Honestly feels kinda freeing tbch. After months of struggling across the big 3 dating apps, I decided to finally post a profile review today and honestly all the shitty albeit true feedback was kinda just what I need to make the final choice to just get off all the apps all together. I’ll meet my person in real life when it’s meant to happen, or maybe I won’t fuck if I know fuck if I care. still gotta clock in, rents still due this month. Happy 4th yall stay safe

Been living and working in the Boston area for quite a while now and as a sober person who doesn’t do well in bar environments, it’s been next to impossible to
Make friends are find things to go do that aren’t incredibly niche and already have an established following . Considered speed dating with the hopes of atleast making some cool friends but it’s hard out here man. Rant over

Just venting. Any advice is welcomed but not needed or asked for. Keeping this short cause we all have our own probs I’m not special just have no one to vent to. Decent/average looking guy (I thought, not so much anymore) covered in nice tattoos nice mustache etc. BUT I am 5’5 and there’s no way around that. I hide my height on apps but I think women make assumptions if you’re not forward about the height lol. between 4 dating apps combined I’ve had single digit matches in 6 months and only like 2 became first dates that didn’t lead anywhere (even though they lasted like 5 hours each and we laughed the whole time and both ended with a kiss and plan for second date before a text later in the week) and one came a hookup I fucked a few times.I’m 7 years sober so I don’t do the bar scene or anything like that and I work 6 sometimes all 7 days a week and really don’t have time to just go out and about even if dating does exist beyond alcohol being involved. I live in Boston as well so it’s not like I need toe downs my radius or diversity. There women from all walks of life here and I’m just very clearly not anyone’s type. And no one seems to understand that striking up a random conversation to try and connect is ONLY deemed not creepy if you look like you belong in a magazine.
