I just thought about this from my post in the FZ thread. Many women have stated that its good for men to stay friends with women who reject them because if he's a cool guy she'll "introduce you and set him up with her single female friends". Well I've always said this was garbage and not true. Generally speaking if a woman doesn't find you good enough to be a partner her friends aren't either.
In my life, I've known literally 2 guys who got into the relationship they did because of a female friend setting him up. None of my relationships ever formed from a female friend either. It just.doesnt.happen. So in order to destroy this myth i decided to ask the question to the females of this board.
Very simply, Ladies how many times in your life have you set up a male friend with a female friend and it turned into a relationship? Not even that, how many times have you introduced a male you rejected to a single female friend of yours period?
My guy friends try to set me up with their male friends/roommates all the time. I'll go out on a date, but don't want to be in a relationship with any of my male friends other male friends (bad news bears).
I did twice. The first one, they dated for a year. The second, they went out about 5 times, and did enjoy each other's company, but the hour distance between them was too much for them to handle.
A female friend of mine introduced me to my fiance.
Exactly zero, everyone I know did not want to be "set up" by friends. All of always found our own dates when we wanted to date or be in a relationship.

I have never introduced a male friend to a female friend with the intentions of them developing a romantic relationship. That's up to them to decide if there's chemistry/interest.
Not even that, how many times have you introduced a male you rejected to a single female friend of yours period?
I'm absolutely positive I introduced male friends, who at one point had an interest in me but the feelings weren't reciprocated, to female friends, but again it was never with the intentions of them developing a romantic relationship.
I know several people who met their SO's at weddings, because the bride and groom thought, "These two will get along well, let's sit them at the same table"
I've never done it officially though. I've casually invited single friends of both genders to bbq's or parties hoping they'll hit it off, but I'd be uncomfortable suggesting I knew what anyone was looking for dating wise.
Many times. Friends do this in social gatherings. (I'm tired of being single do you know anyone?)
