The BEST places to meet/attract men...

What are some great places to meet and/or attract men, other than clubs/bars?

I'm just curious. And I'm not asking for the best places to meet men & get all the WRONG kinds of attention. I'm talking about the places the average "take her home to mama" woman should go to attract the RIGHT kind of man. Teh kind of places where alcohol, sex, & promiscuity is NOT the main thing that sells or environment!

I've heard that sports bars, gyms, & comedy clubs are excellent places for women to meet men.

I've even heard that libraries, book stores or museums are good places to meet/attract men too.

I meant to include, other places other than online dating sites too...

Not everybody goes out to clubs/bars (nightlife). Not everybody is open to/ok with dating online either.

I met my 1st love at an amusement park. Me & 2 of my friends were waiting in line. Welp, the ride we all wanted to get on would only accept 2 to a seat & of course, none of us wanted to ride alone or with a complete stranger. Soooo, I turned around & nervously asked the surprisingly hot guy behind us if he wanted to ride with me & he said yes. Maybe it was fate/destiny or hell whatever you guys like to call it, but on the ride he reached over & kissed me. Normally, I'd be offended & even confused if a man were to do this, butttt obviously I call him my 1st love for a reason. After the ride, we exchanged numbers & it was fireworks ever since!

Wow Krys, what sign was he? Ballzy! I would love to know the answer to this as well, I'm in nursing school surrounded by WOMEN! lol

Well I'm envious Krys lol. I love amusement parks and that has never happened to me. At least, I still need to get some courage lol. I've been trying to figure out where to meet more people since I live near a big city. The clubs aren't the greatest scene. Unless you find a guy that seems genuine, the guys are usually pretty sketch or something to that degree.

I think the best places to meet men are right outside your door 😛

I suppose it would depend on what your interests are. I've always met interesting people at museums, coffee houses, and even through travels.

One of my favorites was a trip I took to the Pacific Northwest. I was waiting at a transit station and the man standing next to me asked me where I was from ( I had a map of the local area in my hand..lol) Anyways, we got to chatting about travels and where we have been. I'm the type that likes the attractions that are off the beaten path and shown to me by locals. I was intrigued and humbled by his mannerisms and charm, so I asked him if he would show me around (I was nervous because I usually don't approach/make the first move first). It turned out that he is a photographer and published...very creative in the arts area and a fabulous conversationalist. He took me out for dinner and we ended up visiting a novelity shop afterwards. Another reason I remember him is because he told me he thought he was a Virgo his whole life and turns out he's a Libra. To this day, we still keep in touch.

Are we looking for a new man K7? 😛

I've had 2 guys ask me out in a carpark outside the local shops!!! Total strangers... Weirdest pickup but I went out on a date with both.

School! They're most likely smart and motivated...and of course if you're taking classes as well, they will have similar values, etc as you.

Go to the nude beach lay on youir back put your big toes behind your ears and you will attract a lot of men

Ha! My 1st love was a Libra. And if you guys know anything about me, it's that I absolutely love me some Libras! Even though we're nothing alike, it seems that Libras always know how to handle me =P

And oh NOOOOO I'm not looking for a new man! I was just curious to know where alot of people meet their significant others other than the cliche club or online dating atmosphere/setting.

So many people talk about meeting other people as if clubs/bars/online dating is the ONLY way possible to meet men & that's not true. Not everybody goes to club & not everybody wants to experience online dating.

It seems that the people who have the longest, most fulfilling relationships usually met their s/o in the most weirdest/random place! I never hear about "love stories" from 2 people who met at the club. I do hear success stories about people who met online, but still & like I said, not everybody is down for online dating. I just wanna know what THEIR SECRET is!!! If they're not meeting these men at the clubs/bars or online, then where in the heck are they meeting them at?!!!!

I've heard that it's best to go to a place/atmosphere where a particular hobby is celebrated. For instance, if a woman is really into playing pool, she should go to a pool hall. If she's really interested in snow boarding, she should go to the slopes. If she's really into bands/concerts, she should go to concerts. That way, she'll atleast know UP FRONT that her & her date/crush have atleast 1 thing in common =P

And yeah I've heard that sports bars are 1 of the best places to meet men! It's b/c most men are the most relaxed in a sport's bar. And their not too used to seeing hot chicks there so when you walk in & blow their breath away, it's almost like you gained triple attraction points from them, b/c they weren't expecting it

Comedy clubs are a great place too. Places like that represent atmospheres that are relaxing & geared towards laughter. A person is most likely to be in their most natural/relaxed state & that's always a plus when it's time to meet the potential "one" =)

The best thing you can do is be actively involved in the the things that you love doing (i.e. working out at the gym, sports, book clubs, etc.). Kind of like school, these activities bring people together in a more confined setting where you're bound to mix and mingle. Plus there is a common interest established.

However, there is no guarantee that just because you meet someone at a place other than a bar or club that they are gonna be perfect gentlemen or the marrying type. I know a couple of people that met their mates at a bar/club and it ended up working out in their favor. One couple got married and have been together for 12 years. I technically met my bf at a dive bar in june of '09, started dating that winter, and have been official since this past summer. Now we're practically married and we're the best of friends. The only thing I have to add is that he's a musician who performs live so we met on the terms that we were both doing something that we both love: music!

So go forth, do the things you like that involve others, and it will pretty much come to you. The worst you could do is make a new friend and that doesn't sound too bad either 😉

you don't have to look ELLE they come a knocking at your door!

1. College- As someone said before, there are people there who have the same direction in life as you do. You know that they're "about something".

2. Libraries/bookstores- I love...love...LOVE books. If you're a woman who says "I don't really read.", I will kindly and firmly tell you to get lost. I've been told that my good looks are going to waste by hanging around the dark corners of libraries all the time but damn it, knowledge is power!

3. Gym- Like with college, people with same direction, yadda yadda yadda

Their secret is naked yoga 😛

Oh dear... please stop recommending bookstore. (Unless you can back it up with a success story)

I was looking for a book on the weekend and some dude asked for particular Real Estate book. I had just passed it so I told him EXACTLY what shelf in what row and then he came back and started asking for a bunch of other stuff.

I didn't want to be rude in case he was practising his bookstore pickup routine on me (and hey - you never know, the next chick he tries it on may be into long haired, dishevelled unshowered chaps) so I smiled politely and got the hell out of there.

I visited 2 other bookstores and failed to locate either the book or any hot guys. Or hot chicks.

Gym is not proving a happy hunting ground - is this grounds for refunding my membership?

The courses I have taken only seem to contain females (although I remember one guy from a Saturday class and all he ever talked about was his girlfriend!!)

I am too much of a straight shooter to feign an interest in rock climbing or head gasket replacement to do some macho course where I would be the only chick.

The research continues...will report in with further news as it breaks

gas station. start keeping cash and pay inside. that way, you get to MODEL the Product (you) and they can decide if they like what they see. if they do, they will wait for you to come back out and approach you.

works every time.

My problem has always been actually approaching someone. There are people everywhere I just can't get up the nerve to talk to any of them.

channel in your inner Aries LibraSid (or borrow from one of us!!) remember your target audience is probably more nervous than you

or try "hi - look, you are so hot I was ALMOST too nervous to ask if you wanted to grab a coffee with me"



still waiting for that EDIT button....
