Deleted all my dating apps. Now what?

28F I decided to delete all my dating apps going into 2025 because I've just wasted soooo much time on them with nothing real ever coming out of them. Given them 3+ years of trials. Of course the goal is to meet girls "in the wild" so I try to go to bars, clubs, events etc.

I have heard people say they meet girls through Instagram, how does that work? Curious to hear experiences there. Do I need to make my account public if so?

And then of course, would love to hear of your other ways of meeting ladies because my ways aren't workinggggg
