AA meetings! Don't be creepy and lie - try to find a friend who has a problem and tag along as moral support.

...or stop faking the funk altogether and become an alcoholic

Yeah, I can't imagine it being much more than a digitized version of real life...

I think the best way is just to ask out some random girl that you find attractive, as superficial as that sounds.
Best advice I've seen yet. When I see a girl that's attractive (both physically and in demeanor), no matter where that is, I go up and make conversation. The most common mistake is that people only approach females in a certain "venue" where they feel comfortable. Be willing to make friendly conversation at the gas station, grocery store, etc. and if things go well, ask to see them again (ie phone number).
 
Maybe it would be easier to find the girl you are seeking if society would quit telling all the young innocents that its cool to be a "HO", to act like and look like a "HO", and have illegitimate children right and left from being a "HO".

You simply dont like what you see after the feel good/rap and tap that "HO" generation had its way. It started way back with Hippies and flower children but this generation has topped the all time low in this country for ethics. Time to get with your peers and turn that bad situation around or many more people will end screwed up than you can ever imagine.

Yeah I know Im just an old timer who just isnt smart like all these young dumb asses out there screwing everything that walks, and you are all just laughing at me. But when Im on my death bed looking back at all the fvckedup people that you will be supporting in twenty years will you be laughing then? I hope you all pull your heads out before its too late. IMHO

I'd like to know the average too... I do see alot of cuter girls on match.com more than others.

It may just be different for areas, but as I discussed above, I found the least amount of people on Match.com and have talked to the least amount. I believe I've also been on that site the longest out of all.

Oh, and I signed up for that plentyoffish website. I don't like that you can't just "mention" that you're interested. You know, something like a wink or a poke. 'cause I tend to search and open up multiple profiles and writing e-mails to each... ehhh that'd take too long. I'd rather be like "hey" and them be like "hey" and then we could strike it off as we both found each other interesting enough to talk to.

When you do a 'hey' or poke or whatever, do they usually email you back or just do it back to you at which point you would then email?

Why is that better than just emailing?

And what do you mean that you don't meet those standards? Are you older or younger?
 
I have no idea where the hell you meet girls but I am surprised to see that so many people recommend church. I am Catholic and every time I go to church, it is mostly old people there. A vast majority are old. What church religion do you go to where young people actually attend? If it is one of these mega churches which preach about how gay people are going to hell, then I sure would not look there unless I wanted to end up with some screwed up girl (I'd just go to a bar if I wanted that).

I'm younger and a little shorter.
 
I'm old and short too.
I can still get a girl once in a while.
Matter of fact I currently have something goin' on with a nice little MILF.
I play my cards right this Sunday and we could be making the beast.
 
I don't like the fact that there aren't Indian girls on match.com. If you search for "Asian", all you get is Chinese/Japanese/Korean/etc, girls. I guess INdian girls are on those INdian matrimonial websites!

The gay thing is another good avenue. Make gay friends. Don't be fake about it, just open to meeting guys who share similar interests. Some gay guys have very attractive female friends who trust them,so if they introduce you to their friends you have their seal of approval.. You're not some pig. I work at the Gay/Lesbian center as a volunteer and, yes, I've had dates due to it.

I am in complete agreement with all you advice thus far. Its the best, tried & true method. Some of your YAGTs come off sounding like you dont know sh!t, but you clearly know something about meeting women. 🙂 :thumbsup:

Won't work if you're the youngest person in class.
The average age here is +4 yrs older than myself and most have already tied their knots or are in process of doing so...

Not that I'm looking for anyway 😉

Agreed.

 
Many girls at bars aren't "lushes" Some only go on occasion for girls night out or some only go in order to meet men there age. Not all go just to get hammered.
