What actually works for you all for dating? I used to just meet people through friends. But my circle of friends is so small now that I never meet anyone that way. A whole bunch moved for school/work. Should I meet people through co-workers?
I met someone at a very specific conference for the field I have worked in for 12 years or so. In hindsight I should have been going to these things for years. I own one of the largest companies in a multi-billion-dollar market, yet I've never spent a second to communicate with anyone else who works in or is interested in the topic. I got the emails or numbers of four girls from the conference. One of them I am guessing is about 35. The other three are all 20. Two are not interested, but one of them is. She has good trad ideas and thinks the modern world is debauched. Very feminine.
I have spent a bit of time this year trying to dig out trad or trad-friendly women online. It would really be better to get a secretary for this. It's a lot of work for very flaky returns. I think part of the issue is that it's difficult to start any sort of connection online. And I think it's impossible for many women to put in any effort into these communications. I have found I can get a lot of numbers (outside of Western countries), but they don't put any effort in. It's a bit like talking to a brick wall. I can send on average 20 sentences and get back two with nothing to work with.
Beyond that, despite the bad situation with cities, there are lots of opportunities to meet people who are not connected to the degraded system. You could go on a week tour of different churches, and ask a question to anyone there, even grandma.
I also think, despite a lot of the correct red-pill analysis on women, there are a lot of women who are largely out of the mating paradigm due to certain traits. Quiet girls who like to read books. I spoke with one and she said guys approach her, but she's not interested in the type of guys who approach her.
In travelling, as few places I have found good for meeting people (not necessarily girls directly):
- health food shops (probably not in the West)
- double/quad bed train carriages in the FSU, maybe other places
- some churches
- shared accommodation
- meet ups (many listed on sites like Meetup)
- farmer's markets
- English language groups (I've been to an Orthodox one in Russia)
- vegan/vegetarian restaurants - you may think this odd, but in non-Western countries this is generally people who can think and they are quite different to Western countries; I just met a guy in one who is a vegan, but thinks one of the biggest problems in his home-country is divorce, and thinks the culture is degen... same with the health food shops. I met one owner who had three children and was worried about the microchip. In Serbia one old guy who owned one invited me back to his home. His main interest was football.
This is all outside of the west. I guess it will work in the West. But it's going to be more degraded. And I wouldn't even think of health food shops and vegan restaurants in the West.
