GirlovesArt Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Hi there! I 'm in a female dominated profession. All of my friends are female and most of them are married now.. I'm tired of the mind games from OLD. I'm not good at drinking ..so heading to pubs is not my cup of tea. What are the good ways to meet nice guys ? Any suggestions would be welcomed.

Surely you haven't always been in female dominated professions or venues. What age are you? I'm going to hazard a guess here and say you are early to mid 30's. Link to post Share on other sites
kart180 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Coffee shops, walmart, gym ,home depot. I am very nice guy and usually go shopping at publix or walmart.

organizedchaos Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Do some volunteering. Any guy who spends his time volunteering to help others is probably someone you want to meet. Check out meetup.com if you don't know where to start or Google it in your area. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Any suggestions would be welcomed. well according to Big Bang Theory - you can go to a Comic Book store and meet some nerds there. there are some online things like world of warcraft that has nice guys. But it really depends on what you are looking for in a guy - then you should go where they are or become friends with people who hang out in those circles. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Have you done this before? Link to post Share on other sites
organizedchaos Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Just curious, how would you pick up a female shopping at Walmart? Have you done this before? In the grocery section, strike up a conversation on some ingredient for a recipie you're making. Electronics, mention how brand x makes better tv's. Clothing, ask her if she thinks this might look good on you. Then take the conversation from there. Pretty simple. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

True but I never started up a conversation in a grocery store as I would assume that the women are taken and the young women are always more interested in their friends that me. I do have a social axenity problem as I am worried to interact with women in person. I am very good at talking online but not in person unless I am working with them.

Leegh Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Hiking clubs are a good bet. In addition, where I live, in the spring, a local park offers bird watching walks early in the morning. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

d0nnivain Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 You can meet nice guys everywhere. Who's around when you get your morning coffee or have lunch? If someone catches your eye, smile at him & say hi. Have you told the married women you work with that you would be open to meeting their husband's single friends? Volunteering & getting involved in hobby groups that interest you are good ideas. You will already have something in common. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Why would you assume a woman in a grocery store is taken? Single women don't shop for food??? Worried they're married? Look for a ring while talking. If married, nothing wrong with friendly conversation with a stranger. And it'll get you off your asocial anxiety issues with women. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
preraph Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Go anywhere and do anything that you personally love to do. Follow your passions. That's where you'll meet someone compatible. Meanwhile, you're having fun with or without a man if you make yourself go do something you love or have always wanted to do. Do volunteer work in a field you are interested in. Take a class and learn to do something. Jewelry making, leatherwork, cooking, basic mechanics. Just go do fun things to meet people in a natural way who have something in common with you. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

M30USA Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Nobody is nice. I would be more concerned with who is actively pursuing Jesus Christ. Nice is nothing more than a deceptive appearance. Ask any neighbor of a serial killer or campus shooter and they all say how "nice" of a guy he was. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I know single women do shop for food but I just communication problems. Unless its about computing or tv shows I really can keep a conversion in person. I can text and IM a women no problem.

Just ask a woman for advice on some item you're looking at or if she's looking at a computer mention how such and such computer is better, etc.. Even if the goal isn't to ask her out but just to get over your issues of anxiety of communicating with women! 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Haydn Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I always had more luck in the children`s section. (Not Walmart, H and M) Good looking young dad (not unlike myself). Buying skinny jeans for my 3 year old at the time....Well the mothers were pretty smitten with my choices. Many coffee mornings later.......... PS Kart, your Just British. Not English, no such thing. I am a Brit. (Please thats not an invitation to quibble) This would get old pretty fast, especially sifting through those who are taken. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, I will try and do that, I am just good at chating online to people more than in person. The computer buying tip is a good one. Link to post Share on other sites
