Because there is nothing to debate, you have only one option to get new leads which is pretty much online/social media or pinging old leads.
In the midst of a frightening global event that has negatively affected people’s lives in many ways, some have found that connecting through online dating is a rare bright spot.

Well turns out, bars reopen next week (terrace bars). That is still much better than Tinder.
During lock down (till may 11th) there was simply no (legal) options - hence Tinder was not an option either.
Then after the heavy lock down ended (i.e. moving onto partial lock down), Tinder was kind of possible (i.e. you were allowed to meet your matches). However this was difficult and not worth the time for the following reasons:
- Over twice as many men as women on Tinder - a shitty market
- Tinder passport - making it hard to match with local girls (my theory is that this was done on purpose)
- Women having their sex drive and mood below 0. Skills (and many americans) are technically KJ'ing at this point, because they have not been 2-3 months under lockdown. They are behind Europe in this regard. In the beginning of lockdown, women where contacting me, women were asking to meet up once lock down ended and so on. But after 2 months of TOTAL isolation, it had an impact on their brains. It is a fact. Women are not even hiding this fact. Some girls I know do not even feel like going out to buy groceries. And now you expect THOSE GIRLS to be willing to meet YOU up (in a market like Tinder, dominated by men)? Dream on buddy!
- And I forgot to mention, not only do you deal with a shitty market, and a women in a bad mood, but you also require getting TONS of compliance - since you do need to get her to come STRAIGHT to your place.
So to recap...
- You need to get a girl to come straight to your place, a girl who:
- You met through an app with a higher percentage of men users...
- And it being an app... you have very few pick up tools at your disposal...
- You deal with depressed girls with 0 sex drive...
- And the app working against you (tinder passport)..
And you claim this is not up for debate? I think lockdown has clouded your judgement.
I did not bring into the equation all the new escorts and girls selling "company". Just to make matters worse.
If Tinder was an option... then where are all the Tinder lay reports (from lock down)??? And more interestingly, where are the reports from guys pulling from Tinder after 2 months of lock down...?
Nowhere.
In my opinion, it is better to bang fuck buddies and just work on something else until one is allowed to start doing pick up again.
Best,
