[lifeblog holiday]

This blog will only be update about once a month.

I've decided that the time I spent blogging will now be spent mostly on new hobbies; if a jar is full you have to take out something old in order to put in something new.

I'll be back to regular updates in 2011.

Where Not To Meet Single Women part1

--
Here is a quick brain dump of where not to meet single women who live in your city.

Weddings
If you are in your 30s and go to a wedding where one of the people getting married is in their thirties then there will be no single women at the wedding who live in your city. You will meet a couple of guys who seem like a catch however. Man drought my ass.

You might meet a bunch of great galls, but don't get excited, they are back from overseas briefly or live in another city.


Social Dancing
Social dancing and dance lessons are about dancing, not meeting people. No action here, move along. Social dancing people don't bring their friends along because their friends are very scared of the dancing. Chickens.

Barbecues
If you host a kick-ass barbecue and your are a single guy, no women whom you do not know well will turn up. Only men seem comfortable going to a barbecue where they do not know the host very well.

The Gym
There are lots of hot ladies at the gym. Tons of them are probably single, but you will never know because you only run into people you know at the gym, you don't actually meet anybody there. Whole classes full of people where the only person anybody knows is the instructor who introduces themselves via loudspeaker at the beginning of the class.

The consolation prize is that you might have months of good-cute-girly-bottom-lycra-karma.

Weddings
I'll be sure to invite some hot single chicks for you next time I get married. But now that you mention it I think there were only two single women from Welly at the wedding. (Did you spot them Wally watchers?)

Social Dancing
I can't believe that. I thought social dancing was the holy grail of meeting women? I've been to 3 classes and all have had men > women - and I struck up a few conversations. I guess they were just being friendly? Or maybe it was just my stunning good looks and witty repartee.

BBQs
Correct, however you do host a good BBQ!

Gym
All true. I never knew about the good-cute-girly-bottom-lycra-karma. I'll pay more attention next time :-)

You aren't filling me with a whole lot of hope here, you know.

Any suggestions that might prove more fruitful?

Ah that brings back fond memories of my forays into gym membership.

Especially the girl who believed wearing towels in the sauna was unhealthy....

Let me think where I've met guys recently...

Friends' birthdays. Friends' flatmates. Findsomeone. Karaoke bars.

Certainly didn't meet any playing in a women's basketball team. Or playing mixed netball, for that matter. Though, I had fantasies of marrying a tall guy called 'Seb' we played once. He wore glasses.

And not at work - not when you work at an all girls' school with about six male staff, all of whom are married/old/stoners.

I feel your pain.

Me and Ange are available to help guys set up great findsomeone profiles. We know what girls look for!
