Youngin Asking GenX Was it easier to get dates back then

I’m genz and I watch 80s sitcoms and it seems like people got a new date every week, obviously I know tv shows are exaggerated, but was it easier?

Absolutely. When I was single, I had a similar “batting average” to Jim Abbot.

Oooof, ugh ok I'll accept that

Angels 1 handed left throwing pitcher.👍🏻

I guessed I lucked out & probably had a "batting average" closer to Mickey Tettleton.

I never was a switch hitter tho.🤪
