Whats the best way? Internet dating?
Parties?
Supermarkets?
Anyone care to share their experiences?
grab em, tape em, throw em in the back of our van; sorted 😯
Well, that MissGulliver and her sister appear to be game.....So, why not just try posting on a random internet forum?
At the Big Bike Bash of course!
There are some real hot women in some of the bands that are playing there.
relearn to make eye contact. There will be girls around you at work/social group etc who will give you signals but you dont pick up on them.
Thanks hora good tip.
WCA shes taken!
PS back at work ...
There are lots more bands queueing up. Use the casting couch to decide which you want to play there.
Good to see your back at work. Any women near you?
relearn to make eye contact.
Fine line between 'eye contact' and pervy learing
Try something chivalrous (yes that's probably spelt wrong) like putting your coat over a puddle for them (nick a coat off a tramp first though!)
From my recent experience, your local butchers. Or STW.
Naked house painting party??
Unfortunately me and MrsWCA can't make it.
Student nightclub
Friends of friends. Always the best way. Just make a big effort to broaden your social circle and it will happen.
Internet dating is ok if you can handle repeated judgemental rejection. A lot of poeple on internet dating sites would like to be at a stage where they could be in a relationship but actually aren't. That's why they are there.
Hobbies is a good one too. But not mountain biking - not enough women involved. Rock climbing is better, if you are into that.
Join a gym.
I was going to start climbing again..
My mates an instructor.
Will give hime a bell.
Have no shame, say nice things. Ladies like compliments. If you get the knock, be nice about it.
Go the pub and get some practice. Opening converstion with random people can be fun.
Freinds of friends can be good.

Buy some video cameras, set up a "production company" and advertise for people with "issues" to come and talk to your "psychologists" and then get naked.
a gym? Who meets women at a gym. Haven't been a member of one for a long time but at no point would it have felt right to go up to some random boiler on a treadmill and start chatting her up.
The gym - some folk can do it, others just can't. You have to either have good technique or very good looks to pull off approaching people while they are busily occupied in an essentially "isolationist" fitness persuit 8) I vote "no" to the gym.
Either the friends of friends option or the get a hobby option are the best, I would say. Just don't sh1t too close to your own nest in the first option...!
Climbing tends to be male dominated too. And the women who climb tend to be stronger than you which can be embarressing.
Go ice skating and feel up chicks as you try to stop yourself from falling over 😀
Rich - meeting people online is NOT the way to go.....trust me 😉

The ratio of females to males is significantly higher in climbing than in mountain biking, particularly at climbing walls, about 30% versus say 10% in MTBing. That was my point.
I have heard aleigh is young, fit and single 😉
A more serious answer is all of them. Just have fun, make friends and hopefully get laid.
I am considering hiring out my 18 month old son to mates to fo the supermarket as he is an utter chick magnet!
If you hav e friends with small kids, take them the supermarket and say you are taking them out to let mum and dad have a bit of quality time together 🙂 Genius!
Well the gym worked well enough for me. I ended up marrying her!
Get a dog.
a gym? Who meets women at a gym.
Houns?? 😉
I thought you only took kids to a supermarket to shout at them?
Stay away from the internet fruitcakes, whilst I got laid a few times that way all of them had issues, one wanted kids immediately, the other would text a million times a day and then go nuts if I didn't respond, another was married etc etc.
Don't ask me why but women can smell a single man from many paces, when you're with someone you usually have to beat them off with a stick. Go figure.
1.Get a job in a big company (with lots of temps)
2.Internet dating definitely works for some people.
3.Go clubbing
Get your mates to put it about that you're actually a secret millionaire...
Thought you were married, Rich?
Join a church group...
4.Don't bother
[i]I have heard aleigh is young, fit and single[/i]
You heard wrong.
I'm kidding, I'm kidding. She is single 😉
IHN - well 1 out of three isn't too bad.
😉
Rich - meeting people online is NOT the way to go.....trust me
Yeah, look at the ones we've managed to make friends with from here!!!!!
😉
I got together with my wife when her cousin kicked me in the shins until I asked her out. Maybe you could try that? Or maybe it only works when you're 13?
Thanks WCA!
Internet fruitcakes, I like that description!
Second Rock Climbing. Very mixed groups, highly social sport, great scope for chatting to randoms on the bouldering wall ("try doing it like this..."). Nearly all of the girls who do it are hot 😉 Well if you like nicely lean semi athletic types. Very incestuous sport.

