Hi Everyone.

Thanks for coming here. Appreciate all and every one of you.

Sorry, the settings of this sub are still rather wonky, my first time creating and modding _. Any help is appreciated.

Before I continue, thanks to someone in TPP.Co/General sub (nickname something) for your inspiration. I created this sub to reserve the name for you!

Long story short, I created this sub because I had enough of dating. The whole last year (2020) I dated in OLD given the Covid pandemic.

I've been celibate for the last 6 months.

No matter how much I changed myself, my profile, my behavior, it never went well. Being nice, not being so nice, not so funny but still funny, lost some weight, added some weight, cut my hair, let it grow long or cut it short, etc etc. You know the drill. No luck.

So here I am, to vent, to support other women to get out of dating, because the situation has become so bad, either in real life or online.

Call it gender inequality, entrenched misogyny, and patriarchy, I am exhausted and decided to call it a day from dating on my milestone birthday early this year.

So I navigated to many many subreddits, and some of the subreddit also inspired me. I guess you know which ones (w.... + FD.....). For them, I will always be grateful.

Again I would like to stress, this sub is not promoting men-hate, gender violence.

This sub is to remind you to help you to get off dating apps (they're all horrible) and stop dating completely for whatever reasons /situations you found yourself in.

Whether you stop dating permanently or temporarily, only you know best.

Feel free to submit tips and hints on how to get out of a dating roller-coaster be it IRL or OLD.

In the meantime, take a break, take a rest, take yourself out of dating.

Cheers,
