Where do you meet women in 2020?

I feel like I may not be alone when I bring this up but how on earth can a guy in his late twenties meet women who are looking for a serious relationship in 2020 that isn’t a dating app?

I personally haven’t been in the dating game for very long and have tried dating apps but in my opinion are a complete waste of time. All there is are a bunch of ghostings, fake profiles and people who will never actually get any real sense of who you are as a person. I’m tired of all this superficial crap and want someone get to know the real me and not just judge me based on a few pictures.

The problem is I feel like apps are the only way to meet people now a days. Everyone is shy, career focused or just simply busy.

I’m a very outgoing and bubbly person, I love to smile and meet new people but I can’t say the feeling has ever been mutual. Anytime I’ve tried to approach people in person I’m always given the stink eye, immediately shoved off and rejected despite being friendly, making eye contact and smiling. On top of that outside of a bar or club where do you meet single women who actually want to be approached?

I’m a mixed black male if that matters ??‍♂️
