Delete the Apps — 15 Places to Meet Men in Person in New York

Delete the Apps: 15 Places to Meet Men in Person in New York, and how to be seen twice.

Swipe, match, "hey", silence. Repeat. You are not bad at dating. You are in the wrong rooms. New York has more interesting single men per square mile than almost anywhere on earth, but they are not in your bar, your gym class or your group chat. This guide gives you 15 real rooms where men show up on their own, again and again, and what to do inside each one so that a stranger becomes someone who asks for your number.

The method

• The Familiar Face Effect: the mere-exposure effect, and why a weekly room beats a hundred strangers on an app.

• The rules of the room: go alone or with one friend, pick rooms with a task, return for six weeks, arrive early and leave late, be the one who asks a question.

15 places in five rooms

• Play: The Team Rooms (places 01–03)

• Move: The Outdoor Rooms (places 04–06)

• Learn: The Curious Rooms (places 07–09)

• Network: The Builder Rooms (places 10–12)

• Social: The Evening Rooms (places 13–15)

Every place card tells you who you'll meet, the cost (exact prices where published), when, how to join, a meet score, and The Move: what to do in that specific place so you are remembered, and seen again.
