Social Networking good for finding girls?

From my understanding most people meet girls through their friends; however, I have never done this I have always picked them up solo. How does one use a social network to meet girls because I am failing at it quite hard. Am I just not meeting enough people each term or what? Last term I came out with 3 new friends who I keep in contact with every week but through none of them I have even came close to meeting new girls. One friend is married so when we hang out it is just us and the other hangs friend who is a girl by the way hangs around nothing but guys. Then I have a group of guy friends and it just ends up being a huge group of guys.
I have friends but I can't help to think my social life is unhealthy especially due to me being single for so long. I make new guy friends = guys, friends with a girl = guys. I am active even though I wouldn't same I am star of the football player it is not like I sit in my room all the time. I spend most of the day on campus 9am-3pm and play a group sport. Is there a number you guys can give me on what a healthy number of friends I should be coming out of with each term?

well, you should probably knock the perception that there's a "healthy" number of friends to acquire. whatever you want is what is healthy for you.
most of all, most of all
someone said true love was dead
but i'm bound to fall
bound to fall for you
oh what can i do
This.
It is very useful to use your social circle to find potential girlfriends, but it is not the only way. Why are you focused on this one strategy?
As far as your married friend, ask his wife to set you up with one of her friends. If you tell your friends you are lookging for a girlfriend they will help you. Those that are already in relationships will be much more willing and able to help.
I think the whole friends rant was because friends in his mind is the first logical step in meeting women.
--->Meet friend
>Meet friends' friend who is a lady. (Like that...I think...).
When I was single, I never ever met any women when I wasn't trying to meet women.
This whole question is weird to me and this part especially. I have no real advice, just hope you can get to where you don't feel "unhealthy" when you aren't dating.
Jeffe wins the thread.
bravo
I am absolutely positive he was drunk posting when he wrote this...
I've got a buddy who always hung around art wonks. He did the music thing himself and even though he's a huge geek, the outsider art wonk group (not the regular art wonk group) was always full of girls. Many of them fat. When he scooted off to college he fell into a slightly less depressing group since it was no longer high school and, again, by being in a group of semi-creative people there was a mix of genders, many of which were single. But the person he eventually ended up dating didn't even have a boyfriend before, so it's not like it was a sure thing -- it was a crapshoot.
If you want to meet girls at a social outing, you should join social groups that are more explicitly feminine. Believe me, the local Yoga group has a LOT more females than, say, your gaming buddies group. Of course, you actually have to give a shit about yoga as anyone involved will see if you're trolling for sex from a mile away.
try myspace
theres a lot of options with one of the biggest social networking sites
You mention that any girls you've met, you've met solo. How does that work? In my experience I've never just walked up to a stranger and been successful at winning a new friend if that stranger is a girl, however I've made a decent friend or two through this method, so I shouldn't say never. Every time I've ever successfully chatted up a girl/obtained a number/randomly hooked up it's been meeting them at a social gathering of a large group of people so even though they're strangers we share a common friend or two which just makes ice breaking all the easier.
Honestly though. Theres no cut copy paste way to meet women. Facebook and Myspace are surprisingly viable options. I dated a girl for almost a year last year whom I met at school, but didn't have the balls to call so we talked on myspace a lot till she invited herself over and blah blah we dated for a long time. I've also noticed that a lot of people do terrible at phone conversations so when a girl gives you her number in this day and age it's usually to text. Don't take offense to that. Use it to your advantage.