I have this patronising theory that people are atracted to those they would ultimately wish to mate with: one of the pre-requisites in the (female) human mind is that the mate won't p*ss off at the first sign of dirty nappies.
Naturally, I don't tell any women this theory.... 😉
Dance classes - Ceroc, Leroc or Salsa.
It's like an parallel universe to Mountain Biking. 80% women to 20% men (and some of the men aren't there to meet women).
They must be good with colours then 😀
Nothing wrong with me I have you know!
Anyway, Rich knows me so doesn't need to hear you 'kind' words IHN 😉
[Tannoy} Houns to the forum please. [/Tannoy]
If you just want to have sex with someone, go to a club.
If you want to meet someone nice, go to the library. (this isn't a joke, it really is a good place)

Aah, gay blokes. 😉
Aren't supermarkets the new in place to hook up?

Erm... 😯
I can't believe you're asking this question on here.
Font of all knowledge, STW, innit?
B & Q/Homebase?
I had an interesting experience discussing lawnmowers!!
Alternatively, enjoy the quiet life for a bit.
Font, yes, of knowledge though>? 🙄
Font of all knowledge? More like a bucket of piss.
😉
knowledge not always based on fact 😉
My lads new school teacher is fairly fit, perhaps you could go hang around some schools?
Also ask your ex, I've been recommended that way before to new women.
Supermarkets? I wouldn't want people seeing what's in my trolley, might think I'm an alcoholic!
And then would it be Tesco or Waitrose? Or Aldi? Surely you guys must have a totty rating scheme for each one??!!
"shop-girling" in department stores is my principal "grounds for divorce" activity.
😉
Yo man! is betty not enough woman for you! 😉
I got asked out in the que at scotmid last friday. Very random
Its always the way though, if your single every pub you go to is a sausage fest and as soon as your snagged then women come out of the wood work.

That's a good point, CG.
'Ah, I see you're a Meths man; goodbye!'
its all about economics................. (its not, but its a good starting point for an explination)
If everyone rated themselves out of 10 then that would be your buying power, and assuming an equal number of 10/10 men and 10/10 women etc youd get an equaly good match in a perfect world.
Now say 3.3/10 is rated on appearance, 3.3/10 is on personality and 3.3/10 is on other things like a fancy job, house etc. Obviously your personal oppinions dictate the exact weightings. So for example a dumb blond rates 3.3/10 and a rich, ugly, socialy inept, business man similarly rates 3.3/10.
Now you can only be rated on the first one by first impressions, but............
if your seen chatting to a pretty lady (say an 8.5 on the above rating system) then other women will get an indication of what your other characteristics are like, based on the principle that a if she's a good catch then so must you be (so your score jumps form a max of 3.3/10 to 8.5/10. Where'as an equaly good (or better) looking bloke on his own in the bar doesnt score as highly.
Try it, go for a drink with a friend/ex (preferably good looking) after work, then hang arround afterwards and see if you can get chatting to any of the other women in the bar/cafe/wherever.
People seem to think you have to go out to somewhere new (club) or go on an internet site to meet members of the opposite sex. Part of the problem is you are surrounded daily by the opposite sex, alot will know you but you've tuned your brain into 'I have to travel to find' mode. On my coffee-run in the morning I always open the door to a couple of girls/shared-smile etc. A couple of girls glanced my way the other week, you just have to learn the signals again. Eye-contact, smile, etc. Its not that hard. You only come across pervy if you worried you will look that way. I dont want to sound 'bigheaded' as Im not and I aint no looker either but being sensitive, relaxed and friendly drops alot of girls defenses at work, friends, immediate environment where you hang out etc. I was at the bar in Edinburgh at the weekend got into a dialogue with a girl over the barman. Innocent but deep down she didnt know Quagmire was within me...and [i]shock and awe[/i] wasnt far from my mind..... ;oD
I found going on a charity walk up Ben Nevis worked a treat, but you may want to wait till the wether warms up a bit....
At my age I hang around outside the bingo halls
Thanks all.
some great points there and thanks to all who know me 🙂
Confidence is the key.
Also give compliments, women spend hours getting ready as we all know. They like being told that have done a good job.
rohypnol?
Have a chat with Keith in Biketreks!!
He got me and MrFC together!!! 8)
Get drunk, apply the beer goggles...
Don't write off getting involved in 'male' orientated hobbies. If you increase your circle of male friends as they will have sisters / female friends you can bump into.
Treat all women nicely/well when in any group. There is nothing more off putting than a bloke who shows interest in one woman and is rude or off hand with all the other women with her (ie they are an inconvenience in his way). Most women are flattered by a little marked attention, but not rude excluding behaviour towards people she cares about. It is surprising how many men are rude in this way - it points a great deal to the less pleasant side of their personality.
Language evening classes at your local university or college. I went last year and in a class of about 20 there were 3 guys, only 2 under 50. Then the whole class is asking them about their relationship status, what they like, where they go for drinks etc etc etc. You're basically chatting them up a little bit each lesson.

