I have a fair amount of gorgeous model friends. Every single one of them will not look twice at a guy who tries to pick them up at the gym, any kind of store, a library, etc. They seem to meet most of their guys at parties. ---

\ Abortion clinics. \ In my _very_ limited experience, in a dorm. Of course, I’m 19, so I haven’t explored the overflowing barrel 'o chicks called the “bar.” 😃 ---

fashion-industry parties, mostly. But you don’t _have_ to be in the industry to show up at one of these. There was one a few nights ago that had a “tropical” theme. Aside from the expected people, there were also animal trainers for all the birds and monkeys they had around. Another one had magicians that went around and entertained people. So you could try and angle it that way. Also, if I remember correctly, Vice ( [www.viceland.com](http://www.viceland.com) ) once had a “How to …” guide for sneaking into things like this. So check that out. ---

In my city the women say there aren’t enough men to date & the men say there aren’t enough women to date. Seems to be a communication issue here? Plenty of women in sign class & if the instructor forces the students to pair off & practice together you can really get to know people that way esp. if you are shy. There are plenty at [match.com](http://match.com) & [craigslist.org](http://craigslist.org) & your library & laundromat & church & on the street…etc How about getting a job as cable installer? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Enderw24 \*So where’s the best place to mack da hos? In Chicago? Late at night along West Madison St. They wear short little skirts and walk like they have to pee. They are so friendly though, they are quick with a way and a smile.

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Ms. Fisk \* > I think bars are terrible places to meet girls…or maybe they are just terrible places to meet guys. \*\* I have to agree. It’s easy to meet girls in them but the quality is usually a little shady. A you meet in a bar is usually never as good looking, interesting and charming the next time you meet her when you are sober. My question is, where do people meet girls in Smalltown, USA? I live in NYC so there are pretty much girls everywhere. What do people do if they live out is the suburbs? ---
