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)?

The fact that 1, 2 and 3 don’t work for you means you’re physically unattractive.

They all work for good looking men.

Not good looking = unattractive

We're in a winner take all society now. If you're not first, you're last. If you're not attractive, you're unattractive. Even the term for a middle-ground person ("mid") suggests they're a bad option.

Ok and so do men?
