What's the best way to meet women in your 20s?

I work 9-6 all week, and I'm probably past the age of clubbing, so what's the best way to meet girls?
Dating apps are more hookup apps and I want something real and genuine

I met my wife at a picnic. My little sister met her husband at a home party. In both of our cases, our spouses started off as a friend of a mutual friend in an inner social circle.

I think that's the best way. Seek out a group of friends (both sexes) or a community, ideally one that tends to expand (invite new nice people you meet into the group and welcome other people in the group to do the same).

Then you can have a blast spending time with the people and also potentially find your love interests along the way. Best of all, the other people in the group can vouch for their good character, like my friends told me my wife is such a wonderful and patient person when we first met which helped me to understand her character better.

I think this also reflects our evolutionary nature better. We evolved mostly living in small tribes of friendly faces and like-minded values and found our love interests among people we already knew well, so unlike the modern dating mindset which wants to date complete strangers in order to get to know each other. I think it's no coincidence that people who married their high school sweethearts often end up very happy since they're closer to that natural way in which we found our mates for the bulk of our evolutionary history.

On top of that, you can go complete gentleman and pay for the date without worrying about being exploited when you date someone you already know to be a good woman with mutual friends vouching for it. And the woman doesn't have to worry about being exploited for sex and her body in the same way.

It would be nice to marry a best friend. Love is the bonus

It helps if it's a bit of a flirtationship so that there's a clear mutual attraction the whole time and you don't have to worry about being friend-zoned. That was the case with my wife. We were very flirty the whole time soon after we met. We just became close friends since both of us were getting tired of dating. It wasn't until our friends left us alone one day and we danced and kissed that I finally made the move to ask her out.

Best way is to either meet someone through friends or at a hobby. If you go to the same gym every week or go somewhere to play poker or go to coach baseball.. something on a regular basis that is social is whets you can meet

Just find a girl in real life not online as online is a big scam so go to any club where you can find a girl to be your girlfriend
