Reply to comment by beaveristired in Dating? by whoawhoawhooooo

Everyone everywhere says the place they live sucks for dating. Especially NYC. I think people just are largely not that interesting and when you start meeting a lot of people, you realize that quickly

That’s definitely true everywhere. But it does seem like especially slim pickings here in CT. Lots of married people with families. It’s easier in New Haven than surrounding towns because there are always new, often younger people moving here. Outside of New Haven, it’s pretty dull, though. The joke along my friend group is you either set your radius for 1-2 miles, or you set it 72 miles to include NYC. (Also cuts down on the LI match suggestions - close yet so, so far.) Being queer, I’m used to traveling for dates. The sheer amount of matches in NYC is overwhelming. You’re right, though, most of them likely aren’t very interesting. But at least there’s more options (and fewer unicorn hunters, I swear every third profile in CT is a couple looking for a third).
