I live by this rule. But I also don't really have many opportunities to meet women outside of work either. At this point I just accepted that I'm gonna be lonely for the time being and am biding my time to save up money and leave the Bay. A human connection and romance just isn't worth the social cost these days. "Don't shit where you eat" is a good rule of thumb once you realize that its not a game you can win.
