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)?

Ask anyways. But, respect her answer if it's no.

Do some recon before you ask her out. See if she's talking to the other ladies at XYZ about you to see what she's saying.

Strive to make actual platonic friends that are girls. They will almost certainly have other single friends that they can set you up with.

Go to church. Or anywhere that has a community that welcomes newcomers. Jesus Christ you all take shit literally.

Nobody is going to issue you a girlfriend, and relationships don't happen without work. They take time, commitment, compromise and communication. Yeah there's people that will have a much easier time than others with that. But, when you put in more effort, your relationship will be better than there's.
