So I've been gone from the dating scene for awhile. I used to meet a lot of women off of Myspace back in the day. I do miss how easy and covert Myspace dating was. You could search location, and specifications on what girl you are seeking. No other app has ever come close to Myspace dating from my experience. How are you all meeting women nowadays? Instragram? Tinder? POF? Or what is good?
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

People swear by instagram. I wouldn't know. In my honest opinion, nothing was easier than myspace, (hell even Xanga!), except perhaps the original okcupid or POF. Most of what I did was inner circle and cold approach. I also did the 'nono' thing and dated/hooked up with coworkers often.
I'd say now that cold approach wins. I just have a few things I enjoy that can be done in public and it's relatively easy to ask someone to come along when I'm going to do one. A few of my military buddies swear up and down that 'fetlife' is the way to go. I've only used it once to get with a few ladies and wished I hadn't. Still an experience though! I wouldn't recommend it for anything other than fwb.
BTW, tinder and pof are both trash.

Its been 2years since I was dating random women. It was pretty much Hinge and Bumble for me. POF turned into garbage a long time ago, Tinder isn't far behind. I did talk to a few on facebook dating. My best success happened in bars from dancing and going to concerts.

"Awhile" indeed... As to your question:
You can meet women pretty much anywhere. Obviously, the quality of one's potential acquisitions increases sharply, once you move beyond dive bars and the DMV waiting room, get into activities like yoga, ballroom dancing, art history, etc etc

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
