  1. I never understood how people were comfortable with online dating. I never felt safe. I'm glad I never dabbled in it. Too many news reportings of people meeting online, dating apps, etc. – and getting "unalive" the next. I stayed off it. There's too many predators and fake people out there. Its not worth it. I never felt like I missed out on anything. As far as in-person dating, this doesn't seem like a good idea because you still don't know the person. Now, I don't know if its because I'm happily single, happily childfree, asexual, aromatic, part of the 4B movement and don't believe in the whole "put yourself out there" thing. Whatever it might be, I just wish people would stop this rhetoric that being single is a "bad" thing when its not. People cry about being single and then cry even harder once they're in relationships and it doesn't work out due to abuse, financial abuse/control, narcissism, gaslighting, manipulation, weaponized incompetence, etc. The person at 0:46 said the volume of rejection and disappointment is high. Well, if that's the case, why date then? Why engage in it at all if that's the likely outcome? The irony to me is that I saw a video recently of an older woman (in her 70s, 80s) being asked if she could give advice to her younger self, what would it be. She said, "not get married." Good luck.
