Everyone always says the worst place to meet men are in the bars. Whenever i pick up a magazine it says look for men in the grocery store, the bookstore,coffee shop,the gym ect. Well i've been to all those places many a time and i never meet men there. I've cruised up and down the aisles looking for the potential hottie to help me reach that item i can't get to. Never happens. Most the women in my life have met their significant others in bars and they're good guys! I'm curious.... have any of you ladies had luck in the oddest places to meet men? Butcher shop? Pet store? Or is that all a bunch of hooey?

In my experience I have met most of the significant others in my life at yes at Bars. The guy I am dating now I met at a local watering hole that I frequent. (Think of Cheers in the Deep South). I was on my way to go bowling with my best friend and her kids, this guy and I chatted for about 5 mint and I had to go. Well low and behold he showed up at the Bowling Alley and we have been seeing each other since. I think the key to meeting men is not to try so hard. Maybe there is an aura we give off when we are actively searching. Relax and let it come to you. We seem to find what we are looking for when we are not looking for anything. Good Luck.

I think it all really depends on the bar you're looking at/talking about. Many of the neighborhood bars around me (more casual, laid back) seem to have a pretty decent clientele. If you're looking at clubs or even more formal urban/downtown bars, you're probably going to be less likely to meet a nice guy; nice guys typically don't go dancing for the hell of it, nor do many of them seem to get all dressed up just to hang out with each other (like we women do).

I've thought about why magazines say that and I think it's because men who are in bars are usually just looking to have a good time. Your friends who met their husbands there are some lucky gals. I've personally met all of the men I've been involved with either at college or through other friends. I don't know about the grocery store or the beach or the gym but I promise you one thing, I always keep my eyes open !
