Grocery store, dog walk parks, volunteer organizations, social clubs, community college classes, continuing education classes to name a few.
This is the flip of your expectation, but...
I met one girlfriend in a grocery store. She wanted me to get something from a shelf she couldn't reach. After I handed it to her, she thanked me and thanked me. So glad I happened along. That I was tall. That she's short and depends on tall people. Why do stores put stuff up there? Oh, I'm Jan. What's your name? Jan is short for Janice but you probably figured that out. You're such a gentleman to help me. Do you shop here often?
After a while we had a regular conversation and did our shopping together. She gave me her phone number and we started dating.
No, it was not coincidence. It was intentional on her part. She picked me up.20 Reply

+1 yFriends. Ask your friends if they know anyone. Some of the best romance stories is you knew a friend who knew somebody. Or a brother or male cousin. It’s getting really personal but my thought process is if your best friend is cool maybe they’re relative would be good to date. Just ideas.

The friends of friends thing pretty much never works, the odds are way too small for a match to be within that group.
Also one reason I want a wife is to have at least 1 friend I actually like who's in my age group. - +1 y
@TheSpaceGnome if you never try you never will know, it’s better the. Going to a bar, or online dating where odds are even worse

@ChillaxingLove I don't drink alcohol so I don't go to bars, and currently all popular dating sites are designed to hide matches to keep people paying because everyone just loves the trash matchgroup produces I guess.
But the friends of friends thing doesn't work either, I've tried more times than I can count.
I can't relate to my friends, or their friends. I keep making new friends, but the same result happens, because I'm wanting what is well above average in looks and intelligence, and whats rare in hobbies and skills.
Anonymous(25-29)+1 yAt the workplace. I always find the hottest men working EMS, POLCIE and SECURITY. Workplace is where it’s at.
I never would go to no bar or club. I quit the gym cause some dudes were harassing me. I didn’t even wear thongs at the gym like someone women. Some inbred-looking loser was following me around until I felt forced to switch to another gym. 🖕😒.
I tried online, but those men had the smallest sizes I’ve ever seen in my life, one right after the other. 🤏
The hottest men online, would ignore me a day after texting me. So I quit ONLINE dating for good. I’ve gotten more dates and more D🍆K, from literal jobs. Specifically manly-jobs. We’re you can see more men. If you work alongside military personnel even better. I’m telling you. DROP THESE SIMPLETONS 🐑

Well, you know where to look for guys like me for sure. Some of us military dudes only do the pushups required to and we got some shitbags that won't even take a shower... you should inform them that there are some losers hidden in this realm as well.

Have you seen this video; it talks about what you’re talking about.
https://youtu.be/L6Ec7SYo7_k- +1 y
Jorden Peterson stealing my line, "Not my problem" right at the start of the video. 😂 Yeah, he's right though... stop blaming women in general and be a little stronger, do a little better, and aim a little higher. I see these dudes with all these issues and the "just can't do anything right" attitude try to blame a group of people (women) and it's like..." dude, you could shower." It's not that hard really... This shit comes down the line too, like I'll get some officer bitching me out about how I should tell that mother fucker to brush their fucking teeth. The type of shit I just do without even thinking about, now I have to tell someone else, "Hey! Go brush your fucking teeth!"
That brings me back to their problems with girls... We don't have problems with getting girls, maybe you could learn to brush your fucking teeth without another dude having to command you to do something so basic. ... The type of shit that makes me really ponder how these people were raised as kids. The shower shit is a whole nother story... can you imagine having to force a guy to wake up on time and go take a shower? Like the stink is so bad other people start complaining and it becomes your problem. Like I don't give a fuck about them, but I somehow get put in charge of getting them to do the most basic shit.
Needless to say... I'm so glad I'm not playing babysitter for grown men now. Them needing that though is the source of their fucking women problems though. If they upgrade to real women problems, then I'll hear them out.

EXCATLY OMG. I went on a date once, with a guy who wasn’t even that good looking, I just wanted to see if there would be spark and to give the guy a chance of the goodness of my heart.
He didn’t even dress for the occasion, and he smelled like pure ARMPITS, and he wanted to hug me on top of it. I could even smell cigarettes on him. 😒😒
Anonymous(36-45)+1 yGyms, online & at bars = sluts like to be approached at these places. These are the typical cheap & causal sex hookup sites and locations. Even at gyms desperate cheap women dress revealingly or in tight clothes because they're after causal sex.
Decent respectable women are to be found anywhere else except at slut/whore/prostitute wannabe holes at bars, gyms & online like what you mentioned.
It's harder however to approach women outside of a bar, gym or online because pickup lines that work on cheap women don't work. You actually have to be a respectable individual that has more interest in a woman than cheap causal sex.

