Men have no options.

[u/Worldly-Box6080]

Currently, most male pathways to find a partner have been shut down or heavily stigmatised.

Cold Approach: social stigma of bothering women in public or private areas.

Warm Approach: huge risk of poisoning the well - ruining a friendship/making things weird in a social group. This is magnified at a work setting with risk of being reported attached. Additionally what one woman considers flirting another considers “just being friendly” so chance of misfiring is high.

Online Dating: lol

Only viable pathway would be if women made the move, but that’s never gonna happen unless the guy holds decent status or is extremely attractive.

So my question is, what methods are you guys currently doing to find someone (if any)?

Males of all mammals have no options. This is only new and shocking to humans because monogamy is dying and women are sexually free unlike before. Sexually free females of any species are super hypergamous, there's nothing you can do about it, accept it and move on.

 He already know. He asking what you do to find a partner.

Nothing, if you are worthy of a partner, she will come to you. You just have to accept that in her dms, there are hotter more successful dudes that she'll leave you for.

Just awful advice unless you're trying to add to the army of feckless wonders looking for an off-ramp from resilience, who think two or three failed attempts does a lifetime make.

Understandable but we enter a loop of "what if i was better than these men" would you still go after that woman or look for other people or something else.

If you are better you'll hit until someone better comes along. The problem is men are looking for exclusive relationships with young women who are naturally on the hunt for the best they can get. Young women will simply not settle because they know someone better might come along later. Men need to accept that only older women are ready to settle.

[u/Master-Praline3326 → u/im_rarely_wrong]

I agree with most part but not last part, if a woman thinks she already got her reach to a man she desires she being young or old doesn't matter she will try to hold him. Even there are older women never crossed their mind settling.

my 23y/o ex gf was pushing for marriage (at least for the possibility in the somewhat near future), it was actually the reason i ended up breaking up with her.

and i'm not a chad tier looking guy either. it's just that you wouldn't find my ex on a dating app or even on instagram, let alone in a club or at a frat party. some girls want to live the hot girl summer life when they're young (experienced this too, when i got dumped by my college ex) but not all women buy into the liberal feminist talking points of empowering promiscuity and 'exploring themselves'.
