I'm not much of a believer in real life. While I don't know about most people, I never joined hobbies to find a date until I realized I had to get serious about finding someone. Until that point, I just did whatever was most fun. If I was in a badminton league, it was purely because I wanted to play badminton. So, when I started picking hobbies and going to events based on gender ratio first and fun second, it felt kinda awkward. I figured most people were like what I used to be. If they were in a badminton league, it was probably because they wanted to play badminton, not to get hit on by some guy. On a dating website, everyone is at least in the same ballpark of expectations. It's straightforward. And, ultimately, it worked. I got engaged after 4 years with a great girl I met on OKC.
