    10 Places You're Guaranteed to Meet Men

    Striking out? Up your date night chances with these tips by dating expert Carly Spindel.


    Top 10 Dating Mistakes Women Make


    Meeting the opposite sex isn't the easiest feat - especially when you work in femme-heavy fashion - but here's a compilation of some handy and perhaps unexpected tips to cross paths with Mr. Right.

    1. Eat Out
    Busy, single men don't have time to cook. This is why they need a girlfriend! Just kidding. However, when they are tired and hungry after work, they dine out at restaurants. So if you want to meet a new man, try a new restaurant at least once a week.

    2. Join a Gym
    Gyms are places where all body conscious men go to let off some steam. If you meet a man at the gym you can see what he really looks like when he's all sweaty. If he looks good in gym clothes, he'll look great in real clothes. People who work out are also much happier (translation: a better partner to be with).


    3. Pay Attention To Your Pet
    The sun is out and love is in the air. People are outside enjoying the weather. Take the opportunity to give your dog some extra attention and go to the park. If you don't have a dog, borrow one. Many men think of dogs as soul mates (who else better understands their zest for the simple things in life?) and will often frequent dog runs. If a man sees a woman walking a cute dog, he will most likely start talking to her.

    4. Fix Things
    To me, Home Depot is the worst place in the world. I would rather sit in an icebox and freeze than go to an oversized tool shed. But, guys consider it their inner handyman Mecca. Men love fixing and building things, so Home Depot (or Lowes) stores are always filled with an array of manly men.

    5. Start To Love Toys
    Men love toys. The bigger the boat and the faster the engine, the more powerful the guy will be. The same way women love fashion shows, guys love toy shows. Car and boat shows are places where single men are like a flock to a shepherd. If you attend a car or boat show, pick up on the finer things in life (um, Ferraris anyone?), while meeting a man to drive it.

    6. Wash Your Car
    Speaking of cars, most men love their four-wheelers and they like them to appear brand new. It could be a rut (pun intended), but I've always dated men who are car freaks and I've been taken to car washes much too often. But while I'm there (bored to death), I've noticed that they were usually filled with men, and pretty hot ones sometimes. Head to a car wash and remember, your car can never be too shiny.

    7. Be Tech-Friendly
    True or false? Men are into electronics. All the men I've dated (or known for that matter) have proved this statement to be true. Men love technology and are always looking for new phones. If you want to meet a tech-friendly type of guy, frequent a Verizon, Sprint, or AT&T store.

    8. Pick Up a Sport
    Do you like tennis or golf? Well, start to love them both! Being active will boost your confidence and help you stay fit. Golf courses and tennis clubs are places that men go to with their friends. If you join one, you can better your game and meet new people.

    9. Start Reading
    Reading is a great way to escape your day-to-day troubles. Go to a bookstore and kill two birds with one stone - find a book and a brand new man. Some men love to learn and are always looking for reading material. If you're browsing the same aisle, then you know you have something in common.

    10. Get Cultured
    Experience a typical New York moment by going to a museum. There are new exhibits opening all the time. If you meet a man at a museum, chances are he is interesting and cultured. You can also brush up on some art history while looking for that prospective boyfriend or husband.

      Women actually hunt for men!? Who would have thought? LOL
    • Me  •  2 years 0 months ago
      This is all BS. If you're an outgoing person, you could meet someone anywhere. And, if you're not...you'll never meet someone at any of these places anyway.

      Just be yourself and let nature run its course.
    • Walter  •  2 years 0 months ago
      No, Bridget, I never noticed how many guys don't read, I surround myself with literate, cultured people - some of whom outdo themselves in this area to prove who is the most highly-educated, well-read person.

      Hm.. I don't go to car shows
      and I am gently pausing before
      clicking "post comment"...

      50, smart, funny, salsa dancer.
      Inventor, builder, acupuncturist.
      More.

      Looking for one woman. 30 to 40.
      At ease, laughs, thinks, flows.
      I happen to be a vegetarian, what
      are you?

      Love seems a long shot but the heart
      is open. Send a note and a current pic
      and I'll do the same.

      Yikes!

      When I read the title I thought "Oh boy this is just another How too!
      But I must say This is correct. At lease these are some of the place I would be.

      Gee, it seems to me that everyone needs to lighten up a bit. These were just suggestions meant for those people who are looking for suggestions. Take them or leave them, but why criticize them? For some women, if they speant as much time on exercizing and getting themselves in shape as they do on their hair and nails, they would just naturally attract more attention.
    • OneAmerican  •  2 years 0 months ago
      Oh well, I guess I'm toast since I don't have the ole "6 pack"...

      Seems that way for sure, money doesn't matter, morals don't matter, talking care of you family doesn't matter....it just makes me mad as a hatter!!!

      We ALL expect to have a good looking partner and unfortunally we have ALL been conditioned not to accept anything less.

