How to meet men.
Ha. From a very good friend of mine...her list of ways I can meet a good, date-able man:
1. hang out at local hospitals so that you can hit on residents and young drs.
2. start going out in [nearby major metropolitan city] more than [suburban sprawl pseudo city in which you live] (just to get out of the rut)
3. start reading at starbucks (the good location ones) or start hanging out at barnes and noble
4. take a karate class (i crack myself up)
5. take a grad class somewhere in a subject that you like
6. walk around naked everywhere
7. if 6 isn't possible, then walk around in your bikini and heels everywhere

1. I'll pass.
2. Done that. Nothing happens.
3. See 2.
4. I take tae kwon do...most of the guys there are types I see as "friends," not potential dates.
5. I wouldn't mind taking a grad class, but the result would either be a combination of 2/3 and 4.
6. Ha....
7. ...ha.
Reluctant dater are there any more advanced suggestions? I've tried 1 (in college, I swear), 2 (because you're not going to meet a man in your livingroom - unless we're talking about Match), 3 (all I met were crazies), 5 (I'm in grad school and have dated too many classmates), and 6/7 are just not possibilties right now given my holiday weight-gain.
Maybe other readers have suggestions?
Ha!! I'll help out with #1!! Maybe you'll have to start meeting me at work for dinner. =)
Lug around a case of beer wherever you go?
Walk around proclaiming that you have a boyfriend?
Don tee shirt with words "sucker" printed boldly across chest.
You know, that beer idea might just work!
Man, I WORK in Barnes and Noble and don't meet anyone.
And 90% of my classes are girls. UGH!
6 & 7: VERY dangerous. Think about the ratio of good looking people to "please don't show me that naked" around here, and then imagine what your day would be like if everyone did it. Scary.
i've enrolled myself in a grad class next year so will see how that goes. as for #6 & 7, give it a go and let us know haha!
as possibly the only guy who's commenting, #3 and #5 are good options, if that's your thing. cafes are always great spots. i can't attest to #2, since i've always lived in cities (and hate the suburbs). there are a lot of co-ed sports leagues in most cities, and that's an excellent way to meet people and have fun at the same time.
frankly, a lot of these suggestions depend on the type of guy you want to meet. ideally, your interests and this other person's interests wouldn't be so different; it seems like too much work to go out of your way just to meet someone. perhaps pursue interests that interest you and then determine how guys could also be doing that?
