I'm religious but don't go regularly anyway. I also don't know a single person who met that way.
Maybe you don’t know anyone who did it that way because you don’t go to church?
I do go to church and I think it’s a declining way that people meet, but it does happen.

Ditch this one.
If you find a young widow with 2 or 3 she's still a good catch.
When it comes to 1 or less kids it depends on the circumstances. If I'm on a dating app and she has multiple kids then 95% of the time I'm swiping left. If I met a woman in real life with multiple kids and we just clicked then I would date her. Now if I see a young widow on a dating app with 2 or 3 kids I'm open to dating her since I feel my religious beliefs have called me to do that.

Which sounds about right, but the OP is trying to figure out what's the prairie to graze in to get these mid-20s gals to hunt him.

If you have money you are fine.
If you don’t…don’t bother. Or move to a place where you are perceived as relatively well off.

Any nurse that looks good is getting taken to Pound Town by the married Doctors. Same with Flight Attendants they are getting fricked in every hole by the pilots. I avoid both groups.

I would say manage expectations.
At your age expect available women to be divorced with kids. If you are OK with that, you should be able to find a mature woman who can be a respectable partner.
I imagine a woman in the exact same boat as you likely has some serious baggage

I turn 40 in a few months. A year ago I met someone who I never thought could possibly exist. We're getting married this fall.
It happened when we least expected it. No dating apps. No "friend of a friend". We just.....met. And neither of us were even really looking.

There's so much truth to that. Being an attractive male doctor is almost as easy as just being an attractive female. It's like a cheat code (except he actually earned it).

Not doubting the veracity of ur post.. but is this true, and happening as often as people think ? Or is it just one of those conventional wisdom things where everyone’s always thought it’s true, but it’s less common than people think (?)

Find a few local bars/bar and grill with good looking bartenders/waitresses to hang out regularly. Once they get to know you those hot mid-20s girls will be throwing themselves at you... assuming you are decent looking and don't have a shite personality.

Step 1: Enjoy being single. Don't take that for granted.
Step 2: Go to the gym. Easily the best thing about being single was having the time to workout more and do things for myself. I'd suggest joining a group style gym like crossfit, irontribe, f45. Say what you want but its nice having some kind of personal training and you get to meet alot of new people. Don't over do it, show up everyday, get in shape, and make yourself happy. The rest will take care of itself.

There are a lot of 30ish year old nurses that fit those criteria.
What if I told you that I work in healthcare, but there's not one female here. Would you believe me?

Biggest cheat code, lifehack, whatever you want to call it that ive found is traveling/working in other countries.. WAY easier than becoming a physician or an airline pilot lol… and all of a sudden women generally find you- an average white Westerner - to be exotic and desirable becuase you are a novelty to them …. PLUS you get to see and experience other cultures .

I go to a CrossFit style gym and I have seen at least 3 relationships start within the last year. One of them started after a couple divorced. Another chick at the gym got divorced around the same time and she started dating the divorced man. The divorced woman was still going to the gym up until her ex husband and the other divorced chick went public.

Think about how often those groups are around each other. Late nights etc.
I've been around a longtime and know what happens. There are just certain professions to avoid - I'm not saying all of them are unfaithful etc but it happens a lot and you don't want to deal with it.

Don’t fabricate a scenario to meet a woman.
If you meet a woman doing something that you enjoy doing then you already know that you have something in common
If you enjoy tennis then play tennis and your chances of meeting someone who also likes tennis increases…. Same for any activity….

What’s your criteria? I hope you’re not being overly picky and ruling out single
Moms.
Finding a woman mid 30’s to 40’s with her shite together, unmarried, no kids, little to no drama, is a unicorn.
