As much as I understand your opinion, I'm really struggling to understand how couples meet outside of apps now. I've been in a long-term monogamous relationship for more than 20 years, I'm completely out of the loop.
Bars/Pubs. The booze helps lubricate those social wheels. Or friends of friends being introduced to each other.
But honestly anywhere could be a place to meet someone if you're not a creep about it and don't try to force it.
Kinda sucks when you don't drink though. Best advice I've heard was to take up a social hobby, but I haven't a clue what that would be either.
Like you said, find an excuse to leave your house I guess.
I think there need to be social locations like bars for people who don't drink (or don't drink a lot) but do use cannabis. Weed "bars" where you can have a similar social situation with a different type of social lubricant that gets people talking.
That still wouldn't cover everyone, obviously, but it would add to the mix.
The problem with that is that I have zero tolerance for stupidity and superstition, so I'd have a lousy time in most conversations or initial dates.
