It's the age old challenge for a lot of women: figuring out how to meet men you want to get to know better. Do the old standards-in a bar, at the grocery store, at work-hold up or are there better ways to meet single men worth taking home to meet the folks?
Travel
Vacations for singles can be terrific places to meet men. When a group of people travel to unfamiliar territory, it eliminates the cliques and cliches and lets you get down to the business of having fun and finding things you have in common. Some of the best cities to meet men include Boston, Jacksonville, and Paradise. Other great places to vacation and wind up finding someone special include Atlanta, Seattle and the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. So jump in the car or hop and plane and take a weekend away and meet someone new.
Cross Party Lines
Are you into politics? Political rallies are a great place to meet men. If you have a favorite candidate, get involved in the campaign and find yourself working side-by-side with a guy you can sit down and have some long, heated conversations with-and see where the heat takes you.
Find a Foodie
Sink your teeth into the local steakhouse-especially later in the evening when the ball games are ending. You'll find plenty of guys who stop in for a bite after they finish playing ball and others who are there to watch the pros play. Another hot spot to meet a guy-especially if you're looking for college-age men? The local coffee shop is the place to pick up a buzz-and start a little buzz of your own with someone new.
Work Up a Sweat
If workouts are your thing, try the gym or a rock climbing wall. Guys who work out love to meet ladies who share the passion for pumping the iron and those adventurous types? Well, you're sure to turn his head if you show him nothing slows you down. Go ahead and try to beat him at his own game. You both might wind up winners.
