List of dating heuristic I’ve seen massively upvoted on reddit

From the male perspective:

1. Don't approach stranger women in public places
2. Use apps instead
3. Don't use apps (too shallow)
4. Instead go to bookshops, cafes, bars, libraries and talk to stranger women
5. Don't approach women you don't already know because at the time off initial contact you only have their looks to judge them by which is superficial and gross
6. Don't go to bars to meet strangers
7. Do hobbies that allow you opportunity to speak to women
8. Don't do a hobby to meet women, only do what interests you
9. Don't bother women at hobbies, it might ruin the hobby
10. Don't do solo hobbies (see #8)
11. Go to nightclubs (the only one I've not seen contradicted. But only includes a small subset of young women who like clubbing)
12. Be friends first
13. Don't try to turn friendships into partner relationships, they're too different/you need to show romantic intentions at the start
14. Meet someone at work
15. Don't try to date anyone from work
16. Don't date younger (RIP if you do social hobbies where everyone is younger or are a mature student)
