I don't think I've ever met someone organically and then dated them

    They say workplace relationships don't work and they're probably right, but the problem is that's the only place you ever meet anyone these days.

    When you befriend the people at your workplace, you will also meet their friends.

    meeting women is really easy if you're friends with women. they always have single friends who they'd be happy to introduce you to. obviously don't be friends with women just for this purpose though

    It feels Machiavellian to do something like befriending people or playing sports that I would not otherwise do

    That only works out if you are attractive to begin with.

    Most people have good qualities that make them attractive (if you have none then that might be something to work on). Just treat women like they are ordinary human beings (which they are) - ask questions, listen to the answers, check back with them at a later date to see if that thing they mentioned worked out, offer to help if they have a problem, etc.

    Most men can drastically improve their appearance with some effort. Best plan for this is to ask your closest female friends what you can do. Also, having an attractive personality counts for a lot (potentially more than looks depending on the woman) assuming you aren't fuck ugly.

    Welp, I am simply at another level of ugliness. Also friends? What is this thing called "a friend"?

    If you want, send me a pic (privately) and I'll tell you if it's really over or what you can do to look better. As for friends, that's more complicated, but I got all my friends by talking to strangers in public.

    Yeah I think that's common, but it's literally how we've been doing it since, well, forever.

    Big Tech wants you to think it's scAAaRRrry BooOoOOo!

    (I mean, tbf, sometimes it is. Also humiliating lol).
