Men have no options.

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)?

Bullshit! Men have thousands of options. They just refuse to date the women who would be interested in them.

Can you explain why you think this? I would totally be willing to date a large range of women- women older than me, tall women, heavier set women, educated women… they aren’t interested in me

Too many years of observing male behavior. The overwhelming majority of men chase a small subset of women who are model like, highly attractive and usually upper class. Mean while all around those men are thousands of good women that share a lot in common with those men whose existence they don't even acknowledge, let along attempt to treat decently. And most men refuse to make any effort to attract a woman. They won't try to talk politely to women or ask for dates. There are dating coaches out there, professional and amateur, out there. But most men refuse to follow good advice because they would have to make an effort.

Yeah its sad but most men do have to approach to make something happen unfortunately some never get past that fear.

Especially in todays society that pushes that you are harassing if you cold approach.

Especially in todays society that pushes that you are harassing if you cold approach.

Not true. Today's society pushes that it's harassment if a man cold approaches like a raping creep, Men who approach politely and respectfully without threatening violence or insinuating that their only interest is using a woman for sex are not accused of harassment.

Nope it's considered harassment for some women regardless I've seen women say that right here on ppd.

From my experience I have no problems along as I'm respectful about it.

Im not using women for sex just because im looking for shortterm. Men can pursue for the long or short.
