      I get what you’re saying, and to a certain extent you are correct, but where do you go to meet people when all the people you might meet are sitting at home swiping their phone screen?

          No they do have a point. How are you to meet people with similar interests, if your similar interests are “Enjoys staying at home and being cozy all day”

              Well aren’t you just a quite sad person. No one should ever be lonely in life. There are plenty of people who would be quite happy with being able to share that interest, regardless of how difficult it might be to find someone with similar interests.

              I was also being vague on purpose, for instance, while my interests are simply being cozy at home, it includes doing many many things at home, but that don’t require me to go out. Online dating doesn’t solve this either. It’s very rare to meet someone in close proximity to you as well, so if that’s a route you want, you might want to be comfortable moving.

                for telling people to go outside and meet others instead of buring their faces in their phones and pretend loneliness and dating apps are their only choice? ok, bud
