Make sure you check out their myspace profile, you can learn a lot about a person directly or indirectly by reading their profile.

I avoid bars/clubs like the plague! Only good for one thing, and that's exactly what you listed killer. Not interested in that, well not with someone I'm not in a relationship with.

Can't read their profile if they make it private, and you have to request to be their friend.

*shaking my head*

cpg, cpg...while I share your viewpoint on many things, this is one issue we differ on.

If a person is fairly conservative and traditional, name some venues they would go to in order to be blasted out of their comfort zone...I mean, I've listed a boatload of places...in fact, I think I've covered most of the options.

Well, it's a matter of degrees, RP. I'm certainly not advocating a religious person head to a swinger's party, or a diesel mechanic take flower arranging strictly as a way to meet women.

By comfort zone, I mean the work/gym/favorite hangout/television cycle that so many people get stuck in, and remain there. You know. The established pattern. The rut. Once people are there, they see the same people doing the same things all the time. After a while, one runs through that social group without really finding the right person for them.

Rather, by a little imagination and initiative, the person in question can simply take the time to nurture the interests they already have, whether it's a creative writing class, or hiking, or something else. Rather than say to oneself, "Wellllll, I won't know anybody there," and not go, the person in question can say, "I won't know anybody there, but it's a chance to make new friends."

I just don't think I'm off base with my advice. Too many people remain single because they're too lazy to try new things, to they keep doing the same things day after day, year after year.

Default Default If I'm 23 and not in college, where's the best place to meet women?

"Killer2021" says: "junior high school" but he's posting from the joint. The number is when he gets out.

yea, not so hard to get their last name or myspace profile.

Well I wish you the best of luck in your pursuit of happiness. Finding a good woman is not so easy these days. That is, finding someone who is really a good woman and not a fake.

Don't get hurt too bad out there. It is a war zone.
