Wherever people gather, some of them will be men Have a look at your local paper - what clubs are there? Classes? (people who have graduated do take interest classes, you know) Festivals that need volunteers? Charities that need volunteers? Concerts? Gallery openings? All you need to is search around your area for activities you might enjoy and chances are there will be men there. The rest is up to you.

Ahh yes MOI, living in your own little perfect and ideal world again, are we? None of the decent eligible single dudes I know do any of the stuff above. And they are well educated professionals who are pretty well rounded.
Here is my list:
Golf course
Professional sporting events
Upscale bars and restaurants
The gym
At work (not recommended)
Organized singles events
I've noticed lots of guys when I'm at computer retail outlets.
And...like...so...I mean - isn't it time to treat yourself to a new optical wireless mouse, or perhaps a cordless keyboard? huh?.....heck, just go get some printer paper...check it out.

So? I have run into plenty of 'well educated professionals who are pretty well-rounded' who do those things. Sounds like the people you know may be rather boring, actually. Not exactly sure what you can possibly mean by 'well-rounded' if all they do is
Golf course
Professional sporting events
Upscale bars and restaurants
The gym
At work (not recommended)
Organized singles events
The point is if you participate in activities you enjoy, you'll find people who also enjoy the same activities. A lot of folks around here meet each other in hiking clubs. There have been many marriages in my ballroom club and in fact one of my good friends married a fellow she met at ballroom classes. And ALL these are 'well-educated, well-rounded professionals'. When I lived elsewhere, folks met in ski clubs or running clubs. Then again, people here do more than sit around and watch sports or drink
I know, it sounds tacky, but I've been approached twice by nice, attractive, professional men in the local laundromat.
The pluses:
The numbers are stacked in a woman's favor -- invariably there are 2 - 3 times the number of men to women. If a woman can have her own washer/dryer at home, or can snag an apartment with this luxury (which I'd sell my soul for), I think she's more likely to do so than a man. I know single men who own homes and have no concept of buying their own machines.
The chances of any man in the place being single is excellent. Sure, there are some couples, but how many married men (or men with girlfriends) drag their laundry out to a laundromat and do it on their own? While there are exceptions, even in these enlightened days, a women will tend to do her man's laundry.
If a man can see you in sweat pants, a tatty t-shirt and flip-flops, with your hair in a rubberband and still find you attractive enough to approach, he's not the shallow type, or he's perceptive enough to see that you clean up nicely.
The minuses:
If you choose a joint in a questionable neighborhood, you may find homeless guys wearing greasy parkas hanging out and watching you fold your panties. So go upscale.
Runner up: the beach. Big plus is that you can see a guy with his shirt off before it's too late to turn back.

unfortunately many men enjoy predominantly men's activities and many women enjoy women's activities.
To meet singles of the oppposite sex you need to do things and go places you may not necessairly enjoy.
Women go to book clubs and wine-tastings and can't figure out why there are no single men there. Men go to the sports bar and can't figure out why there are no single women there.
