picrel is me :D
I do not have strong advice for meeting people irl as I met my moid online (which is also very difficult), I can advise you to not listen to half the retards in this thread.
If you are in your mid-20s and you are not financially well off it is not abnormal, and the avg woman would not care if you are a wagie at that age. There is a certain genre of women who are interested in status and money for sure, but if you're just after a cute girl with similar interests she will not be one of those.
Not having any social media likely stunts your chances to an extent. It is not absolutely needed but it would 100% help. I know you want to meet irl, but there are many relationships formed from the algorithm recommending instagram accounts of similar people in ur area.
On the other chan you mentioned meeting the girls u take on dates at cafes, which I would probably avoid. Imo a woman who is nerdy and accepts you going on lainchan is pretty unlikely to be frequenting a cafe alone. >>/113071/ is right, if you want to find a nerdy girl the best places would be weird little internet cafes or dweebish events like comic cons or gigs. Even if you don't find the love of your life instantly it could help you accumulate a social circle which will help you find said girl in the long run.
Someone said to not mention going on lainchan and stuff there too which I would also disagree with, there is no point in lying about your interests if you are trying to find someone who you genuinely like, who likes you, but going to normiespaces like cafes would probably not be the best place to find people who are into that.
>>/113433/ You are retarded and cucking yourself by having a pessimistic unrealistic worldview this is so empirically false you have to have very poor analysis skills or an actual cuck fetish
