    I live in nyc and I wonder how can you date here when everyone practically stays to themselves or avoid others it's like it you did not know so anyone in high school dating seems to be not realistic I tried online dating but it seems year after year I don't get any responses so I limited myself to going to swinger clubs but now it's getting old

    Interpunction helps getting responses.

    Also, i thought swinger clubs are for people with a partner?

    i'm from nyc. welcome to the world of modern dating, where you get fucked over if you're looking for something more serious than a one night stand.curious, are you originally from NYC? perhaps catch them as they're winding down from all the partying in their 35's to 40's.

    I wonder if modern dating is really that bad over there in all objectivity. Far from every suitable woman is only interested in one night stands. Here modern dating techniques seems to work great just as often as not. As is to be expected in most city areas.

    Yes originally from nyc it's like if you did not know someone from high school you have to just settle for hooking up at swinger clubs

    Not to long ago getting girls phone numbers in the street was common but now I don't know I think I would take a trip to europe like Germany to see if it's any different

    society today is pretty meh when it comes to facilitating meaningful connections. there's a general lack of social cohesiveness, which is aided by various factors at different levels.(i.e. cultural change/modernization, work hours/living expense, education requirements, gender antagonism, etc.)

    A general lack of cohesiveness in society should only increase the need and use of modern dating techniques. Which seems to be working here.
    A lack of affinity with the majority of potential partners in ones neigbourhood is what made modern dating succesful in the first place. Finally a chance to find a 'soulmate' or partner with similar interests without having to resort to the standard options!
    But although many people in a busy metropolis are occupied with their own thing, the standard options still can work. But you have to time it better, plus its not for everyone.

    In short: i personally find that finding a date for either a one night stand or something more serious is actually easier than ever. More ways to go at it than before too. But I'm in a different place so maybe that's it. I suspect though that the complainers have not actually fully explored all ways and base their stance mainly on stereotypes.

    For the purpose of this thread I will be referring to "dating" as something more than hooking up.

    No, it isn't necessarily easier, because although technology does facilitate the connection, the desire and overall approach/attitude of today's youth isn't geared towards establishing long-term relationships, and those who are are few and far between. "development" does funny things, for example, countries which have the most gender equality also have the greatest wealth, but also the lowest birth rates, greater lack of interest in family life, more short relationships, and a declining/unstable population.

    This seems arguable. Especially the last part.

    It's called freedom and choice. People may want a long relationship but don't settle for the wrong one like they used to. Besides, isn't it pretty wise to experiment a little before one settles down? Societal norms and values made that difficult in the past.

    Attaching a "noble" label to the things you do don't exonerate you of the negative consequences which may follow or responsibility for that action.

    The US is a big place and not all parts are like NYC. But it remains arguable either way

    Freedom and choice are good things to have.

    But what is it referring to exactly?

    Online dating sites are a joke, if you're on one of these my advice is delete your account like yesterday or sooner ! These sites are great for voyeurs but no one else ,forget them . Their job is to make money by selling you a premium account which offers no better responses than the intro-account did, they just make money and that's the bottom line.

    We live in an " F-you " society which means no one cares about anyone else , most men and women won't give you even the time of day so expecting a person of the opposite sex to actually return a friendly " hello" is completely laughable, not, I repeat, not gonna happen even if you bother speaking to them which I have learned isn't necessary any more.

    We're witnessing the utter and complete breakdown of social cohesion and it's only going to get worse so buckle up.

    Wish I had better news but there it is anyway .
