Reading this and other subs, watching YouTube and "studying" your friends is great. However, it's unfortunately all useless if you don't actually meet any women in the first place.

I (28m) work construction with two married men in their 50's, spend two weekday and one weekend evening with friends, and the other evenings are spent playing video games with friends.

I do spend time in places such as bars, nightclubs, coffee shops and "diner" type places, but I honestly don't run into many women at all, which is not uncommon in small UK towns.

My social hobbies are playing pool and darts, which are both heavily male dominated.

I'm not top 10% or whatever, so dating apps aren't working for me. I've tired on and off for 5 years and haven't met up with anyone, nor do I receive that many matches (like 5 a year).

Overall, I'm really struggling to understand how men meet women. I have friends who are casually dating/fucking different women all the time, and I'm very confused how they do it, considering we're all from the same place.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.
