Ever fished in a lake where there aren't any good fish?
Last summer I did just that...
And I spent an entire week fishing out fish that weren't legal enough to keep.That's what dating feels like around here.
I only have one fishing lure and no boat to go to those better waters. Bleh.
Maybe it's time I gave online dating a try. Being tall, dark, and handsome would make me stand out no doubt, but I've never uploaded pictures of myself to the internet before....
Curse me for being overly cautious... But I can't help it at all.
Anywhere's fine w/me. Go for it, I say. If a chic goes to a bar thinking it is a "no pick up zone", I think that's just crazy!!! It's a bar. They're known pick-up spots. Duh! I can see maybe at the gym they don't want to be bothered, but jeez. Go to a women's only gym or work out at home if it's such a problem. Seriously. Probably the same women that complain about being single. I'm not sure what's wrong w/these women. I've had guys hit on me in different places. Doesn't bother me a bit. I may decline, but I'm not gonna get upset because of the location. I can only imagine how hard it would be to try to approach someone like that. I don't do that. I gotta hand it to people that do. I would just politely decline if not interested or in a relationship or whatever. I know I'm just happy people are still interested. If I were you, I would approach a woman where ever I wanted to. A parking garage at night may freak me out a little.

No fish worth keeping.
Weren't you considering a move? If not, I suggest you do so. The Bay Area or NYC tend to be highly recommended around here.
I ask because I always hear this from women online
"Don't approach me at the gym cause I just want to work out and not be bothered"
"Don't approach me at the bar cause I'm just there to drink and party with my friends"
"Don't approach me on the street because it's creepy"
"Don't approach me at the store because I'm just there to shop"
*Insert another situation where I don't ever want to be approached*
etc...etc...etc....
What options does that leave? Is there ever a time where women aren't extremely annoyed by male attention of any kind?
This is crazy. I go to the bar to get approached. I think partying and and drinking with friends is boring. I am there to flirt.
Also, I do not mind if people approach me in the store, gym, library or wherever. I prefer this as I am not big to join groups as I get bored. As long as you are not creepy and seem nice. I will have a conversation with you.
Somebody please explain how this makes sense. The gym is the absolute best place to find good looking/healthy people. Why would you not want to date one of the men from your gym?
I've made a good 10-15 male friends from the gym and they were all fantastic guys
I agree. It's the obvious place. Several gyms I've been to in different cities are part of the local singles scene. Women who don't want to be approached go to the local women-only gym, if there is one. The local weekend farmer's market is a good place, and bookstores are good--think about it; there are conversation starters all over the shelves in a bookstore. If you're there for a book reading, so much the better. It's a no-brainer.

I am considering. Though I am looking for cities with smaller populations. Boulder, Colorado, Portland, Maine and Ann Arbor Michigan come to mind.