      Which means....there are gonna be a lot of lonely people......
    • Walter  •  2 years 0 months ago
      One gross oversight: relocating to a town that has a surplus of men: Denver, SF, San Diego, Man Jose, Seattle
    • jive turkey  •  2 years 0 months ago
      thank you. i now have a complete list of where not to go in hopes of avoiding pathetic, lonely, and hopeless women such as yourself.
    • Maverick  •  2 years 0 months ago
      and fyi if your not going to take the advice she has written, and believe that just being yourself will get the job done then you being just plain stubborn. obviously your still single so you that would men something needs to change

      “Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war” quote generally attributed to Marc Antony as he paid his first months dues to a singles dating service. The battle of the sexes goes on and on and on and on...
    • Cardy  •  2 years 1 month ago
      I would never want to meet a guy at the gym. We both sweaty gross. At club it not a best place to meet a guy or a bar that's for desperate loosers. I go to the clubs to have a good time not to pick up guys. Bachelor parties wrong place most of them sleep with strippers. 1)Eat out to me is not a bad idea I barely gen weigt but i'm s slim woman. 2)Over coffee is a good way to meet man. 3) at the movie. 4)at a theater show. 5) at the art museum 6) Read a book men love a smart women. 7) In school but not in the same class. 8) At a daycare men loves kids 9) Car show for love fast cars. 10)whatching sports, score big time
    • Bridget  •  2 years 0 months ago
      Don't agree with the reading bit, ever notice how many guys DO NOT read books?

      I met my husband on the golf course. "Do you think you can help me with my short game?" He did too.

      WITH ALL DUE RESPECTS TO WOMEN, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHOM THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO ( HEREIN LIES KNOWING YOUR REAL SELF-- WOMAN). IF A WOMAN WANTS TO MEET A MAN, BE YOURSELF- DONT PUT ON AIRS STOP BEING OVER CRITICAL- -GIVE A MAN A CHANCE TO BE ABLE TO BE HIS REAL SELF WITH YOU. STOP TRYING TO FIND OUT ABOUT HOW MUCH MATERIALISTIC THINGS HE HAS, AND HOW MUCH MONEY HE MAKES OR IS IN THE BANK. IF YOU SEEK TRUE LOVE- -DONT DO IT WITH YOUR MIND AND FORETHOUGHT OR DREAM OF EXPECTATIONS WHICH MAY NOT BE THERE- -INSTEAD- -THINK AND ACT THROUGH YOUR HEART. SHAKING YOUR BOOTY, OR PRETENDING TO HAVE LARGE BREASTS IS ALSO NOT AN ANSWER. MUCH TO THE SURPRISE OF WOMEN- -THERE ARE TRUE, HONEST AND SINCERE MEN OUT THERE. THEY ARE SIMPLE, AND ENJOY LIFE, FAMILY AND GODS MIRACLES HERE ON EARTH. THE "MACHO" MAN, THE ONE WHO HOLDS HIMSELF IN THE GROIN, ORFLEXES THE MUSCLES, IS ARROGANT, SELF-CENTERED AND EGOTISTICAL, IN SOME CASES- -IS PROBABLY GREAT TO START, BUT EVENTUALLY, THEIR EGO SETS IN, THEY DEMAND AND CONTROL, BECAUSE THEY ONLYTHIN OF THEMSELVES AND THEIR BODY BUILDING. THEY ARE- -BASICALLY- INSECURE AND NEED THE FOUNDATION OF THE BODY TO GET ATTENTION. AND -- NO LADIES---A MAN CANNOT BE JUDGED BY THE SIZE OF HIS GROIN- -" THE TITANIC" DOES NOT EXIST. OVERALL- BE REALL, BE HONEST, DONT LIE OR PRETEND, BE YOURSELF AS GOD MADE YOU- -A TRUE MAN- -WILL APPRECIATE AND RESPECT YOU FOR YOU, NOT FOR WHAT YOU SHOW OFF. AS TO WHERE TO FIND A MAN- -ANYWHERE IS THE ANSWER. JUST DONT LOOK TOO HARD, AND AS HAS BEEN MENTIONED IN SEVERAL OTHER COMMENTS- --YOU WILL KNOW WHEN YOU FIND MR. RIGHT-- BECAUSE YOUR HEART WILL TELL YOU- -AND ACTIONS AND INTERACTIONS ROM THE 1ST MOMENT ON- -WILL GIVE MORE ANSWERS. WHO KNOWS--YOU MAT FIND YOUR SOULMATE, THE MAN OF YOUR DREAMS, YOUR KNIGHT IN SHINNING ARMOR, YOUR PRINCE. BUT MOSTLY, YOU WILL FIND A MAN WHO DOESNT HAVE TO BE " MACHO", BUT A MAN WHO IS CARING, CONSIDERATE, APPRECIATIVE, RESPECTFUL AND TREAT YOU LIKE A LADY AND A WOMAN. A MAN WHO HOLDS HIGH FAMILY VALUES, DOES NOT CONTROL, BUT SHARES, AND LIVES LIFE WITH HAPPINESS, JOY AND LOVE OF PEOPLE, NATURE.
      I WISH ALL WOMAN SUCCESS IN FINDING THEIR MR. RIGHT, AND I WISH ALL MEN TO FIND THEIR PERFECT WOMAN.

      Being a no-longer single man for 28 yrs, these are good observations. Since guys like to talk, help and fix things. You might want to ask one for help? I ask other guys who seem to know more than me about DIY stuff all the time. Don't be pushy, and most of all - be real.
      PS. Despite, what your mother always told you, you don't have to wear make-up at Homedepot or Autozone. Just put your hair in a pony-tail and dress casual.

      Hope this helps

      1-8 is my "normal" scene. Yes there are lots of men at these places however if you are shy you won't meet any of them! I'm going on year 6 of being single... I pretty much gave up "finding" a man. I'll wait for God to place one in my life.
