It’s never been an issue.

Do most people date by messaging random women on Facebook these days? Am I that out of touch?

Or is the implication that women have “posts pictures of their food online” as a requirement for considering dating someone? If so, who would want to date someone that shallow?

Maybe I’m just old, but I feel like I’m missing something here.

A point that came up in another discussion (elsewhere on Lemmy) is that it can be scarier for women to not find anything about a person that they're meeting for the first time (ex. From a dating app). So if they had to pick between someone who has a presence and someone who has no information, the presence would help.

This doesn't apply to people that you meet in person through work/school/activities or long term friendships

I love the irony of stalking people to make sure they’re not creepy.

stalking is only creep if a man does it.

I think having accounts I don't use is better than having nothing.

Realized many years ago that social media was making me more depressive so I simply stopped interacting with it. Tried dating apps as well and had numerous issues with their reliability and lack of honesty.

I've found a community of people online that I interact with and that has made me content with being single.

It would be nice to get back into the dating scene but I don't believe there is a way that makes me feel comfortable.

It hasn't. It was dead for many years, and i am finally not single without changing anything

Online trash never helped me
