Where to meet men?

I recently moved out on my own to start graduate studies and I work in a pretty small department. This means that unlike undergrad where there were people people EVERYWHERE, it's really tough to meet new faces in my day to day life now. I was wondering if anybody has some suggestions for good places to go to meet men? I'm pretty tired of the bar scene - too meat market! And online dating is just dissappointment after disappointment for me. Any other ideas out there?

Thank you!

How about through activities that you're interested in? What do you like to do in your spare time? Chances are, there's some sort of co-ed club or group doing at least one thing you like to do. Or, maybe there's a social club in your area. Here in Seattle, we have one called "Space City Mixer"--they have all sorts of activities going on and it's a great way to meet people (although I have met more female friends than guys to date, but other people have met dates through the group). You might google it to see what I'm talking about.
