Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego? More importantly, where can I meet men?

So the last three guys I have gone out with I met online. You're thinking that I should be meeting guys in other ways.  Your right!  I totally agree with you.  But, seriously.  Think about it.  When was the last time you actually met a guy at a bar or party?  It just doesn't happen very often.  I met the last guy I dated before embarking on this adventure in a more traditional way (at a friend’s party) and that didn’t work out any better than if I had met him in another way.  

Think about this, when you do meet a guy in a more traditional way you don’t even know if he is single.  It's not like his stats are printed on the back of his t-shirt.  That would be cool!!!  If on the back of his t-shirt it listed his marital status, career, education, likes, dislikes, and other selling points. I use the phrase “selling points” because that's really what dating is about.  We are trying to sell our self to the man that we are interested in leasing,  possibly looking for the option to buy.  

  

My big question is....Where can we meet men besides online?  Any ideas?

I remember years ago.  I was probably 23 or 24.  A friend and I were at this cute mom and pop coffee shop enjoying the day.  We were sitting on one of the couches and talking about our dating difficulties.  Sitting on the other couch next to us was a sweet older couple.  They were somewhere in their late 50’s and very friendly.    My friend and I were talking about how difficult it is to meet men.  They overheard our conversation and starting talking with us.  The man tried to give my friend and I some helpful ideas.  His solution….golfing.  He suggested that we could meet outdoorsy athletic men by going golfing.  Huhhhhh, maybe.

Really,  plaid shorts and golf balls?  At the time I had never set foot on a golf course and didn’t really want to.  I asked him if we could just hang out at the golf club bar and meet the same outdoorsy athletic men while they were quenching their after game thirst.  I like beer and dislike embarrassing myself with a bad swing.  

 

Ok so we can meet men on a golf course.  Where else?

More recently, my friend’s mother shared some of her wisdom and suggested volunteer work.  She suggested volunteering at a place of interest because you would meet men with the same interests.  Sounds promising!!  I like kids, I don’t necessarily know if I want to have any but I do like kids.  She suggested that I volunteer at a Children’s Hospital.  I know, meeting a sexy doctor sounds nice.

Looks like my next google search will be “Volunteer opportunities at Children’s Hospital”  I have some free time and i have seen some cute male nurses and not just on TV.
