This is probably a completely Sheltered male perspective but I've been irl single for a few years now. With some caveats that are irrelevant.

It has been a while since I've been touched. And I live in Melbourne and have been locked down on and off for the last 2 years.

I just turned 30 and the dating pool, including me, is odd. I won't comment further on that.

Tinder is lack luster and unbalanced. Bumble doesn't let you woo a woman with words. Plenty of fish is.....😅 And hinge is God damned awful imo.

Being alone. Being lonely. Not even being touched (which I so fucking crave...God damnit) is getting to me. I'm 30....all the fun is behind me. I'm not even worth dating. I'm alone and lonely. I can't even bury my sadness in sex.

I didn't think this would hurt so much.

It hurts....
