take years to find a date.. this is not after college[/quote]

Why assume the OP isn't college educated?
YEARS?  Come on.  The reason I am not on apps is because I met people paying Tinder for two years with no girlfriend, like the algorithm is designed to carrot dangle to extract the most money.  Appless, my ex said "you tend to date other people within 5 minutes" but I'd give OP a far more realistic week in case she's on her period and doesn't feel like hiking.  Among older boomer-types, I have only heard of heavyset folks (bars not hiking) on apps.

In 2019, 60% of LTRs were formed offline.
The only OLD marriages I know are from Match with one Tinder.  The Tinder is a racist, rude, unattractive guy and they started with a 1-night-stand.  She is pretty cute and is fully able-bodied, but is a stay-at-home childless wife/non-mom.  They spend a lot of time apart and the guy is kinda creepy towards other women.  I know many people on apps looking for an ego boost with ridiculous standards because of the endless options.  I think OP may like IRL or Match and will get a quality date WAY faster IRL.  Some women don't care the slightest about salary or race, and are far more concerned with treatment of others, values, faithfulness, respect (eg honesty vs ghosting) etc which aren't options/encouraged by apps.[/quote]

You have a reading comprehension problem..."this is not after college" means I assume she went to college and she is not in her right-after-college years where most people are still single and it is easier to meet people at random events. As years go by, it starts getting harder to meet people in person at random to date as many people are taken or busy with careers.

I don't care about your stats from 2019...that could be limited to a certain age group. It would make sense that many LTRs in 20s and early 30s were formed offline but not necessarily for older than that. The data does not apply. [/quote]
