 @Springtime for Zeon (Woggy Mk II) i just don't get this hysteria around dating. What the hell. I've always seen things happen naturally around me. Why do people keep on insisting on formal dating?

Just act naturally, be friendly and eventually you'll go out with someone. If nothing else happens, why go apeshit about it? There are better things to do. If you feel lonely, your problem is probably not just girls. 
 You’re either working with women, have spent time in athletics growing up, or you’re in your late 30’s and beyond, if I had to guess. 

A lot of these kids are just stuck. Partly their fault, partly society’s, partly the parents. It would seem natural to meet people, but a whole lot of kids literally can’t meet anyone in their daily life. Even colleges are quiet now. I worked next to a pretty popular party school for a bit, and going around it became apparent they were just like my campus: Kids live at home, commute to class, and leave the second it’s through. You’ve got a 1.6 minute window to talk to that girl because she’s speedwalking back to her car to go watch netflix back home.

Nobody wants to leave their house. Exposure to new people is insanely low today.

Quite possibly the biggest and most damaging lie there's ever been when it comes to this topic 
 just walk up to the viable female of breeding age and give her a firm handshake
