I've had more success meeting women on online dating sites or even cold approaching certain women, compared to trying the whole "lets be friends stuff"

Atleast if you get rejected, you move on

With the latter, you're spending your own time on someone who may not even value you

I already said I had lots of success with online dating and have plenty of friends who have as well.

Lots of the guys here on CE who struggle with dating also lack friendships and social skills. This is known. The ability to make friends and gain social skills is very helpful for dating as well. I suggest Meetup as a way to make friends and gain social skills because cold approaching will likely not work for them. They don't have that skill set. And many of them have already tried online dating and failed (but once again, I have tips for those who want them). I have seen guys who couldn't online date, then gain social skills in my Meetup group, and then move on to successfully online date.

Your shitty attitude about friendships and people in general has made you completely miss the point. I am giving people advice on how to be social and make friends. With those skills, they can then be better at online dating, they can be better at cold approaching, and maybe they will end having a relationship with someone they have been friends with. But I never said be friends with women so one day you can fuck them (but it does happen).

I am talking about possibilities and things that could happen. You are simply shooting them down despite the fact that I have seen these things happen many times. Do you think I am lying about all my friends and how things worked out for them? Do you think I am not engaged to someone I met through Meetup and was my friend for 3 years first? And don't say I waited around 3 years for her. I didn't. I had lots of relationships and flings during that time.
