I used to be the good looking really muscular guy with a fairly large social circle. Girls often used to approach me and meeting women at the gym was always possible -- this was where I would have met my future wife.

I got in a car wreck five years ago and it messed me up pretty bad. You couldn't tell there was anything wrong with me now (I can walk and appear fine), but I did lose all of my old friends, my size, etc due to this injury which I still deal with.

I've moved now to a new area; I have a nice apartment. I have no friends, and my real passion - lifting weights - I can no longer do. I'm naturally introverted, I never became a personal trainer so I now work from home by myself (eccommerce, blogging and such), I'm often dealing with pain or brain fog on a daily basis, and of course, I'm rather depressed.

I do have a good looking face, I'm shit at small talk, but very good at talking with girls one on one once the ball gets rolling. Anyway, when it comes to the weekday, weekends, weekday nights, and weekend nights I have literally no idea where to go.

I just really don't have the energy for soloing night clubs like I used to, and they've never been a particularly good place to meet quality women. And without a social circle, or work environment, I'm at a loss of how to meet women/get a quality gf.

I can no longer do anything athletic, and my hobbies are mostly reading about nutrition science, physics documentaries, watching good movies, or boring internet business stuff I just do to make money.

Online dating to me is a crap shoot: The power dynamic for online dating is hugely in favor of women. Being in my current situation as well as naturally introverted, I simply cannot convey the necessary requirements (social status, travel photos, friends, energy levels, etc...aka a dynamic interesting lifestyle) in my photos and profile to enter the level of elite. Which is required to really excel here as a male. I've noticed even the introverted, awkward and shy girls seem to have either unrealistically high standards or are getting so much attention from so many different men, that they simply don't have the patience to deal with anyone who isn't immediately displaying the aforementioned.

I will say I'm getting some success from online dating, but I don't see this being the way to go.

I've looked into local meetup.com groups, but these are somewhat scarce and unpopular in my city and seem to be dominated by middle aged married women.

I've jotted down some places where women would go (art galleries, coffee shops, cafes, zoo, museums, flea markets, etc) but I'd feel out of place going here just to attempt to pickup women, and the novelty of being there just to check the place out would fade after the first visit.

Daygame in retail stores, malls, streets is an option, but it was so much easier to creep women when they automatically found you attractive. Majority are running errands and don't like to be interrupted unless its by someone they are immediately drawn to. Tbh, I'm not sure if I could pull off the approach to instant date anymore anyway.

I've always meshed well with fitness dudes and girls, but because I can't do that stuff anymore it just depresses me to be around them. So cultivating a new social circle seems hard; I feel like I've lost my identity.

Anyway, having someone to care for at this point would be good for me. So, where/how can I go abouts attempting to find someone??

Thanks redpillers!
