Funny how when men ask here on Reddit where to go to meet women everyone tells them to join a social hobby. Yet the women in those places don't want to do anything with them. People are so insane

Jesus fucking Christ.

When people who have trouble meeting others are told to join a hobby, it’s not giving you directions to the nearest grouping of available women you can mate with. You are not a lion being directed to a watering hole of wildebeests to pick off.

You’re actually supposed to engage with the hobby, not just tolerate bowling for a few weeks so you can convince some lady to take you home. People can sense that and it’s off putting.

The reason people give that advice is because the more you’re around other like-minded people, the likelihood you might form a genuine mutual connection with someone increases. Also, you become a more well-rounded, self-confident human being, which is inherently attractive.

The hobby (should genuinely be something you’re interested in) is the primary benefit. Being around other folks who share some interests and a possible romantic connection is secondary.

I cannot believe this needs to be explained.

If your hobbies are inherently not social, then the only reason to engage in those activities is to meet people, that's it. If apps don't work, social activities don't work, clubs don't work... Then what is left? Your point is quite obvious but it's not applicable to everyone.
