Speaking of grocery stores, what do you think about being an employee at one and chatting it up with customers? I rarely do that.
My reasoning is because I look like a min wage loser in my uniform. I work part time a couple days a week at the local grocery store still just for some extra cash while my business grows. I mean, for a 20 year old that's not a big deal working in a grocery store and flirting with young girls, but someone in their 30s working at a grocery store and they will think you're a loser even though I own a small business. granted the customers think I'm a kid when they look at me.
I think this is a problem too. The RARE instances I see someone in my area on OLD I never get a reply. We only have two grocery stores in this town. So there is a good chance the girl on OLD has seen me working there and thinks loser. Because I have no problems getting replies from HB7s on up outside of this town, it's just in this town I get hardly any replies. Hell, I can message someone 50 miles away and they will talk to me or will go on a date with me in a few cases.
