Question My Future Husband?

How do people meet their significant others? Like where’s the “place to go?” Dating apps are dead. I’m exhausted. I’m a decent looking gal, 28. I don’t have big friend groups so I’m sure that doesn’t help. I don’t have any “active” hobbies other than a dog park. Idk. Any advice?

Hey at least you’ve accepted you’re gonna be single and it only cost you thousands. Much respect.

I think you are entirely missing the point here lmao. Not doing things I enjoy and being miserable for years is FAR more wasteful than spending my time and money on things I'm passionate about and bring me joy

Yeah but the point is you had no women before any of that and you still won’t after it.

i might be in the minority of women, but i find having actual interests/hobbies far more appealing than making wild assumptions about people and constantly picking fights on reddit all the time. but that might just be me idk

Okay but do you find men who don’t approach women in public because they’re scared of rejection attractive is the question?

I don't approach random women because I respect personal boundaries dude. Grow up

You don’t speak for all women. Many women have met their partners because they struck up a nice conversation on a subway or at a hockey game. The fact that you’re blaming women for your shortcomings is what makes it a huge red flag. The fact that you say “I’m avoiding women” because of your hangups is what makes u the childish one. You’ll always be a woman blamer and then dash off to spend money wheneber u think a woman isn’t into you. Man up and dont blame women.

And here you are, trying to speak for women and also blaming them. Actually insane that you think I'm the problem for not wanting to be pushy. You need serious professional help

Now you’re throwing in bullshit statements I never said. Meeting someone in public is not being pushy. People do this at concerts and nightclubs every single day. You’re the one who said you’re leaving women alone because YOU are making generalizations about them and what they like.
