A good solution here is to ask open ended questions instead of ones with a yes or no etc answer and to talk about their interests.

So far it seems as though they're interested in nothing

[–] SweetCitrusBuzz@beehaw.org 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

There's nothing in their profiles about their interests?

[–] flashgnash@lemm.ee 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

At least in my age range most of the profiles are pretty generic, asking about stuff in them usually results in bare minimum generic responses or no response at all

Wow, that's pretty dire. I have tried dating apps and didn't really ever find much luck in them and started looking in places where dating isn't the goal instead like hobbies or common community spaces and slowly building relationships that way.

I've been thinking of doing that, tried some clubs in my area but it was mostly people in their 40s+

Kinda want to try get into climbing, I'm in the gym a lot anyway and I think most of them come with gym memberships too, I hear it's quite diverse but also not sure how social it is

Normal gym for sure feels like everyone wants to be left alone
