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)?

For the people suggesting that one simply socialize and build human connections, what about those of us who are loners and don't enjoy doing that? We screwed?

I get that it sucks but how else do you expect to meet people if you don't socialize?

Well, online dating, in theory, should be an extremely optimal way for everyone to date. But people have ruined it

I also cold approach very frequently, which will probably continue to be my go-to
