Ten years ago I was ten years younger, which changes things. I think nearly any individual will say that it was better ten years ago because they were younger and hotter and hornier and had fewer aches and pains and responsibilities.
However, I will say that Lots of straight men have become actively red pilled, repellent, and unfuckable. I can get hookups, but I want to know I'm not inadvertently participating in a maga orgasm, so they need more vetting, which a lot of guys are unwilling to do (you know, the "u tryna fuk" as an opening gambit types).
