A Man’s Guide for Meeting Women

To meet a woman who may end up being that `special someone`, you’ll have to meet women who enjoy the same interests and activities you do. Unless you’re a skier, or want to learn, it makes no sense spending time at the ski lodge meeting women who are totally into the sport. With that in mind, look to meet women at places you normally visit, or at social activities you enjoy.

Bars and Clubs
These continue to be the most popular spots to meet women, but if you’re not into `clubbing` then this probably won’t suit you. Relationships may blossom from meeting women at bars and clubs, but the odds against this are higher than if you meet women at places where you can find a mutual interest.

Hardware Stores and Lumber Yards
The major hardware and lumber yards now say that 50 percent of their sales are made to women and they’ve directed their advertising and store layouts towards that market. More and more women are obviously becoming do-it-yourself enthusiasts and what could be more natural than to meet women who enjoy shopping at hardware stores as much as men do?

Grocery Stores and Super Markets
Everybody eats which means they have to shop, so this is a prime location to meet women. What can be more pathetic than a man lost in the baking section, staring at the ready-to-bake muffin packages, wondering which one he should choose? And what better way to meet women than by asking for their opinion?

Sporting Events
It doesn’t make any difference what sport any more than it matters if it’s a professional or amateur event. It’s common ground on which to meet women. You can take this a step further and join a sports club that is co-ed. This could be softball, soccer, billiards, darts, or whatever activity you’re interested in. This is always a good way to meet women that enjoy the same sports you do. Imagine – no more fighting over Monday night football!

Museums and Art Galleries
For a more sophisticated appeal, art galleries and museums present excellent opportunities to meet women. You can either be the novice and looking to tap into their knowledge of a subject, or you can be the one enlightening your future partner on the aspects of modern art, or the historical significance of some clay pottery.

City Parks
This is always a good place to meet women, especially on a warm spring or summer day. Depending on the park, you can have many points of interest such as botanical gardens, or historical theme areas. Anyone wandering the local parks has an interest in the outdoors and if this matches your criteria, then here’s where you may just meet that special woman.

Walking, Riding, or Hiking
If you enjoy fresh air, exercise and the outdoors, then any of these activities will provide opportunities to meet women who like the same things you do. You can always kick this one up a notch by offering to take your friend or neighbour’s small puppy for a walk. How can any woman not want to stop and pet your cute little dog? There are also many local hiking and riding clubs that you can join. If you don’t meet women you’ll at least be in better shape for when you do.

Art and Craft Exhibitions
Many communities have outdoor arts and crafts shows, so these can be fun places to meet women. There’s nothing better than talking to a woman who has an interest in the same crafts and hobbies you do.

Local Fairs and Church Events
Every community has a local fair, but they’re most often a yearly event which makes it difficult to meet women – unless you only come down from the mountains once a year. Local churches usually have social functions more often and are good places for casual meetings. Both of these are always full of entertaining activities, and the women you meet here will probably have a wide range of down-home interests.

Car and Boat Shows
Muscle cars and fast boats! Every man’s fantasy and to meet women here would only be icing on the cake. Be careful though, women who take interest in these may be more than you bargained for. Make sure you know what you’re talking about before you open your mouth. If you both have a set of personalized wrenches and some grease under the fingernails, then the woman met here could be the one of your dreams.

Now that you’re pointed in the right direction to meet women - act natural, be yourself and just let it happen. You might not meet your ‘soul-mate’, but you could very well find a life-long friend.
