Posted: 12/26/2007 5:53:51 AM | | I'm not a fan of bars either unless she's right beside me,I'll smile and say hi.I think joining something intereactive is the KEY,I'd stay away from anything static where your just sitting ,like classes or lectures,anything with chairs sucks,lol.you can't beat dance classes,once I took ballroom dance,the instructor told us to "look your partner in the eye"while we danced,that was a little uncomfortable,lol but the hand contact at times was interesting,the women in the class would size up the men to see who they were interested in,was kind of fun,there was this one hot babe in the class ,well,I won't go there,lol,chow | |

Even when I go to a Happy medium...there are some functions I go to that don't have the word "SINGLE" in it....so there's some place that are just "Social clubs or groups" but most of the people there are single.
Had someone say to me that "Well, it might as well be a meat market anyways" regarless of what they call it ". lol

Unless I was getting paid to go as staff, there would be no point, same as the singles parties I worked at in the past. There are no POF parties that I know of in my area, just reminds me of those coffee meets AOLers used to do in the 90s. People that aren't inherently social but all want to get out of the house because they hate being alone. LOL
some are kayaking hiking, camping, etc.
I'd probably be more open to events where there's some other purpose in mind, such as fitness, dance classes, cooking, whatever and the backdrop is that all are single...I'm more likely to focus on the activity than the participants primarily. | |

Posted: 12/26/2007 7:34:25 AM | The best place to meet someone is a location you would enjoy revisiting once you are a couple - which is why I don't like to go to bars, because that misrepresents who I am. It send the message to the man that I would enjoy going out to bars when we become a couple and nothing could be further from the truth.
For me...a Barnes & Knobles bookstore is the best place to go. A) because I enjoy reading and would very much like to be with a man who also enjoys reading. B) because I enjoy shopping at B&K and would like to browse with my boyfriend once we become a couple. C) It's just a cool place to go, hang out, have coffee, read, check out the passers-by.
So...my advice is to always stick to locals/activities you enjoy or would like to start frequenting. | |

True...but chances are...you're sizing the bachelor's up, right? *wink*
As I do with the ladies in such groups (single groups or not). I'm always on "Checkin them out" mode as a single man...its just instinct with singles....unless your dead. LOL
I'm SINGLE, not DEAD!  | |

Very true - I like to approach and ask the ones I like tho - looking confused will bring way more than I need over, and then it's a weeding out process. I've had that happen when I wasn't confused, lol. Just walk down an aisle that you see a man in you like, and then look at the product perplexed when near HIM...if nothing happens you can always pick two things up and excuse yourself and ask what the difference is between them or whatever.
True...but chances are...you're sizing the bachelors up, right? *wink*
Anywhere I go and see a cute guy I like, I'll size him up - that's the thing, there's no "designated" place for that, it's just an everyday thing (when I see something I like). So for something like that, I'd actually like to do something productive since I run into a ton of males in my regular daily travels.

Posted: 12/26/2007 11:38:47 AM | I have helped gobs of women at home depot and being the cement head I am, I am more focused on what she is asking about than her.
next time i will think twice. Duh on me.
she should have asked for the hammer section.
and amen to euro-girl. if its not hard and somewhat awkward, I'm probably better off bagging it. when I am not nervous somewhere inside, i probably dont really care and am probably full sh-t. | |

Posted: 12/26/2007 7:54:01 PM | Best place to meet some one other then the Internet? How about lecture series events at local universities and schools?? I go to those a lot, and I meet some really great people that way!!
If you're a leftist, and want to meet other leftists, I suppose that might work. Personally, I'd rather walk across hot coals in my bare feet, than to go out with the women who attend lectures given by the moonbat progressives who give lecture series at universities these days.
For me, a woman I'd meet at Wal-Mart would be a much better choice, simply because, just by shopping there, she's resisting the politically correct group think. :applause: | |

Posted: 1/8/2008 8:01:13 PM | I have found the best place to meet men is at the Future shop or any electronics superstore on the weekend. : )) I ask questions and take on a tourist approach because I am genuinely interested and don't know alot about buying this kind of stuff. Most men consider themselves electronics experts and have definate opinions about what is bigger and better. They wiill be only too pleased to give you their opinion and it often it is a great way to strike up a conversation and you may learn something to boot. | |

Posted: 1/9/2008 5:57:08 AM | | Men are everywhere. However, the good looking and interesting ones are not. I've met men everywhere from a grocery store to a Walgreens parking lot. It all depends on the day and the vibe I'm sending out. | |

Posted: 1/9/2008 7:51:50 AM | | depends on what "meet" means. Sure I see a lot of men in Lowe's/Home depot.. But often they there are either with wives, or contractor/laborer types it seems. Yeah, they look at me, but...Nothing wrong with that, but I'd prefer to meet a professional. Walmart - family guys with carts full of groceries, topped with diapers and baby formula. I do not think I ever actually "met" anyone like that. Couple of times guys started chatting with me and acted interested, but they were aparently very recent immigrants with broken English | |

| Good one dude
Posted: 1/9/2008 9:51:46 AM | That one made me laugh :-)
