Why I Don't Do Online Dating Sites Anymore

I have never used OLD but I would imagine it's no different than any other "eveyone in the pool" solution.

Overwhelmingly poor results and mixed success

Loving OLD again, the problem is time, met several potentials and just trying to fit everyone in that I'd like to meet. It's a gold mine for dudes. Especially average (or below) schmucks like me that wouldn't get the time of day for the most part in the world at large.

The grocery store is a gold mine, overlooked by many. I stumbled onto grocery store dating by accident.

I don't see how. People don't talk. Lots of the single people have headphones on. Its families. Its crowded. People with their kids. Carts clogging lanes.

Maybe you go to a very different super market than I do.

Besides, I wouldn't have any reason or impetus to talk to someone there. It isn't like seeing a band where you're sharing something in common already. Everyone goes to super markets. And I don't know anything about them so there wouldn't be a reason to ask someone out. And then of course I have to be looking for rings too. I just don't get it, but glad it works for you.
