School and work are mostly warm environments. In high school or college, it does take some guts to approach the girl in Algebra II or English 102 even if you do see her regularly. Working in the same company has benefits and drawbacks in terms of arranging dates. Best to do it with someone you don't see reguarly and don't have to deal with on work projects. I have actually noticed that a lot of white collar workplaces have a sexually sterile environment.(Continued from my comment above...)
The Top 4, "how I met the people I slept with", responses were:
School
Tinder
Work
Club/Bar
Which shouldn't come to a surprise. Because these are "warm" environments (A venue is deemed "warm", if striking up a conversation with someone you've never met before wouldn't be seen as weird). Club/bar can be weird, if your going to one of them social circle bars. The ones where circles tend to stick to their groups only (not weird however, if your being introduced to a new chick through your mutual friend. And not there to pick up girls outside your circle). Cold approach friendly venues? Not weird. There's just less of them these days.
The advantage School and Work have over Tinder and Clubs/Bar, is that lack of "now or never" pressure (your gonna see her again tomorrow. And the next day. And the week after that etc. aka the time necessary for the familiarity principle to work it's magic). That if you don't strike NOW, your odds of seeing her again are greatly diminished.
There's a workplace exception. If a man works in a large office building with multiple companies in that bar and approaches women within other companies in the building, that's cold approaching. I have worked in buildings with many companies in the same building and used the lobby area and/or elevator rides as means to arrange dates and get numbers. If you approach strangers in other companies in the same building, you won't get #MeToo accusations. White collar work is super fussy like that. And, we know most women don't work in blue collar or manual labor environments.
There is a reason you see "warm" environments doing well. Most men are beta males. Beta males struggle with approaching strangers in person. Betas typically get into relationships via social circle. If a beta male lacks a social circle, he'll fight it out on the swipe apps and usually have limited success.
Few men have the guts to approach strangers regularly, especially in non-bar environments while sober. Most men aren't doing non-bar approaching so fewer sexual partnerships form that way. Stranger approach, both in bars and non-bar environments, is extremely challenging and often unrewarding.
