Anonymous wrote:Open board game night at the friendly local gaming store seems to be at least 75% men. Of course, many of them are married or gay, but you'll run into that issue with any social activity. And it's not a great way to meet men if you don't enjoy board gaming, because the men you meet will assume you're into board gaming. That's the problem with tailoring your activities to where you think the men are—what if you don't actually enjoy the activities that men are into?

So my advice is do whatever social activities you enjoy—not because you think there will be men there, but because you enjoy them. If you connect with someone, hooray. If you don't, you're still doing something you enjoy.


No, thanks. A bunch of D&D types hanging out in “the gaming store.” That’s a good way to find someone who will spend all of their free time playing World of Warcraft.

The workplace is not your personal dating meat market. This is no longer acceptable. #metoo


To adult adults can meet and fall in love at work, and it doesn’t make the place a “dating meat market.”

Good call in avoiding OLD. You do not meet high value people on those sites.

I beg to differ. I met my SO on OKCupid 12+ years ago and she's plenty high value. And I am, too.

Why does no one ever have recent examples of success in OLD? The landscape has changed since 2012.


My friend met her husband online 5 years ago. They both have PhDs and big careers.

I met my DH at work. We are lawyers and met at a DOJ litigating division. We are not the only couple from that division. I can think of at least four other married couples from our job, and there are probably more now (I no longer work there, DH does).

You ready to take up hunting, fishing, shooting? Warhammer 40k?

Weightlifting is certainly achievable and the gym bros would love it if you approached them. Just don't expect them to approach you because too many women have said "never approach me at the gym!"


She wanted tips to meet men, not trans women!

Which Whole Foods? The one in Vienna everyone is married


I hope you aren’t single and living in Vienna. If you are, that’s your first problem.
Bear Branch Inn, that’s where the young singles go in Vienna, young being relative of course.

My 36yo friend just got engaged to a guy she met in community theater (no the guys aren’t all gay). They both do lighting and stage design stuff, not acting.
