Well, you know where not to go then. That's a start.

When you know what you want out of life, and what kind of woman you'd like, you can start imagining where she might be hanging out.

Really, it's about learning and sorting. Going on single dates with women, and not playing the games of not calling for 3 days etc. Sort quickly.

Women (and probably some men) tend to get attached quickly before they know the other person and then end up wasting time on someone who doesn't actually match them.

If you meet someone, even if it's someone already married, but she has some qualities you feel drawn to, ask her where she hangs out. There might be more women with like qualities who hang out in those places, who are still single.
