25 YOE, TC ~50 LPA, Still No Genuine Partner… Is This the New Normal?

25M, Indian, based out of Bengaluru, TC ~50LPA Cash + Bonus. Decent looking, well-spoken, but struggling to find any genuine partner. Tried all the usual suspects—Tinder, Bumble, Hinge. Either it’s ghosting, endless texting that goes nowhere, or the rare match that feels more transactional than real. Fake profiles pop up on dating apps more than real people. Can’t exactly hit on people at work, becomes messy in my opinion. So, where the hell do people even meet real partners these days? Is this just how it is now? I keep seeing stuff about people meeting partners through hobbies, like gym buddies, sports groups, painting classes, dance events or even book clubs. Anyone here ever had success meeting a real partner through an activity, NOT a dating app? If NOT dating apps, what actually works? Drop your thoughts below.

Friends of Friends (The safe bet)
Hobbies/Sports Groups (Gym, clubs, classes)
Dating Apps (Still works for some?)
Random Events/Parties (Fate + Alcohol)
Work/College (Office romance, anyone?)

Dear Ted Moseby

Marriage is like a 40 year Investment and lots of responsibilities. So why the hurry. Take your time. Till then watch "How I met your mother" and just do your thing.

Take life as it comes Ppl cannot be forced in life. If something has to happen it happens at odd places too With me only, i was travelling to some client place whixh is located on remote area in karnataka Had to go by train. At Hyd station, met a guy who helped me with luggage and platform etc. (i act like a headless chicken on railway stations ). He was so well spoken, good persona. We just exchanged numbers n started speaking. Later on it fell apart due to some reasons but he is a good guy at heart.
Lesson- ppl can meet anywhere
