This might be a dumb question... but uh... what are the alternatives in the modern US?

How do people meet nowadays? Like there are no 3rd places left, I dont want to pay to be in some overmonitized club or some shit. I am long out of school. Meeting people seems next to impossible nowadays.

This is where I'm at. Everyone has told me dating at work is a really bad idea. I don't drink so I have no interest in trying to pick up a girl at a bar. And in general I've seen so many girls say they don't like guys approaching them in public.

Like it feels like all that is left is these apps, but girls don't seem to want to meet on there either. It feels like I'm missing something critical here on how to meet a girl at my age and it's frustrating me to no end.

No point in feeling frustrated. Many women aren't ready to date or have interest in men strongly. Keep going and someone may or may not show up just keep living.
