| Okay...Where are all the single men in Toronto Hiding? Posted: 7/29/2007 6:18:00 PM | Seriously, where do they go. This question isn't just for men. Ladies, what places have you gone where you have found that there are a lot of single men.
Invariabley unless an event is specifically designated as a "singles" event, single men seem to be in short supply. Even at singles events, women seem to outnumber men many times over. So gentlemen, other than sports bars and lap dancing places (where the place is bound to be crawling with men), where do you hang out? You're not at church and even events like sea kayaking and beach volleyballl which one would figure would appeal to men, it was all women. Where do single men who are not already dating someone go for fun on a typical weekend? Where do you hang out after work? ?
I am sure that many other women are asking the same questions.
BTW, I did a search and did not find this question anywhere. Thanks in advance for your reponses. | |

| Okay...Where are all the single men in Toronto Hiding? Posted: 7/29/2007 6:27:56 PM | | Maybe they're not all in Toronto....but outside of it. Heh! It's like single men living beyond Toronto asking "Where are all the single ladies in their general area?" I'm sure many go to sport bars, hang out at the gyms...or traveling outside of Toronto to get away from the city life. Just a guess-a-mation on my part. Me, I don't hang out anywhere....I'm either at home, out shopping for something I need, going to the movies or visiting friends or relatives. Going out for fun is a matter of personal preference....not every man has the taste in what they believe is "Fun". | |

| Okay...Where are all the single men in Toronto Hiding? Posted: 7/29/2007 8:57:24 PM | I'm usually at work or at home, and if not, you can find me roaming the streets of Toronto trying to figure out where to go. Where are all the women who are friendly enough to just have general chit-chat with in Toronto? I know, that deserves another thread lol | |

| Okay...Where are all the single men in Toronto Hiding? Posted: 7/29/2007 9:09:44 PM | | I work in IT, and have a ton of single, nice, male friends and co-workers. I notice certain professions and volunteer groups tend to be quite unbalanced as far as gender goes. The thing is the places where I see that, these people also don't have a lot of free time outside of work. If they aren't at the recreational events, try the professional events. In IT, there are many groups and organizations you can go to for no cost. I'm sure there are the same sort of things for women, but I just haven't found them yet. :P | |

| Okay...Where are all the single men in Toronto Hiding? Posted: 7/29/2007 9:18:08 PM | | get out and join a group. I was swimming at a local rec center and met cool ppl men and women and now joined up Muay Thai group and it's a blast. Mind you it's a beating and i can't feel my body, but such great social gathering. Join a dance, cooking, swim, exercise or anything that interests you groups and don't be afraid to go out alone. I find i get picked up a lot more alone then with friends. Men love independence and confident women who can stand their grounds | |

Posted: 7/30/2007 4:43:47 AM | | I can't tell you who was single and who wasn't, but i did see a stadium packed with men recently at the world cup games in toronto. as someone whose interests and activities revolve in female-dominated areas, it was like something out of a mythical land...where did all these men come from????? LOL | |

| Okay...Where are all the single men in Toronto Hiding? Posted: 7/30/2007 6:13:31 AM | I went to On the Curve on the weekend. Holy moly! There were so little women and a ton of men! Not a typical cougar bar. Classy and live band. They also had a patio where you can hear yourself talk and a bar outside too. I was told my someone I met there that Friday night is the night to go there!
Otherwise try the gym! A lot of guys I have talked to belong to a gym.
Good luck!
Also try www.meetmarketadventures.com...it is single events where you can do something fun and meet other singles. I am looking into horsebackriding and BBQ Bonfire! | |

They are around the women that exude joy - happiness - confidence and a zest for life!!! They are like bees to pollen when you show the world you are a joyful soul!! I really could never understand people complaining they can't FIND single people to date - they are EVERYWHERE!!! You just have to make them want you!!! Take responsibility for your own daily life and you will get exactly what you want!!!!! ~JMHO~  | |

| Okay...Where are all the single men in Toronto Hiding? Posted: 7/30/2007 9:51:14 AM | Meet market adventures typically has a TON of women expecially at the horseback riding. If you're going for the fun of riding you'll have a great time. If you're going looking to meet someone....good luck.
On the Curve. Is that the restaurant in Mississauga? | |

