I’m literally advocating being open minded as to where one can find relationships.

You are, of course, free to rule out the work place, that’s entirely your prerogative, and you may have particular reasons for doing so. But keep in mind that most people spend an obscene amount of time at work, thus one might be cutting off a good source of potential relationships.

Not to mention, the basis of most relationships is that of commonality and shared interests, thus where you work is something you will have in common.


You just said it yourself: most people spend an obscene amount of time at work, and thus around their coworkers, as it is.

For me, that's enough. I don't also want to turn them into my personal friends.

Furthermore, I hate the way coworkers start acting towards me at work if I become particularly friendly with them outside of work. Expecting you to be cool with stupid chit from them at work just because you've agreed to be more than work pals, stuff getting awkard at work if anything goes south in your personal life because you've made your work life into your personal life, etc.

That's just me. People can do whatever they want, and I don't care what they do. I have my reasons for feeling the way I do about it, and I care even less about what other people think of that.

Work on yourself, first. Everything. Be the best version of yourself you can be. Workout, get a decent quality haircut every other week, upgrade your wardrobe if need be. Anyone who says those things aren't important is a dumbass. With all of that comes more self confidence. More women will be attracted, but this will also impact the "bros" in your life. People gravitate toward like-minded people. You don't see slobs that work at Gamestop hanging out with shredded investment bankers. A great example of this is fraternities in college. You had to fit a mold to get in. It's not written anywhere, but the top houses had nothing but young athletic white guys usually with family money. Same as the sororities, young attractive white females. You'd be shocked at some of the families they come from. What doors open from simply fitting the mold. It's not about being fake. It's about competence. Competent people want competent people around them.

That all applies to life outside of college as well. You gotta fit the mold to get into certain social circles. And that all comes back full circle. Your chances are exponentially better when you got your **** together.

Talk to people everywhere you go and do **** you like?

I like live sports, golfing, working out. You can meet new people every time you do something if you want. Just gotta be someone people want in their lives.

In my 20s, I did meetup.com and I found out about a reddit meetup. We had a huge reddit meetup in Phoenix and we all got along so we decided we would meet every second saturday of the month at this really cool bar. Most of my friends are from reddit meetups. I've met all sorts of people doing reddit meetups, lot of good connections.

Also you should see if your state has a hash house harriers group, hashing is a running and drinking game invented by the military way back in the day, they meet at a new bar every week and they setup a chalk trail around the area of the bar and you follow the chalk trail, at halfway point (usually a park nearby the bar) we have coolers of beer. At the end of the hash, we end up back at the bar and we have food and beer for everyone. If you are hashing for the first time, its free. After that, you pay 5-7 dollars per hash (to fund the food and beer).

I know about hashing from redditors, they kinda merged into this super hashing group where we have over 100 people every monday meet at a random bar and we go running and drinking. Also, I want to say, these guys are very sexual. On the chalk trail, there are stop points, where girls gotta flash there boobs for them to continue, or guys flash there dicks. Lol. They are very cool people in my opinion. It's worth looking into hash house harriers for your state.

My mind is just blown that no matter where I go people are just on their screens. There's no connection anywhere anymore. Are we just supposed to sit here and rot the rest of our lives?

I like hashing a lot because I got to know almost every bar in Phoenix because of it. I know the best bars in town because of it. And I've run through countless neighborhoods in my city. I know the city really well because of hashing. We are a lot of fun. And they do it in almost every state. Once you've hashed for awhile, they will give you a hash name, everyone will refer to you as this name and not use your real name. This helps with privacy of our shenanigans on platforms like face book. We post crazy stories and we all use code names. It's a really groovy thing really.

They tend to appear out of nowhere when you stop caring, and instead focus on making money, doing your career if you are still young and pursuing it, or your business, and of course make sure you got 6 pack abs year round and lift weights, and don’t dress like a retard, and of course you can’t drive a Toyota or something retarded like that, basically respect yourself, be good looking but stop chasing or worrying about them bitches, they tend to just pop up then.

EOD why don't you look into hashing? You saw the pictures I posted. It looks like we are fun, doesn't it? They have hashing in every state almost. You should take my advice and go to reddit meetups imo. Best chance to get with a cute nerdy reddit girl too.
You are your thoughts. Life is perception, thoughts are perception, perception is reality ergo thoughts are reality, I think therefore I am.

you're forgetting that most people are not competent enough to succeed - not in the way you outlined.

Everything went digital. It's been like 7-8 years since i've had any kind of traditional interaction with anyone that didn't involve a phone or screen coming out within a minute or something. I have basically given up. Idk what we're supposed to do.

It's really not that tough. Become a regular at a specific bar, and join some groups which involve people around your same age and energy and go from there.

Women are always on social media, online dating apps or playing games on their phone. Dudes are always on twitter, tik tok or youtube watching shorts. I can't talk to anyone lol.
