Taking a pragmatic / practical look at dating in 2022.
Problem: find a partner with matching values and interests
Solutions: Where you work, church, social events, entertainment venues, and dating sites
The opportunity is probably less than it was 40 years ago to find an acceptable match at 1 of first 4 listed.
That leaves dating sites as the primary solution.
Problem: There are far too many dating sites, I in no way will attempt to list them all. This forum acts as a dating site for a few. We need a national register of available singles!
Problem # 2: Distance, the older we are, the less likely we are to want to relocate. I’ve passed on 5 potentially good matches due to distance alone.
