  Love this post. It highlights just how fragile the dating scene has become thanks to the Internet. Communication is becoming even more difficult, despite there being more and more avenues to connect with people. I’d be happy to share some of my experiences, but it’s a pretty depressing tale. To say that you have to be positive, resilient and optimistic is an understatement in modern dating. RHP has definitely given me some positive experiences. Allowed me to finally explore my Kink. Fet meets were problematic in the least (trying to sound positive 🤪). Tinder had a much higher hit rate, but required more work and had a lot more negative experiences. POF was a hilarious disaster. Bumble netted me one lovely gent and one abuser. And nothing else. Old fashioned dating platforms (single nights, etc) were so sad. People searching for a ‘perfect’ match and everyone leaving alone. 🤷‍♀️ I’d also be interested in other people’s experiences. 😎

  What MissOliver13 said. All apps Ive tried have been time consuming and disasterous at times. Apps where both people have to match first have been better for me as at least you know you're both initially attracted to each other, and apps with 24hr timeframes to message are difficult if you're busy. I tired speed dating once last year in the lead up to co hosting a couples speed dating night for RHP users. It was...sad. but I did end up dating someone I met there for a little while. I'd much rather meet someone organically. There a site called Meetup that I joined the last time I moved cities and didn't know anyone. I joined a motorbike riding group which was a great way to explore the area and make new friends with the same interests. There's a group on there for everything and they had singles events too although it's been years since I've used it. There's no perfect app or way to meet someone, but trying new avenues is fun and often leads to unexpected results and some pretty funny stories. It's also good to take a break and refresh when you feel like it's getting you down a bit.

  On the couples front things have been very quiet since Covid started and haven't picked up recently.....or maybe it's just us. We just use RHP. Very few parties since Covid and clubs have apparently been quiet too. Lots of couples looking and chatting online but very few committing to meet. Lots of maybes. We're sick of sending out messages asking if people we've chatted to are available so we put up dates and get very little response. When we do it's mostly from fairly hard-core couples, which isn't us. When we do meet couples the flirtation just doesn't seem to get reciprocated. We are late 40's / early 50's and there seem to be very few active couples in our age range atm. We are open to younger couples but they're generally not open to us. We are a truly easy going, fun, flirty, genuine couple who takes a bit of pride in appearance and likes full swap if we click over a few drinks. We think we're a common swinging couple but we're finding it hard to find similar atm. Trying to stay positive and hoping things pick up.

  In my experience RHP is a tough place for genuine single fellas, but the same can be said for all the others

  About a million times more success just going out to venues and M&Gs like the ones you arranged, CT ;-) The amount of time spent trying to arrange meets from online platforms is outrageous. Been on RHP for a number of years now and can't say it's changed or is better or worse than, say AFF, but the million to one ratio has held steady through that time. See a few ads on Locanto and wonder what their hit rates are like.

  I (female half) was single after 22 years of marriage and never thought I’d try online dating but similarly to the OP had married friends and didn’t meet anyone at work. I went on Bumble with pretty close distance parameters but wide age parameters and connected with and chatted to so many interesting fun and lovely guys. Had lots of fun dates, no horror stories and met my gorgeous boyfriend of nearly 3 years😍 So a big 👍for Bumble here!!
