I'm sorry this is happening to you, John. I wish everyone would put down their phones down (and let their guard down too) long enough to see that there are good men and women in the world who want real love and connection.

I will tell you that rejection is as old as time, not a new phenomenon. Meeting someone IRL takes some patience, effort, and a thick skin, but it can be done, and it's been done for millennia, so don't give up.

Women, for god's sake, if a guy approaches you with sincerity and respect, the least you can do is be gracious and show some respect too. Not every guy is a creep!

You either give guys a shot or stay on the apps and be bitter and resentful. The choice is yours.

Best of luck to you John.
