I don't understand why there isn't an obvious answer to this question. I've literally never seen one. People always say "go to meetups" or whatever, as if those happen all the time or usually have anything to do with your interests. And Meetup is literally full of online events now anyway, how the fuck are you supposed to meet anyone like that?
>>33218088
By going to the events. I understand that it's not a foolproof thing and could even make you more upset if it doesn't meet your expectations. But you can't play the fool as an excuse forever. Eventually those social spaces, be they dating apps or whatever, are going to need to be accessed by you and you will face the possibility of negative feelings and rejection. If you're thinking, "But surely it can't be this bad," welcome to capitalism and to life in general.

This is a societal problem, it's like why there isn't world peace or faster than light travel, or why we don't have universal economic equality. They are just hard problems, because humans are awful at cooperating, and a lot better at competing and hating each other.
It's really upto how much effort you're willing to put in. I volunteered somewhere pre-covid for a few years and I was able to get a high paying job from one of my friends there & several very close friends that I've done trips with out of it.
Very cliche but life is about how much you're willing to put in. Most people want to make friends and meet people. "If you want a seat at the table you have to be willing to plan the dinner"

I'm trying to figure this out myself. My last experience with a Meetup is it was mostly men. Meanwhile, when I go to yoga/pilates it's almost exclusively women.
I'd say yoga/pilates. I'm pretty athletic so I get mires when I go to yoga but I'm too pussy to actually talk to anyone. I did have one woman start a convo with me but I lost touch with her.
A braver man than I would probably have better luck though.

not my experience at all, I live in a bigger city and the bars are filled with people, there were actually almost more women than men there the last time I went. Most men such as myself are too scared to approach so it comes down to a handful of guys approaching most of the women there.

School. The best place to meet people is in university. If you've already graduated, it is gonna be more difficult, but you can still take classes in other places like cooking or dancing classes. If you have a corp job, you can go to networking events

ngl i feel like everyone there is already fine and healthier/more attractive than 60% of people already
theyve been attending for 2-3 years on average, most walk in groups, what does my stinky ass have to bring
but if you can single out someone or cast the net wide enough then i guess

cheerleader effect. stop being insecure and look at them individually.
and even if they are better looking than you, there will always be options.
Why do you guys always ask this dumb shit? People meet their friends and partners overwhelmingly at university and school. If you spent like 10+ years in education surrounded by people the same age every day and couldn't get any of them to like you it's more or less over and you have no one else to blame. No, you aren't going to meet your (girl)friends at shitty dance or cooking classes you fag.

My friends sometimes go to the mall just to eat some weird mango drink and look (not buy) clothes. Has to be the most boring thing imaginable idk why they do that
It's not just you. My only question though is, we've heard time and time again from all females when asked that they'd pick the black guy over the guy of their own race. Yet they have started facing the same issue as guys in getting into a relationship. Why aren't all these females ending up with black guys since it seems +100% would die to be with them? There math and what they say ain't adding up with their actions. Surely the blacks approach and ask them out everyday so it's not like they even have to do anything to be with a black guy like they preach that they want. Can some Anon explain this behavior or real life experience. You would think there'd be nothing but 1/2 black kids running around everyone by now, but they're dealing and copying single guys issues too, and it just doesn't make sense.

Since you are either too dishonest to admit they exist or too lazy to read them, the summary of the other roughly 60,000 threads asking the exact same stupid fucking question can be summarized thusly:
Leave your fuckin ghouse, go to as many different places as you can, and talk to people until oyu make friends.
Since you obviously have no more hobbies than you do freinds, get hobbies, too.
And read some books so you can at least fake a personality

I've never heard this.
ever.
You sound insane.

Not really sure to be honest, the third place has been absolutely gutted and it's only going to get worse.
I could throw out a dozen suggestions on how to meet people and I'm confident that it would be guaranteed to work....if you did this back in 2008, but now I'm not even sure if it would give you any results now

You must be extremely sheltered or well off enough since that will force females in your orbit to at least somewhat hide or pretend to tolerate non blacks. Every interview on every social media says other wise to what you've said
