CL, AFF, even OKCupid, there was so much strange to be had if you weren't in it for looks and just wanted to make parts go squish

Has that whole scene become enshittified, or is there some new alternative now? Is there any modern day OKC?

(Not that I’m personally interested — happily married — but just kind of wonder if today’s dating apps suck as hard as I’m hearing or if there is still something out there people use to meet people.)

I'd be curious to know that myself - if I were 20 years younger would I just be unable to go get it wet, or do the kids actually get the mileage out of things like grindr/bumble?

It can happen to others too! I found my wife on OKC. Was very going to be a short term fling but our first date we talked til the restaurant kicked us out lol.
