I think for normies, the way it works is they have a friend group they meet in high school, who they stay in contact with after graduating, and they meet women through this friend group. I graduated without a friend group so this is probably why I do not get opportunities to talk to women.
The maximum lifespan of such a friendship is up to 15 years if the conditions are right, while the common scenario is staying in contact with two or three people you meet with a few times a year until they go their own way eventually. The window of opportunity for some reasonable action is only within the first years after graduating.
