I'm not in school and I'm not interested in anyone at work. How do I even meet girls as a 25 year old male? In high school, things were so much easier and I never even took advantage. Now, it would be "creepy" if i tried to hang out there. I don't dance, and I really don't have a wingman to go to bars with. I guess I could go alone and sit at the bar like an old alcoholic, but I just don't really think that's a thing outside of lovely, old pubs where most of my fellow drinking comrades will be older, depressed men. The only place I regularly go outside of work is the gym, and I've never seen an opening there. Help me, GBS.

I have friends, they aren't really the bar-going types. Makes sense, neither am I.

I feel like it would get made fun of, society is telling everyone to be obsessed with size, even when most girls, deep down, are not. I'm probably slightly below average, but it's definitely a handsome cock.

Uhh the internet dude. Or do it old school and be a man about town doing things that make you seem attractive. Then you sack up and talk to one you like. I recommend complimenting their appearance and asking for a phone number.

I failed at Tinder, was rejected by nearly my entire zipcode and surrounding zipcodes. My pics were poor, but that wound is still too fresh to jump back in those waters. I guess I could go to a starbucks and act like I'm writing a novel. But that could become expensive, fancy coffee isn't cheap.

Well, your head is in the right place at least. I say have at it and if you don't find success then refer to Kuato's post.

I have ethics, man. I think the struggle is all too real in America to indulge in escort services. Women are drawn to that profession out of desperation, not desire. If I was in a progressive Euro country where new moms get 6 years paid off-work, I would be all about that stuff.

volunteering somewhere, especially in the arts, is a great way to get hella laid/find a gf/whatever you're after. especially if, like me, you're not a mincing theatre student like every other male in the place will be.

Having sex with strangers to fuel an addictive craving isn't desperation to you?

Find some activities that sound interesting to you on Meetup or whatever that have a social component and then do that for a while. Usually there are singles groups for different age ranges in most cities as well where you can hang out. Even if you don't make a connection with someone there, it gets you more comfortable in social situations and also means you come off as more interesting to women in general.

I dunno why you draw only that conclusion, but all I'm saying is the majority of it isn't sex trafficking or even worth a sob story. It's just girls that play to win.

If you got a girlfriend you know she'd make you buy her stuff right?

Anyways, I have a new idea. Sign a contract with the devil in blood.

I used to play pickup soccer with a group on meetup. Did not meet a lot of women, lot of foreign men though. I think I'm too niche of a person to join one of those new in town 20-30 groups. I cringe at the thought of hanging out with a crew of optimistic extroverts who had affluent parents and supportive peers growing up.

Because you didn't ask about how to make money, you asked how to meet girls. You don't meet girls at McDonalds
