Minimum dating standards

Guy who is me who is single: I'd be fine if we could just get some third places that aren't focused on drinking where it is appropriate to ask women on a date.
Or if I started drinking more again I guess, but having quit for a while to cut back I don't want to get back to where I was, I'm doing good.
Additional third spaces definitely required.

Guy I know who is single: "You need to be literally perfect! Tons of money, super athletic, cultured, brilliant, speaking six different languages! It's impossible!"
Girl I know who is single: "Fuck me, I hope this next guy I'm seeing isn't married, can cover his side of the check, and remembered to wash his ass. Although, at this point, two out of three isn't bad."
It's a high bar to clear.

I just transitioned. Now I have 3.

All you need to be a superhero is 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10 km run every day.
You'll go bald doing that

People laugh but even without the running part this is a lot

Not really. Do 10 of each on the hour for 10 hours straight.

I keep hearing people say this. Where are you that you don't have parks? Tennis courts or swimming pools or volleyball beaches? There's a spot near my house, just off a popular running trail, that hosted a "Singles Night" and it was swarming with eligible 20-somethings. There's an outdoor theater in downtown that does free-to-the-public shows every month and a dozen other concert halls and sporting arenas that will happily sell you nosebleed seats for cheap. Nevermind the dating 101 spots - movie theaters, dance clubs, and bowling alleys.
"No more third spaces" has become this suffocating meme that cropped up in the wake of COVID. It's like some time after 2021 everyone just forgot how to take a walk near a large body of water and talk to one another for an hour or three.

Probably subsequent to a secondary location.

They're talking about places to approach/get to know strangers

Try more meetups? There's always stuff for running, board games, coding, bike riding, bird watching. Just don't be a creeper who's cruising instead of doing the activity in good faith.

This isn’t on you, but I feel like there’s a key piece of information missing from this abstract:
It was observed that gastric acid values were higher following banana as compared to porridge and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.001). It was was thus concluded that ripe banana is not a bland food.
How much higher? It might not be the perfect food, but it might still be okay. I also can’t tell if it’s not there as clickbait (essentially), if the study doesn’t disclose it, or if it’s not actually a significant difference. My money’s on the first or the last, but anything over than the first is shitty.

It's my understanding that women don't want to be asked out at such places, the common complaint being that they can't even enjoy their hobby without guys asking them out.

100% this. But also, you can make your own third space by inviting friends over and asking them to bring friends. I met most of my serious girlfriends at various house parties. Friends of friends are somewhat pre-vetted.

Yes, that's what I meant but don't be a creeper that's cruising for dates. You can still make friends, and over a longer period of time ask if there's interest. I don't have an objective set of rules for this path- almost all of my dates were via dating apps, where interest in dating can be assumed.