Asker+1 yI’m insanely shy and introverted. I totally agree on a lot of what you said. It’s just so hard to get out there and meet anyone because a lot of other girls are so much easier to attain. I haven’t even had sex since my last relationship 4 years ago so I just wait for the right person. Some guys I’ve talked to before intentionally stopped talking to me and said it’s because they think I’m a virgin smh.
Opinion Owner+1 yBe yourself. Screw everyone else. The right man will come along. DO NOT ever change your approach to sex for some guy because 95% of those men who want sex early will NEVER stay.
These guys that stop talking to you as you haven't had sex recently stop talking to you because they are simply after cheap causal sex.
4 years means you have standards and bluntly put are not some cheap easy dimbo. These guys are not worth dating. Hell some aren't worth giving the time of day to.
You could blame being shy & introverted but I've seen girls who say they're "shy & introverted" at bars screwing anyone who'll give them a pint of beer. It's more standards why no sex in 4 years.
Asker+1 yWow thank you so much. Yes I definitely agree! And I still know there are good guys out there so I’ll wait. I might try to get out more though and find some new hobbies. Right now I work from home and I’m a competitive equestrian so I’m not around people a lot. My next thought is to have a good friend set me up with someone or attend more events. It’s hard lol
Opinion Owner+1 yYes it is hard, however, as the saying goes good things come to those that wait. I didn't have sex my first time until I was 30. Did I regret not having sex in my teens, twenties. Hell no.
Not when 80% of my peers in that age bracket were screwing anyone that showed them the smallest bit of attention and whining when they were tossed aside like yesterday's junk when the guy (who was only after cheap causal sex) got bored of them or found some other dimbo to screw.- +1 y
So any woman that goes to a bar, the gym or online is a slut?
Opinion Owner+1 y@Vegasrunner Learn to read. I specifically singled out women who dress in tight clothes, revealing, etc. at gyms. The average single woman at a bar is looking for cheap causal relations. And from what I've heard when I tried online dating it's nothing better than a bar with most looking for hookups.

So women that go to bars,
are online, or wear tight clothes at the gym are sluts?
Opinion Owner+1 y@Vegasrunner Are you simple minded? I said "with most" as in generally the norm is. Not everyone. If I meant everyone I'd have said everyone. Now go do something useful & troll someone else.
Opinion Owner+1 y@Vegasrunner And typically yes single women in this category - go to bars, are online, or wear tight clothes at the gym - are indeed sluts.

00 Reply2.4K opinions shared on Dating topic. It is up to you to approach them if you want someone good. Good guys won't be found in bars and clubs. They also know not to ask anyone out at work because it can be used against them even months later.
Either that or try online. Not some hook up app or anything free. Try eharmony or something similar.

+1 yGood question, women these days don’t like to be talked to period at any place.
You can’t say hi to women or talk to because they will try and sue you for just saying hi.
Women are so messed up in the head anymore, especially when it comes to dating, they only want a rich good looking guy, anyone else gets treated like a pice of sh$$t.

+1 yI can only speak for myself but I wouldn’t be bothered by a man approaching me at the gym or at a bar HOWEVER I might be taken aback by the way he did it depending on HOW he did it. Most of the time, when guys approach me in bars they’re piss assed drunk and often have their beer goggles on, so I will then often tell them “ask me when you’re sober and maybe we’ll talk about it”. If he does, I might give him a chance but if not, it was the alcohol talking.
00 Reply I prefer dating people I know, someone I know through friends, events, hobbies, that I've already gotten to know through friendship and shared experiences. Strangers don't have any appeal to me, so the place doesn't matter if they cold approach me to date.

I've found the more interests I have the less social I become.
But then most of my interests are not social activities, and when they are, its a small amount of people doing very difficult, unpopular, talent based and intellectual things, because those are my interests.
My pool to pick from is too tiny to find love that way.

If I approach a woman nicely, and she responds badly, it can only be a problem of her. So I just remove myself from the situation.10 Reply
Anonymous(36-45)+1 yMany women have been doing this for a while to make it more and more difficult for anyone to have the relationships they either don't want or already have.
While I think many of theses people don't think it thou I also think many of them pushing this message really do want women to be single and unapproachable.
10 Reply344 opinions shared on Dating topic. I agree, glad I'm not in the dating age nowadays. In my 20's and 30's you knew every person at the gym and could pick up girls there, in the mall, etc. Now if you say hello or good morning it's like your going to get sued. I would go to the grocery store and get girls numbers even when I didn't need groceries
