Where to meet good women!

So this is my first thread on this forum, guess I'm looking for advice from women which is why I'm here. Could say I'm a long time reader first time poster, there are a lot of helpful and very friendly people here which is great!

I'm a 29 year old male with a decent job, my own place (a friend lives with me), good but demanding and busy job, my own fairly successful company too (more work..), but terrible luck with women.

It's not that I have trouble picking up girls, I've had my fair share of luck in that respect. It's finding good ones. My last girlfriend cheated on me with her ex about a year ago, we have been dating 14 months. That really knocked my confidence and I didn't go on a date for at least 6 months and not had anything remotely meaningful since.

Now in the movies, its easy. You go to a bookshop or an art gallery and start talking to a gorgeous brunette in a red dress who you take for coffee and live happily ever after. In real life, things aren't so simple. I've tried one or two dating websites but it isn't really for me.

Where do I go to find decent single women? Women who can hold a conversation with at least a little intelligence? I'm kinda picky and have high standards, but I make no apologies for that!

I hope your a Brad Pitt lookalike with those high standards of yours....

LionHearty · 11/01/2016 19:45

Women who can hold a conversation with at least a little intelligence may also online date, go to bars, coffee shops, running, choirs, debate, volunteer, are not different species.

Maybe you need to dig a bit deeper. Get to know someone, be a friendly, interested/interesting person.

Sounded a bit like you are looking for an instant girlfriend a gorgeous brunette in a red dress...

Could you try poking them with a medium sized meat stick? It worked very well for another recent poster.

pocketsaviour · 11/01/2016 19:52

PM me OP, you sound AMAZEBALLS

LilacSpunkMonkey · 11/01/2016 19:54

Me first, bitch!

RedRainRocks · 11/01/2016 19:55

I found her, OP!!

Lacoba66 · 11/01/2016 19:56

[pocket] beware, where you 'wave them tits' you may be portrayed as being 'having no intelligence' Wink

KacieB · 11/01/2016 19:58

Bring it on pocket and lilac! I clearly have dibs. OP, I have a red dress and everything!

Minime85 · 11/01/2016 19:59

A fake comment? I'm intelligent with a degree and post graduate qualification, own my own home and pay my own bills. I guess my partner didn't do very well finding me on pof then. I best tell him (poor grammar on purpose)

NickiFury · 11/01/2016 19:59

Maybe you could make one? You know like in that eighties movie "Weird Science"?

LilacSpunkMonkey · 11/01/2016 20:02

LionHearty · 11/01/2016 20:04

You lot scared him with you titty waggling and intelligence, blew his narrow concepts to smithereens.

And you're all aren't brunette are you?

LionHearty · 11/01/2016 20:05

And when I say brunette, I mean collar and cuffs...

Cause I is classy ain't I?

KacieB · 11/01/2016 20:06

Aw, say it ain't so Lacob. Here I am re-reading my dictionary in anticipation and everything!

Lweji · 11/01/2016 20:08

So, you have such high standards that you're batting completely out of your league then?

665TheNeighbourOfTheBeast · 11/01/2016 20:10

pocketsaviour · 11/01/2016 20:11

How dare you Lion, the brunette carpets do match the drapes. They just have a bit of grey in them Grin

pocketsaviour · 11/01/2016 20:12

Oh god, I hadn't even noticed his username. That puts the tin lid on it.

LionHearty · 11/01/2016 20:14
