      “The greater the passive income you can build, the FREER you will become.” I feel fortunate to have made productive decisions that have had a lasting impact on my life. Through my finance coach, I've accumulated over a million and recently purchased my first house in January. I've also managed to pay off my mortgage and student loans, and now I'm focused on working towards my retirement by next year.

    2. How did my body feel during the date?
    3. Do I feel more energized or de-energized than before the date?
    4. Is there something about them I’m curious about?
    5. Did they make me laugh?
    6. Did I feel heard?
    7. Did I feel attractive in their presence?
    8. Did I feel captivated, bored, or something in between?

    The thing about dating is app that they make money based on user retention. The longer single you are the more money they make. There will be matches and dates but it won’t meet the effort you put. I think joining social clubs and activities are much better to have dates.

    • @bonkadoom
      @bonkadoom 3 місяці тому

      some people don’t have much of those in their area tho or they don’t really have the time to actively participate. tbh dating apps are cashing on people who are busy and don’t have the time to go out, meet and connect with people regularly enough to build a relationship with someone organically. or lonely people who have no friends and don’t get introduced to new faces often. kinda sad but nowadays this is the reality for many of us

    I've been meeting people from the Internet since 2001-- sometimes for dating, other times just to meet up with friends. I've always been open to meeting outside of my geographical area, way way outside of it. I currently live in North Dakota where the dating pool is just a tiny puddle, and it's difficult to make friends here, too. Meeting friends or dating from the Internet has given me opportunities to learn about new cultures, travel hundreds if not thousands of miles away to meet up with friends, show friends around when they have traveled here, and opened up entirely new worlds for me.

    Security concern should be for everyone. I've had multiple female stalkers in the past despite telling them I'm gay and I've had unwanted touching/flirting at work from men. I'm sure victimization of men is underreported, I've never gotten interviewed or surveyed. I've heard some stories about Grindr so I'm keeping my guard up and letting my family know what I'm doing and stuff lol.
