Where did you meet your exes, for the most? Which area is the most successful one, in your experience?

[quaranta]

(If you have only one current partner that's valid too)
Feel free to specify other options if they were more successful for you (or for your friends, if you have no experiences).

Dating apps (Tinder, Bumble, OKcupid etc)

Online themed communities (games, topics/discussions, activism etc)

Friends of friends (birthdays, events, hanging out etc)

Workplace (colleagues, customers etc)

Real life hobbies, gym, volunteering

School, university, courses

Clubs, pubs, beaches, night city life

[Avicenna]

At school/university more than anything else. But almost as many were met randomly in public.

I've met the most dateable women online dating... even though I believe online dating has the lowest overall quality.

Irl I mostly meet total feminist career women and druggie sluts. Or at church mostly girls who try to do the right thing but their understanding of right is actually wrong.

Online essentially they are all sluts but if you know how to make the right ads and sift through the weeds you can find the real good girls.

Depends on what you consider success. But

1 - same friend group.

2 and 3 - tinder.

[annabananna]

I have two exes. I let one at a party and the other at the school library.

I met W1 at work. Horrible.

i met W2 when I was 9 and longed for her from afar for years. Disastrous.

i met W3 as I was dancing on a table in a bar in South America. 20 years later…🤔

Many years ago, I met my wife at work, we worked in the same office. After we got divorced after 20 years, I dated several women I met online dating sites, including my SO... we've been together for 6 years.

[TheVigilantOne]

I met her years ago and we lost touch for quite a few years then she messaged me on Facebook we got together she ruined everything and now we’ve gone our separate ways again.


Also why is that guy using his phone upside down?

[libsaretards]

I've only had 2 so my experience is not very broad. The first one I met while waiting for the school bus. The second one I met online. 2nd relationship was easily the worse one and I'm glad it is over.

I was part of a social group, she was too. I now have nothing but praise for that group. Granted, I had hardly anything bad to say about in the first place.
