Anyone else having next to no luck meeting people on dating apps in the city? Where are the best places to meet singles (ideally 25-30) downtown? I'm fairly free some weeknights and the weekend and I'm willing to make meeting someone a priority

Pick up a hobby you are passionate about and perhaps you’d meet someone while doing something you enjoy. You’ll have that shared interest to build off of. Plus you’ll be doing something you really enjoy.

smart

🎯 Exactly this.

I literally only met weirdos for almost 2 years on the apps and then found my current BF on bumble! They exist! I'm mid 20s- my girlfriends and I go out quite frequently and I can assure you the odds of meeting your man's at a bar here is probably 2%. People always told me to play volleyball or do group activities but in Portland that can be very hit or miss. You could also always go on bumble BFF to find more girlfriends to hang w and expand your circle that way and maybe meet someone through a mutual friend 😊

I like the Radio Room.

Every time I've gone there everyone is dressed in long skirts / super hipster / crunchy / insane mustaches. There's also a lot of individual tables which isn't conducive to meeting ppl. If you're into that kind of guy- I'd recommend their sister bar the keys lounge- but also the likelihood of meeting a quality guy at a Portland bar is low hahaha.

I gained weight during my last relationship (probably around 30 lbs, and I’m 5’9”). Before my relationship, I felt like I could get any guy. But I’ve been single for 2 years now and it’s been so hard to date. I’m not sure if maybe I’ve lost confidence, but I legitimately don’t know how to get a guy to be interested. Any pointers?
