One of the best places if found to meet women and make friends was to take up square dancing. You get to mix with 7 others peoplo for a short pirod of time and if you like someone you got a good chance to dance talk with them for more dances that night.

Yea lot of peoplo say square dancing is for squares but it fun. Find a single class to go to.

LOL@gotapulse. :)

So many people suggest all these classes. In the immortal words of Rodney Dangerfield...................Hey teach. Call me sometime when you have no class. :)

I would suggest the produce aisle of the supermarket. Please refer to the no class remark above.

I thank you. :)

Another dance class vote, I took Swing dance lessons for almost 2 yrs. to get really good at it. Lots of single people in the classes.

Just make sure you dont meet someone at a place that is totally out of character for you...if you are not an avid reader, dont try to pick up the chic reading at Barnes and Noble...If you dont like kids, dont try to pick women up at little league games....etc

Don't overlook "meetup groups" like meetup. c o m

That way you can hook up with a group of strangers in your area who you know you share an interest with. Some will be single, some won't, but all are probably there to meet new people and friends, and a few may be also looking for that special guy/girl.

Problem with "singles groups", is that you likely share little in common aside from that you're all single, and even sites such as this only open you up to that elusive few who want to brave the world of meeting by internet.

weddings and funerals are best, of course, that takes making friends, never a strong suit here in southeast florida.

OP, since ur a guy, heres some tips that really do work, they have helped me very well thru the years.
1. girls love to dance, so you want to go dancing, if you don't know how to dance, ask your mom or sister to teach you. This is one of the best ways because most guys egos stop them from dancing so you have great pickings.
2. spend weekends at the beach, tons of girls go in groups and they are looking for fun things to do.
3. join a ymca ywca and hang out on the girls nites, one nice thing here is most all of the girls will be in good shape.

Dear, dear! If I showed up in a maternity ward looking for a man, they would put me in the Guiness book of records. I am only 89 years old and getting younger by the day. But not that young, please. If I remember right, before the baby you are cussing the man that put you in that position. Then blessing him after the baby comes.

How about women's prisons ? Would they post a list of release dates ? I would not want to hang around all day for nothing.

I've taken dance classes. Very few people actually want to get together/hang out or practice outside of class.

Group activities such as hiking clubs, skiing clubs, scuba clubs, motorcycle clubs, card clubs, and many many more.

The problem with much of this is having the time, money and energy to do it with a number of people that may or may not be at your level of expertise in that area, and the effort you must put forth over a long period of time in order to "hook up" with the right ones that fit with you.

I have found it much easier to just go by myself and do the things I like to do, and hope every so often, that I might run into someone that will enjoy it as much as I do, be as active, free, and good looking enough to have my attention on multiple levels and in multiple ways, as I hope I do for them as well.

Dating is just a "crap shoot" at best, but if you roll those "sevens", you just might be lucky enough to win........ This could happen within a group activity, alone, or on a dating site like this one.

Just my opinion......

The studio that I take dance classes actually hosts socials (play music, people come to dance). Another studio I know host such socials/practices weekly. I have seen a lot of people go there, not an atmosphere of a club (they sell beer/wine, but no smoking and not as crowded).

any type of activity (save for playing pool or watching football) - there are typically more women involved. Been to a gym recently - also saw more women it seems. Body pump class - about 15 women and one guy Cycle class - 80% women

Anywhere you go where there is people.
You can strike up a conversation standing in any line.
Holding the door for a woman, at any place. (guarantee she will smile and thank you)
I think Dog Park was a good one. Especially here in Phoenix where the weather is always nice. If you don't have a dog, borrow a friend's for a day on the weekend.

I have always thought that the dog park is a good place to meet women, when my dog was alive i never took him to one, i guess i didnt know where any were.

And I have heard that trying to meet a women at a gym wasnt a good idea
