Is that really the case?
I think people feel the need to go out, especially when they are single. Not necessarily for dating purpose but when you have nobody to talk to at home you look more easily at danse/gym classes, sports club, art events, etc.
- slothtrop 3y agoThey feel the need increasingly because those needs aren't met. Watercooler talk is gone for many tech people in particular. I've done most of the aforementioned examples, and gyms have not been a place to socialize very much; people are there to train on a schedule, then leave. Sports clubs can be more forgiving but it depends on what you're doing (dancing may be better). I played competitive team sports as an adult a few times and unless you were already part of some in-group, making friends is not that easy. People play then go home. I had the largest returns (socially-speaking) in book clubs and similar groups like that.
- prmoustache 3y agoI mentionned gym classes specufically, not going to the gym. Like I have a few friends who met people within the group of their crossfit/whatever fitness class it was and when I am passing by on the seafront I very often see people doing sports with a coach, some of them having a chat when they are finishing up and wrapping their yoga bag and stuff.
