Love the nature and the feel" of the area, but DO NOT love the dating options here.
I have tons to bring to the table, career-wise, looks-wise, hobbies, background, personality-wise, etc., but no one seems to care, for the most part, tbh.
-Tried most major dating apps, Tinder offers a great case series of personalities plagued by incomplete recovery after deep emotional trauma, Bumble does a spin on a popular childhood game, giving you "talk-talk-ghost", CMB is largely inconsequent, and I still have PTSD from the candidate pool offered by Hinge.

still, essentially, no guarantees, but now for a quite a sizeable cost (if what I hear is correct)" Reddit - Dive into anything Anyone tried a matchmaking service?
