Do people really hook up in games 🀨? I mean... you have tons of other apps for that, why use game chats.

[–] ViscloReader 93 points 1 year ago (5 children)

People hook up everywhere, plus if you meet through a game you already have a common interest and a lot of stuff to chitchat about Win/win

[–] [email protected] 60 points 1 year ago
  • Mutual interest
  • Games often require talking and supporting each other well to beat the task at hand
  • Probably into more games and hobbies together

Indeed, it's a win/win

Lemmy is like Reddit, but with an even greater concentration of Linux and FOSS nerds, so the likelihood is extremely low.

Open source relationships it is then

[–] jagungal 3 points 1 year ago

Now there's a kind of open relationship I can get behind!

Sorry, I heard asbestos was toxic

[–] psud 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's not toxic, it's practically inert. That's what makes it carcinogenic

Any pic from a Reddit meetup was enough to convince me that trying to date via Reddit was a no-go zone.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, because lemmy is actually just me, and then six dogs pretending to be like 400 other active users.

I would relly appreciate to hook up on Lemmy because you have to be a nerd to be there. But I m French so I suppose its unlikely

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Yeewww...

Jk I'm French Canadian even worse.

[–] Gonzako 2 points 1 year ago

We can certainly make this work. I'm a couple swims into France.

[–] Aggravationstation 6 points 1 year ago

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Runescape.com is not a dating site.

It's an instant common denominator. What's the difference than meeting at another hobby?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You know if someone is a 40 year old man or not

Dating apps are not optimised to help u find a partner, they're made to keep u on the app

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I met my fiancΓ©e at a training thing for work. Everyone canceled except her her, me, and the teacher, so we had a lot of time to talk lol. We are getting married in a year and a half.

[–] wafflez 3 points 1 year ago

Congratulations I am glad it worked out well for you two /pos

I know some people have luck with them, that's invevitable. I was just saying they aren't great for most people and more so often are really bad for men's self-esteem. Some great statistic videos go into depth with the dating pool ratios etc. to explain this.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

And games are made to keep you playing, not find partners.

Regardless, this was just a booty call, my experience is that they're great for that.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (12 children)

Man, I've met partners I dated for years because of random shit. Reddit, random interactions on discord, and a few more. My parents met because of a convention my dad organized for a show that was off the air for a few years at that point.

Humans are social creatures and they do be socializing.

I personally connect with people easier through games. For me, it removes the feeling that I have to entertain someone through some branching conversation. There's less pressure knowing we're focusing on the same task or goal and conversations feel more natural based on what we're doing or observing. It's also helpful to see how people approach obstacles and how they handle/display their emotions.

I haven't played online games in literally decades, but in the 90s, when I used to play MUDs, people used them to hook up (or just do the cybersex thing) all the time. I'm guessing the only big difference now is voice and video are in the mix.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Really? Had no idea to be honest.
