      Take your kid to the playground.

      It’s a perfect equivalent, because you’ll get the occasional sexist saying vile things and forcing you to leave, too! But mostly, women will fawn over you.

        When I was a teenager, I used to walk my grandma’s cute dog past the nearby all-girls school when the girls were coming out at the end of the schoolday.

        Guy with cute dog + dozens of girls around = loads of attention ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

          Terrible advice for anyone who isn’t the same age as teenage girls.

          Supply and demand. Even ugly guys get attention in an all-female area.

        It’s funny, two things that made it infinitely easier to pick up women were my wedding ring and my kids. Of course it’s probably the complete lack of pressure, knowing I’m not actually picking up anyone. Always been a confidence issue.

        Are you watching your kid play from the bushes or something? I’ve never had about encounter like that at the playground.

          I don’t have any kids, but I’ve heard from friends. Man with kid = pedophile, somehow, in some people’s minds.

      in my personal experience, going to cooking/baking classes for the general public, as in not some school/academy. I like to cook and decided to find out if something like this existed where I lived. I found a couple and went to the two that had the more interesting information/description online from the person running the classes, and customer comments.

      It ranged from 50/50 to 20/80, men to women, in almost every class. Also, an extended family member of mine has run art classes for a long time now and he says those are very popular with women.
