I cook at home because of restaurant prices and tip culture. Driving everywhere sucks. Everything feels miles away so good luck walking.

    “you’ll settle for whoever’s around” is a compelling argument - if whoever is around happens to be good enough

    Bit of a tautology there. My point is if there’s only 1 person of your age/gender(s) then it’s longer odds they’re going to be a good match. Sure, they might be “good enough” but wouldn’t you rather have “great”?

      If you get too picky you will never find anyone. Loneliness can be worse than setteling for good enough. There is of course too bad, and this is all personal, but there are too many different things to look at to demand perfection in more than a couple places. Which things you demand is up to you of cousre.

        Sure, being too picky can lead to loneliness. But that’s kind of off topic from “you’ll have more rolls of the dice in a place with more people”, which was my earlier argument.

        I wouldn’t want to settle for someone with no shared interests and a not-my-type body just because they’re here. Everyone involved deserves better.
