I notice these types of threads seem to revolve around the bar & club scene, and "young professionals". But what if that's not you? What if your young, but not a professional, and going to school? Suppose you just want to meet young, approachable, childless, women of collage age who hang out in book stores, and happen to live somewhere that is severely lacking in exactly that?

My city is always lacking those collage chicks so I just go for the paper mache girls. They're cuter anyways.

Those take a bit of work... Corn husk girls may be easier to get in some areas!

Man, don't do that. Bad advice. Then you're the guy who has a part-time job in a book store. That's barely a notch above the guy who works at the video store, who in turn is slightly higher on the food chain than the guy who works the cash register down at the c-store.

What the OP seems to be really looking for is girls who have brains and a little bit of emotional depth. If that's the case, then do things that a girl with brains and depth would be doing. Go to a music performance, a lecture, an art showing. Take a class, go on a guided hike. Join a writer's group or find a single's group that's centered around a cultural activity such as music. I mean, when I was 24, I met more girls in my creative writing class than Carter has little liver pills.

In short, part of the reason you're not finding women like that is because you aren't going where they are found. That means you yourself have to step outside of your own comfort zone and try something new and unexpected. And, who knows, you might really like it yourself

But is he into those things himself? Or is he going to come off like Kip and Henry? Only at an event or thing to pick up chicks? What's he going to say when some chick asks him what he thinks of Keith Haring art. "Wasn't that poo in a jar? If so, I make art every morning!"

At a book store he can see what these chicks are reading. He can ask another chick what she liked, next time he sees target chick, he can repeat what other chick said..and hear "Wow, a guy who read Leslie Feinberg?"

Hah. True. It's a very jujitsu thing. You have to go to those places with the intent of meeting people while not looking like you're there to meet people.

But as someone who did the bookstore thing for about three months (I realized there was butkus for money in it), I realized that even if a girl I liked strolled up to the counter:

a) She was in a hurry...
b) She was with someone...
c) I had to take care of other customers...
d) My manager was watching me like a hawk...

You get the idea. I'm a pretty charismatic guy, and do my fair share of reading. In three months of working at a book, I think I had one decent conversation with one woman about books. Considering how crappy the pay was, I'd say that's not a very good return on investment.

I figured somebody with that strong an anti opinion against clerk in a book store either was one once, or got beat up by one.

Don't have a book store in area for book store hanging out chicks to congregate so you can review them? Hmmmmmmmm

Here's the answer to that..you don't have to be a clerk either..just open a book store!
