it amazes me how people find partners outside of big cities

How would one find a partner in a big city?

[–] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Bars

Shared interest groups

Your friend introduced you

In that order

And I think specifically bars, not clubs. You won’t be able to have a conversation with someone in a club, though if you are stand out attractive, that probably doesn’t matter

You don't have to drink, it's just that's where people are.

Most big cities have dedicated places for finding a partner. For butch lesbians, it's Home Depot. For everyone else, try a bar maybe?

That also amazes me.

My friend actually met his husband at a speed dating event at a local video game bar called Battle and Brew. This was in metro Atlanta, which depending on where you live may it may not be considered a big city lol.
