Bingo. You've hit on a very important idea when it comes to meeting women: go where you'll be noticed.
Most guys think one should go to a club to meet women. WRONG. That's the worst place on the planet, right up there with testicular cancer support groups.
Much better is to choose a venue where women come and feel comfortable and want to talk. Bookstores are great. So are personal growth seminars. They also have the upside that you meet women who like to read or are interested in self-improvement--good things. This class sounds very similar. You'll be noticed and appreciated, and you're more likely to meet women who are on your intellectual wavelength.

This is like the polar opposite of a CS class.
Yep. This reminds me of a "Sex and the City" episode in which Kim Cattrall's character discover's sports bars. She says, "Why didn't we go there before? It's nothing but cute men wall to wall! Not another woman in sight!"
