Things I don't want: Overly religious, overly conservative, doesn't like kids or animals, not affectionate, high strung or high maintenance

From there, start to think of where she would be (and if she suits you, then many of these places should appeal to you also). Try and think of places where you would see someone regularly. So you can say hi & smile a few time, and then one day a conversation will be natural.
I already do lots of things related to my interests - I go to trance concerts, sporting events, sports bars, night clubs, gyms, etc.... which is all great but I'm not really having much luck in dating

Cold approaches aren't very natural & they seem to be a number's game. If you want someone suited to you that you actually like, then a more strategic approach.
I can usually find a woman who I know will be my type just based on how they look and how they carry themselves. You can tell a lot about somebody with that alone

No, please elaborate. I honestly don't understand what you're talking about

I don't understand. I met 5 new people yesterday as I went out with a former co worker. I'm going to the birthday party of one of my college best friends next Saturday where I will probably meet a bunch of people as well...and I'm pretty certain that none of them will be attractive single women (just based on my luck)

If you are as annoying and whiny in person as you are in this thread, it's no wonder you are having problems.

You too are already displaying what is known as a self-fulfilling prophecy.

A self-fulfilling prophecy is a prediction that directly or indirectly causes itself to become true, by the very terms of the prophecy itself, due to positive feedback between belief and behavior.

Self-fulfilling prophecy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If I post this one more time today I'll scream.

LOL I know what a self fullfilling prophecy is. Why not just say it from the beginning?

Sounds like you have it all figured out then OP. Don't know what you're making a thread about it for.
Yes, it's possible to date outside traditional means. There's your answer. Go cold approach.

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

Oh - so you just have bad luck? In that case, there's really nothing you can do.

I've had terrible luck recently in regards to meeting women in my day to day activities


I used to meet women a decent amount back when I was a few years younger

My point was along the same lines as self fulfilling prophecies.
