Necris Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Today I was chilling with my friends playing a game of Monopoly while eating pizza and in my group of friends there is one girl, and she remarked on how none of us know any women (none of us have girlfriends), and apparently its true, like myself none of my friends have girlfriends and they have very limited experience with women. So I guess this explains a little about me and the people I hang out with, and considering very few of my friends have much success in dating , that shows it can be quite tough. Though there is one guy who's a friend who is just naturally good at it. I also know with friends like mine I'm definitely not going to meet women through them anytime soon, so that makes finding women through my social circle more difficult. Also how does your social circle personally effect your dating life?

Also how does your social circle personally effect your dating life? I do not have a social circle so it does not effect it at all. Some time you have to gut cancer from your life and find new friends it not like i cant make friends it just get hard as you get old. I do not think woman care much just as long as you have your own interests and don't call her 20 times a day .
Archgirl Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Mine has my ex of 7years in it. Hence resorting to online dating. I'll join your social circle Necris? That would solve both problems
StanMusial Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 An average person's social circle has a huge impact on their dating life. These are the people who associate with you and know your likes and dislikes and character. It can make all the difference in finding a quality mate.

Emilia Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Also how does your social circle personally effect your dating life? Your social circle forms the base of your social capital Social capital - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Since I've started using Meetup and engage in hobbies that both interested me and allowed me to meet like-minded people, my social circle has greatly expanded (I was away travelling for quite a while so I had to re-establish myself in London) and that in turn has provided me with dating opportunities. Mr Castle has commented on this in the past, his and my experience are the same: it is much easier to date when you have a diverse social circle than if you try the cold approach because you only hang out with guys. 1

Also how does your social circle personally effect your dating life? I don't have much of one, the guys I hang with have random hit/miss luck that's a rarity and therefore I get no play either. On the other hand I see girls with fan clubs and they're always dating someone.

Also how does your social circle personally effect your dating life? Have you ever tried joining other clubs, sports, jobs, etc to expand your circle and meet more women? Go to church, join a sports league, find a cool job.
carhill Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Also how does your social circle personally effect your dating life? Most of my social circle are married 20-30 years, so I don't look to that circle to meet eligible single ladies. Probably the closest I come is running across a few at weddings of children and grandchildren. I've never had an issue attending such events alone but can't speak for the ladies on that subject. So, with regards to dating, and no reflection otherwise on my social circle, it is the desert of the real, with the occasional mirage popping up.
GravityMan Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 A diverse social circle, ideally consisting of both male and female friends, is generally a big influence in one's dating life in multiple ways. Once someone is finished with school (e.g. college), if he/she isn't already in a committed relationship, one of the most common ways to find someone to date is through mutual friends and acquaintances. A nice social circle can open doors for you that would have otherwise remained shut. Many people, especially women, are more likely to let their guard down a bit when they meet you through a mutual friend either directly or via a party or other social gathering...versus a cold approach on the street, the bus or in the grocery store. And finally, if you don't have a social circle (especially if you're in your 20s or 30s) - that will be seen as a red flag to many people of both genders; they may think something's "off" about you. Necris should consider expanding his social circle.
somedude81 Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 From elementary till my first years of college I had a social circle that was just a bunch of nerdy guys. None of us dated or new any girls. Somehow you need to get into a social circle that is mixed guys and girls. Good luck with that because I still haven't figured out how to do it.
PogoStick Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Start LARKing/cosplay. Ha, some hot nerdy girls there! Coed volleyball = game over
sillyanswer Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 in my group of friends there is one girl, and she remarked on how none of us know any women But wait... she's a woman... and she's in your group of friends... so all of you know a woman... yet she says you don't know any women. My head asplode. Maybe she knows other women and can introduce you to them. Ask her.
