I mean.. what do you want me to tell you? I moved to a big city the moment I turned 18. I then moved a bunch of times, and then immigrated. I'm broke, bro. I still did it. I put my shit in the back of my 15+ year old volvo and moved. Based on the downvotes, ya'll salty and hating, apparently. And refusing to take personal responsibility for your loneliness. Go outside. Visit a hackspace. Meet some furries. Have some depraved sex at a convention. Edit: Thread full of people unable to take control of their lives and unwilling to make sacrifices for their futures.

I've moved plenty and you don't see me ever casually suggesting it to a stranger on the internet. Not once. There is no one, no one ALIVE, who doesn't know about moving. Likely the person you suggested it to moved 5 times already and knows more about it than you. It's very possible. Eat shit with your shit advice. The person was asking about dating and you told them to move without knowing a damn thing about their life or preferences. It's really dumb.

The ol "my life experience is universal" argument I see. I did move, everything I own fits into a backpack and a suitcase. I'm in this tiny ass town because it is where I could get a visa because I'm fleeing the US before they execute my trans ass. If I leave now we're talking flushing literally tens of thousands usd down the drain on the off chance I manage to find another way to get a visa somewhere else. So as far as dating goes again I'd love to know what the correct way is if not apps, and I'm vetoing "risk my life" options like moving.
