Like how do you put yourself out there? Where do you go if you're actual intention is to potentially meet a man?

All my men have been met through friends or I have known them forever.

Still trying to figure out where to go! I stopped making big effort. When it wants to happen, it'll happen.

I do not go anywhere with only that specific thing in mind. Meat market settings seemed geared towards hook-up culture (not into it). I just try and stay social (not naturally very social) and do things that interest me. I am pretty open to meeting someone anywhere, but the man has to initiate.

To the person that was to chicken to post publicly, but felt the need to rep me that I go to the state penitentiary to meet men...


I have dated one guy from jail and he was there on drug charges as he was a recovered addict. He was not violent. I have also known him since we were kids.

When I met my sons father, he was just honorably discharged from the US military, had a good job, and no criminal record what so ever. He met me and quit his job. He did not start getting arrested until after we split up. I think it was because I was no longer managing his bipolar with diet and rest. His new woman does not realize he is crazy yet.

But you still have hopes of meeting a woman that is young enough to have children?

When I was looking, I tried everywhere that is suggested in all of the magazines, etc:

- Supermarkets: this worked once for a hookup but never was able to meet a guy.

- Volunteering: Only met people who were already in relationships.

- Meetups: usually only met older people who shared my interests.

- Outdoor activities: Again, only met couples or people who were already in relationships.

I've been interacting with a friend of a friend on Facebook who appeals to me. Just found out he is in a relationship.

I'm convinced that there are no single guys that share my interests within a 200 mile radius, so I gave up.

Dancing is a great way for women to meet gay guys. Any guy I know who is straight and good at dancing, the females say they are just there to have fun, not start a relationship. Sooooo
