Let’s be honest. If I was alive back then, I would have been married off in exchange for a plow, 3 pigs, and 12 sacks of potatoes, if I was lucky.
Hmm 3goats take it or leave it
I’m sorry, I don’t know what to say. Literally, I don’t have any say in the matter.
Hey, don’t sell yourself short. You’re worth at least twice that many sacks of potatoes.
This is not strictly true. In many places, even in rural areas, there are still dancing events. They are not galas, they’re an analogue for peasants, but everyone’s invited if they care to look for the events, just like it always was. I’m sorry to those who don’t have this possibility in their respective area.
Look up “contra dancing” in your area
Yeah but we also still have tavern wenches like your mother.
Uncool dude… Mother deserve to be treated nicely on the fediverse.
You know their mother won’t see this right?
If she’s into “nice guys,” I guess I could role play.
So your answer to misogyny is more misogyny… How elegant !
That’s not misogyny, it’s objectification.
Back in the day we poor people would have had all night ho downs and tore the barn down, or had naked drunk parties in the forest. We should get back to that
Those still exist, you are just not invited to them 😛
You didn’t go to galas unless you owned successful businesses or people.
It’s funny, I got into my current relationship around the time the apps started coming out so I’ve never really used them, but I remember people were praising it as a lot safer for everyone involved.
And tbh I can see that being the case compared to the older school approach of nightclubs being majority populated with people actively trying to find someone to sleep with
I feel like dating apps are a lot more predatory than they were when they were first introduced. I mean predatory towards the users. Enshittified, if you will.
How? You get pictures and words from people you might like to date, same as it ever was. You can pay for bells and whistles, if you’re an idiot.
The companies that operate them are incentivized to keep people lonely to increase your usage for a chance you spend a little money eventually out of frustration or desperation.
