    I'll take this as a serious post.


    My wife and I were set up through a coworker of mine who was a classmate of her's at the time. It's a long story of how things worked out, but I would say, 1st thing's 1st:
    -Be comfortable with yourself, if you aren't, nobody else will be either.
    -Be outgoing. I don't mean going balls to the wall, but be willing to step out of your comfort zone a bit.
    -Take risks
    -Talk to strangers, don't be shy. Remember, people are as self conscious as you are, if you don't say hi, they won't either.
    -Don't be creepy
    -You're in control of your own destiny
    -Don't go out looking for wifey, just go out.

    If you are yourself, and are a confident version of yourself, you will naturally attract women who will like you for you. Whether it be a super market, coffee shop, book store, sporting event, etc. If you're a little bit social and throw yourself out there, you'll catch some attention. You can't hit a shot you don't take. So if you go to a party, go chat up anyone and everyone, guys and girls. This will lead to meeting more people in general, which gives you a greater chance of finding said "wifey".

    My wife and I dated once, didn't work out, a year or so went by when we met up again, we both grew up quite a bit, still didn't date, then linked up again about another year later. It's funny how things work out sometimes in life.

    Good luck!

    Considering the only desired quality you mentioned in your post is "pretty", maybe spend some time thinking about that.

    My advice is to stop looking for someone. People don't HAVE TO be in an exclusive relationship. We can be whole people and we can have many types of relationships with many people, be it friendship or mentorship or sharing a passion for something or just good ol' fashion f******. Sometimes it's a combination of those things.

    If you have trouble with the idea of being alone, there are plenty of ways to teach yourself things and learn about yourself, and when you learn about yourself you start to love yourself for what you create, and when you start to love yourself for what you create you become an attractive human being to others.

    You are only going to be all-world at something you really ****ing love, and if you are all-world at something then you will never spend time worrying about how to conjure up a relationship that would look great in an IKEA catalogue.

    Met my ex-wife at church.

    If you are looking for marriage material you have to look outside the "fling" locations like bars/tinder.

    Group events like those group workout things, charity stuff, corporate networking events.

    Last time I went there I literally saw a neckbeard. You could smell his over weight, non shaven and dirty clothed body from the game couches.

    He was with a group of people playing Magic. I couldn't get over it, he was like a meme from the internet brought to life. 6/10 would not go back there for a while even if they did have golden eye and NBA jam.
