College is perhaps the easiest time of your life to meet people irl and find a date or two or twenty. No surprise whatsoever that the apps are more regularly used by people who aren’t in a 24/7 social mixer event with thousands of people their same age, education level, and (generally) class.
Yeah no doubt. Not saying there’s no reason to be on the apps in college. I’m just saying there’s less and less opportunity for meeting people in person by chance at social events the older you get, and the more your social life includes people from work, married folks, parents, etc.
College is the densest pool of single people with lots of free time you’ll ever experience bar none.
Then you look for the other person at the party standing there back to the wall looking like a deer in headlights and make friends or at least form a D&D group.
Ive told my daughter “Always be nice to the quiet ones and the weird ones. Be nice and be friendly, the extroverts of the world will be fine on their own.”
I mean, if I played PC games (more specifically multiplayer), I could definitely see myself attending LAN party. That’s the only party that actually sounds interesting.

Unless you’re socially awkward and bad at picking up hints.

I mean, that sucks, but it’s not like things are going to get better once you’re outside of the conditions mentioned

Yeah, it really is super difficult to put yourself out there if it’s not something you do regularly.

Parties?
You actually don’t get what socially awkward means, do you?

You’re a great parent 👍
I am, but I could still go be weird at some parties.
I guess that being laughed at and ridiculed at parties must be very enjoyable in your corner of the world, then.
Uni wasn’t really like that, luckily.

Y’all are going to parties?
The only college parties I’ve been to were those with just my friends and ive learned my lesson about dating friends…
And also less likely to be married or in a long term relationship, have a baby momma/daddy or be a hopeless deadbeat who cant keep a job… yet.
It isnt fish in a barrel, its a barrel full of fish.
Yeah, absolutely.
