Hey ladies, we've been complaining about guys a lot lately - I'm hoping we can strategise instead.
So far, I've been meeting new people and doing hobbies I enjoy and feel fully ready to meet somebody. With my hobbies, I have met a good number of men, but no one that makes me go "wow." I like my hobbies and o won't be quitting them just because there aren't hot men (of course).
I have made use of past feedback here about making more female friends too, and so far it's been working! 😁
My question is - where specifically can I meet someone who is a good, handsome man?
I've been single since my 2006 divorce, and I have no idea where to meet a decent guy much less a handsome, decent guy. I've tried everything from Meetups, bars, kickball, classical and rock concerts, gyms, running races, charities, asking my friends if they know of any single decent guys, political party gatherings, embassy parties, I've worked in construction where there are more men than women (all of them are already married or in a relationship before they even start work at my company), Korean saunas, singing lessons, happy hours, singles trip to Ireland (was 22 women and 3 guys, the youngest, best looking was gay, 1 was a very creepy misogynistic old guy, and the other was an old scientist from NIH), speed dating, OLD, professional hockey games, my college alumni meetings, etc. It's like the men all died, because most times there are hardly any men at these functions, and the ones who are are weird, gay, or already married. The current crop of males is abysmal.
I would like to strategize to find a man with empathy, compassion, respect, consideration, trustworthiness, loyalty, courage, responsibility, reliability, decisiveness, good communication, ability to fight fairly when conflict arises, or apologize honestly and resolve or improve a bad situation fast, make amends... But he doesn't exist in any career, age group or personality type in Ireland lol yes I've high expectations but these are basic traits and no I will not bend, hence I'm single for last few years and sure I will remain so for the rest of my life, happily.
Everywhere. It's easy to meet guys. Chances are though, they're trash. I meet men in restaurants, waiting in line, grocery shopping, sitting next to me—everywhere. However, it's just kismet if they're decent.
maybe in an affluent neighborhood, parks, the beach, work or networking events, nice restaraunts, concerts Etc. or better yet don’t even think of men. If one happens to come along you way who meets all your standards then great and if not, also great! you get to keep your peace, freedom and autonomy
I have tried a lot of things and haven't had much success yet, sadly. Most men don't do much of anything anymore it feels like. Stay home and play video games, watch Netflix. It's like they don't go out and do stuff.
