One strategy could be to go to an area where there is a noticeable higher number of women than men (or the other way around). If there is a lack of suitable partners in town, people lower their expectations and take what they can get. So dating should be easier.
There are many places in the world where there are more men than women, but not so many where there are more women than men. On top of my head I remember Irkutsk and other Siberian towns because many men move to Western Russia for work.
