POF (plenty of fish) and OkCupid were just starting up and considered the tacky sites because they were free. Match and eHarmony were still the big dogs back then. Smart phones weren’t big then, so apps like Tinder and Zoosk weren’t an option, actually they’re still not an option. But never the less dating was way easier! Being out among a lot of single people makes the dating pool more along the size of an Olympic regulation pool than the kiddie pool it is now. It was probably because we were younger and no one was married and we’d be out and about almost every night. By no ways am I about to toot my own horn, because my musical skills are quite lackluster, but in my 20s I never hardly had to turn to online dating.
