^^ I'd imagine Waterstones would actually be a pretty good place to meet women, just stand there with an over priced starbucks coffee cup in your hand, a well trimmed beard, a vape hanging out of a inside jacket pocket, sorted!
Personally I think people need to be attracted to and matched by physical beauty or jealously is bound to arise, opposites in personality or intellect don't poses much of an issue imo, I met my misses 11 years ago while I was reading an Alan Watts book enjoying the LSD afterglow, she and a few friends were drinking a bottle of wine each in the skate park being loud and gobby, she likes heavy metal/rock I like hip hop and drum and bass, she thinks LSD turns you into a glass of orange juice where as I never plan on stopping expanding my mind, I read Alan Watts books she ''reads'' manga our differences are endless but fuck me, we do look good together.
