I am slowly being worn down by these ads but staying strong for the time being. Has anyone actually been to these and had any success / good experiences (or bad ones)?
