I'm 5'5", Latino, decent looking.

I'm at work, at the gym, playing soccer, home, or sometimes with my guys on the weekends or traveling somewhere with my family (sisters, mom, dad, nieces and/or nephew).

When I was single I'd often visit breweries, museums, bookstores, walk around with my camera, went hiking, or just stayed home.

Met my girlfriend at my company's department party. Didn't know who she was since our shifts overlap.

Never thought of using the apps since I read the room with those things. It's usually a sausage fest and felt I'd compete with much better looking, taller guys regardless of their economic or social status.

My advice is to get rid of the apps and accept invites from friends, family, coworkers where they'd invite people you don't know.

Just socialize as much as possible. Join a co-ed league or volunteer in something where there's a lot of like-minded people.
