Opportunity Maximization

Post Reply New Topic

For better or worse, my daily routine rarely brings me into contact with available women around my age. The occasional meet is when she happens to be some sales clerk or just happens to be passing down the street|parking lot|wherever. Needless to say, I've been taking a more active approach to meeting women lately. First I tried volunteering, which was a bunch of elderly couples; then I tried a continuing education class through the community college, which was also old people. I'm really starting to wonder just where in the hell do women between the ages of 20 and 25 go when they're not at work or in class? Anyway, for now, I'm trying another volunteer activity, but this time it's through a group that's supposedly geared towards younger people. I'm also continuing to use MySpace to hit on random women I see when I click "Browse."

I know how you feel... I go to a college where there are practically no women to speak of (the few that are there are taken), and I volunteer a lot of time at my church (which has nobody between the ages of 18 and 40 other than me and a handful of techie guys...)

If you like animals, you could ask if a local animal shelter takes volunteers. I've seen lots of young women in that environment, both volunteers and pros.
Of course, that hasn't led me into any "Love and Dating", but then again, I'm too old and with AS to boot.

This really is a tricky one. Unless you're part of some scene it's damn near impossible to meet single women.It would be great if I could chat up sales assistants or compliment a woman I saw in the street but I'd probably be had up for harassment.

Also I know what you mean about the classes. I tried that once and ended up in a room full of couples and old people. Nice people, don't get me wrong, but it was pretty clear that my chances of even meeting a single woman of any age who would want to chat were near zero. And because my main motivation was to meet women I lost interest in the actual class pretty quickly. The thought of going back there week after week depressed me more than anything.

the next person who tells me to "join a club and meet a young lady" gets a smack in the chops.

Your best bet would probably be clubs.....or bars...

Just walk around places with people.

A few ideas:
1. If you live in a town that has clubs, go to a concert at a club. Concerts at clubs tend to be standing room and people mingle, there's also the band to discuss, so you have something to talk about.
2. Get a small, cute, friendly dog and take it for walks in the park. Many women love dogs, and many women spend time walking or jogging in the park. I have a small black and white cow-spotted chihuahua who happens to be friendly and I practically have to beat women off with a stick.
3. Join a gym. A lot of women exercise.
Just my two cents.
