Posted: 8/10/2007 6:41:56 PM | That's a terrible idea. Who the hell has the time to "Pick up" someone in a grocery store anymore? It's not like the days when they were smaller and scattered around more so that it wasn't as crowded. It's all superstores now with pushy people, massive carts hording the isles, long insufferable line ups because some old lady has to take out her pennies and give the cashier the exact amount...while your frozen stuff is melting and your buns are going stale from the time passing. Picking up people isn't like it use to be...the world changes rapidly and unfortunately so too do people's dating habits.  | |

Posted: 8/10/2007 6:51:09 PM | A city of almost 6 million people and there are no single guys living there? Maybe the question should be more, 'where are the single guys who would be interested in a person like me?' I'm not saying the person who asked is a bad person or not worth dating, I'm just saying sometimes we set such high standards for ourselves that we miss out on meeting some really wonderful people who we might end up being happy with if we just gave them a chance.
Or you can be like me, hold out for someone incredible, and get really REALLY LUCKY .... | |

It's about seeing exactly what's already in front of you! It's about looking at yourself and seeing how your selection process may be interfering with your ability to connect with someone! Great people are everywhere - it's up to you to give them a chance! | |

It's an honest and valid question that a LOT of women are asking so don't shoot the messenger. If you don't believe me, go to any of the major singles events in this area and you will find the place PACKED with women and relatively few men. Same story at the clubs and even events that one would think would appeal to men like beach volleyball and sea kayaking. | |

Posted: 8/11/2007 1:53:30 PM | Well, most men are either too busy with their jobs and toys... alot of men whom have already been in a marriage may be just not able to date due to the fact their ex wife is draining their bank account for support and trying to get visits with the children ...
It can truly make a man turn away from trying to meet another woman for a serious relationship. I can honestly say the best thing I chose was not to get married and enjoy all of my lean years. I'm still going out and having a good time.
So maybe there are alot of single men, but most of them want either something that is hard to find. Or just do not want to bother with the headache of another relationship.
I know most of my friends whom work their asses off tell me they wish they could find the time or afford to date. Society is geared now to working the 55 hour week. | |

Posted: 8/11/2007 4:39:50 PM | That parkette he is talking about (Dunlop Park)..it is true I have seen this event where the single men just plow into the park...I have been one of them...
(Unless you were talking about the park that is north of St. Clair and east of Birchmount...people are dying to get into that one!!)
Now as for this underground highway... | |

Posted: 8/11/2007 7:56:57 PM | LETS GIVE OUR HEADS A BIG SHAKE HERE....
There are plenty of single men in toronto...myself included...but the problem with us who are not being found or discovered is that ..the GTA dating scene has turned into a neo-modern western-society courtship ritual which on purpose has been made unnecessarily complicated, too often misleading, and superficially driven.
When you say where are all the single men in toronto hiding, are you saying you can't seem to find single men or you can't find single men you find dateable. There is a big difference.
I think some single men on here find that statement very ignorant. I know I do...
If you want to find single men in Toronto ..goto a dance bar or nightclub on a Thur,Fri or Sat night and watch those groups or pairs of men who are mulling around the dance floor nursing their drinks staring at the girls who brought dates...(these guys are not hard to miss)
Goto one of those single dances advertised on the newspaper and notice the 100-200 guys mulling around alone or in pairs embarassingly averting striking up conversations with dozens of married woman who came there with their husbsands to a singles dance. (these too are very obvious to notice)
And oh yes...there is that parkette at Donlop Park...a definate bonified ROOSTER PARTY...
So to the blind women in Toronto who ask this question and want answers...Let us the male seeing eye hounds of Toronto enlighten the path to your salvation...

Posted: 8/12/2007 5:17:35 PM | No one is being blind here or putting anyone down. If there are plenty of single men in Toronto, one would never knwo it. When one goes to event after event and finds the place crawling with women and very few men there, it doesn't seem like there are a lot of single men around. Whether it's dance clubs, singles events, even weddings, there seem to be TONS of single women but few single men. Some friends didn't even bother having dancing at their weddings as it would have been couples dancing and a whole bunch of single women just sitting around. Not a single man in sight.
As for why grown men bother to go to a function that involves dancing if all t hey intent to do is mill around , nurse their drinks and not approach anyone, that's a topic for another thread that is currently active so I won't go there now. I will happily discuss it with you over there.
To summarize where we are at so far, here are some of the places where there are a lot of single men:
- professional IT events
- On the Curve in Mississauga
- groceries
- laundromats
- gyms
- sports bars
- mountain biking
- Muay Thai (kickboxing)
-Plenty of Fish meet and greet
- The Docks for volleyball (though last time I went to an event there men were few and far between)
- events that involve sports, cars, technical stuff,
- the beach, the cottage, the mountains, rollercoasters
- Home Depot
- Canadian Tire
- Go Train
I"ll add a couple:
- business class on foreign and domestic airlines
- business class lounges at airports
- executive lounges and business centres in upscale hotels
You get to meet executives, celebrities, athletes, etc. Only problem is that you are away from home and the men you meet are also usually away from home. So, the best you can hope for is a long distance relationship unless you are prepared to relocate really fast. One can meet some wonderful men that way (even some famous ones) and have some fabulous dates though. Now if it would only be possible to find out where to meet men like that in Toronto, that would be great. | |

