"But if you pick some social event or scene where there are likely to be people vaguely similar to you"

I suspect that for most of us, such scenes consist almost exclusively of dudes.

I have trouble meeting women, and it's due to three major constraints:

1) I'm not religious, so church is out.

2) Bars bore me.

3) I haven't identified any other venues where a 30-something guy can approach women in a sociable context.

These constraints may be typical of the Less Wrong readership.

Science fiction fandom. In my (UK-based) experience, it contains substantial numbers of both sexes and all ages. And all body types, for that matter.
