Do people really hook up in games � I mean... you have tons of other apps for that, why use game chats.
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
Indeed, it's a win/win
Do people hook up on lemmy?
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
Now there's a kind of open relationship I can get behind!
Hey there π
Am man
Sorry, I heard asbestos was toxic
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.
No, because lemmy is actually just me, and then six dogs pretending to be like 400 other active users.
Hey cutie π
I'm a 40 year old man.
Did I fucking stutter?
Holy based
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
Yeewww...
Jk I'm French Canadian even worse.
We can certainly make this work. I'm a couple swims into France.
In runescape you can buy gf, in dating app you no can buy gf, do the maffs
Depend on app friend
Runescape.com is not a dating site.
Then explain this
Checkmate atheists π
11yr old me would have disagreed
It's an instant common denominator. What's the difference than meeting at another hobby?
You know if someone is a 40 year old man or not

Commun... Communica...- you must have misspelled communism, cause I've never heard this word in my life. Fellas! I found a commie!! /j
Dating apps are not optimised to help u find a partner, they're made to keep u on the app
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.
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.
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.
Cause those apps suck unfortunately.
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.
Alf?
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.
Really? Had no idea to be honest.
