Why are local men so boring

I really must ask ah, how come so many local men don’t seem to know how to talk about anything other than work?

I have been on so many dates where I will literally ask the guy directly about his hobbies and interests, and he cannot even talk about them.

Talk about gaming, talk about Yu-Gi-Oh, even talk about some films you’ve seen lately. I am trying to provoke even infodumping. Still cannot.

Can only talk about work, which usually requires even more background knowledge for me to understand VS hobbies.

It is really baffling. You can’t talk even about something you’re interested in? How did you make it to your twenties like this?

At this point I have basically given up on local men. I suspect being an expat or immigrant tends to self-select for having confidence and a level of ballsiness.

Hopefully that will mean better conversationalists.

Interesting men are all taken by now. And interesting men don’t need to use dating apps. If that’s where you’re basing your observations from.
