Dude. It was the same people before the era of apps. The only difference is that you could weed them out faster pre app rather than having to wait to meet in person now.

Ok so you met before apps? And if you were dating now you would most likely, check out an app soooooo what’s your point?

Yes, dating apps are a drag but so is dating “in real life.” I have met ridiculous people on apps and in real life situations. I’ve also met great people both ways.
One advantage of apps is that you know the other person is interested in you. In real life, I had many experiences where I thought a guy was also into me, but he apparently just saw me as a friend. If I’m meeting up with someone I met on an app, I know they are at least marginally interested/attracted to me.

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.

We create targets for ourselves, then race to chase them down. Be it for a better career, money or a much higher standard of living. But I guess our youth pays a price for it. Not sure if this us just me or does anyone else resonates with this. For everything that I wanted to have and do have now, I feel just very hollow.
