Don't bother with online dating. First of all the quality of women is much lower than any you'd meet IRL. Secondly, they purposefully set absurdly high standards. Thirdly, if physical looks aren't your strong point, you cannot really make a good impression because that is what they are going to be judging you on. What you write in your profile is close to useless

If you have trouble finding women, move to a big city and start working on meeting people. It's pretty much a numbers game for men of average/below-average looks.

As someone who just moved to a big city and has been waiting for an excuse to ditch Tinder, what activities or events would you recommend to do to meet people?

Meetup.com always has interesting events.

Nope. Not everywhere.

It also varies a lot depending on what one considers interesting. In my own experience, 90% of meetup.com (like 90% of everything) is crap.

Occasionally, in a large metropolitan area with a large online presence, there's a bit of interest to be eked out of it for me, but mostly not.

Yea, none of this true. The best application of the numbers game is to message a dozen girls a day online, and it works.

It's absolutely a numbers game. Increase your exposure for best results.
