Question

Do you have better luck in public or better luck on the internet?

No contest. The internet, dating apps, suck. Been there, done that. It's an insane way to try to meet people. Pics that are 10 years out of date. People who are bizarre personalities in person.

I ONLY interact with women in public, face to face, where I can hear voice inflections, see how they react spontaneously to flirting and conversation in general, and observe body language while making eye contact.

I also confine it to upscale places where a lot of people know me at least superficially. So I have some amount of credibility. And the same for the women I interact with. I've seen them there before. I know some of the people they interact with. But I'm still EXTREMELY selective about who I'll have a conversation with. And I will cut it off abruptly if I feel I'm wasting my time or hers. So many dumb people out there, LOL.

For guys it’s ever the uphill battle
But the ways to do it remain fairly standard
Social events, parties, dating apps, friends gatherings
And of course the emphasis on personal health looks and wealth is key to attracting a woman by default
If a guy is lazy and unkempt her’s dead in the water

I would say the best place is at school or work. I would not bother with the internet myself. A lot of people on these dating sites, like Plenty of Fish or OK Cupid are maladjusted or just plain weird. And who can forget the infamous Craig's List Killer? Too many games are played on the internet sites. I would suggest you avoid them. My cat tried one and gave up.

Out shopping or walking around town.. Dudes just stare, so you can start up a convo by initiating a conversation with them. A guy staring usually wants to talk but is just too scared. I sometimes think its weird but if he is hot I will say "Whats up?" first to break the ice lol.

@finchie40 My experience has been much better, meeting people in public, and that way - face-to-face and not bullshit

Personally I met my current partner online, I have had guys come up to me in public but I usually turned them down gently however I would say nowadays most people are shy or dont know how to pick up girls or guys on a night out (not that a lot of people want to meet their future husband or wife on a night but it happens) and so we turn to the Internet where you can meet anyone anywhere on the planet and it's a great way to make friends too

Get a dog train it & love it first, then check out your local trails, dog park or where ever people go with their dog. I’m sure you will meet some dogs lovers and you might fall in love with fantastic female.

Internet. Personally I don’t drink so bars and clubs have little appeal to me so Internet is my best option.

Hellraiser1984 · Answer

Id say public. In public you see who you are really talking to. They can't catfish you as bad as online can.

Just get out there to places where there are people similar age, and rely on destiny, internet is better for hook-ups though,,,

Spencer10 · Answer

Always meet in public. Online is generally a cesspool. But it takes courage to approach someone face to face but hey fortune favors the brave.

ProbablyClueless · Answer

Meeting people through friends is a really nice way to go. Friend circles, hobby clubs, church/spiritual congregations.

Jltakk · Answer

I only met one person online in my years of living on this planet. I've met friends through activities, as I was very socially active in hobby clubs and organizations in the area. But that's as far as that goes. Just friendship and nothing more.
