Men! It’s time to wake up

You are tired of being single...If your answer is Yes then this thread is for you.

I used to think that the only place to meet quality women was knowing how to dance and going at the clubs or the bars to get a drink or two. I could not have been more wrong. Women are everywhere. I went to a museum today (some might say that’s boring I’m way too cool to hang out in a museum) and met some very nice ladies there. At first I went through the whole museum fast it took me 30 min. Then I went back to see some painting that caught my attention and I Stopped at Pablo Picasso's painting The Embrace. I started paying attention carefully and some bystanders grouped around me and left, I asked a lady right beside me "what do you see?" she seemed surprise at first and then told me two people holding each other. She smiled and I smiled back. I told her that Picasso was an expert in Cubism (something I remembered from my school years). I continued my tour and met other ladies with a lot of enthusiasm to talk about the paintings they knew and what we saw. Never thought a museum could be such a great place to meet women. After I exited the museum I went for a bite and saw a woman eating alone. I asked if I could eat with her (since I was in the food court of the mall close and it’s hard to find a place to eat alone) we were total strangers until I asked what reasons brought her to the mall and we talked about what we did during our day (talked for 1 hours).


It made me realize that the Once upon a time...There was a prince charming (A man with guts that searched the whole kingdom for the girl who left her shoe at the exit of the party). My point is you don’t need to be Arnold or Antonio Bandera to meet women, just be presentable, Create opportunities and Be the Challenge of the Day (keep her guessing). Leave a good impression out of you. Only imagine after she goes back to her friends and tells them the complete details of how she met you (A mysterious charming man)... Not in a bar half drunk hopefully but more like the totally random dude that had the guts to approach her and challenge her intellectually and leaving her with a feeling of “I would like to know more about this guy”.

Rule N.1 Keep the Conversation Simple
Rule N.2 Be Confident
Rule N.3 Be Original
Rule N.4 Be Polite
Rule N.5 Any where any time....Be spontaneous, Be a challenge, Be the Story that will make her friends jealous about "owning you" (or having made you commit).
Rule N.6 Smile

The world is your oyster

Any other great places to meet women will be welcome.
Any other testimony of random encounters that became a Happily ever after story is also welcome.

Congratulations. You went to an event where women shared the same interest as you. It worked. More importantly you went in without a goal of meeting some one but ended up doing so. Your quick witty reflexive unplanned response to a total stranger was unintentional luck on your part because the woman next to you loved your response.

Since I work a few minutes from what's called "The Museum District" in downtown Houston I will have to visit more museums too

Good post Chris245. Way to expand outside of the norm and create new opportunities for yourself.

Uh, it's not quite a newsflash that there are women everywhere.

Oh the topic! I forgot the topic. Well when I was single if i wanted a one night stand i would hit up the bars. The women in bars want one night stands..

When I wanted a woman of my dreams I just go and do what I do.... I met one at a Buck Skinners Ron Dee Voo in 88, by 90 we were living together, both recently divorced from other people (apx a year out) By 95 we married.

OH Chit! This Thurdays is the annversary!

Chris thaks IOU

well, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I think your approach is a reasoned one.

Thank you for spreading the word to all the men out there! I would definitely rather meet a nice guy while sitting at the park rather than dating online. I have asked my male roommate to spread the word to all the guys in San Francisco that they can definitely start conversations in person.

Even if we don't find our next date, our cities will become friendlier again. Chris245, you are awesome!

One lady!

Very encouraging....I wish more guys would take the initiative to talk. Most are so afraid of rejection that they won't say a word. Good for you!

I approach women with the idea that I'm meeting a friend and not with the Idea of having sex. Because if you think of approaching her to have sex its like you are asking to be Rejected.
