Where would one go to meet singles in person?

[Bman555]

There is a place to find food
Place to find clothes
Place to find movies

Where dose one go to find singles? or friends? or a place to network?
Where does one go to mingle?

Ok there is the internet but lets face it, it's not face to face!

I am sick of meeting in bars, I'm sick of meeting in random places.

So what to do? Where do we go? any thoughts?

This place doesn't exist. Civil society has crumbled, and most people don't have any time or more importantly desire for forming new relationships (they want the results of forming relationships.... but they don't want to sacrifice the time needed to achieve them). That's why unless you are extremely smooth and charming, approaching strangers in public will either make you seem creepy, or it will make you seem creepy if you try and ask her out after talking to her for two minutes about the weather.

It is interesting how much these questions come up though. We have facebook, cellphones, and all this BS technology that's supposed to connect us, but people are usually lonelier than ever. People were able to make friends, find mates and have sex for 1000's of years with no trouble. Now all of a sudden, noone knows how to make friends, people can't find a girl/boyfriend, and we have people spending millions on gimmicks teaching them how to approach women and become a player, or how to land a husband. Something is seriously wrong here.

I assume that you're talking about meeting single women.

Bars suck for meeting women. It's too loud, you're in competition with "players" and many of the women have absolutely no intention of meeting someone to go home with. The only reason they dress so provocatively is to out-do other women. (It's a highly competitive sport, but has zilch to do with meeting men.)

There are a bazillion ways to meet women. Take a night class. Cooking classes are good and if all else fails you might even learn something. Join business networking groups, or organizations like Toastmaster's. Work your friends and become friends with their friends.

Take a look here, it's a good start.

Couldn't say it much better, last few girls I met were too occuppy with Facebook and MSN messenger that it actually turned me off.

Ok say a place like that did exist? a place where you can meet hundreds women.... women who are looking to date, make friends or just build a network... would you ever consider going?

If you the answer is no? Why?

exactly

what people are looking for (and why all this crap is selling) is the perfect mate, your personal yes-man or yes-woman, who also happens to be totally hot, btw

somehow, we think that using the internet or attending self-help seminars will help us find these magical people ... it won't

everyone is different in every different way

if you're really looking for someone, you'll have to give and take ... and people don't want to give ... hence, we remain alone in our fantasies

awesome ... i impress even myself

that could've been a fight club speech ... lol

How many more people do you think will go to an event that will allow you
to meet hundreds of women, who are smart, good looking well off and looking for the same type of person.

Really how many?
