Where the boys are

Where the boys are

As a service to all of my friends out there who complain that they cannot meet members of the opposite sex, I am compiling a list of my favorite places to meet people. This is not necessarily just a sex thing, but just a few observations of where single people of a particular gender tend to hang out and are open to meeting other. First, for the ladies...

1. Join a co-ed sports team. I don't mean something sissy like volleyball or softball (although those teams are usually short of females too), I mean something that gets the blood and thus horomones, flowing. Try rugby or lacrosse, something with contact to give everyone a good excuse to feel each other up.

2. Physical therapy office. When you have injuries from the before-mentioned co-ed sports team (and trust me, there will be injuries), physical therapy offices are great places to meet guys. You know the guys are at least somewhat athletic and from what I have seen, the guys outnumber ladies by about 3 to 1.

3. Learn to play poker. While there are more and more women playing poker these days, it is still much dominated by men. Of course, only take this approach if you are reasonably decent at the game, otherwise you might go broke, but I will speak from experience when I say that you can meet fascinating people this way.

4. Try a trade show. Boat shows, car shows, hell, even a professional conference, is a great way to find guys. You might be bored silly at some of these shows, but the scenery can be great. As far as conferences go, they are mainly just excuses to drink, so party on, I mean, build that professional network...

Bad places to meet guys: church (the biggest pervert I ever dated, I met at church - it seems to be a theme with religion sometimes); book stores (too quiet to adequately see if there is a connection); grocery stores (have you ever seriously tried to start a conversation over kumquats? Can you even say it with a straight face? 'nuff said)

Next post, where to find the ladies...

 Do people really try to pick up others at grocery stores? Ok, sure the Wal-Martians aren't going to be an attractive group at 2-3am, but who wants to be bothered while trying to shop? I can imagine the pick up lines: hey there...I see you have some ice cream...I have bananas...wanna go back to your place & make a 'nanner split?
