That’s the best part of being the only male warder in a women’s prison. That and the cage-fights, of course.
Honestly. WHERE ARE THEY? I am surrounded by lovely single women (including myself) but not a single men in sight. Not a one. Lead me to 'em. Please?
-
in creative courses. Sign up for a class in painting, drawing, acting, pottery…anything that isn’t sports or computers. You’ll be the pnly heterosexual male in the henhouse.
-
at church.
-
doing volunteerwork.
-
training to be nurses, elementary teachers, psychologists, doctors, secretaries or any one of the helping professions.
I gotta tell you, very few women are gonna fall for a man looking like THAT. Try taking a shower sometime. Make sure to wash behind your ears. 
We’re shellshocked and exhausted, not willing to go through another whiplash experience of “You’re the woman of my dreams – oh wait, my bad.”
What if he looked like Mel Gibson?
Then I’d run like hell. No way Mel Gibson is getting anywhere near me.
For the record, I’m here.
I’ve come to the conclusion over the years that they’re all over the damn place, but I’m not noticing them because I’m constitutionally incapable of recognizing interest when confronted with it. Seriously. It usually takes me about…oh…ten years to realize a girl is interested in me. I’m constantly have “doh!” moments about girls way back in college. I expect when I’m 40, I’ll constantly be having “doh!” moments about girls I’m meeting right now.
Seriously, someone needs to wander around and flag single people as a public service.
I hear that. My ex-wife said that she was about to get a t-shirt made saying, “I like you, Frank,” by the time I noticed she was interested.
Well, maybe not before, but now that’s it’s been mentioned here I plan to give it a shot.
How many of these threads have their been this week alone?? Someone needs to start a Doper dating service. Lots of us have met our SOs right here. There’re lots of smart, fun, single folks with wacky senses of humor. What could be better?
(Well, ok, most of the time the other person turns out to be multiple states or even countries away. So I guess it could be better. Oh well… it’s the thought that counts, right??)
Case in point: when I was a freshman in college, I knew this girl who looked like a young Mariel Hemingway. We weren’t particularly closely acquainted, but she’d started sitting with me during lunch. One time she walked into my dorm room while I was there, wandered around inside and played with my knick-knacks while giving me meaningful looks…and I didn’t realize she has hitting on me. She gave up after a few days of me not getting it. :smack: :wally:
Seriously, I wish I had a time machine and a clue stick so I could go back and whack myself a few times.
Look, you try being a goddess of love sometimes, okay?
I’m doing the best I can, you know! Come on! :mad:
I don’t know about other single women, but I can be found at the firing range or the billiards cafe.
Divorce court. Or, try hanging around an attorney’s office.
Speak for yourself.
Just out of curiosity, does one find a lot of women, single or otherwise, at the firing range? (I’ve never been to one.)
At home (live with 3 other single girls).
At school (Library School - 80% female, all the guys seem to be 10 years older than me and/or married).
At work (Reference librarian at an all-girls college.)
Dunno. I went there once. Tried to pick up a girl there. Found out she had a boyfriend. Boyfriend came in. I started talking to the boyfriend, got invited over to play Starcraft, and now he’s my best friend. And he’s explained about 100 good reasons to me that make me glad I didn’t succeed in in picking up the girl there.
We have a Borders and I go there regularly. I haven’t met any single women there though.
