I have not added to my notch count since the pandemic started.
However, I have had sex with multiple women since the pandemic started because of women who were in my life prior to the pandemic. Frequency of sex has been ok.
Lets face it social circles across the world have been all but decimated over the last 18 months
Not sure if this is true. I would think social circle would still be one of the best ways to get laid in a pandemic era. Nevertheless, social circles have been weakening for decades.
Swipe app conversion rates are poor probably less 2% of matches for most guys will actually convert / be suitable for sex
Swipe apps are a waste of time for most men, even when there is not a pandemic going on.
Night game & cold approach has been decimated by lockdowns and scaremongering
Yes, true. Good luck trying to do approaches with masks on in a grocery store. I think fewer people have been going to the mall. I've not been to a traditional enclosed mall since the pandemic started. I have been to a big box store in an outdoor strip mall. At least they were open. Night game was likely worse off than that.
Liquor stores had the potential to be a more active than normal pickup venue during the pandemic, but even in a liquor store, you're still coping with the masks and scaremongering issue.
The only viable approach mechanism has been outdoor approaching. Only a small subset of men can do that in normal times and an even smaller one can do it in pandemic times.
