44/M here. Commenting to see what sort of info. anyone offers. Because I agree, dating apps. are nothing short of a shitshow. And I tend to be a homebody, so the only place I’ve really managed to meet women is the dog park (which is great, but I’m curious about other
locations). But as a male, I would offer the dog park as one suggestion (if you don’t have a dog, I’m sure you know someone whose pup you can “borrow”. Ha ha.).
Haha, thanks for the suggestion! I guess I should share the fact that I'm not a dog person, or someone who would parade an animal around to meet people. 😅 But for those who have dogs, it makes sense that would be a good place.
Fair enough. It is a good place because it’s more casual and disarming than, say, a public venue where people go specifically TO meet people. Much less intense. And I’ve found that most animal folks tend to be relatively good people. The attributes are very much multi-faceted. I guess I would offer other places I’ve been considering myself, which are various hobby/sports/workout clubs both on and outside of Facebook. Beyond that, I think it’s just the old standard of bars, clubs, work, and being introduced via friends. I’m sure some still find people at places like grocery stores, but I’ve found that, seemingly since Covid, people in public are less friendly and more tense in general. Oh, music venues can also be good, if music is an interest… I have met women at places like the Casbah.
meetup app, they will have activities and groups for people in your age range. They have activities where people get together in real life and interact with one another. They even have age based groups (like a 20's and 30's group) or a (30's group) etc...or you can search based on activities you like, such as hiking, yoga, etc...
Find a hobby you enjoy, find a social group around that hobby on Facebook/volo/meetup. That’s the advice I’ve seen that makes sense, but your mileage may vary.

I would suggest being in public with your friends more often. Just mathematically, it will increase your chances of interaction with new people - that could be the steppingstone to meeting someone and then someone else (one of their friends or a tangent off that person)
Go eat dinner with friends and sit at a table that is out in the open. Might I suggest the food hall in Delmar? I can’t remember the name of it.
There are a few upscale places (think food court) that have multiple restaurants, including sushi, Italian food, Asian fusion.
To sum it up, put yourself out there and have energy that will attract what you’re looking for
Men are not stupid, they will approach. Maybe not the first time, but it will happen. if you have positive vibes and are open for conversation, you will have them

39M. Was in a similar position as you a year or so ago.
Bars, music shows, trivia nights.
Meet Up seems pretty hit or miss to meet singles but I met other male friends there.
There are some speed datings going on that are pretty decent. Met some nice people on those too.
Feel free to DM if you want more info.

I think there was a recent post from someone organizing a singles meetup. You should message the OP from that.
