It seems today that for men to pick up women he either has to work with them, meet them at the club, or join a yoga class lol. but how did men hook up with chicks back in the day? Was there a secret meeting spot or something?

My dad met my mom at college, but she was the black sheep of the family for marrying a man from the wrong side of the tracks.
My aunt met my uncle in high school.
My uncle met a different aunt through friends.
Back in the day–people really didn’t have as many people to choose from. And it kind of makes sense–if you meet someone through your family and friends, you can be assured that they share many of the same values. That’s the sort of thing that makes relationships work in the long run–shared value systems.
Most people married young, some as young as 16 or 17, so there wasn’t a lot of picking up to do. People met through work, school, church, social functions like dances. I guess some people met in bars and nightclubs, same as they do now.
Bars, parties, anywhere. Same as today, really. Although I’m sure the words “kid”, “am-scray” and “let’s say we get outta here” were heard a lot more often. *cocks hat*
