Are there any real alternatives to dating apps?

People say that those who are "normal" meet up in bars or conventions IRL, but imagining a woman going there completely alone and being open to cold-approach sounds silly.

I only go to bars with friends. At least here in Germany everyone will give you weird looks if you do solo activities :/ and cold approaching is apparently nowadays seen as weird, I think most people meet their partners in hobbies like dancing or some other club after uni/work
Ill probably eventually just crack and make a dating profile and try my luck..

How do you even meet women there?
Again, just cold-approach?,

Well its not a cold approach if youre both in the same club. You get to know each other while still being kind of distant, in that non-friendszone area where you can very well shoot your shot and ask for a date or sth I suppose. Ive never tried but thats how most of my friends got their gfs

>Are there any real alternatives to dating apps?
Language exchange sites. But you have to actually care about learning the language(s). Meeting someone is just a lucky thing that could happen. If you try to use language exchange sites AS a dating app it's sketchy and you will probably get a negative response.

Good friendcircle.
My friends got a lot of girlfriends through other friends.

Yea, it's called church, and it's the only place you'll meet a respectable woman these days.

No. A lot of people don't get that the vast majority of relationships these days (over 90%) start as casual sex. a guy messages a random girl on instagram or facebook or whatever something like "down to fuck?" they meet up, fuck, and if the experience was good they will continue to meet up for some time. once the woman has established that the guy has a good dick, is good at fucking, doesn't cum too fast or too slow, etc, then they will decide to become "exclusive" and start doing regular couple things together. if you're not good looking enough to have casual sex then you're not good looking enough to get into a relationship either.

>respectable women
Nah, the younger ones just party all week and "get redeemed" every Sunday. While the older ones bring their kids and try to find a guy to settle down with.
>hurr you can't call me a hypocrite, church isn't for good people, its for damaged people who need salvation!

Get on Hinge if you don't have friends to help you meet people. I met my GF on there.

Zoomers are so pathetic. They do everything backwards because they have no self esteem. It's uncool to be eager so they play these weird games with each other and beat around the bush so they don't lose their upper hand. It's sad but also funny, they deserve it because they don't have the courage to just court like normal human beings. So they end up in situationships and get STDs

100% depends on the denomination and location.

Is this really how things are? I hate the idea of casual sex. Is it over?

>>are there any real alternatives to dating apps?
Kind of.

The big thing you have to keep in mind is that dating was never meant to be this thing you just go out and 'do'. we were told to wait until our 30s to settle down, but we were also told that it is extremely hard for people in their 30s to really find each other, and even in your 20s your options decrease each year, especially after the pandemic.


The key here is to not get lost in the idea that there is some singular location / place where women of great value who are naturally attracted to you in particular are just waiting around for a man to talk to. You can go to church, you can go to a cooking class, you can go to parties, but you will likely go home most nights without finding anyone in particular of interest, and then write off the entire idea as an impossible way to meet 'women'.

We have this mindset that we need ways to meet 'women' in this very plural sense, because we feel like our only hope is this huge smorgasbord of people we can sort through the way we can on a dating app. I remember going to a small school where there were only about 100 students in each grade. So only about 50 girls. It was an extremely diverse place too, so anyone having a natural racial preference has a lot of exclusion and such. Point is, that sitting down and swiping left or right on all those girls would have led to almost all lefts, and a few swipes for hotties who would never talk to me.

but by sitting through class, somehow me and a lot of other guys end up finding one girl in particular who we didn't think of as hot, yet suddenly is our girlfriend who is the most beautiful in the world.

the point is that it takes a lot of just going out and living and actively trying to get to go know people. If you are ACTUALLY SOCIAL you will eventually find that people are 'introducing' you to someone else they know.

>KYS
bro you can't read four paragraphs in a thread looking for advice, KYS is the only possible advice someone could give you that you'd read to the end.

Technically it was six paragraphs.

No, it wasn't. That isn't what technically means.

Paragraphs aren't defined by length, tard. "Kind of" was one paragraph. And then you had five additional ones below it.

Thanks for sharing. Still not what technically means, retard.

terrible advice. if you do this you'll only meet two or three new girls a year and chance are they will be taken or not attracted to you. so you could spend years doing this and see no results. this is why everyone uses dating apps or social media to meet girls, it exposes you to more potential partners.

Damn nigga, you don't know what the word technically or paragraph means. U stoopid

Kill yourself you retard fag.
