I've ended up blaming tech for this after finding time and again that I meet the most people in the most traditional settings. I'm not single and looking for singles, just friends the same age as me and my gf (early 20s). Most strangers in that age group won't make eye contact or respond to small talk. It's eerie. So in college, most of my friends were from fraternity BBQs and church, and now it's just church. Half my friends are old enough to be my parents, but idc. One unusually great example was this chess club I stumbled upon. They're all my age and meet once a week at a local restaurant. There's no group chat or anything, just be there or be square. Meanwhile the boba shop next door is people glued to phones ordering off an iPad and waiting behind a bunch of prioritized mobile orders.
