Just another dating question

I know this sub has seen plenty of messages similar to this but i wanted to be a bit more specific then the ones ive seen, im a straight male, and im trying to find if there is a more "efficient" way of trying to find a partner, i tried a dating app but after a few months without any responses or matches or anything like that i started looking into "speed dating" but there isnt really any options that i could find and when i could they were for atleast 21 and up(im 18) and even more that were 50+ or 40+. The intention was to look in places where there were already women looking to try and find a partner also so that way im not spending what little social battery i have looking in places that dont really have them or trying to get closer to people who either have no interest in dating, are not even attracted to my gender or are simply already committed to relationship. So i come here seeking advice since its the broadest demographic that I think still helps me find an answer to my specific question
