I've been doing some research on social circles and I stumbled upon this video, He brings up a really interesting concept of using women who friendzone you to your advantage by getting to introduce you to their social circles
I've been thinking, my friend groups have always been 100% men and I never got any women from it.
I have never, and I mean NEVER met a woman THROUGH another woman. Every woman I’ve ever dated or slept with I got on my own.
My experience has been exactly the same as

@Zimbabwe, I have had solely male friends over the years. I've experienced one primary advantage by doing this. I've not gotten stuck in the friend zone with any women when I've been physically attracted to them. The downside of this is that it has likely affected my ability to get social circle introductions. Without social circle introductions, I've had to navigate a more difficult path via approaching and websites/swipe apps.
While social circle introductions have been declining in recent decades (see below), they are still best for producing longer lasting relationships.
In theory, the way to do this would be to latch onto to the girlfriends of your friends, your sister, and whatever attractive female cousins you have. Those are the best ways to break into female groups.
I would not recommend making friends with women you're attracted to for the purposes of future introductions. You must also live in the same city as your sister and cousins, which isn't probable.
In practice, a lot of social circle introductions happen from "off limits" type women. These are from women who you work with, friend zoned women from before puberty (this only works when you and her live in the same city as adults that you did in K-8 grades), and friends/acquaintances of your friend's girlfriends. In practice, this is happening less as social circle introductions have been declining for 3 decades. People's real life social circles are getting weaker. An example of this is my closest friend's now wife but previously girlfriend. When she was the girlfriend in the early to mid 2010s, us guys in the same circle would marvel that she had over 1,000 Facebook friends but could never put any of us on a date with any of those 1,000+ Facebook friends.
