Most of mine I met at Work. Since I worked at a Amusement Park (12yrs), I got to meet a LOT of Females.

But my Last "Girlfriend" I met at a bar and she ended up cheating on me. Then was Surprised when I dumped her ###, then she chased me out of the driveway trying to get into my car, telling me how sorry she was.. that was 25yrs ago.

As far as meeting at "Church" them females are too much trouble and only looking to Rebel and the ones I met, Were Mentally Unstable.

The Females now that are interested in me, I can't write here or they will deleted it. Lets just say, I am not into Drugs..

How did people meet before the internet?


In comparison with meeting people through the internet, here in the UK. There used to be clubs for people wanting Pen Pals or to meet others for romance, they were not free to join, the club would produce a monthly magazine sent out to all members containing profiles provided by its members. Each member had a reference number, and contact was made by correspondence through the club to maintain members privacy, for as long as the member required it. They were very much the pre internet penpal/dating sites, and some clubs had worldwide membership, they have all disappeared giving way to the Dating Websites with the arrival of the internet.

It's a secret, millennials don't deserve to know.

You met on a small scale in your own direct area.
People in your street or fellow members of a club, or colleagues at work.
That still happens today.
But there was no talking to people from other countries on the other side of the world.

Never ever dated a colleague from work .... worst thing to do at work!!!
Mostly met women at the charity galas, fundraiser dances , church arranged picnics , or mostly at friend's house parties on the weekend !!

Noooo!!!
This information shouldn't be shared
where millennials could possibly see it.

Next, someone will think it's a good idea
to decode cursive writing for them.

Think about it.



Easy...pick one or more : by foot, bicycle, horses, camels, elephants, car, boat, train, smoke signals, drums, telegraph, telephone, snowmobile, etc...

Evidence of the meetings?...the world's population growth was not zero or stagnant before the internet...

How did people meet before the internet?

Your question is flawed.

There was no "before the internet."

The "internet" has always been.

Hiding, existing, through its natural wonders creating synergistic unions.

It used to be understood through patriarchal unwoke derogatory terms like "networking" and talking "face to facebook," and "interacting," or getting all up in "my(personal)space." I mean how could you name the nation "United States of America without the "internet" representative Americaonline (AOL)? You know how people make the "pspspsps" sound to call cats? The "internet" programmed modems to make a sound that would act the same towards humans.

Due to the response towards the LGBTQ community and equal rights movement, the internet decided to come out and live openly. Now it's LGBTQi.

Currently most of its focus is on reclassifying binary gender.
I mean who can really tell the difference between a 0001 and 0000001 just from the color of their genitals? It's what is inside that counts! The content of their character/profile creation screen!

Well, that's according to critical race common core theory.
And that's only accurate to about the 1400's.

Before then people met each other by smoking in bed, burning their house down, then having to wander aimlessly down the street until they randomly accidentally ran into someone (before light was invented so dark out, except for the fire, but people were sleepy, so their eyes were closed).

This was way before the invention of pants.

So sometimes it led to pregnancy as people wandering around without pants got stuck into one another and had to pass the time.
I remember my grandma singing a famous song from back then, one line just stuck with me to this day. "Whose who who is in whose whoms cha cha, don't tell santa."

Fun fact, after the great chicago fire it was illegal for a property to not have a fence, but right after world war ii it was illegal to own a fence.


Of course different cultures had different means of meeting people.
Cubans would yell out their window "anyone wanna say hello to my li'l friend?"
And different tribes were given a handbook (by the internet) accidentally misspelled "how to meat people," and became cannibals.


All that was on Discovery last night right after ice road shark truckers. Didn't you watch?
