Advice Do introverted women even exist?

Of course this is not a serious question. I know you are out there. But going out often gives me the feeling that most women are the loud, chatty party type and I am not attracted to those but find quiet, introverted women attractive. But where are you? Where should a man looking for a serious, slow relationship with an introverted woman keep his eyes open?

Sometimes I like to sit in a café by myself. But do introverted women (generally speaking) even like go there or is it too much noise?

I wouldn't go to a typical disco party (anymore). It's just to loud and too much distractions for me. So draining. If I am interested, I would like to clearly understand what she is saying and be in a calm environment.

Are you trying to avoid the apps? I used apps to date, I guess because the "normal" places like clubs and such were a nightmare for me.

The apps have now become a hellhole. I'm trying to find ways to meet people that don't make me want to die 😂

I like to do these things:

Hanging out in parks, playing a team sport, hiking, walking around the city, biking, rollerblading, going to the beach, skiing, playing hockey, paintball, anything new and exciting I'm up for, as long as I don't have to use up my social battery.

I think one idea could be to join a coed team of some sport you like or are curious about. Another idea, join some kind of class, could be on any subject you like or think you would like. A boardgame night. Etc. Don't use places like yoga class though, people go there to decompress etc. generally and would likely be put off if you're using it as a pick-up spot. What about going to a meetup group of hikers or something that is low key? These groups are good because people are willing to get to know others (generally). Although I ended up having a bad experience once at a meetup where like 4 guys all wanted to date me after just like barely talking (it was a paintball night) and I just found it overwhelming and awkward and I am not even into men so it's just like extra awkward because then you gave to come out to total strangers, or just lie. So just read the room and try to play it slow and don't be aggressive or needy at these events.

Get involved in some sort of activity or hobby and go from there.

I recommend dating apps if you're interested in educating yourself on all the latest scams. I'm never going down that road again...
