    :D

    Anyone know where to go where there are less men than women?

    I think I'm done with pubs, went to a singles night last night and it was awful ****e. I don't have much luck on tinder, or dating websites. It seems i'm **** out of luck.

    I do yoga but the women are mostly stuck up or don't want to be chatted up.

    might try dancing classes :o

    You could try to be gay. Sausage fests will be a meat market for you then.

    Is house in a estate ? Could be street lighting , seen this done many times when I was carrying out inspection reports ,

    Is Tinder dead? There seems to be nobody on it anymore.

    OP try OkCupid. It's free and you can put down exactly what you're looking for. It has a decent percentage system that matches your profile with others who are similar.

    Or you could stick a fleshlight on a Barbie doll.

    Options.

    So I went out last night to meet some friends of a friend, they were a group of Irish girls. It brought back memories of how I used to go out to get drunk when I lived in ireland. I felt so uncomfortable amongst the group, they were boring and not very mannerly. They were just interested in getting pished. I had a few myself and a few laughs.

    Sometimes I think the drink is a cover up for opening up, one thing I noticed about this group of gals is that none of the appeared authentic and engaging. Its a shame but reminded me of how I've changed in recent times.

    Every restaurant in Dublin seems to be packed 80% women 20% couples. Grab a mate and hit the ones that are more conducive to inter table chat like Coppanger Row, Fade St. Social or Super Miss Sue.

    Pick any of countless hobbies that have a higher ratio of women to men. In college I did gymnastics - it was like 6 girls to every 1 guy. Worked out great for me.

    If you like working out - take a yoga class, spin class, dance class, or whatever else. Odds are it'll be mostly women. I went to a 'swing dance' thing in college once or twice - and it was like 70% women.

    If sitting down is more your thing - take an arts class, poetry class, a theatre class or whatever else. Most of the time, it's mostly girls. Plus, it's cool to be able to paint.

    The best thing, IMHO, you could do is meet some new female *friends*. When your social group is mostly girls, you'll find yourself surrounded by girls all the time.

    EDIT: I think you'd be better off with online dating. If you're *just* looking to meet girls and get upset/frustrated/disappointed when a girl doesn't respond well to your chatting her up - online dating is perfect. You only chat with the girls who want to chat with you. Saves time and let's you go straight on to the good stuff.

    I've heard gay bars are a good place to meet straight women, due to a lot of them going there with their gay friends. They are generally more off guard and approachable apparently.

    Theres one problem with this plan. How do you tell a straight girl from a gay girl in a gay bar. It's not like they have name tags that say "Clarissa - straight"

    Does the yoga place provide a locker for you to keep your balls while you're doing the yoga?

    Stuck up bitches wanting to exercise in peace and not be bothered by some lecherous creep.

    The audacity.

    Good point - he should get a name badge for himself "lufties - straight" just in case.

    I went to a lot of house parties when I lived there. I couldn't afford to go out much.

    You could start a social group where your common interests would draw you together, some thing like this perhaps?

    Maybe they're spoken for too. People don't really go to yoga for getting dates.

    Would you not have known that anyway?

    True, but maybe it doesn't feel comfortable to them - yoga-class isn't like a bar where you're dressed up and in mode for chatting up. I wouldn't agree with anyone being rude to you though.

    smiling isn't threatening, or intimidating...The yoga I go to is in a posh part of london so perhaps thats something to do with it.

    I don't mean smiling by itself - and I didn't say anything about threatening or intimidating.
    Just choose the right environment. A lot of people want to just do their exercise and keep to themselves. I'd be the same. I'd never be rude to anyone though, I'm not defending that.

    Do you want to have more female friends and female interactions or looking for a gf/ons type friend?

    Ballroom dance; samba; fitness classes; toastmasters; volunteer at the dog pound; an evening class. It's a bit much to do any of these just to meet a woman (instead of doing them for their own sake) but the potential is increased.

    We hear so much talk about how social the Irish are but if the pub-trade were to close tomorrow, we wouldn't know what to do with ourselves.

    I'm actually there to exercise too. In fairness if a woman started chatting to me I would respond and I think most men would. It must be just women. I guess there is a shortage of women in comparison to men, I reckon its supply and demand, for every attractive female there is 5 or 6 men fighting for her affections, hence women can be picky.

    Girls may have tried to hit on me or flirt in the gym, but I wouldnt know, because when Im there, I'm looking elsewhere, trying to concentrate on what im doing, and tbh hoping no-one sees me. I wouldnt try to flirt with a girl there for the same reason. Same for yoga when I did it. The yoga class I did was 95% female, but I was very much aware that a wayward comment could make me persona non grata instantly.

    OP, what about a cookery class? Sure to be female dominant, but you all won't be in yoga pants, doing awkward poses or feeling self-concious.

    Chatting people up at yoga is quite creepy.

    If you're gonna go all economics on it, the rational response is to move down the attractiveness curve until you find your point of equilibrium.


    In other words, either lower your standards and see how that goes or focus instead on developing your hobbies/interests/etc in a way which increase your chances of meeting new people you might like (not just for relationships, mind) and that'll ideally boost your chances of meeting someone you like while actually enjoying yourself.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 882 ✭✭✭ygolometsipe


    Fair play OP, your putting in the effort!
    I procrastinate, its easier.

    I hope someday, you nail the posh girl from the yoga class....

    I found some inspiration for you...
