I swore off online dating late last year after realizing no amount of optimization was going to make me appealing online. The complete lack of matches across all major dating apps was also wrecking my self-esteem. I decided to go what most consider an even harder route, which was to try getting dates IRL and approaching women at social events or places I like to frequent anyways.
I was having some success with this (which means a huge improvement over getting no matches with OLD) earlier in the year...
Then the pandemic hit and all that evaporated. I tried getting back online and immediately regretted it within a month of no matches and getting that familiar depressing feeling of diminishing self-esteem.
So what the hell can I do? Just wait this out? Just stick it out on apps and get a therapist?
Before anyone asks about my stats, the only real de-merit to my market value is that I'm an average-looking Asian guy of average height (5'9") living in America. I have an advanced degree, a 6-fig job, above average physique, tons of hobbies, and a small, but healthy social circle.
