hardknocks Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 This is for the twenty and thiry somethings.. I'm at a total loss.. I can't seem to meet any women. I'm not being turned down by women - I'm not even in the same room as them! Does anybody have ANY ideas on how and where to meet single women? I work in a small office - none there. My friends don't have anybody to introduce me to. I've looked online and tried very hard .. but omg.. not working! Seriously how are you all meeting people post college etc.?!?!
guin_girl Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 I met my current guy on the alumni booster bus to one of my college football games. I have also met guys doing volunteer work with animals and pretty much at all sporting events. Get involved in outside activities and you will meet like minded individuals. Ask friends if they know anyone that you might like to meet.
Lauriebell82 Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 i met my boyfriend at the gym..do u work out? maybe join a gym or something..TONS of hot girls there.
luvtoto Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 I work in a small office - none there. No cute women UPS drivers coming to drop off or pick up a package??
Author hardknocks Posted January 25, 2007 Author Posted January 25, 2007 do guys really pick up girls at the gym?? sound a little unlikely to me
D-Lish Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 I meet guys: At the gym At the grocery store at Chapter's (bookstore) Online At pubs (not bars) It's about the approach.... do you approach women?
TheDC Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 I met my current GF in a running club, same sort of thing as a gym. It's better to join organized events that are scheduled like an intramural sports team or club. LOTS of hot ladies do yoga and since it's organized around a class you'll see the same people over and over. With me I got to know a few women in my running clinic just from talking to them before the run and then having coffee as a group afterwards. If you get in with a group its easier to see who may be interested in you in a low stress environment.
IWalkAlone Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 I'm convinced that different areas hve single people in different porportions. For example, I'm convinced that my area has few single people, and fewer single women than single men. I've done what several people here suggest and have gotten "out there" in the community to meet people. Here's what I've found... Gym: Mostly men, and the few attractive women I've seen there appear uncomfortable with the attention they get. Bicycle club: mostly men, a few wifes & girlfriends of the men in the club. Sierra Club: Mostly older people and one or two married couples my age. Toastmasters: Retired and married people. And even, yes, tennis lessons: Mostly female, but without exception in one of three catagories: Older than 50, younger than 18, or married. Yes, there are are single women here, but most of them seem to be overweight single moms. I occasionally meet ones that are not, but they usually tell me that they have a boyfriend, are "seeing someone", or are "too busy." As for the most of the others, I'm not the rugged bad boy type that these women seem to prefer, it takes me a long time to meet a new suitable person after that last relationship fizzles out.
blind_otter Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 I dunno dude, I see women everywhere! I've met past boyfriends mostly through friends, though a few of them I met at parties or bars and one or two I met through online dating.
IWalkAlone Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 I think it depends on where you live. Different areas will have different demographics. Yes, there are women everywhere where I live too, but 98 percent of them seem to be too old, too young, married, with boyfriends, or are overweight single moms.
guin_girl Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 My coworker has been meeting women at the dog park...
luvtoto Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 My coworker has been meeting women at the dog park... I call it the puppy park. haha! Yea, I met a doctor there. His dog chewed up my dog's ear. But, I got his phone number! He told me to call if there were any vet bills.

amaysngrace Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Maybe pick up a second job? Something laid back and non-commital. Go for something high turnover. I met my current BF at a garden market he was selling his tikis in. He works there for free but likes the exposure his tikis get. Just a thought.
RealTruth Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 IWalkAlone quote: Toastmasters: Retired and married people. No we're definitely at Toastmasters in droves. What the _?

Sand&Water Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 RE: I'm at a total loss.. I can't seem to meet any women. This is not a dead end. Continually Tell Yourself: This is not a dead end. The Hospital: For instance - About a year ago, had an interested doctor but I didn't make a move. Looked at his hands -no ring -which was quite odd. But my dear. He was insanely good looking for his age. The Bank: For instance - Every time I visit my bank, the man there doesn't quit looking at me. Seriously, I wish he would give it up already! When he is ready, though, he will ask. Do you see my point. I am sure, the same can be done with women. Keep approaching, and be patient. Sand&Water
