What a time to be alive. Women at gyms or beaches in thong bikinis. Women wearing leggings for every occasion. Women basically not even covering their top anymore. Women often look like refugees from rap videos dressing like they just can’t wait to be exploited again. It’s wild.
Getting said modern women to go on a date with you, on the other hand, is no fun chore.
I will lay out several instances of mine (and one of my friend’s) to illustrate the issues in the dating pool. William is/was not wrong with his description.
Servpro Chick: this attractive vendor came by my office every other month. She would shoot the breeze with me and was, according to my office partner, “very flirtatious.” I asked her out; yep, went on 3 dates with her. If you’re wondering, I thought after that many dates we would end the evening in the bedroom, but on the verge of “scoring” she confessed to me that she was married and had 2 kids. Yep. Maybe she was trying to see if she “still had it” but wow, what a way to treat your household.
Chick from one office down the hall: We actually met at the gym, on the treadmills. We spoke for about an hour. Quite literally two days later, there was a mixer for all employees in the building where we work. I saw her and went to speak to her; she acted like she didn’t know me. Previously we had a normal conversation, and then she brushes me off. This struck me as odd, but in essence why waste each other’s time pursuing further.
Spartan race chick: This one is truly bizarre. We volunteered several times to prepare racecourses for various venues. It happened that we worked together for hours at a time on multiple occasions in the past 2 years. She reached out to me in January and asked for my cell number. Oh yeah, after some texting with her, suddenly she said I just want to be friends. Again odd. Who asks for someone’s number to be friends only?
Dating app guy: This is actually from a coworker of mine. She matched with a guy on Hinge (dating app) and they had been texting each other. A date was supposed to happen Friday night, it was subsequently rescheduled to Sunday due to his “work commitments.” On Sunday, he ghosted her. Monday morning she told me he “unadded” her or something on that dating app. He then sent 3 messages to her saying she is “so beautiful and wanted a chance to make things up to her.” Of course she refused, she also declared she would be deleting the app.
There is a reason I do not do dating apps. It seems like that universe is filled with people just wanting a hook up, weirdos, whackos like the guy above, and people who don’t look like their profile picture. I’ve heard this enough that I believe this is the rule not the exception. I would rather just sit out that whole exploitation routine. As you can see, the dating pool is limited and not much hope anymore. But boy is the scenery great at my fitness club!

Editor’s Note: then there is the issue of whether said dating prospect has all factor equipment or aftermarket modifications. Yuck! Puts a whole new spin on trust but verify. Just sayin’.
