with women I find attractive?

I've been hooking up, dating and in relationships with women I find attractive for a long time. But only rarely has any of that started from a friendship.

I'm tired of the dating app rat race and hoping to come across an interesting woman in a bar.

My group of friends are mostly married, and our parities tend not to include new people. I work from home and my coworkers are mostly email addresses. I'm trying to drink less and I hate spending money on overpriced drinks at bars.

How do I go about finding female friends?
