Where The Boys Are

Little League games (great way to meet single dads), Model train show (even if you don’t meet anyone, the trains are fascinating), CPR classes (good to know anyway), Woodworking class, Public library (for those who like to read), Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs, Vintage guitar shows (although you might end up with someone still hanging onto their youth a little too tightly), Horse races, Car auction

According to E. Jean of Elle magazine in the September 1999 column “Ask E. Jean”, in order to find the men you have to go where they are. She suggests these three ideas to bear in mind:

1. A Wise Doll Goes Where There Are Lots of Men and No Women - 2. The Wise Doll Has a Higher Aim Than Just Meeting Men (good point – you will look needy or desperate if your only reason to be there is to nab a date – loosen up and enjoy the activity) - 3. The Wise Doll Is Ready For Anything

Spontaneity is another factor in meeting men. When I was younger, I limited myself to those places and people I deemed “appropriate”. Nowadays, I look with an open mind to events and people as possible adventures, never ruling them out because they are “beneath” me or inappropriate. For example, I know one woman in her late 20s who will not date blue-collar men. That’s unfortunate for her. Another (wiser) woman met and married a carpenter who treats her like a queen, is a great father and loving husband, and besides that, he’s pretty good with his hands (or so I’ve heard). Dismissing someone or something before you’ve given it a shot is not prudent.

Places To Avoid (Or Advice To Heed If You Simply Must)

Bars (especially on a weekend) – I met one boyfriend at a bar during happy hour. However, I went to his bar with work friends on a regular basis for months before I agreed to go out with him. He worked there. I had some idea of who he was, what he did for a living, where to find him. My friends had met him already as well. But bars with men ogling women, plying them with drink, usually end up in one-night-stands or a guy who often won’t call (or call back). Stick to meeting friends at bars. Flirt all you
