This is more of a cumulative list of things, not just approaches made during the pandemic. It's not like it happens every day. I'm not sure what the issue is, maybe it's just where I happen to live (but that's another story).
I can't comment on apps, I've never used one and know nothing about them. In fact, most people that I know in my age group haven't. We got about as far as POF (that's an old horrible dating website) back in the early 2000s and kinda stopped there. Again, it could just be my circle of friends.
Maybe the men in your area know how to behave properly. And yes, I can see your picture. You're very beautiful. Maybe that's part of the difference; perhaps I appear, um, shall we say, a little more accessible to them, cute, but not so beautiful as to worry that I'd never be interested (I really do have a killer ass though). ;)
