“Take a month or two between jobs and drive across the USA. Stop at every gas station and truck stop and eat every meal at diners during non-rush hours. Avoid cities; stop primarily in poor rural areas out in the middle of nowhere.

Every time you see a pretty cashier or waitress with a good vibe, politely ask her out. Tell her you’re out seeing the country and looking for a place to settle and a good woman to marry. Repeat until you’ve found someone to go steady with.

This worked for at least one young, awkward guy I knew at a Catholic Church in Louisiana. Met his wife at Love’s on I-80 in Iowa. She converted, moved to Louisiana with him, and they go back to Iowa together every Christmas, fueling up at the truck stop where they met. She was giddy to find him, as most of the men in her town were either already married or total losers. They were both in their early 30’s when they met.

I had planned on doing this when I got out of the military, but Providence had it that I’d never have to try it out—I’d be engaged to Keturah just before my discharge. But I say to any young man having trouble finding a woman it’s absolutely worth a try.

At worst, you see the country and go on a few bad dates. At best, you find the love of your life.”

Guy took the advice literally and actually set out to do it. Spoiler: he didn't find his wife from the trip because most of these rural areas have a scarce amount of young people. In the end he ended up meeting his girlfriend in Los Angeles on a dating app.

Not sure truck stop diner women are the best target group for looking for the marrying type. But I like the strategy…would avoid the Interstate truck stops and go more for the local rural town diner/restaurant that the locals hit up.

Taking advice from one guy who met his foreign wife abroad and another guy who met his wife online. Grifters gonna grift. At this point, most guys need to be gunning for their sweetheart while they're still in high school. When I look back on my old yearbook there were loads of girls I overlooked because I pined after the one girl I thought was the hottest, and it was all or nothing to stupid teenage me. Middle-aged me sees now there were plenty of fish in the small pond where I was at. It's not like we all left for college and became wealthy. Instead we just scattered to the wind, never to cross paths again.

Absolutely agree with that, I was in my 20's and the girl of my dreams who I met in high school wanted to get married and I turned her down because it wasn't absolutely perfect.....very stupid, haven't met a girl that could hold a candle to her since.

She married some dipshit not long after, had a couple kids caught him cheating multiple times and got divorced. I hadn't talked to her in more than decade and the first thing she did was reach out to me. She still looks incredibly stunning and is still the same amazing woman but now she's divorced with 2 teenage sons, lives in a different state and according to her not capable of having more children as much as she would like. So yea that's it, life would be very different now and while I live a great life I am thankful for it would be great for much more fulfilling reasons had I been smarter,

According to the all the 90s movies I’ve watched it’s literally the place to go. Buy a coffee, next minute you’re banging her in your motel room. I’ve personally seen some healthy homegrown heifers working these joints, can’t say it’s a bad idea.

Maybe some gen-x’ers can chime in?

To me the thing that stood out was the trip was only around 10 days so I really could not take his conclusions too seriously. If he saved up some serious cash and quit his job and gone on a 6 month (or even 3 month) road trip across USA and still could not find a woman then it would be a worthwhile story with a meaningful conclusion. But 10 days? What did he think was going to happen in 10 days?

I definitely had a similar situation when younger. It was the second job I ever had and there was this one girl I worked with that I was obsessed with and I was waiting for her to break up with her boyfriend (because I was a retard) and I ignored two girls that were still cute that were clearly interested in me. The girl I was obsessed eventually did break up with her loser boyfriend and a week later I tried to make a move and she rejected me in a very harsh way. And of course the other 2 girls that liked me had lost all interest by then. I learned my lesson after that.

Is anyone still in contact with days of broken arrows? He had some really good thoughts about this sort of thing.

Instead of ignoring the shy, bookish, awkward girls, and going for more of the party girls when you’re in high school or college, go for the shy girl with good character and lock her down early

That was the gist of it

Only thing I would caution here is that it's easy to misinterpret a woman's shyness as interest. Nor does it mean that she's a good-charactered homebody. There's only a tenuous correlation at best.

As for an attention loving woman, that's fine if she is satisfied with your attention. But if her hunger for attention is so voracious that she is seeking for it from other men as well, cut your losses.
