Alright, i know that there are plenty of other very similar and interesting threads like this one, but i figured a centralized one would settle my question better.
I know most people are gonna claim that goin to a bar or club is the best place ot meet girls (and might actually be), and around where i live the beach is the best place, but i figured there are plenty of other places that i havent really tried.
Usually, i get hit on girls that i go out with. this might be because quite a few people have told me i should consider modelling (boy im egocentric ), but anyways… im 19 yo and the only problem me and my friends ever have of getting up with girls is the meeting/finding them.
So if u have a good suggestion of where they are hiding, tell me the location.
volunteer with children once a week/month. You will be the only male above 18 there. Trust me, I’ve worked with kids since getting out of college, and I’ve already worked more than one place that had no male employees whatsoever. sigh.
I have found a good place. (for me at least). The place is at your gym (school, University, public, etc.)
I find that most of the ppl that are there are active, outgoing, which in my case is the people i want to meet
Volunteer for a political campaign. Volunteer for Habitat for Humanity. And church! It’s surprising how many good single people you can meet at church.
Do an Arts (or similar) course at University. Even the average-looking guys in my course have girls crawling all over them, and one model-attractive guy has a female fan club with him everywhere he goes.
I second the gym, although I’ve noticed at mine there are more males than females.
That only works if you believe the religion taught at the church.
Besides, I always found it a little crass to go to church/temple/synagogue/circle/whatever to ‘pick up chicks’; I always figured the purpose of going there was to share in the solace and beauty of the religion found there…
Hmm. I met my last girlfriend (too may years ago) at animation school… and ten years ago when I was taking an evening class at OCAD, there was a breathtakingly-beautiful Brasilian woman in my class. We actually began to become friends a little, but she smoked. Dammit.
I think I need practice in drawing. Time to look for some classes.
Get involved with a church group. They always have “single” activites and it is a great place to meet someone. It is a safe enviroment and you don’t have to worry about jerks around you.
There are lots of fun activites to do like skydiving, dances, meals out, museums, shows, much more. And there is always an abundance of people to meet and greet.
Yea at my college it is easier to meet girls, so taking up those classes u mentioned would probably work.
Here’s my situation: Im home from school for the summer. My home town is rather small except when summer roles around (b/c it is a beach community), and most tourists that come rent houses… not hotels or motels.
Oh and i do go to the gym, but there are rarely that many tourist girls that go there… all the ones i do see there i have gone to school my whole life, which isnt bad but i wouldve already dated them if i was interested.
Going to church things does work… my last girlfriend i met at a church function. we both had relatively similar beliefs on religion too. and i barely believe at all! But yea im not too up fo rgoin to church and boring the bejesus outta myself just to meet a girl. that fuction i went to consisted mostly of my friends.
Oh yea, i like to surf and practically just chill at the beach. this is the best method i know of.
But hey this isnt just a best places for me to meet girls, this is a what do u consider are the best places to meet/find girls. Sure go ahead an help me find a place, though your personal favorites that you use im interested in too.
I have somehow taken many dance classes (10? I don’t remember) in various venues (community college, dance center, nightclubs, etc.) and various genres (except Country - do wanna go there).
Invariably:
There will be many couples, usually for wedding practice (or just the hell of it) - more power to them, but it doesn’t help me.
More single men than women. Yes, you heard me right.
The women, on average, will be significantly older than the men (by 2 or more decades).
Any single women near my age range (at the time - ah hell, any women under 55 at any time) will invariable start missing/drop out of the remaining classes - it’s a real hoot to have to wait in line to dance with one of the remaining single women for a handful of minutes - yep, that’s how you learn your steps.
On the plus side, in spite of all these impediments, I did learn how to do ‘close dancing’ (latin, lindy, ballroom, and so in) in a halfway decent manner. On the minus side; http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=199772&pagenumber=2

As a slight variation, look for clubs that offer something like Latin Night and have free dance lessons beforehand. My wife and I did this on a whim. There were about 20 people taking the lesson, and 18 of them were women. Whenever my wife sat down, someone would immediately run up and want to practice their newly learned moves. Of course, I had to keep dancing till my feet fell off, but I learned the moves!
As for bars, I think that some can be good places, but the singles bar meat-market places are probably not the best. I always liked the hangout places where people are not really there to hook up.
If none of that works, try Brasil. I found the women there to be very friendly.
