My point was along the same lines as self fulfilling prophecies.
I actually go out actively looking to meet people and hopefully meet a nice girl. I dont know how self fulfilling prophecy applied here. I dont sit in corner like a loner and do nothing

Haven't you ever heard the expression 'It's when you aren't looking is when you find it?"
You are putting so much pressure on the 'going out' to meet people and should be looking in ways of your everyday life.

I dont get it. U guys are saying that im both not trying hard enough and that im trying too hard. Which is it?
When I say that Im actively meeting people, I mean that I am very outgoing when I go to these places and i talk to everybody
I used to meet women a decent amount back when I was a few years younger
You must be too old now, then.
It can take people years to meet someone they have much in common with and feel attracted to. You post threads every couple of months. And the one girl your friends did set you up with, you dumped for being a little overweight. I wonder how your friends felt about that.
I never said I have everything figured out. I just don't understand the people saying that if I just keep socializing at every opportunity in various environments with new people, I will magically meet the girl of my dreams. I already do that and obviously it's not working out
I need a more concrete approach than just hoping the next gathering I go to will have a bunch of beautiful women desperate for a man to sweep them off their feet
There was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more than that to my advice & that of others. There were a lot of great ideas you have not acknowledged.
You seem to only focus on what you can shoot down. This shows a mindset of not seeing where potential lies & pursuing it, only seeing what could go wrong.
Your attitude is also not kind & grateful to people who have taken time & energy to offer you suggestions. With a few responses, you have left a bad taste in my mouth. I'm sure you're not "magically" meeting anyone because it's not magical; it requires a good attitude & being open.
I see people saying this online, yet in real life, nearly every guy I know met their GF at work/social circle (college if they are of that age). I wonder why this is?
Because some people don't mind the drama that could come with it, and can deal with being in the spotlight. However, for those who do not enjoy being the center of attention, dating via your social circle can be a bit dodgy.
