Several years ago friends suggested I try to meet men in the grocery, particularly the frozen food and dairy aisles. I thought this was the silliest thing I had ever heard until I began to observe hunting techniques used by shoppers.

One day a woman knocked over an entire display of crackers. Being the nice person I am, I stopped to help her as did a nice man. She almost growled at me before I realized she had done it on purpose. As I went about my shopping that day, this same poor man had food "dropped" in front of him in several different areas. He was attractive, nicely groomed and ringless. I wonder how long it takes him to get his grocery list finished each week?

As I checked out, I noticed men hoovering close to the ends of aisle near the check out stands. It wasn't until the woman in front of me began to empty her cart that I "got it". As she bent over the front of her cart, you could see down her top, all the way to her skivvys. She had to have known she was doing it because she kept bending way over very slowly. It was so funny, I could barely contain myself. I've also noticed that most of the aisle hoovers are married...LOL!

verylibra,
I love your post. I think everyone has suggested that good pickup spots were the grocery store, the coffe shops, and book stores to name a few. Being a married male I have not taken notice of what you have described. I have noticed that when I go shopping there seems to be alot of women there and some seem to be dressed really nice. Now you have me wondering if these really nicely dressed women are cruising the aisles for single men.

What grocery store are you going to? I never see anything like this going on. Is it a certain time?

When I was married, I was constantly hit on by single women.

Many many times these were the very SAME ONES that utterly ignored me while I was single. these were very attractive, educated, articulate urban women, lawyers and so forth.

This has utterly perplexed me, and of course is recurring as I am single again now. Why is this.

You are much more observant than I am! I don't particularly like grocery shopping and usually try to avoid it. Unless I need something that I never purchased before, I usually order online and have it delivered. Saves me a lot of time. But having read your post, I think I might reconsider my strategy...

The forbidden fruit syndrome? Or maybe the opposite of that, sometimes it's safer to flirt with a married man. Just a bit of fun, and if there is an attractive single man within earshot, he could become interested just because it appears that another man is interested in her?

I don't know, just hypothesizing... I rarely find myself drawn to a married men.

I've never met a woman in a grocery store. Dog parks, libraries and laundromats, yes...grocery store, no. In my observation, most women I see at the store either seem in a hurry to get what they came for and leave, or they're there with their SO.

lol.....hilarious post, but where in the world do you shop? I've never seen anything even close to that happen in the grocery store. Maybe I'm just oblivious and in a hurry to get what I need and leave.....lol....
