Where ever they want to. they don't need to stack the deck(going to places where they are more likely to find single people), single people seek them out.

Problem is that in those places not ALL of the people are single, so there is alot of wasted time barking up wrong tree's.

LOL. You moon-walked back from your original post.

In NYC, meet-ups are a great way to find a date.

So you’ll only ever find unattractive people at places/events where single people go to meet other single people because attractive people don’t need to go there. But if you try to meet people at non-singles events, you’ll have to deal with the fact that they might not actually be single, so that’s not good either. Got it.

No there isn't. They'll be out being social, forming a social group, that has huge benefits. Most people I dated in my 20s were people I met at parties (being social) or through hanging with people I knew (being social) and I developed many life long friendships along the way. In addition, non single people do become single at some point more often than not.

Finding people to date is not a hunter stalking prey. It's forming a social connection.

Nope it's forming a romantic connection, you see not everyone values platonic connections, many people don't value romantic connections either, some of us value one and not the other.


I find romantic connections blissful(while they are going well), platonic connections emotionally&mentally exhausting from beginning to end.



You obviously get something out of said "life long friendships" I don't, and while I do have friends they are not people I hang out with on a regular basis.
