karenmeal 0 #27 April 25, 2006 Meet women who are doing the same sort of things that you like to do. (Drinking beer, bullshitting, skydiving...) If you venture out of your element to meet a woman, you probably won't have as much in common with her. Then you'll be one of those guys who has to make up a new excuse every weekend about why you are staying late at the DZ. ("Yes honey, I am really stuck editing videos until 1:00 am." or "I'm waiting for triple A to come open my car because I locked my keys in there for the 3rd weekend in a row.") If you meet a chick at the DZ you can hang out with all of your buddies, skydive, and drink beer around the bonfire all night long! (Unless you need to go home so that you can have sex some place besides the jump planes.)

karenmeal 0 #30 April 26, 2006 Quotei agree with ya karen but if his DZ is anything like my dz, there are a million hotties but they are all in serious relationships. Why does a girl have to be hot to consider having a relationship with her? If you will only date "hotties" then yeah, the selection may very well be limited. But if you are looking for a good woman, then "hotness" should not be the primary factor in determining who you date. Go for the girl who offers you a beer as you're landing at sunset.. or packs your parachute just to be nice. Those are the keepers. (And you should return those favors too.)

billvon 3,120 #35 April 26, 2006 >Go for the girl who offers you a beer as you're landing at sunset.. Reminds me of a story. I was at Lost Prairie one year and they really needed another AFF-I to do someone's level 3. I said "sure" figuring it would add some variety to the week. It was this local woman, I think she was 18 or 19, who wanted to get through the program before the boogie was over so she could jump with someone. So I jumped with her as reserve side. Afterwards John told her to pay me $30 directly, instead of going through the DZ. When she came by to pay me, I told her I'd rather just have her buy me a beer at the demo. (Well, the beer was free, but what the heck.) We did the demo, and just as I landed, this woman came running over with a beer for me. Mad John was looking at me thinking "how the hell did von Novak pull that one off?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rebecca 0 #36 April 26, 2006 Dude, Karen is wise. Listen to her. Try this too: Imagine a conversation with a potentially dateable chick. If you said, "So, what do you like to do?" what could she say that would pique your interest? A: I rockclimb = you go to climbing gym B: I LOVE (old, action, foreign, retarded 80's) movies = hang out in that section of Blockbuster C: I surf... you get the idea Go to Barnes & Noble near a university or other target-rich environment, hang out in your favorite sections and browse. Meet chicks or find a new book. Win-win. Get yourself a wingman, go to a club/bar/pub, find the cool chicks (note: develop acid test for that prior to going), and get yourself some digits. Otherwise, just keep your eyes open and take every opportunity to make new friends. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

Douva 0 #41 April 26, 2006 QuoteQuotethis ain't a how to, but a how do i ? and no don't say at the dz... i go there to skydive and drink..... It's really simple. Two steps: 1. Figure out where there are a lot of women. 2. Go there. Actually, that's a great way to SEE a lot of women. In the immortal words of Cat Stevens, "I've seen a lot of girls since then. If I could meet 'em I could get 'em, but as yet I haven't met 'em. That's how I'm in the state I'm in." QuoteI've heard church is a great place to meet women, but I can't tell you for sure. It's been my experience that church is a great place to meet women who fall into one of the following four categories: 1. They're too opinionated and judgmental to ever be any fun. 2. They're too homely and/or socially inept to find friends elsewhere. 3. They're there strictly to find a man to put an M-R-S in front their names. 4. They're nice enough and attractive enough, but church is their "thing," the way skydiving is the "thing" for most of the people on this board, and that makes them %@&#ing unbearable to be around. Number 1 doesn't work because she's too bitchy. Number 2 doesn't work because she's a freak who should live in a bell tower. Number 3 doesn't work (unless you're also in a rush to get married) because she has a one track mind that's already picking out your future children's names on your first date. Number 4 doesn't work because church is one of the few things on earth that's more annoying to an outsider than skydiving.I don't have an M.D. or a law degree.

Hence the book or movie section he likes might be a place to look... Sorry, but the movie section probably isn't going to work. Most young, single, attractive women go OUT on Friday or Saturday nights. If they're renting a movie, it's because they have someone with whom to snuggle up and watch it. If you're a great bullshit artist, the book store might work. Unless they're shopping for textbooks or something like that, most people take a leisurely approach to book buying, so you might be able to engage a woman in a conversation in that environment, if you're either a smooth enough talker or well-read enough to find an "in" (i.e., discussing the author whose work she's browsing). I think the Target idea is probably bogus. That kind of shit might work if you're either a Greek Adonis or one of those guys who can smooth talk the habit off a nun, but for the rest of us, that's like trying to shoot down a fly with a slingshot. Unless you're at one of those stores that has a reputation for being a meeting place (there's a Publix in Tallahassee, FL, with such a reputation), most of the women you encounter at grocery and department stores will have an agenda and limited time for chitchat. In short, you're not what they're shopping for. Besides, 90% of the women (and men) at the grocery store, the gym, and everywhere else you might encounter them in the twenty-first century have cell phones or MP3 players fused to their ears.I don't have an M.D. or a law degree.
