      I've found one enormously successful way of meeting many women.
Get a horse.  Far more women ride than men; the ratio at most barns is
about 5 to 1.  ....

You don't actually have to get a horse,  taking lessons at a riding academy
(that teaches adults) is also a possibility.  Classes are usually segregated
by ability level, but never by gender.  Riders also frequently like to hang
around before and after lessons to chat, so it can be quite social and
very friendly.  (It's hard to stay aloof when the whole world has seen
you bite the dust once or twice).  (And falling off a horse generally
looks much worse than it is.)

I wish more men would learn to ride.  There is no nicer way to spend a
couple of hours than a quiet cross country hack.  The only way to improve
on it is to have someone nice to ride with.
