Minimum dating standards

Opposite, I could do that (assuming I could even find said groups, what, newspapers?) for friends but not romantic partners, beyond one of them introducing me to someone. I wouldn't date anyone in the group unless she asked me out because it's my understanding that women don't want to be asked out at the hobby they're "just trying to enjoy" as the complaint often goes. And women, IME, don't often ask people out. It happened to me once, I blew it because I didn't even know how to react lol. Tbf it was kinda on her, I said yes and she didn't follow up with anything. I should have just taken over but I kinda thought she was gonna be like "great friday at 8?" or something but instead I kinda laughed nervously and she just walked away lol.
The part everyone seems to be missing is: I don't need help conversing, I need to know the locations of like groups of nature loving book readers that actively want to chat and how to find their schedule.

ok, i swear i don't mean to be asshole, but this right here shows it is exactly what you need. practice makes better.

Height is definitely a factor, just go on Tinder lol, used to be that a lot of girls bios would say if you're under 180, don't even try, now they can just use the filter. Not sure about the other 2.

you should be happy they raise their red flag so clearly so you can avoid them...

You have made one major assumption here which I feel cannot be overlooked.
Gotta make friends before dating. Having no friends is a big red flag.

I know, X myself, like I said it was a decade ago when I was young as shit and has never happened since so I don't blame you for doubting.
As to the second part, you "don't mean to be an asshole," but you are, and judging my entire life and personality from one decades old anecdote is patently stupid, so, you might be that too my guy. Two can play the asshole game <3.

Yeah well y'know, I work, then I'm too tired to go out, can't afford bars anymore and if I could I'm still too old for that shit.
I do go out to some naturey places when the weather permits (of course it's been hotter than the sun until like this week), but it's not like a naturey meet up I just smoke weed and read a book next to the creek, and look at frogs and shit.
Furthermore, I don't know how these people who say "go to X or Y" even find out that X or Y is happening locally, and where/when. Newspapers? Those still around?
Local newspapers are still a thing, so are bulletin boards at city hall or whatever cultural center you have. (I've seen event listings at bars, libraries, near a fountain, wherever stuff gets hosted)

Not a lot of room to be picky

Side note: I've been seeing loser spelled as "looser" so often recently, when I see it spelled correctly, my brain does a double fart.

well they rejected you beforehand on behalf of really insignificant attribute, so you are not the picky one and you don't really have a choice, but are you really interested in such superficial bimbo?

Word I'll look around, thanks. I assumed newspapers was a joke I was making haha, I thought those were dead for that kind of thing by now.

Lol, "I'm not trying to be an asshole, but here's me being an asshole."
"What?! How dare you be an asshole back to moi?!"
Thanks for your lack of input, your services are no longer needed.

Dating apps tend to fill up with undatable people over time. If you see a lot of girls that like theme park rides come with a "you must be at least this tall" sign thats maybe an omen and portent not to engage.
If you do want to date somebody like that you can also just lie. Its not like most girls will pull out a tape measure and check.

I just swiped left on those. But it doesn't change the fact that people have standards and one of the standards women have for men is height. It's not entirely one way though, men are often superficial on looks too.

Oh definitely, they go left real quick along with all the ones that say their man should be able to afford a lot of upkeep lol
Doesn't change the fact that men are often judged by height as far as first impressions are concerned. And first impressions are hard to change.
There's even a correlation between male height and income because tall men seem (or are) more confident so they get promoted to leadership roles more easily. Apparently the same might be true for women too, but a lot of the studies focus on men.

Probably subsequent to a secondary location.
I believe second place is supposed to be where you work.

Those aren't "standards" though, those are novelties. I've only met one person IRL that had the kind of extreme trait preferences like you're talking about and she absolutely is not somebody who gets dates.
