I never understood why women sign up to dating apps if they have no intention of meeting any men.
Do they seriously have nothing better to do with their free time?
Attention
and maybe in the back of their mind, there is a possibility of meeting "Prince Charming" you have to remember every woman has at least a friend or a friend of friend who met her husband or boyfriend online. OLD is not going anywhere and especially has become more popular because of the pandemic. However, I will say women's standards are unrealistic in OLD in person the same woman who rejected you online would give you a shot. I've had it happen to me and I even had it happen to a buddy of mine.
For example:
My buddy got ghosted/flaked on by a chick he met online. He was at the bar the girl recognized him and wanted to talk (Cause she found him attractive) but my buddy basically told her "You had your chance"
