I’ve met plenty of pervy and skeevy guys at parties and nightclubs too when I was younger. OLD may make them more bold but normal people are OLD too. Honestly, if you’re of an age where most people are coupled up (therefore single people at their parties are rare), and don’t work in an occupation that brings you into contact with lots of members of the opposite sex, you’re pretty much left with OLD, meetup groups or trying to pick someone up in the grocery store. Maybe it’s a factor of my age, but since my divorce at age 52, I’ve dated one guy who picked me up in a store (Mr. Big Lots), and been the victim of one unwanted blind date (concert with friends, they invited their single guy friend without telling me it was a fix-up, he was a skinflint chiropractor who didn’t want to tip the waitress). EVERY other date has been from OLD. This despite, pre-Covid, me being active in the music community and meeting many men there and even fans. The truth is, OLD is just a way to meet people who are actually available to date, in the large sea of people who aren’t.
