I figured it would be interesting/ enlightening to hear from users who have found happy relationships in modern society and how they met. I know how much we love to make hating posts on the stupidity of modernity, but posts from guys that have successfully found stable relationships despite the cultural zeitgeist is just as important/ informative.

Forget Tinder. Socialize and find friends and do stuff with those.
I'm still friends with some people from school (my old pnp rpg group) and when I visit home I usually met up with them & their friends and we play boardgames or have a garden party.
One of them is really into parties and he has 3 friends who are the same. And they all have their birthday in summer around the same time, so they throw one big party. Due to me still being in contact I get an invite and make it most years. Age rage is about 20-40 for most people (except the little children, but families start leaving around 5pm) and there are 100+ people over the evening there. Friends of friends. New friends. Coworkers. Friends of coworkers.
That also leads to a subgroup from the same people who loves wine. So during wine season here in Germany they visit basically every wine festival there is here in the south west (and there are a ton). Just get a friend who also has an interest and off you go. You know people from previous events (and the party). You basically have 1-3 good friends with you, 3-4 acquaintances you talked to in the past and 10+ new faces.
Plenty of (cute) girls too. And you (and she) already established that both of you are capable of socializing and are not total crazy people.
