I decided I'd take a class called "women's studies: women in advertising in the media" because I thought it would be cool to get college credit for looking at photographs of women. For some reason, no other guys want to study women (WTF???) so I'm one of 3 guys in a class of 50. There is a lot of small group interaction and I needed to take a "global understanding class" to graduate and this fulfills the requirement so that's my rationale behind choosing the class (when I talk to the girls).

It's very interesting because girls feel free to talk about everything in there.

Last class we had a discussion about a phenomena called "menoostration" and how Orthodox Jewish women go through this process. Orthodox Jewish people think it's evil and Women in their "period" (thats what they call it, i'm not lying) are not allowed to see their husband for 14 days.

Lots of the girls seemed to be familiar with the topic of the menstration thing. They must have taken other womens studies classes that covered this "cycle" at HS or something.

back on the topic of meeting the girls:

So the gender distribution seemed to play out favorably. This is like the polar opposite of a CS class.

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.

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!"

If you mean a nightclub, I would agree, nightclubs are great places to dance your ass off and have a good time listening to techno music, but as pick up places they suck.

Great advice, I've got to check out some self improvement classes for personal reasons and maybe to meet some chicks ;)

you know I was considering taking up a women's studies class just for that purpose, and I find women interesting in general. I was also thinking about taking up a cooking class since their would be alotta chicks there, plus I can learn to cook up some great recipes.

There also tend to be a lot of women in foreign language classes. The ratio of woment to men in my upper-level French classes is probably 5:1 or similar. That's not to say you'll succeed in meeting any women by enrolling in a French class. I haven't.

I'm almost out of college (thankfully), and I've hated every minute of it. I'm hoping, after college, to have a source of income so that I can get transportation of my own and take control of my life so that I can start doing things I want to do: meet women and have sex (I'd prefer an emotionally fulfilling relationship in the long term, but sex also sounds nice at least in the short term). In college, I had no success with either romance or sex. I also want to travel and get out of the boring state of Missouri. I'd like to visit Europe (specifically, France, Germany, Italy, Vienna, Amsterdam, Switzerland, London, and Prague), different parts of the United States, and other parts of the world.

I want to work as a Web designer and developer (hopefully I can freelance or be employed in a position where I can do both the page layout and some technical stuff—a little coding) because I need the balance between creative and technical. I plan to take vacations as frequently as possible to at least make quick trips over to the other side of the country for a few days to explore. I can live cheap otherwise except for my taste in food, which can be pricey, but part of that is because I'm so bored I end up binge-eating simply to pass the time.

My plans better, go as a foreign exchange student to an all girls school in Korea (they allow boys but only as foreign exchange students and I think last year they had like 7 to 12000 girls.) :-D

This is what I've been thinking for a long time - bring myself into contact with more women, in places where I've actually got a chance to talk to them. Improve the probabilities. I simply don't MEET many single women now. Of course, all of my current interests are generally male-dominated. I went to a science college (barely a chance for your NT man there, never mind an Aspi).

An evening class could fit into my life quite nicely, but I don't really want to go to a class and fake interest in a subject purely for the chance of meeting my future significant other, so how about we get a comprehensive list together?

Sounds like a great way to meet women, esp as your only one of three blokes in there, rather brave of you I have to say. Ive never heard of this type of thing before, it sounds really interesting though.

Us ladies generally tend to be very open about quite a lot of things as Im sure you're discovering. And, in the right environment, we don't really need much encouragement to be open. I have many more male friends than female and they have all told me that I fascinate them with how open I can be, and they listen to what I say intently. I think its because women generally feel more comfortable talking about issues or their femininity than, say men do about their issues or masculinity. This is just an observation Ive made. Us women are quite interesting creatures really, given the chance :) .

Oh also just dont be suprised with your plan (or my plan for that matter) if the teacher holds up guys as the reason there are things wrong in the world.

I recently heard an interview with a wrestler who had taken up yoga to correct his injuries.
He said he thought guys who took yoga didn't talk about it so they would have more women to themselves.

Hard to tell right now as I've only attended one class. I will send an update next week.

Alex, have you been talking to my husband?
He and a friend did this very thing in college. They took a Women in History class. It pretty much backfired on him, though. Like someone mentioned, the male-bashing flowed freely and he did not take kindly to it. The "Femi-Nazis"
as he affectionately dubbed them, ran him out of class. (not literally, of course,
but he could not withstand the heat!) Hope you have a thicker skin than he did!
Best of luck.

I think first year in Arts faculties is sometimes known as Marriage I. Good luck with it all!

I'm not sure if I agree 100% with the idea of taking women's studies classes for the sake of meeting women. I mean, if they find out that that's why you're taking it, they might think that's creepy.
