speaking from my own personal experience. options for dates were lackluster and I couldn’t get what I wanted out of the relationships I had so, I looked elsewhere.

especially in small rural communities where the opportunities to expand your experience in mature relationships. most the dates I had were, “let’s get wasted and fuck on this dirt road” or “let’s get drunk around the bon fire with all our friends and go fuck in the woods”. sound nice, but if it’s the only option every weekend it gets old.

I wanted a personal connection to someone outside of getting drunk and having sex, others are fine with it.
