It's 2017, get a Tinder account.
Tinder only works if you are in the top 10% of males. If you are short (anything under 6 ft nowadays), a minority, fat, etc using tinder is an invitation to get your self esteem crushed.
There's no place for the average or below average men in the dating scene anymore. It's all about height,Wealth,penis size and overall looks.
On the other hand, if you're already publishing cringey articles about your love life, perhaps the calculus shifts.