Sounds like an invitation...
Who's up for a threesome with these two then?
I've found walking into bars and shouting 'I'm Hora, shag me till my ears bleed!' at the top of my voice works wonders. Women drop their defences instantly, now I'm not immodest, but believe me, being a self-promoting, sex-obsessed sleazebag really does work. Women love it. They know exactly what I'm after and my 'Shock and Awe' thong is the finishing touch. Rudebot, e's well fit innit geezer? Etc, ad nauseum...
Met my GF on FitnessSingles, had a great time with that site. Only a member for 3 months, went on a load of dates MTBing, walking in the Peaks etc with really nice women nd somewhere around date #10 met my current GF (MTBing in Peaks) and cancelled membership the next week.
*chuckles* 8)
Glad to see you back here TSA!
He has just turned up at my house with a bottle of wine and some flowers for MrsWCA!!!!
Cheers Rich
Web dating?
Or just say how you doin?
Don't ask out ladies from work-if you have to dump them and you see them again everyday they will go bright red and wish you were dead.
Meet in a night club-yep great class of lady there not!
If you're good looking / confident / find chatting to women easy then .... internet*, bar, club, hobbies, evening school etc. etc.
If you're not then try solo night riding - you meet the same number of women but you enjoy yourself !!! Trust me, I speak from experience 😉
* OK so I met a few of the internet fruit cakes - you're the third or fourth bloke they've met this week and you haven't made the top five.
My lads new school teacher is fairly fit, perhaps you could go hang around some schools?
I seriously think that could end in tears!
I think theres a site called fitness singles or something similar, which is meant to be good for meeting people who are into sports other than football.
Personally I'd rather be single than go hunting, if I came across someone while going about the things I enjoy then all good, otherwise it's too forced!
Dave, night ridding arroud dogging spots doest count as dateing!
anyone you meet on the internet = a fruitcake, however good in bed they may be
Ok,obviously you are struggling to meet chicks. Ive never had a problem since I learnt to dance.
Women actually adore men who can dance.
I personally breakdance, and I know about half the guys that breakdance at the same club as me do it to pull chicks. It is amazing. They are bog standard looking guys. Soon as they show a bit of confidence on the dance floor women start showing interest. Women are always coming up and asking how I learnt, where they can. how amazing it looks. Now, isnt that an easy way start talking to girls!
Now breakdancing is not for everyone. I have also started Salsa lessons. My god. So many single ladies go. Never enough men. Guess what, you get to dance with all of them ! And Salsa is just about as sensual as a dance gets. Apart from argentinian tango. But thats just flipping ridiculous!!
Even if you cant dance for shit for the first 4 attempts, you will eventually pick it up. And the ladies will appreciate a man who can lead.
Make sure you smell fresh, have a nice after shave like 'issey miyake' or Diesel fuel for life. Fresh breath and you are away!!
Good Luck !!
Local swimming club, chicks adore a man in tight speedos.
[i]If you want to meet someone nice, go to the library. (this isn't a joke, it really is a good place)[/i]
Agreed.
Hanging around with an attractive female friend works wonders for getting eye contact from other girls. Even if they're wondering how on earth you're together ;O)
