Where Could I Meet YOU Locally?

So you various people indicate that I could meet you at (insert your store, park, street, where ever).* So how many hours a day and how many days am I going to have to wait at this location before you come in?

Would you really want someone to interrupt you while you were reading or working on your computer?

EXACTLY!!! Or, the OTHER problem is this (and I gather Americans never do this, but Australians live a much more laid back lifestyle, so we do) - you are out of milk or ciggies, so you dash to the local milkbar in whatever is handy to throw on. A sarong, bare feet. The gym gear because you have a class in an hour anyway. No make-up, the hair in a ponytail - and THAT is the VERY time you almost trip over the most GORGEOUS looking guy on the planet. Of course, you never see him again.

Wow, what's with all these assumptions that women are sick of getting hit on? Would those women please speak up? I think they must be far more rare than men assume. Getting sick ofguys who can't take a hint is one thing, but the comments here indicate that mentake that as a reason to never approach any woman, ever.

I'm very curious to hear where men hang out too?

In my experience, university was great (but you have to be in school.) It had by far the largest number of compatible people, and was the most conducive place to being open and approachable.
Second is the workplace - when I worked where there was a “critical mass” of educated young people. I don’t have this anymore, sadly. Some people frown on this, but provided I saw marriage potential I would absolutely date a co-worker.
Third would be the gym. I know many people don’t like this, but I think it is a great strategy for women, especially.
After that, for me it drops off totally to random public encounters, like a woman who says something in the grocery store, which may or may not be an invitation to talk. (This is rare for me.) My hobbies have tended to be very male, so not an option. (Though I think male-dominated hobbies are another great strategy for women.) I would think your dancing would be great, but I’ve never been part of that, so I don’t really know.
My last suggestion is to be generally a social person, and try to develop friendships with more people- particularly married couples (I firmly believe that people attract like-minded people, and you want to surround yourself with people who embody the qualities you’d seek in a mate.)
Depending on where you live, cultural institutions often have “single’s nights,” which in cities may be a good option (high cost, though.) It can seem tacky to do this only for the single’s night though, but to show up then when people already know you makes women much more comfortable.

A certain species, Urbanus[/i] Americanus Infantileus[/i] , is known to display odd attire in public, notably trousers hung low upon his waist, such that his underwears are visible. Whether females swoon is undetermined at this time.

Guys in those venues just tend to see me -- as one of the guys .
