I want to meet a romantic partner organically, not through dating apps. However, although I enjoy my hobby groups (dnd, tabletop gaming) they are unfortuantely male-dominated. And when it comes to the very few women that are in this club, almost all are taken. What are some hobbies that you know of that have a balanced gender ratio?

Outdoor groups such as walking, hiking, etc.

There are plenty of women who love dnd, and you can always look into other things to. Get the idea of gender dominance out of your head and you’ll have a much easier time meeting people
Get a new hobby.
Some outdoor activities have a lot of women that participate – like hiking, biking, geocaching.
Do you have any interest in volunteer work? That’s likely to be female-dominated.
Do you have any interest in politics? A lot of women in both major parties participate in campaigns or advocacy, though there’s probably more on the Democratic / liberal side.
A lot of my friends met their partners through kickball. Also, you could always try DND online. I think a lot of the stores are male dominated but most of my online players have been women, including myself. (I am also a forever dm of several years and I s2g if another guy tries to mansplain the handbook to me one more time imma lose it)
Any kind of dancing, acting, or performing in general tends to skew female. As an added bonus, many of the other men are gay.
Book groups are also female dominated, but involve lots of homework.
Co Ed sports… Kickball, Dodgeball, Softball, Bowling League.
Can even try a new activity and take a painting class or dance lessons.
Is there by chance any of the taken ladies that you know have a friend they’d be interested in introducing you to?
Say on your tinder profile you’re starting a D&D campaign. Wait for 3-5 women to take you up on it, then run the campaign. They won’t date you but you’ll still have a blast playing D&D.
Russian mail order bride ?
Ask them to set you up.

I started going to a book club and I’m the only man there. I’m not single though I just go for the books, and the drinks.

I went to a pottery class recently, hoping to meet cute guys, it was all women and girls! Had a really fun time though.
Went for a fitness class with all women, it was a bit overwhelming. They were very friendly but being the only guy is strange. Pick up new hobbies, go to retreats, conferences on a topic of your interest and you might find some.
Anyone else find it funny that spontaneously approaching women in public can be considered creepy, but then contriving a situation in which you can meet women more privately is never considered creepy?
Just seems kinda backwards to me. Like I know I can meet women in a dance class, but I’d feel like a perv because I’m not really interested in dancing, only the women in the class. There is earnestness about publicly approaching that I like, it’s just totally straightforward.
(not judging OP, it’s tough out there, do what you gotta do)
Ideally your taken friends and their SOs will provide opportunities for meeting someone organically via social circle
