Produce section in the grocery store, frozen food aisle ain’t bad either. Sunday evenings around here it’s practically a swinger’s club, I do live in a youngish area though. I’ve done so-so with the bookstore/coffee shop thing. If you \*\*really \*\* want to hit jackpot, find out if there’s a local art college in your area, and then find the nearest coffee shop. It’s always a nest of hotties. ---

[QUOTE=Kythereia] Come on! :mad: /QUOTE] Well what do you think I’m _trying_ to do?! Seriously, though, it seems that where I am now, people marry young. Real young. As in, graduate from high school, get married the next day. I moved here about half a year ago, and I am not too happy about it. At the place I work at, i have noticed exactly two attractive females my age who do not have a wedding or engagement ring. I’m noly 23 fer christ’s sake! And, given my complete terror of the opposite sex, I am not likely to engage either of them in anythign so much as a conversation anytime soon, let alone try for some kind of romantic entanglement. ---

> [@](#): > > **BrainGlutton** said: > Just out of curiosity, does one find a lot of women, single or otherwise, at the firing range? (I’ve never been to one.) Not in my experience, and most of the ones who I have seen there are usually there with their boyfriend or husband. There have been very few women that I’ve seen at the firing rante that are there solo. ---

Considering that at least two marriages between European Doper-guys and West Coast American Doper-babes have resulted from the SDMB, I’d say it often gets _way_ past thoughts. ---

I’m single, female, and I like to cook and bake. But I’m probably far too old for the majority of single guys here. Anyone here that’s around fifty? 😉 ---

These are excellent ideas. We should build on these, create a sticky, and leave our legacy to humanity. With almost anything creative, you’ll find tons of single women. Any classes on spiritualism, yoga, meditation, cooking classes, health food stores, home repair clinics for women, interior decor/fabric stores, pet training classes, pet stores, etc. Volunteer organizations are a great idea. ---

I think my problem is I have been socializing with the same people for over a decade, and that dating pool is dead as Dillinger now. At work, everyone is either female or taken. That’s about it. I wouldn’t begin to know how to pick up a guy in the grocery store or anywhere else, if he were a stranger. The best way to meet people is through friends. Mine are fired! ---

> [@Rubystreak](#): > > The best way to meet people is through friends. Mine are fired! Same here. After three (or was it four? You understand, surely, that these aren’t the kinds of things I want to remember too clearly) bad set-ups, I let it be known that no one needs to do me any more favors of the set-up kind. I hadn’t asked for them in the first place; these people had been suggested to me as people I just had to meet. So I can rule them out, apparently. \*\*taxi78cab, \*\* that’s part of the problem. This place abounds with interesting and attractive gentlemen, but they never seem to be in my locality. And somehow I think announcing right away that I’m willing to relocate seems a little scary. 😃 ---

There is only one thing worse than being set up, and that is not being set up. ---

> [@Rubystreak](#): > > The best way to meet people is through friends. Mine are fired! Friends? Perhaps. But the surest way to meet **men** is by way of a boob job. I’d suggest a largish C or smallish D, depending on frame size and time frame. Yes, it’s a sad indictment of contemporary American society, but you’ll be on more radars than rain above the plains of Spain. ---

That’s not TOO far from western Massachusetts, is it? Yes? Crap. Oh, and drunken hookups are definitely a turn-off for this single college boy. More is better 🆒. Also, I’m a tea drinker.
