In the 1990s, they had one sponsored by American Online (which is now AOL).
It was really a great chatroom. I met quite a few nice people there.
I didn't even know you were Jewish.

Why do you listen to random people from the Internet? It seems to me like they are venting, somehow. I would bet these people are adopting Internet personas.
I was seeking advice yet what they said confused me. Perhaps your explanation is correct. Perhaps they were venting. I'm not sure if they were using "internet personas" or if they really talk like that in real life.

It's probably better, though, if you had more of a purpose when you go out than to meet a woman. And that the women know this.
I do have a purpose. Meeting women. Dating women. Finding a partner. That is the purpose.
You're suggesting I have some other purpose. It seems very strange that I should have one purpose yet say I have a different purpose. It seems dishonest. Lying about my purpose would make me even more creepy.
I find it strange that neurotypical society expects me to play these games. e.g. if I go somewhere to meet women, say I went there for another purpose. e.g. if I'm interested in a woman and then act like I'm not interested.
I think what was meant is if you have no interest in yoga, it probably isn't the best idea to join a yoga class to 'get a girlfriend' any interested women might feel kind of let down if they think they've found a guy who shares their interest in yoga that they could maybe date only later to find they care nothing for it and just figured there'd be women there. Perhaps it would be best to find an activity you are interested in where you could also potentially meet females, then you won't have to fake interest in the activity but could meet someone who shares a common interest with you.
It would be disrespectful to go to yoga if you just want to go through the motions to look like someone into yoga hoping to attract a mate.
I also would want to gain benefit from the yoga itself if it turns out to be beneficial for me. Especially if it helps treat my lack of physical fitnesses and/or my depression.
But yes, I can understand how hobbyists would be offended to hear I'm not practicing their hobby out of interest for the hobby itself.
The trouble is, again and again I hear people tell me if I want get a girlfriend, I have to join a club or a group but it seems those people are suggesting I join a club or a group mainly for the sake of meeting women, not out of interest for the club or group itself.
