Thanks to our social skills today, people don't break out of their Facebook groups too often. If you have popular friends, try to hang out with them as often as possible. They'll offer you great social opportunites (going to the beach with a group, getting invited to a party, night out on the town, etc). That's a great way to meet people you otherwise wouldn't meet.

The online dating thing is a great option to have, but from my own dry experiences, I wouldn't suggest any guy who's 5'9" not making 100K a year put ALL your effort on it unless you like heartbreak soup!

O' I agree about the online dating thing. I've discovered if your not perfect in every single way then no one will communicate with you. Since I lack the Demigod qualifications they so much demand there isn't much luck for me with those sites.

In the real world it's more of click situation in social settings. People aren't too open or inviting to their circle.

Needless to say, I don't have any friends. So, I have no choice but paddle theses stormy seas alone.

Not a quick fix, but it works with time.

What are you interested in?

I've tried all of those things well except maybe the Yoga, LOL (Not My thing)...

When it comes to Body Type, I am truly average. I'm not one of those people who claim to be average when in fact they are not. I can understand someone wanting to feel better about their body but lying about it only hurts yourself.

As for what I desire in a woman: She needs to be friendly & honest. She needs to be Intelligent but not narcissistic about it. She needs to be one that gives no thought about dressing up nice or getting her fingernails dirty. I tend to prefer women between 5' & 5' 5"... I prefer brunettes to blonds. I prefer brown eyes to blue...

What a sneaky way to try to get a date...

I did not mean what physical traits interest you... but what activities or hobbies, etc. For example, if you are into cars and want to find a woman into cars, you need to attend car events (like the thing on Church St.) or join car meet-up groups, etc.

If you are into clubbing, go to the clubs. If you want to find a vegan because you are a vegan, go to some of the vegan coffee shops or attend some of the workshops in the city (there are many). Just examples.

Figure out what YOU are interested in and would enjoy doing it... and then do it. You'll have fun and will likely meet a woman who shares that interest.

^ This is the ticket right here.

Go to places that interest YOU and I am sure you'll find at least a friend that you can make that will eventually click with you.

Try going to these places not looking for a potential hook up, but maybe just for friends, and if one of those happens to be a fairly attractive woman that fits the bill in personality and appearance, just hope it all falls into place. There is nothing quite like falling in love with a friend, after all.

Suggestions welcomed

Hate to be discouraging as I rarely have anything negative to say about Orlando but Orlando is one of the worst cities in the country to be a single male

There are very few if any single women in this town and usually the ones who are, are single mothers, women who have more baggage than a Brazilian tourist, women who aren't exactly mentally stable

I know Im going to get attacked for this (this means you annerk) but Im simply calling it as I see it

And in a seriousness IronHorse444, I wish you the best of luck and hope you find somebody but be warned, the pickings for single women of any age group are slim to none

Don't I know it... This town makes LA look like it has scruples.

I've lived here the better part of 20 years and if you're no demigod women just won't speak to you.

I get out all the time but I'll tell you it's pretty horrible to do stuff alone. That's why I tried the online dating stuff but that only made me feel worse. It was like getting conformation of my worst suspicions. No one would view my profile and those I wrote wouldn't reply. What conclusion could I gather from that other than I wasn't attractive enough to anyone?

I think at least 10% if not more of the profiles in online dating sites are bogus and made to give hope that the site might actually work. The internet is full of thieves.

One thing I've heard, "If you have good friends and can handle it, there is no reason to get married." Whether that's right or wrong, some of the best times of my life I just had friends and no romantic interests. (Crushes on gals, sure.)

It took a while, but at some point I realized I wasn't going to marry a supermodel (don't tell my wife. ) It took even longer for me to stop comparing myself to others.

Now, married with a kid, I don't regret anything, and I really like my life, but I realize that I never needed to get married and I never needed to have a kid. It's nice. For me at least. I know some people who don't want to go home after work. So bear all that in mind.

(Not trying to be negative, just trying to be real.)

Have you tried finding friends and (potential) romantic partners online... but through more casual places (like Facebook, message boards, blogs)? Just thinking that you might have the opportunity to get to know them (and v.v.) before there is any "dating" pressure involved.
