I hate when people make assumptions. I've already joined my own clubs I'm interested in.
Joined a young professionals group. There are 1-2 girls I'm sort of interested in, but I'm not sure if they and I feel strongly enough.
Joined a running group - Only one girl in my age group who has a boyfriend.
Joined a softball team. 4 girls total and was only attracted to one who has a boyfriend.
Joined crossfit in the past - Didn't really talk to or meet any girls. People didn't really seem to socialize much.
Jointed toastmasters in the past. It was all older people and there were no young single girls.
And "singles club" or dancing?? YOu have to be joking. There is no such thing as a singles club, and Meetups are lame with lame people. You have to be in your 50's or older.
Um.....define "lame" when it comes to Meetups. As a long time member of the site, I'd really like to knowyour stance
There are a ton of 20s and 30s Meetups where I live

*You have to be joking* .....there are lots of ways for people in their 30s & 40s to meet ....people meet all the time without having to be in a workplace relationship........................
Online...at the grocery store....through other friends......at the gym......taking a class......

You haven't met anyone yourself tho....so you're a bad example..........but there are people meeting online & at gyms & in classes all the time....................
A workplace relationship isn't necessary IMO.......& you said you couldn't meet anyone there anyways beause no women work with you.......shrugs....
Look when you are spending upwards of 10-12 hrs with someone who is available it's hard to not get into that groove. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. It is what it is. Unfortunately mine didn't work out but I don't regret it

This reads of nothing but self pity. You're either not making enough effort to socialize or you're not a very likable person, just my guess.
My husband and I go to comedy clubs, sporting events, karaoke bars, and staying as active as we can when we have the time. We're always meeting new people, some are in relationships and many are single.
Yes we're in our 50s but age has nothing to do with it. The more you go out and put forth the effort, the greater the chances you'll meet the right person.
The best relationships are started through the ways I mentioned, not through work or a website. Take my advice or leave it, it's your choice.

You're spot on. That poster is just throwing a pity party for himself.
I think people who fish in the company pond or wish they had relationships with co-workers aren't socially active enough outside of work, and they tend to be loners. There are many ways for singles to meet other singles besides on the job.

You would think. It'd be nice. Everywhere I go, esp. during these festivals in the holidays, is just rug rats with mommy and daddy. If they don't have kids, it's just couples. Most everywhere I go, it's tons of families. Chances are this guy you're talking about is not seeking a pity party, but what he's actually experiencing.
People typically stay to themselves, meaning if they don't know you from a hole in the ground they'd not want to get to know you. You know...with the stranger danger and all that. When you're older, making friends in general is hard. I've seen women in dating profiles that say, "WEll, all my friends are married, so I'm the only one left as they are busy with their family lives now!"
There's a consensus, in 2019, that online dating has become the new normal. So a lot of those singles are just hopping online on a Saturday night with a glass of wine, browsing the dating profiles. lol

A lot of that is the obsession with smart phones and social media.
Many people these days are buried in their phones and don't bother to look away from their screens to realize there are people to meet and places to see in the real world.
