In my case, it has always been when I stopped looking and least suspected it. When I was out there "kicking butt" and making something of myself.

I'm gonna say something everyone will disagree with. But I'm going to say it anyways , Live your life dude. You'll get a woman when you're doing your own thing. It's not that serious. And the women who complain about men not approaching them they don't have the confidence to ask you out either. Many things in life goes both ways. Good luck to you and I hope you find happiness in your life.

So far I'm starting to understand that any venue designed for guys and girls to get together will be hyper competitive for guys. Where it's easiest is always where you least expect it.

They take different kinds of dance classes, rock-climbing classes, or join community singing groups. They play in local bands. They join biker groups. They run in local marathons. They volunteer for the local food co-op, or grow food in the community garden/veggie patch. They attend business seminars. They go to the Zen temple or to church, and attend social events in those spiritual communities.

What kind of lady are you looking for?
Great advice on this one.

Shame the OP hasnt come back to respond to your question though.

Some of those venues I've been to, the dudes hang back the whole time, and don't make a move. It's easy pickings for the one guy (me ) who ventures forth. The idea of dudes engaging in a feeding frenzy at social events doesn't play out in real life, half the time. That sounds more like an excuse for not trying. What about that thread someone posted about the group of women at a club, that no one approached? Like I said, easy pickings for any dude who's motivated. No competition at all. Believe it or not, a lot of dudes are spooked by women, and can't get their act together. Weird, I know, but that's the truth. Other times, the women don't turn them on, if they're not all dolled up. But I like the down-to-earth kind. They can surprise you with hidden hotness.

This has been my experience as well. Guys are slowly becoming less forward/aggressive, but women are remaining as passive as they've always been. So in environments like this, it's exactly as described above: lots of women sitting around waiting to be talked to, and lots of men doing the same. Like a middle-school dance.

These have been my thoughts, exactly, at events like that. Except even when women do approach the guys, and try to start a conversation, nothing happens. At that point, the women are wondering why the guys even bothered to attend the event.

This is very rare, most SINGLE guys would jump all over this.

It's not as rare as you might think. It leads the women to wonder if they're chopped liver, or something. I don't know what guys are expecting at events like that. A lineup of models?
