Default What's a busy guy to do?

So, i've moved recently and haven't made many friends. In the pursuit of finding a decent woman I turned to the internet. Waste of time. Let's just say i'm happy I made an email acct. specifically for this. After a month I haven't had contact with a real person. Most of the ads I deem as real contain woman heavier than I am. Other sites are filled with spammers harvesting emails, or want me to pay.

Tried to have a few acquaintances introduce me to some girls and they either turn out to be immature, not looking for something serious, or i get the "friend zone". One moron tried to hook me up with a female (admittedly cute) with herpes. Horray.

I don't really have time to go on the "hunt" so to speak. Not really good with the "cold" approach either. Work consumes me 6 days a week and by the time I get back from the gym I have enough time to wind down and that's about it. Any ideas?

I'm trying to be serious here, and I expect the same from you. I do realize i'm in the basement.

Looking for women on the internet isn't the way to go, bud.
Try going out more often.

I always found that when I wasn't looking for a girl, they were always around. When I would be looking, I couldn't find shit.

Single for multiple years crew checking in.

Not a prob really because I do what I want when I want and I kinda like it that way...though it would be nice to have someone around now and again.

I find that some people wish they were in a relationship when they're single and single people wish they had someone. Seems like the grass always seems greener on the other side.

Try and make more friends. The more friends you have the bigger the chance one of your friends invites some females to a night out or whatever.
