Don’t know anywhere rhode island specific but the gym is a great place to start. Build up your confidence and physique while also surrounding yourself with other confident gym girls, thus leading to potential partners who are healthy and confident.

You can go out to bars and clubs but honestly don’t recommend that personally unless you want something less serious.

If you’re an active type person, look into hashing and see if there’s any hashing groups in your area! It’s basically a jogging group but with alcohol and a scavenger hunt mixed in. If you don’t make girlfriends you’ll probably at least make good friends.

Go to local little concerts at restaurants and bars and see if there’s anyone that captures your interest

I don’t know why this is getting downvoted. If the gym is a hobby, like minded people will be there. Like I met a great guy at CrossFit. I would not suggest joining just for dating. Any place one has to use good judgement and discretion when approaching another person for the purpose of communicating and maybe dating….. MeetUp is an option. There are groups for all kinds of different interests and hobbies. Maybe even a cooking class or art class….. Host a party and have friends bring food/drinks and a single friend or two.

I’m just gonna assume people have had BAD experiences with dating gym people, and I will keep that in mind for myself lol

I didn't think about it like this before, but now that you mention it, you could def run into some really narcissistic people in the gym. They're a minority of the overall members in my experience, but they are there.

Because this is Reddit. The general opinion would be that fitness is "fat phobic" and all gym goers are "far right nutjobs". It's ridiculous.
