Lower your standards. Easiest way to get a date is to find an uggo

I always dated people who were up to my standards, and never really had trouble just getting the first date, the hard part always came later. This is absolutely bizarre, either the world completely changed while I was in a relationship for two years, or I somehow changed

One thing has changed during those two years OP:
>online dating has become huge. Young people have the perception that since they can now search for partners rapidly, they can be very picky in the relationship market. Young people's standards haven't changed, they just believe that it's much easier to meet someone who matches their standards, and so screen out people out quicker

I wonder if it's that relevant in my age group, all girls were 25-27, which I thought hasn't completely been tinderized, but maybe it's a personal thing

At 27, they are probably still tinderized. It's not until the 29s and up that women start to widely open up their dating pool, since once they hit 30 they know it's all down hill from there. Their looks rapidly start to fade at that point, and finding a guy to settle down with is very difficult at that point, since most men at that age are seeking out younger women. Give it 2 more years OP, and your situation will be completely in reverse (the first date will almost guarantee you a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and so on dates)
