they're just anon doing what anon always does

Extremely unlikely, for the following reason: The past Walk threads had nothing like this in terms of shilling and concern trolling. This is oddly specific, focused, obsessive, and repetitive for the insults of typical anons. When normal discussion occurs it is evident, and when it isn't occurring it is even more apparent. I don't think your post is necessarily part of that, but I do disagree with your sentiments and approach to this.

That would actually make sense since meeting random dudes off the internet for no specific reason

There is an extremely specific reason for it: networking. Meet and greets, cocktail parties, golfing trips, all that shit is for the exact same reason. The venue and method of meeting is different, that is all. To claim that networking is therefore faggy or a trap because you can't comprehend the value of networking with likeminded people is not based in real knowledge of what this effort is.

Which are you?

False dichotomy. Your setup is flawed.

"Social mixing" meetups are effeminate and strange.

This isn't a tea party for little girlies, anon. I don't see it that way at all. I see it like any meet and greet in business, leading to those very activities of shared goals and entertainment you and I both value and far more important associations.

But tell me how you're going to get shitfaced drunk or into training groups or gun clubs with anons who are already on your level if you haven't met them already? There's three options: Either you join your clubs and hope you can find some other anons doing the same, you speak publicly in such a fashion as to attract the redpilled types towards yourself, or you can try to create a place for meeting anons that doesn't depend on specific interests or passtimes or occupations. I don't dismiss any of those methods, but I do point out the strengths and weaknesses of each and promote this particular idea because it has a particular value to it in terms of network spread.

You may be very young or troubled or literally autistic or deeply lacking in strong male role models (or all of the above).

That's your problem, really. You have created a caricature in your mind of the person who proposed an idea that you cannot appreciate or maybe even understand. Because you "feel" negatively about the idea, you have to rationalize that the speaker must be flawed in order for you to more easily dismiss it and dissuade others from thinking about it because that would earn your social disapproval. For someone complaining about effeminate behaviors and touts how manly-men do socializing, your entire approach to this matter is rather girlish and passive-aggressive aside from being over-assuming. Don't do that.

after 22-23, it gets increasingly harder to meet people in general until you're old as fuck.

Ever stopped to wonder why that is occurring? I meet more people now than I ever met in the past. Why is that? Because I now engage in more venues that allow me to meet new people. I network, particularly in methods and forums that bring in a wide cast of characters. You don't, presumably, because you don't value activities that would allow you to connect with people outside of your narrow band of personal interests. That's why you'd say a person grows old meeting fewer people because you exhaust your own meeting grounds. A Walk is just one method of finding potential inroads to totally different social circles that nonetheless have something very deeply in common with you that most anyone could do. None of that requires you to stop doing whatever it is you do right now, but it does require you to open your mind a bit and stop denigrating ideas you aren't familiar with.

But if you're lucky and not a total dick, you may collect enough decent associates/allies/friends to serve as pallbearers for when the dragon kills you.

Sounds unnecessarily fatalist. I've a much more positive notion of glory and comradeship that inspires me to keep up the dragon-fighting. I've made great friends and great enemies for it too, and I would only want to continue it. Cheer up a bit.
