the best advice to meet people -- other than taking your chances here on line where most people don't really give someone the time of day or a chance to identify personalities in my opinion is to go to a local hang out often - become a regular in a book store, star bucks coffee shop, local eatery that you like to hang out at, etc...establishing your presence there you might be able to start to mingle with other regulars.
The other option is try local meetup.com events... they have them everywhere and your bound to go to things where other's will have similar interests!! Good Luck!! Donna

ok man i can tell you how to catch a woman first try to slim down or at least get your muscle mass up. become active, girls say its not about looks oh yes it is, first start by taking pride in yourself the better you feel about yourself the easier it will be. get over being shy and dont be afraid to be shot down. just keep trying and have confidence. be confident in who you are. alot of times people think they are tens when there 7s ya know and they look for a ten well i mean ? what kind of ladies you are attracted too. Go out and approach women. if your looking to get married churches are good places, looking to jst hook up the bar is a good place. i mean you have to do something you cant sit on a comp and expect a woman to jst jump on you man.

90% of everybody I ever dated were people I met through female friends. Of course, those female friends are all married now with 2.4 kids, and all their formerly-single female friends are also married with 2.4 kids, so that doesn't work anymore.

Others I met when I was in a band and then it gets EASY, but those people are never really interested in you as a person. They just want you to sing "Kung Fu Fighting," or whatever it is, to them.

I've met 9 people on dating sites, and 8 of them were just horrendous experiences.

I don't do bars either (alcohol is a total deal-breaker for me), or churches, or much of anything else really.

And I never had any luck here, either.

I think if I was in a situation where I wanted to meet anybody, I would try to develop some new friendships with women who weren't married and didn't have 2.4 kids yet.

And no, I'm not even sure how I would go about THAT, either....

:wink:

You know what? You might need a wake up call that you have been avoiding.

I'm not saying theres no one out there for you. I see someone on your profile that has contacted you.

So ask one of the ladies out for coffee and serious conversation about what they find attractive or not about you. This is also about your personality.

Take notes, learn something from it and then go fix yerself. If you want to be yourself fine but you may never meet someone being that person. For instance, someone that you would like to talk to gets the perception you are creepy. Find out why so you can alter that perception.

Many Many years ago I got a wake up. Someone thought I was a pompus ass until they met me on an outting. We became great freinds and I was glad she told me cause I learned something that others may felt I was pompus. So I fixed it by changing my behaviors that she thought made me that way.

From experience I learned how to meet almost anyone anywhere. There is a forum here on PUA. Look it up and learn. No more whining is the first thing.... And take the sentance off of your profile that says, "I may never be rich." Dude! Reach for the for the stars. Just put that you would always treat a woman like she was one in a million. First leason.

I've got other opinions of what would help you but don't know if you are ready to handle them.

Best of luck to you,

John

Hmmmm...I don't totally disagree with what you have said, however, I do disagree with the it's about the looks part...I can tell you that there are a lot of women who don't judge based on looks...Looks are not everything...but that is my opinion.
I do agree with what you said about confidence...the more confidence you have...more people find you attractive.

I also agree with the part about being out-going...You will meet more people by being more social and more out-going and just getting out there and being in the mix...doesn't mean you have to go to the bar...but like someone else said...to your local coffee shop, book store...etc...

Good luck to you :)

haha dude there are so many opportunities to meet people out in the world

you just gotta grab your balls and step up - quit hiding behind fear as an excise to not get out of the house

dont do bars? go to them anyway! you might meet some guys that know what theyre doing (maybe a PUA if ur lucky) and u can ask them to show you the ropes.

go to bookstores, cafes, yoga classes (lol), religious organizations (if ur religious in any way), the streets of downtown, malls, etc. etc.

however, if you make yourself to be too shy to talk to people in these places it wont make a bit of a difference. grab your balls and step up!

Well, you start with your own interests, then find any organizations, clubs, or classes based on those interests. Then go to them. There you will meet people with similar interests. You talk to people, get to know them, and that leads to meeting other people they know.
