They got a lot worse over the years, and they’re exist to extract money, not to provide a service to its users.

    I’ve never met an attractive woman in any meetup, sports even, hobby, or volunteering thing I have ever done.

    This sounds extremely implausible. Those activities should have a wide, fairly random, selection of attractiveness. Sports might favor people more physically fit, which is positively correlated with common ideas of attractiveness.

    Maybe you’re using some non-standard or idiosyncratic standard of attractive?

    I get absolutely nothing except the occasional random weirdo woman who approaches me at a bar and starts telling me what stupid jerk I am for reading books or having a cat

    On the other hand, maybe you live in hell?

      The attractive people involved are already coupled.

      physical fitness has nothing to do with attractiveness. lots of unattractive people are super fit, and lots of attractive people are unfit.

      I live in a city full of wealthy entitled people, who think they are superior to others by birthright and what college they went to, and who won’t talk to you if you don’t work for a fortune 500 company.

        It is also extremely implausible that this is 100% true. Unless you were going to events that select for couples, you’re going to find a mix of relationship states.

        People generally find healthiness attractive. Fitness is correlated with healthiness, and this somewhat correlated with attractiveness. Tastes differ. But generally, people are not going to find “can’t run up the stairs without wheezing” more attractive than “can run”

        Very few cities are so homogeneous. Don’t dox yourself but what do you feel comfortable sharing about what city this is? I find it extremely unlikely that the entire city is full of people who only talk to fortune 500 people. Do all the wait staff and service workers exist in silence and depart the city at dusk?

        Sounds like you’re putting up barriers blocking your own success, mostly.
