He might of sensed that all i was looking to do was pick up chicks… which is a rather good plan
A few years ago one of our alternative weekly newspapers had a survey and discovered that the Best Place to Pick Up in Toronto was at the library. Yup, the library.
It’s a reference library, which means you can’t take books out, so when you had to go there you were there all day. And of course it can get boring at the library so you wander around, have cigarette breaks, sit in the lobby, etc etc - many opportunities to chat with other bored people.
And you’ve got something to talk about - “Man, I can’t believe I’m stuck here at the library, reading about Dominion-Provincial Relations in the 1800s. What are you researching?”
Spelling and punctuation class?
Not sure where you are, but the local American Cancer Society here had many benefits and dinners crawling with hotties. If you are in a summer tourist town, the bar at a local tourist restaurant may be a nice spot to strike up a conversation, while they are waiting for their seats or just drinking (TGI Friday’s, Chili’s, that sort of thing).
UncleBill didn’t you used to be a moderator?
Yea, I work at probably the busiest restuarants in my town, which is rather small. (So there isnt a Chili’s or TGIF.) Anyways, when i do work (very little or as little as possible) an ample amount of girls are present.
Well now that wasn’t very nice, was it?
besides some people like typing like this because it takes a lot less time and its almost impossible to punctuate when you’re brushing your teeth with one hand and typing with the other and run-on sentences can be lots and lots of fun and you get the idea
Personally, I’ve always found that the best places to meet new girls (as opposed to the dimly remembered ones you hooked up with as a freshman, seeing as you’re a college lad) are the ones you’d expect, but are non-alcoholic.
Find a quiet coffeehouse, bring something that will make you look artistic or creative somehow, and wait for a tug on your line… of course, you may actually have to speak to these girls to get laid, which I imagine is your goal here, and if you aren’t creative or artistic you might have to make something up.
Based on many, many years of extensive field testing, I will share with you my top 10 places to meet women;
- Walking along the street
- Petrol Station
- Shopping (works best if there are long queues)
- Internet
- A Park (borrow a friends dog or baby for best results)
- Supermarket (either fresh produce or chocolate section)
- Coffee Shop
- At Work
- A Beach
- A Bar
Well, hey, man, wherever you go, you should at least want to be there for a reason other than to meet girls. Especially if you go the political/charitable organization route. Nothing screams “desperate potential stalker” like going somewhere or doing something solely and specifically to meet girls.
Hey, i didnt start this thread solely for my purpose. I just figured it would be a good idea to have a concensus of the best places to meet/find girls. In my community, there are different places to meet girls than other places. For instance, cowgirl metioned the library, which is probably a great idea if you lived in a city. A couple other people mentioned the park, and this is equally just as good, well that is if your town/city has a park.sirtonyh’s top 10 list covered both cities and small towns in his response. And the point i was trying to make is just name what you consider the best place(s) to meet girls.
I’ve always thought that women didn’t like to be bothered by strangers. At the gym, they’re there to work out. At the library, they’re there to read. At the supermarket, they’re there to shop. Not to socialize. Seems to me you’d be wasting your time with most of these suggestions.
Just to give you a girl’s perspective on these things…
If someone hit on me at a bar/in the street/at the park, etc., I might be flattered but wouldn’t actually consider going out with the guy. However, if I met someone volunteering or at the library or in a class, I would be way more likely to go out with the guy. Most girls that I know (myself included) are not very likely to go out with some random person they met in the street. However, if you’re in the same class/school/club/group as someone, this makes him seem more credible and less likely to be a psychopath.
But that’s just my take on it.
Step One: Learn to play a musical instrument
Step Two: Join or start a band. Doesn’t matter how bad you are, you will meet many interesting girls. I promise.
If step two fails (like it usually does), go play at an open mic night for a few weeks. Musician=attractive, dangerous, and fun to a lot of people. I have no idea why.
Bartending school. That’s where the action is, boyo.
That would be UncleBeer. Or did I just get whooshed?
It was UncleBeer, You didn’t get whoosed, and I am an idiot.
seems to me that you can join a dance-exercise class at the gym on your way home from the library.
but what do I know about “picking up chicks”? I’m married… 
when I was single, the phrase “picking up chicks” was still cool.
Ok, what about us ridden with the terrible 20’s. I’m not in school, however I could probably take a music class or two. Are there likely to be any women my age taking these classes? If so, what time durring the day would be best to take the classes?
Do theater. Audition. Sure, it takes balls, but you’ll get used to it and then flourish.
And theater girls are the sexiest of them all. 
lindsay.reid, i just dont get that a guy just cant randomly come up to a girl, whom he thinks is attractive, and see if he can get to knwo her better (and possibly a little bit more :D)
Ive had girls come up to me out of no where and try to pick me up, and if i found them attractive, i would go. I just dont see whats wrong with doing such things. Is it for a safety reason? If so, im sure the guy would be more than willing to meet more of your girlsfriends;).
Oh and ** lightingtool **, im working on the band thing currently. We have 2 songs and know some covers, but we still need a good name for ourselves. It’ll prolly be another year before we can actually get a gig, since we all go to separate colleges. However, we (at least I) didnt start playing for that reason… playing guitar is a good way to pass some time and more challenging to sing simultaneaously
also, another one of my firends is really good at guitar and can sing too. However, he still doesnt get girls for being musically talented… so im not too sure that it this plan is failsafe.
