Buy a plane ticket to Bogata (just one example). Go to Andreas and chat up the waitresses who speak English. If you are not repulsive you will score an OT 8 on your first night. If you are very shy it might take you three nights.

A niece of mine just went on a date with a guy she met in Hinge. I had never heard of that site. Simple sinner and a movie. Apparently it went well. They're in their early 20s though.

Man up and go meet women in a bar like the rest of us used to.

I just did it the old fashioned way and met my wife sophomore year of college.

Sorry.

I’m not saying this doesn’t work for some. But I live outside a bigger town and my church is small and there’s very few singles.
I have some really fun hobbies and enjoy meeting people at those places. I didn’t mention bars as that’s not my scene.

OP, if you don’t have a hobby get one. And find people who enjoy that. Once you make friends with similar interest there is bound to be an old lady in your crochet class with a lovely granddaughter you should meet or a nice quiet girl in your cooking class that you keep catching looking at you. Heck you could even get a dog and go to the dog park. There’s been many couples made at the one I frequented.

I came here to say something similar.

Hobbies. If you don't have one that leads to meeting new people in person, find one you like that does. Don't ignore everyone that you wouldn't consider dating, as those people still know other people. Many of the married couples we hang out with met through friends/family.

Find the stand with the longest line. They will have good stuff. “So I am new around here but used to go to my farmers market in X - what are they known for?

well i had success without money

Not to say I didn't run across gold diggers I did it's just I didn't go out on second dates
or further dates once I saw their true nature even when I was slow to learn because they were hot and I was getting laid

its possible,, The ones that are so cynical in their dating and monetize their youth or looks actually make it not only a horrible experience for men but make it worse for the women that are looking for sincere relationships

something worth remembering for the guys still in the game

Bumble is the only one I’ve had luck on, and it’s usually when I go to cities.

Seems like a lot of work to inevitably give up half of your shite and have to move out of your house. Just light half your shite on fire now and go fishing, it will be less painful.

I’m with you, buddy.

Wife left me a little over a year ago to be with her side piece.

I’ve had zero luck on dating sites, but it’s probably because I’m chunky. That said, after my breakup, I’ve significantly lowered my standards in the looks department and would rather a girl that’s loyal, supportive, knows how to communicate, etc. I’ve been shot down a couple times in public too.

What if your hobbies are shared only by other dudes?