| Okay...Where are all the single men in Toronto Hiding? Posted: 7/30/2007 12:59:05 PM | you rang? Im here Havent been in the GTA that much this summer as cottage life sure has been keeping me busy! So get me while im here
Some great suggestions so far and one that Fred mentioned was the meet and greets. I go to one regularly in Scarborough but there is others that happen in the GTA.
If you consider yourself shy and are lookinbg for something different than the bar scene the meet n greets (also referred to as patio nights) are a great opprtunity to meet the fine gentleman who live in the area! They have a very relaxed atmosphere and make it easier to meet the fellow Pofers.
For the most part there is an event happening in Toronto or the surrounding area every weekend also on POF.
Good luck! | |

| Okay...Where are all the single men in Toronto Hiding? Posted: 7/30/2007 2:10:11 PM | | Yes it is near Square One.(On the Curve) I have been told the owner has 2 other restaurants/bars and one is named West 50 but haven't checked it out yet. I prefer live bands at these type places. | |

| Okay...Where are all the single men in Toronto Hiding? Posted: 7/31/2007 5:43:27 AM | They AREN'T at the library! I can vouch for that!
Generally, men like sports, cars, technical stuff, beautiful women, the beach, the cottage, the mountains, rollercoasters, home depot, canadian tire, food, beer, and sex...to name a few!
Try the Hooters bar located up in the Muskokas between the hardware store and the automotive store that recently added the new adult play area like McDonalds does for kids! That would be my guess! *tongue firmly in cheek*
IF you're going to places women would go...you're probably in the wrong place! Dev | |

| Okay...Where are all the single men in Toronto Hiding? Posted: 8/4/2007 4:46:53 AM | It's interesting. We're getting some ideas on this one but not a ton of really useful ideas, particularly when it comes to social activities. Other than bars, strip clubs or places like Hooters which will attract the kind of guy that many of us are just not into, is anyone male or female going to places or participating in social activities where there are a ton of single men? Are the demographics that lopsided in Toronto? There seem to be a ton of single women almost everywhere but hardly any single men. One just does not encounter them on a day to day basis or at social activities.
By the way BNTjewels, how did you enjoy the meetmarket adventures activity. I am sure the riding was a blast. It always is but what were the demographics like. Was it the typical one guy for every 4 or 5 women? I remember going to a beach volleyball event put on by another organization and it was 1 guy for every 16 women. | |

| Okay...Where are all the single men in Toronto Hiding? Posted: 8/4/2007 5:39:46 AM | | Its not just Toronto.. i think its everywhere. I live in Barrie and when there isnt a POF party... not sure where to go... besides the Bars.. I think as we get older it gets harder , especially when you seem to be the only single person amongst your friends... so you feel your own your own alot and not sure where to go and i am not sure about others but i do have a hard time doing things on my own. | |
|
| Okay...Where are all the single men in Toronto Hiding? Posted: 8/4/2007 6:35:37 AM | have you tried grocery stores ,laundermats,and the less obvious places.we all have to eat and have clean clothes,you know.not all single men go to bars or gyms.another place could be golf courses or batting cages or tennis courts,or.....well you get what i am saying.good luck on your quest!  | |

| Okay...Where are all the single men in Toronto Hiding? Posted: 8/8/2007 8:03:11 PM | There is a parkette about two blocks south of St Clair, and again about two blocks east of Birchmount where 10's of thousands of single men of all ages, all walks of life, converge and meet every single day of the year from as early as 6 am to as late as 3 am.
I hope this helps.
Now that this secret is out, I hope I am able to keep the secret about the tunnelled highway running under Toronto that is only known by a very few privileged individuals. | |

| Okay...Where are all the single men in Toronto Hiding? Posted: 8/9/2007 9:03:52 PM | | I don't exactly remember where I read this but apparently men tend to mostly live outside of major cities in larger numbers as opposed to women tend to be in greater numbers in larger cities such as Toronto. I myself am down at places like the Docks playing volleyball, the waterfront, etc. The trouble with all these places is we tend to have tunnel vision or focus on catching up with friends during this time about the past week. As we get older the bar scene is typically done with a group setting which again we tend to be less focussed on the others around us. In a group setting unless you stand out in someway or initiate the introduction (easier said then done) its hard to know who's looking and who isn't. Wouldn't it be great to have a universal means of communicating in search of. On top of all this I think we all share a little anxiety with meeting someone new without knowing a little about them first. Perhaps a bit of once bit twice shy syndrome. | |

| Okay...Where are all the single men in Toronto Hiding? Posted: 8/9/2007 9:23:38 PM | | Me? I don't give a fvck, I'll talk to anyone, but it's just that, friendly talk, no pre-meditated get the number or anything, just chit-chat. The GO train does that to you after a while lol | |
