So where to meet men?
| Mon, 07-02-2007 - 4:00pm |
I've been reading the thread about the 30 something men dating the 20 something girls. And the biggest problem I saw was meeting people. I recently moved to Philadelphia and I'm educated, intelligent, whitty, fun, never married, not sure if I want kids, 29, blond, attractive, and self sufficient. The only people who seem somewhat inclined to talk to me are 21 year old frat boys or boring overweight individuals who don't seem like they've ever spoken to a woman let alone had a date.
So where do you meet men?
PS: This is a discussion for all, not necessarily just for me to gain some insight.

Figure out the kind of man you want to attract and make yourself attractive to that sort.
Want an activist type - get involved in local politics and volunteer for campaigns.
Want an art afficanado - go to gallery openings.
Philly has so much to offer - I can't imagine it would be too difficult to get out and about to meet people. And remember - even if you go to say, a charity benefit and are seated with a bunch of older women - they have grandsons, sons and brothers who need to be fixed up!

LOL. I had an older gentleman (65+) start chatting me up on the treadmills at the gym. Turns out, he was trying to snag a date for his son. So, not a bad suggestion. :)
There was also an article in Forbes (I think) this month about "how to marry a billionaire." It talked about where to go and what to do to attract a rich guy. It was pretty funny in a tongue-and-cheek way - but it's true that you need to go where the men are, and think about the kind of man who would be attracted to each place/event.
Some places I've met men:
- standing at a crosswalk
- shopping at the pet store
- business networking events
- business dinners/luncheons for various organizations
- set up by parents' friends (not recommended)
- through friends (easier when I was younger, more unmarried friends)
- bookstores
- coffee shops (usually old guys, but an occasional cutie)
- wine tastings
