Are the chances of success of getting a woman's phone number better if meeting her in person --at a museum or event-- rather than messaging the women who are online dating sites?

I think the answer is yes. Women are more likely to give out their phone number to guys they've met briefly if they've sensed attraction/chemistry and commonalities after talking a bit. Agree?

Also, the vast majority of single & available women are not on dating sites. So when they get asked out by someone decent, they are less picky than a lady on Match.com who's getting ten e-mails a day.

I think shopping markets would be a good place to meet a single woman. A guy can see what's in her cart (to see if she's shopping for one or for kids/family) to judge if she might be single. Where are other good places IRL to look (and the subtle signs to tell if she's single)?

It depends on age and locatiion....and the guys looks.

The fact is you should use both options...dont choose one or the other.


As you get older random meeting of people gets increasingly difficult.

Agree. You should do both. Besides, just because you get more phone numbers doesn't mean they are her actual phone number or that you'll get more dates. Either option involves a fair amount of effort.

I think the best thing is to use eharmony. Their patented Compatibility Matching System narrows the field from thousands of single men or single women to match with a highly select group of compatible singles -- singles who have been prescreened on 29 Dimensions of Compatibility: scientific predictors of long-term relationship success. Why spend hours browsing through personal ads and searching the Internet when you don't have to? Think about it.

Look around when your doing the day to day things. I try and keep my eyes open at these places: Coffee, book store, the beach, hiking, gym, walks, school. These are the things I enjoy doing and I hope I might find someone doing the same things.
