If you are in a relationship how did you meet your current partner, or if you are currently single how did you meet your ex? If you have never had a romantic/sexual partner, how (if you try) do you try, to meet anyone?

I don't try. I'm not aware of anything I could do to raise my chances anywhere above zero, and have never been. Besides, I'm not sure it'd be morally acceptable to do anything.

I met my wife through a friend.

Usually, in my previous relationships, I would strike up a friendship with the person. Then, if we were both interested, we would pursue romance/lovemaking.

I just try to connect with someone through shared interests and then try to become friends from there.

Well...when it comes to how I attract casual sex partners, for anyone curious, just pm me. ;-)

Meeting as acquaintance in extended acquaintance situation, and re-meeting much later.

I pretty much asked 25 girls on Tinder what their favorite pokemon was. Only one responded, she said "i really like luxray and gardevoir" It all started from there.


I used Tinder in the least likely way you'd use it and it worked.

My philosophy is it's so stupid it might work.

Batting their eyelashes is a good way for women to break my illusion that I'm dealing with equals. To me, it means, "Unlike you, I am attractive and desirable as a partner. Don't even dream of interacting with me any more closely than strictly whatever external circumstances force me to tolerate, and bear in mind I can easily summon someone more than capable of beating the s**t out of you, and more than willing to chivalrously rid me of the nuisance you are. Watch out!".

Oh, come on!
When a girl does that, she is either flirting or just blinking.

You get all that from eyelashes?! You've got quite the persecution complex going on. Refusing to engage with girls, ever, is an excellent strategy for remaining single.

That was a cheeky fun comment aimed at Drawyer. I understand a person anger at the mating game, it's mostly cruel, with rules made long ago, without human consent, but my nature. Sex is not equal and righteous, neither is birth and death. I don't think there is much point in targeting individuals who don't don't play fairly in a rigged game. The same way I don't hate the guys or girls who use a person for their gratification. I don't like the injustice of sexual relations, but I'm not perfect, and I don't know anyone who is, so I try to hate the situation we find ourselves in, and not the person, if I possible can.
