I try to do a lot of volunteer work now and am considering taking cooking or dance group lessons. People have emerged from their shells finally after Covid and these show a lot more promise.
Either of those could be productive but I'd encourage cooking lessons more. Here's why. It is improving yourself learning a new skill that you will use for the rest of your life and if you end up really liking it and cooking for other people who enjoy food, that is a real ice breaker. And it doesn't have to be fancy or overly complicated, just flavorful.
A man that prepares a meal, a good one, for a woman is impressive to them. (And cheaper than taking them to a fancy restaurant.) Following a recipe is not hard to do. But having the right ingredients and spices takes planning.
Thumbs up for such a plan and good luck. Cooking can be a reward within itself.

There are no more good English singing dancing bars in America.

Had lunch with some friends yesterday I hadn't seen in a while. One of my girl friends is 34 and she's been on the apps for 3-4 years now with little luck. Has a boyfriend for first time in a while. He's also 34.
She tried the Facebook Dating app (which I didn't know was a thing) and said it's the best one out there. I guess it's newer and she said they haven't jacked the algos up yet. She explained it from POV that the other apps either gave her 10s or 1s and FB actually showed her real people in her window.
Putting it out there as a potential avenue to pursue for those of you who need to fish in new waters.

Well, that's certainly a valid point.
If you like to travel, maybe check into group travel trips. I almost did this right before I met my girlfriend. Seemed like a lot of fun and easy way to meet people.
Personally, I blame line dancing.
When people at the dance halls didn't have to go out on a limb and ask someone else to dance, I knew things were going downhill. Yeah, I know we no longer live in a world of two-stepping and George Strait and that wasn't everyone's world to begin with, but it was indicative of the trend.

The bi-monthly thread complaining about how only hot guys can get laid has re-appeared right on schedule. Obviously, an environment like online dating apps will strongly favor good looking guys. But if you go out to a bar, restaurant, concert or any other social venue you can meet women. There are so many things a man can do, short of growing taller, that will vastly enhance his chances of landing a woman that is similar to him in looks.

Church is the absolute worst.
The girls and women would only look for the "perfect" men because they have been raised under the delusion that God had already selected their husband and he will be "perfect for her." Often they'll use the stupid phrase "waiting for my Boaz" which really meant waiting for a rich guy. If I had a $ for every time I heard that, I'd be Boaz.
Also, if you ask a woman out at church, and she turns you down, you're done at that church when it comes to meeting someone. They all talk, and they all know you asked her out. Ask out another one a year later, and she'll remember and take offense to it because it means you see her as "second best."
Ok but if you look at her other posts it's clear she's yet another of those who cry: "I WANT A MAAAAAN!" "NO NOT YOU!" pic.twitter.com/yye2860PsN

This woman is exactly what happens to most men who try to speak to women in church.
The women in church all want Chad Thundercock just like every secular woman. The only difference is they want Chad to be devoutly religious too. Every other aspect of his personality would be the same as the secular version.

Hit the gym for 6 months, get a good haircut, teeth whitened and fresh clothes (it's unbelievable how much this matters to women). Do that and act with some confidence and humor and you'll be just fine unless you're some kind of troll.

Meh do those things because you want to do them not to attract some bimbo.
It boils down to the fact she wasn't attracted to the guy. This is no different than the workplace sexual harassment hysteria of the 90s. Back then two different men could walk up to a female co-workers desk and chat them up and ask the out for drinks. The tall handsome guy makes the girl blush and she agrees to meet him up for drinks after work and she giddily tells all of her co-worker friends. The second guy is 5'6" tall with a receding hairline and he does the exact same thing as the first guy and he is immediately labeled a creep that won't leave her alone and she complains to all her co-worker friends about him.

I look at line dancing a little different: mostly single women, wanting to have fun, displaying themselves for someone to select (plus a couple of friend zone dudes).
I miss those establishments too! Used to work at the THOF in college. I don't know where kids nowadays go to dance and meet people. Fortunately, my kids found their spouses but when I see these threads I wonder how people get to meet each other. Back in the day, you could ask a girl to dance and it wasn't it a big deal. If you danced several times then it might lead to something. Plus you were usually surrounded by friends in the same boat. I don't know when or where it got so complicated.
I'm thankful for a solid marriage, I can't imagine having to start again at this age and time.
In his tweet, he says this.
Maybe at one time that is how it was, but today, the guy better back off and fast. Women have all the power to ruin a man's life if he keeps pursuing her after she turned him down. Besides, women generally tell men in no uncertain terms to **** off. It is almost never, "no thanks" anymore.

Third, I've said this many times, but the first time I expressed my feelings to my wife, I was rejected. So while rejection means that you should stop pursuing for now, it doesn't mean it's over. It may not be over for this guy she's talking about.

Truth. How I met my wife. Asked her to dance.
I have always maintained the line dance is the fat girls dance...

100% chance the girl asked for her number at church is also a flaming lib. If being asked out is giving your crippling anxiety then YOU are the problem and why you are still single. The act of attending church does not make you a good person.

Get into sailing. A lot of ladies enjoy it and take lessons then join a sailing club. If you already sail, consider becoming an instructor. I spend the winter sailing the Caribbean and I've seen two boats this year that were all women, captain & crew.
I also see more women than men hiking in Colorado. Sometimes there are 10-15 on a hike together. Very inexpensive date and you easily spend a couple hours getting to know someone.

Well, it's a competitive environment and if you're not a naturally hot guy you'll need to work for it. That's been the dynamic since way before dating apps.

A lot of "church ladies"…especially in the 30yo+ range spent their 20's getting run through by Chad. Once they decided they wanted to quit the party life, settle down and have children they magically "found God". Jesus may forgive them but the Devil's in the details of their past, along with the associated trauma and baggage.

It isn't just the women filtering for 6' well built handsome men with salaries over $150 k a year that caused him to give up. His preferred dating age range was 38-50 and he was shocked at how many emotionally unbalanced women he encountered. He told me some crazy stories.
It was almost the same in the late 90's/ early 2000s dating women in their 20s. Now they are all grown up in the 38 to 50 yr old range with even more baggage and more unbalance.
I swear every chick I dated back then had had at least 1 abortion, or had a kid already, and had at least 1 abusive ex they were still hung up on that treated them like dirt for years. And, seemed like they all came from crazy broken homes. I felt like when I met my wife who was like a church girl with good morals and values and a great personality and family it was a miracle, like she was a unicorn.

Not married again but same story for me. All I will say is, if anyone gets married after 40, you better have an iron clad pre-nup so she doesn't take half your **** just because she has a bad day.
LOL, women sign those today?

IDK, pursuing a woman at church seems a little creepy to me. IMO, church women are easy but you don't pursue them, they will pursue you.
It takes time though, you can't show up at a new church and begin pursuing women within a couple of weeks. You have to let things perculate a little. Find her mother and get in her good graces first. Next thing you know, mom will invite you over for Sunday dinner because she wants to fix you up with her daughter. That's a win win for me.

Strategy!!
Borrow your infant nephew. Carry him lovingly into a crowded bar. Be prepared to be mobbed.
All of us married guys over 45 that have never used dating apps should take a challenge. With our wives permission, we should have a contest to see who can get the most dates on one of these apps and check out the **** show for ourselves.
