Then go to where they hang out. Prioritize the venues / events with more women than men, such as yoga. (Delete rock climbing and gaming from your list.)
To learn where women you like hang out, ask, ask, ask. Ask your female co-workers, ask the mothers and aunts of these women, ask sisters, ask them to ask other women, etc. Ask women.
I give speeches on how to attract new volunteers to non-profit groups. I've been using these recruiting techniques with great success for many years.
Find out where the people you want are - then go there.
When you talk to women, discuss their interests, not yours. The conversations are not about you. Listen to them. You will soon learn if you are interested.
Women love it when men listen.
Good luck!
