I've had that idea before. Never made a real attempt, I suppose. Would one day a week be enough? That's all I could really spare, apart from my brother. Where would I volunteer? What are the kinds of places that could help me accomplish my goal? And if I'm going to volunteer just so I can try and meet a woman, doesn't that make me selfish?

yeah! you gotta do it with some regularity. doesn't have to be all the time. Just a few hours a month would be more chances to meet cool people that care about things. Volunteer at a food bank, soup kitchen, animal shelter, library, etc.

Maybe it makes the volunteer work more selfish but here's the thing: no one cares if you're volunteering for selfish reasons. So many people do it because it looks good on a resume. Or it makes them feel good for caring. I don't think there's any real altruism in volunteering, the volunteer is getting something out of it, and others benefit from the help. Winning all around.

And the ratio of volunteers generally skews to more women.

Thank you for saying so! What is a "pod" of volunteers?

You are welcome. I meant a lot! Maybe a pod, like a group of them. :P

I have been volunteering at bingo fundraisers for a while now. it's 5 hours once a month or so, meet the same regulars. It's a way to hang out with people with a common interest in a cause.

I don't remember what my eHarmony radius was. My current Bumble radius is 30 miles. I can reach several cities in that radius. I can't imagine going any wider than that, because that's just asking for a long-distance relationship. Bad idea, when I hate driving with a passion.

Hmmm, that's fair. Well you're limited by your radius's population. Want more options? You have to move.

Or you can make more options by meeting more people and you may make an organic connection. those do still happen. :)
