If you have any really good advice, on any topic, just post it here. If this gets big enough it could be a good source of help. A degree of helpfulness and quality would be appreciated on your submissions.

My advice: A study found that art museums are the best place to meet a girl.

But I *hate* art museums. Can't I go to the natural-history museum instead? :lol:

A museum's a museum.

did you meet your girlfriend at an art museum? if so, be careful not to turn into her senior project like the guy in The Shape of Things was...

I hate art musuems too. :lol: I'm just recounting what a study said. I don't have a girlfriend. :cry: Although the last time I went to an art museum (college field trip) I almost got a very nice looking girl to give me her number, if only I had an extra 10 minutes...

Seriously though. Any really good advice people? Not related to museums perhaps? In your area of expertise?

I saw the study a few years back and after doing research I have found that it seems that where you live has a big effect on the best places to meet women. Nonetheless, I think this is it, although the study I saw was not on the internet but I remember it being more scientific than this.

Now someone else give some random advice! There are some older aspies out there with PHDs in something I'm sure. Share your mastery with the rest of us.

That article also says NASCAR races are also a good place to meet women? How is that possible? NASCAR races are full of rednecks and hillbillies. I've been to museums and no one goes there to pick up women. I would still think a nightclub or school or work or parties, etc, the usual places are the best places to meet women.

Once I knew a girl and was shocked to learn that she was a die hard NASCAR fan (not exactly a redneck). Nightclubs are bad places to meet women, good places to meet men. There's always more men there than women so the women there are picky. School, work, and parties work pretty well.

Anyone have any advice that isn't about where to meet girls?

Work while there can be a lot of women also falls under...Can't get away too. It could be very uncomfortable if you break up but still have to deal with them regularly.
