I hear group therapy meetings for women are great places to meet women. If you go to a psych in a rich neighborhood those places are filled with gorgeous and unhappy trophy wives or recent divorcees . They call it "low-hanging fruit".

Last person I dated was someone who photographed me in 2009. Before that, my longer-lasting relationships were with people I met in bars. That gets a bad reputation, but I am still friends with most of those people. If I'd not been a "clubbing girl" in my early 20s, I probably never would have dated anyone at all - because the people I went to college with never wanted anything to do with me. They mostly just made fun of the fact I had a southern accent, and liked shitty bands. *shrug*
I don't meet anyone at all now. Not really. That's fine, I guess.

I thought about this last night. Every woman I've been involved with since HS, all internet. Not dating sites specifically, but internet related. Sure, it's only 2 women, but still.

I had to clean my slate so to speak.
In college I never met anyone at all. Weird but true.
A southern accent? I kinda like that actually.

A southern accent? I kinda like that actually. I didn't really "meet" people at college. I only sort of interacted with people in class. I guess they were more like acquaintances than anything else, but it was almost guaranteed that, on the first day of classes during any given semester, the professors would ask you to introduce yourself and tell why you took the class. I would say a couple sentences, and at least one person would audibly giggle.
I'm from western North Carolina, so I had an Appalachian-sounding "brogue," which is a little bit like a mumbly mix of Welsh-Scottish accents (because it basically is). It's not heavy anymore, but was a lot thicker when I was younger. I went to school in that area, but most of the people in my classes were from other regions, and the real Appalachian sound was leaving the voices of a lot of younger people, so I sounded really goofy to folks who were non-natives.

Oh and people still have 'homework' after their teen years. University? Because I started when I was 17 I'll finish before I'm 21 but many others continue their education much further into their lives and it's something that should be respected not scoffed at.
I never understood those who laughed at others for being young. It's just as stupid and pointless as screaming at a child to just 'grow up'.

I totally thought you were Scottish...

After the dissolution of my last relationship, I am starting to wonder where, exactly, people typically meet other people that they end up dating...
This last one I met in the theatre. Before that was a movie set. Before that, a very long relationship that started in college (met in school too)...
The bar scene does not appeal. Ditto for clubs. Guess I'll eventually meet someone through another gig... But how in the world do people usually do this?
EDIT: I was not necessarily meaning to say that I am fixated on finding someone at this precise moment...or that I'm not...hmm, I don't know whether I am or not. It can happen when it happens- I'm fine with that.
It was more of a general question, since I had been asking myself and realized I didn't know the answer. I met my wife at the mailbox of the apartment building we both lived in.
I met the girlfriend before her at a basketball game.
I met the one before her at church, and the one before that was a cook at a pizza shop I went to.
Basically, I'd just say, be friendly and talk to people.

I met my husband on-line, not a dating site. We had too much in common ( not ordinary stuff, very unique ) and that is what inspired our first date.

there was a girl sitting on a bench, disinterested in the guy she was with, he was talking to her about something nerdy
I walked by and said really loud to the girl "IS THAT A BLACKBERRY STORM!?"
and she beamed with energy and said "Yes, I know I need to upgrade"
"POR QUE! GIRLS LOVE BLACKBERRIES... MY FRIEND AND I WERE JUST ABOUT TO GO TO THE TMOBILE STORE"
with some crafty eye shifting and subtle head nodding to telepathically broadcast to the girl ".. so join us, and leave your boyfriend there, but make up an excuse"
which worked.
so, yes, telepathy
I usually make these things up on the spot based on context (instead of ... canned content) but I have started similar conversations with people using samsung or motorola lines

Position yourself.
I have a neighbor who never met girls because he was assigned here and there as a military missile techo, and had monitors and machines to talk to all day.
Long story shortened, he joined an archery club beside the military firing range and met the beauty of his dreams. I signed their mortage loan papers for a new home six months later, and they got married after that.
Also: Watch>>>> 500 Days Of Summer (highly recommended)

so instead of "ey girl u fiiine" I randomly pinpointed her blackberry storm
we didn't go to a tmobile store after that, my friend and I waited at a different end of the park and then she met us and we went for drinks

I went clubbing last night and something I still don't understand is the pack mentality of guys. There was a bunch of them, probably about six, all wearing pretty much the same thing and all wearing flat brim caps. When I first walked in they did the whole, Ahh! Thing and offered to buy my friend and I drinks, which was sweet but I was driving so no drinking for me.
Then they were obviously all showing interest, but I could not tell which one of them was actually planning on approaching me. It was as if they just wanted to all hit on me at the same time, which would obviously result on me brushing them all off as weirdos. I just don't get that, if I actually had of been interested they would of ruined their own chances by acting as a group.
Then when my friend and I were dancing and they came and joined in (which I didnt mind because they all kept their hands to themselves) one of them said, 'I like your style'. Which I just thought was a pretty hilarious way to introduce themselves. My response was, 'It's nighttime and you're inside with a hat on, I think our ideas of style are opposing forces'.

When I was learning an Elizabethan accent to do Shakespeare as it was intended, we were taught how very close it is to old Appalachian accents, as that area was settled by those who had the 16th century patterned accent and things didn't change much in a few hundred years of isolation.
