Meeting people in hobby/interest groups probably, which isnt something i did but im bad at having hobbies(i am in some nature groups though now). i havent used a dating app or site since 2019. Hinge didnt even exist then. Ive been with my current partner since 2019, we met on Tinder. It can work, but as a man youre trying to get noticed, and women are getting matches all the damn time so it’s out of balance depending on your gender. i dont think the apps should be ignored completely, but when you get the premium subscription it does increase the amount of people you get to talk to(esp as a man trying to meet women). The pay to play thing sucks for sure, but it did work for me.
As far as finding someone from online, I’ve had much better luck meeting people in say, special interests groups or games like mmos that have a lot of down time for people to talk than I ever had with dating sites.
What advice would you have as alternatives to online dating?

Do you have hobbies that involve going outside and interacting with other people.
die alone or get covid is a cool choice
Not novel people
