I mean I live in Brooklyn and I get about one date a month. Probably more if I hit the apps every day instead of just tinder. And I'm a pretty average guy with a big deal breaker.

I'd love to see more of what guys who are failing are doing differently than me.

I lived by Park Slope (Windsor Terrace) for a year (moved out of NYC in June) and yeah I got a fair amount of matches, but half of them never turned into actual dates because people were too busy with their lives. I'll admit that I did get more matches when living in Brooklyn than when I lived in Manhattan, but as you're aware, Brooklyn is fucking huge.
