Trying to blame someone else for your feelings and actions? Look what you made me do?... Is not a defence

If you feel emasculated, that's a you problem. Man up, go to work and quit being a little bitch.

"Man up" means nothing, and is not an argument. I have a job, but I don't see how that's an argument either. You think having a job guarantees one a girlfriend/sex?

Again, that's a you problem, what?, are they supposed to fall out of trees? Personality, attitude, hygene, looks, all have things to do with finding a partner, if you have none of those, well that's on you. There's dating apps, singles clubs, some supermarkets have singles nights, friends of friends, many ways to meet people. Being single aint easy, whoring around is fun, but it's not on them to find you, you gotta put a little effort too

"There's dating apps, singles clubs"
True, but in my experience, at least on Tinder, I only started getting likes when I changed my location to Norway. Take that as you will.

I have tried looking for singles clubs/social groups in my area, but the only ones I can find are virtually all aimed at types of people I don't fall into (e.g. older people, black people, LGBT+ people, Jewish people, Asian people, Spanish-speakers, single parents, "professionals", etc., and sometimes combinations thereof)

"some supermarkets have singles nights"
What?! I have never heard of supermarkets having singles nights. That sounds like it could simply be a regional thing where you live.

Here is a good video you should check out:

Honestly, I've never used apps, I'm still old school, I'm a social person and out going and like to set myself up in uncomfortable situations anxieties be damned. It is tough and I'm pretty selective too, I like strong independant woman who don't "need" a man and have thier own lives, I date, takes 2 or 3 days to figure out if it should carry on and I won't settle. The secret to the super markets, when I was in Manitoba, wednesdays at Safeway were the singles nights, but if you go usually any afternoon around 4:30- 6:30, single women shop 2-3 days a week for their meals, they don't buy bulk, hang around the produce section, not the meat or frozen food sections, quality women eat right and shop frugel, produce spoils fast hence the 2-3 days a week. Make eye contact and always smile, not psycho smile, just smile, nod, say hi occasionally, it may take time but what else works is consistancy, regularity, small talk with the cashoers cuz they know allll the regular women customers, once you become a regular they start to notice, do NOT buy hot pockets and mountain dew red, they want a man, not a gamer or man child, it's alot of work but you eat healthy and you just never know. I frequent the same pubs, not bars unless youre into whoring, I'm over that. I get to know all the waitresses and they get to know you which helps when other women are around, take note tho, do NOT date a waitress if you're not gonna be serious, because of that, one of my haunts, I can't go certain nights, aaawwwkward. Take care of yourself maintenance wise, look good, feel good I always say, confidance. I know it's tough but I'm personable and always have someone introducing me to women like it or not but it certainly helps in the confidance department. NEEEVEEERRR talk politics, religion, or your shitty boss, ask questions about themselves, compliment even something as benign as shoe colour or handbag, they like to be noticed and they go thru great pains picking shoes and purses or hand bags etc. I could go on but baby steps right. Anyhow, good luck

Yeah, you're clearly from an older generation than me.

I live in southern Maryland, and we do not have grocery store socials here. Sounds like a Canada thing. My best friend growing up has worked at the nearest Safeway in my county (about 15 mins away) for well over 5 years, and he has never mentioned to me any such events.

I do not go to any pubs/bars because I'm not really drinker at all - I have Crohn's disease.

I'm 23, and the only girls I ever encounter who seem interested in me are middle schoolers. I work at a store in the mall, and girls around my age never even seem like they're open to being approached.

I'm also 5'6". The last girl I was talking to who I really liked (about 3 years ago) was the tiniest girl I went to high school with, and not even that worked out.

Back in October, I added a cute transgender girl (who's about the same height, if not even smaller) on Snapchat, and not even she was interested in a relationship.

Join a band, take art classes, there are single organizations all over, get out and be sociable, if you're gonna mope about it and blame them for not wanting to date, well sorry to say, that may be part of your problem.

I was giving advice on meeting people grocery shopping, I realize they all don't have social nights, that's not what I was getting at. DO YOU SHOP FOR GROCERIES? That's the advice I was getting at, how to be social and when. DO YOU EAT OUT AT PUBS OCCASIONALLY? Pick a favourite local and get to know the staff and regulars
I run an auto salon shop and work construction, very lonely jobs, not much room to meet people so you got to get creative. Take it or leave it I don't care, just passing out advice. Or you can sit and mope, again, I don't care, just trying to help
