Hello!

I M(39) just devoured book Models by Mark Manson. It showed me a lot and areas I want to change. One of which is to start approaching girls cold vs the apps. Dating apps are a dumpster fire. I 've have lots of hook ups and flings but no one I really want to settle down with.

I have good positives on the dating scene:
I'm moderately good looking. I do martial arts, keep in shape, have a good job and home. I'm told I'm confident, funny, and can come across as a strong personality. I think I could do well on cold approaches with practice.
I would like expand the pool of quality girls I can approach. I find once I can actually get a girl sitting across from me, my personality can shine more.

In short: I'm looking for good places to meet single girls. What has everyone's experience been like? What works? Dance lessons? Coffee shops? Malls? Clubs? Bars?
