I tried chatting on some of the recommended apps on Reddit and I can confirm that none of them work.

Which bring me to the following question: How do you find people who are interested in long-term relationships online?

Note: Please don’t suggest looking in the real life.

    Facebook Dating has ironically been miles beyond other sites imo. It’s completely free and the algorithm works very well. There’s also a section for finding friends if dates aren’t your thing.

      As much as I don’t like Facebook, I was thinking to mention it. Yahoo locals chat used to be excellent for me. I’d just mock the other guys in the singles chat, and had a profile pic available. -Be nice to find something like that again.

        I’m the sergeant-at-arms of the Scranton New Jersey insect club. We’re looking for a new treasurer. If you like creepy crawlies and are good with counting pocket change, give us a call.

        Ignore this idiot that’s shitting on you for this comment. Some people can’t help being dickheads if they see an opening.

        Searching for friends online isn’t going to fix the fact that you’re a nihilistic sad-sack whose interactions with people are always fundamentally unpleasant. Nobody wants to hang around someone who only says sad shit and no-one wants to be asked for advice then have their ideas shit on. That’s why so many depressed people turn into comedians, if you’re gonna say awful shit you at least need to wrap that turd up in some party paper and put a bow on top.

        This isn’t even me telling you not to look online; that’s actually completely fine. It just won’t actually fix the problem because your problem isn’t the format, it’s your attitude. This is blunt as shit but I worry if I state it less than completely explicitly you’ll gloss over it, and I wouldn’t say it at all if I didn’t think it was something you could change about yourself.
