After crashing and burning on Tinder I'm a bit stumped on where to meet women. I'm not desperate or bitter about it, but I'm in my mid twenties already and I want to experience a proper relationship so I can make an informed decision on whether I settle for permanent celibacy.I've got a job and joined a Japanese class partly hoping that I'd meet someone I could be into, but so far I've had no luck. What do you recommend I should try to increase my chances of meeting women that I might end up falling for?I have friends, but not too many, and none of them has had any luck in hooking me up because all the girls they know are already into relationships.

Self improve. You are not loveable.
>>32325608How else should I self improve? I work out almost every day, I read and try to take interest in the world around me, I care about my family and friends, and I try to show kindness to all the people I know and interact with.
>>32325590Unironically go travelling for a year. Go to South east Asia it's a fuck fest, not even with the locals but with backpackers. Do that for a month then go to Oz or NZ and do the work holiday visa. Buy a shitty van and stay on campsites/free camps in nature, stay in hostels in cities for a few nights. You'll meet plenty of people in the same boat as you, looking to make connections and experience things.
>>32325780That sounds like fun, but also as a tremendous undertaking, both emotionally and financially. I don't have a lot of money, not to say much at all. I don't think I'd be able to go on such a radical solution before trying something more feasible first.
>>32325870I booked my flights and paid for my visa with barely any money left, about 1500 in the bank. I left NZ with 10k equivalent. If you have a specialist degree you can earn especially good money in Aus, best way in is via the working holiday. NZ pay doesn't match cost of living but as a backpacker/traveller you can get by fine. The biggest thing to overcome is the fear.
>>32325970I don't hold any qualifications that would enable me to do that. Do I really need to go on a year-long pilgrimage to meet a romantic partner?
>>32325980In fairness neither did I and still don't. You don't have to no, but you might have a really good time and make some great memories and make lifelong friends. Love tends to pop up when we least expect it at least for me.
>>32325997Guess I'll add it to my list of to-dos.
>>32325590Expand your friend group. Invite people from the Japanese class on platonic friendly meals to Japanese themed bars or restaurants. Add them on steam or psn or whatever. Find their other interests and ask to join, share your other interests and invite them to join. Boom, new friends. Then you can expand through their network of friends and rinse/repeat until you make a friend that can hook you up