Let me save you some of that expensive airfare and wasted airmiles your proposing on chasing those armani suits at ritzy hotels around Canada..
Instead of criticizing those grown men who mill around at dance clubs nursing their drinks...why not strike up a conversation with one of them....I can bet you dollars to donuts they are gonna be 99.9 % single ..These guys who mill maybe shy or maybe would like a sign from some eligible woman that she is available and interested instead of guessing which rejection line they are gonna get..try not going to these places in "hen" cliques of 5-10 women. It really doesnt send the right message that your approachable.
I am a IT professional...who goes to IT events...and let me tell you..they are certified Rooster Parties...but still to this date...I dont see any women cruising for men...your lucky to find women in IT at all going to these event, there are few but not many.
And lets be realistic...no artsy-trendy-metro girl is gonna waste her time enduring a bunch of plastic pocket protecting geeks babble to her about firewall and wireless security breakthroughs while keeping their drool off her shoes. Todays single Toronto woman seems to want more entertainment value than whats offered on a Microsoft technical manual.
The next time your at the Docks...go at night....you should find plenty of the shy... drink nursing millers there that I keep talking about...All this struggle to jet set to ritzy hotels around when all you have to do is break the ice with a drink nursing miller...
Yes you will find single guys at convenience stores...Future Shop...Best Buy...Walmart...and even at your local dollar store....but no one is going there to pick up people...single men are not hanging out in droves to find out who is available...all those places you mention are transient except gyms, laundromats,fitness clubs.
If you want to meet single men...find where they congregate in droves and linger for hours at a time.... guys dont tend to linger at laundromats,grocery stores, Home Depot or Canadian Tire for hours at a time...we tend to be very focused on finding what we need and get out quick.
You will find single men in these places..
Downtown bars/nightclubs/restaurants...
Singles Dances.....
downtown/midtown coffee shops...especially late evenings...
Pubs,
The beaches in and around toronto...no need to go upnorth.
Internet Cafes..
Movie Threatres (standing in line for your tickets)
And yes...lets not forget...the internet dating sites...
May my enlightenment be your salvation...
OH ...P.S all those events you keep mentioning that you goto...I have been to them for years...I usually find more couples and and single guys than available women...I have yet to find a HEN party to crash. | |

Posted: 9/30/2007 10:12:48 AM | | Sorry girls they are all hanging out at my place just kidding. Toronto is full of single men you could meet them anywhere. I think where the problem lies for some women is we have this idea that men are suppose to approach us..I think that's because of our parents...I remember my mom would always say let the man come to you, let the man call you...you never ask a guy out it’s not right. I totally agree the advice or more like the lies our mother told us. (Totally wrong). My advice to all; is if you see a man that you think you could like or you like the way he looks, walk right up to him and say hi. If you're the shy type pretend you don't notice him walk up and bump right into him..Say you’re sorry and start small talk. If he turns out to be married or has a gf move to next guy that catches your eye. If your just standing there wishing that single guy is going walk up and sweep you off your feet...you might want to take you head out the clouds and pinch your self on reality check it does not work that way any more. | |

Posted: 9/30/2007 12:18:23 PM | This is a tiresome question...
The Single Men are everywhere, probably more so than the Single Women.
Maybe you should take a longer look at your preferences and maybe try to trim some of the unimportant restrictions.
As for where specifically they are... who knows. If that was a known fact, there would be no need for sites like this. | |

Posted: 9/30/2007 3:24:44 PM | | i agree with the doubts about singles in general....for me there is one more difficulty, since english is not my first language...and sometimes i feel like something between me and the others... | |

Posted: 10/1/2007 9:53:44 AM | | It seems to me that if one goes to events where females are the majority, then one must dress, act or be different as to stand out and make men notice them. By this I do not mean to suggest that one dress inappropriately or anything, just dress classy or act intelligently, etc. I have always found that when going to an even where woman outnumber the males by 10 to 1 that by standing tall and looking confident, males will be more likely to approach you. If you slouch and try to hide within the group you will always go unnoticed. Also, try to look as if you are enjoying yourself, smile. Men like a woman who has a nice smile and looks confident. | |
