Basically, I have low af self-esteem and it’s difficult for me to meet women. I’ve tried to maximize myself physically…I run and exercise 5x a week, I groom, I have and skin regimes, I dress *really well(*literally the only reason women approach me, although only at bars) I’m 6’3…but my kinda face sucks. Bc of that I’m usually pretty anxious, I’m not longer college-aged (33) and I don’t have a ton of friends, (and they really only go to bars) so meeting women isn’t easy. I’m trying to find alternative, nerdy, artsy, witchy, hippie, goth, quirky, creative, etc women as I’m a nerdy goth myself (though no one ever assumes that and I’ve always had those interests, but I could never find people like that. Hell, it’s not even just women, I’d love to just make friends in that scene. Though, Idk if it’s my location or what (East Coast) but I can’t seem to find out where these women go. I see them all over OLD sites bc I literally get no matches or even likes. Most of my interests are artistic like museums, hiking, art shows, concerts, poetry, film, fashion, etc. and those seem more like places to go to meet women vs you take women on a date. The main issue is I’d be mostly going alone to those places, which would make it that much harder to actually meet anyone…are there better suggestions I’m not thinking of? I tried volunteering at an art gallery for a while, but the only friend I made there was the arts manager and she’s and lesbian and she’s not…good with communication. Also, any help with how to actually begin conversations and talk with them would be great. That may sound weird but I struggle with beginning a conversation. I literally cannot begin one with a woman I’m attracted to. I just overthink it and freeze. My humor is pretty dark and I have my vocal tone is pretty deadpan, so I’m not just someone who can walk up to strangers and be charismatic… So in closing, where and how do I meet alternative women that have interests similar to mine? submitted by /u/jibofyourcutt
