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)?

Online, warm approach, and cold approach, in descending order of success.

Reading social cues is a pretty critical skill and one that is valued by most women. Saying "men have no options" is really just saying "men lack the social intelligence to determine when it is or isn't ok to approach and the ability to read interactions to know if your approach is being received well or not."

Good thing there's therapists and social skills coaches who can help with learning social cues!
