I don't drink, so bars are out anyway....

I'm an atheist, so church is not an option....

95% of all the people I've been involved with, I met through friends.

I've met nine people from dating sites, and they were all absolute disasters. I would not consider getting involved with someone from a dating site again.

For me, it isn't about a "place" -- never has been.


That's what I'm thinking, Lex... ask friends to ask friends... something developed this afternoon like that... might be a meeting coming up... through friends... go figure...

TM -- Here's the logistical issue I've been running into --

My single female friends, who used to be 20 and unattached, had tons of friends who were also 20 and unattached. Now they're all 30 and married with 2.4 kids (or divorced with 2.4 kids) -- not a good scenario. They try to fix me up with people who are 27 with 2.4 kids. Uh, no thanks.

I need to make some younger friends.

Yeah, if we are single with no kids, we have all these opotions of sloppy seconds with some chick with brats that don't belong to us... been there, done that... doesn't work worth a damn.

I need to move to Guam... an amazing amount of beautiful single women there with no kids... visited in 2006... damn best place I've ever been to...

Truly a tropical paradise, minus women's lib from the states...

So, where do people honestly go to meet other single people...

... some place they DON"t serve booze or religion... (no bars, no churches)

... NOT the grocery store

... not on an Internet site...

Someplace real where you could actually meet single people and socialize...

... a coffee shop?

Any other ideas?


A sober club

I never want to have kids, but if I were to meet someone who I got along with, was attracted to, and treated me awesome, it would be stupid to not date the person because they have children.

Did you seriously just say that?

I've seen you complain, then fall in "love", complain again then fall in "love" again, on here at least twice already. Maybe take some more time getting to know someone before getting your heart in so deep and writing poems about them in a public forum.

I'm not kidding one bit when I say I think you have some issues to work out in your head about the opposite sex. I mean no disrespect to you but the whole phrasing above is kind of a lame way to state your view. You probably just managed to offend about 3/4 of the women on here. You make it sound like a woman with children is damaged goods. You can't think that a guy your age with an attitude like yours will be attractive either can you? I really hope your just having a bad day. Any woman you date now will be "sloppy seconds" as you put it. There aren't too many 40 year old virgins in real life.

Stating your opinion on whether or not you want kids is one thing, but jeez TelephoneMan.

Since all these other options are out in your mind maybe go look in the wanted ads. Some lovely young beauty in Guam (or russia) may be waiting for you to arrange transportation for her trip to the alter with you.

I do wish you good luck. I know you have been clear in the fact that you do want a woman in your life. Maybe you'll find the one who can put the jaded outlook away forever for you.
