OP, I think you need to realize there is no DEFINITE solution or guarantee in how to meet women. For every person that says meetup. com is a great place to meet women, there are three others that would disagree. Some people swear Online dating is the worse vehicle to meet women, yet there are men and women who meet on dating sites and get married all the time. There isn't one thing that works for EVERYBODY, if there were, there wouldn't be so many avenues to meet people. No harm in trying each and everything and giving it a true shot, instead of looking for a sure thing that works for everyone, because there is no such thing.

I am going to look at it as a fun experience but there's gotta be at least some chance that I will meet a girl somewhere along the line. If there is no chance and it's only really for making friends, then I wouldn't be really be interested because I'm not benefitting in any real way (I already have enough friends)

Then why aren't you taking advantage of your existing friend networks to get out there and meet more people? The more people you know, the wider your circle is, the greater the likelihood that you'll meet someone (who's a friend of a friend of a friend, etc.)

He has answered this question numerous times as his persona brahmabull and every other banned username he's had. His friends REFUSE to introduce him to their female friends. What does that tell you?

I have been trying this for many years with no real luck. There has been times where I was introduced to single girls but I couldn't make anything happen

You are better off doing subjective groups like "arts" and "food" which actually attract normal people.
Duchamp, had to rep you. Cesspool is an accurate word for sure! I had to take down my picture, change my name and unsubscribe from the dating meetup's as well. I'm still cautious to attend any meetup groups, my experiences have been so terrible.

It's not luck, it's you. The same personality trait that brings you back here again and again with new usernames, posting the same old complaints and pathologies and then gets you banned is what sends women running in the opposite direction.

I'm sorry, it is plain to everyone here who "knows" you.
