Best way to find a man..

[DavidWirral]

I read a lot about the sad state of affairs for women on OLD.. but i have come to give the ultimate tip.

Sit at the bar on your own in a pub.. i guarantee men will come and talk to you.

😂

You feeling a bit lonely OP?

Wondering where all the decent women are?

(clue, they’re not sat, alone, at a bar)

🤣 They do!

Some of them are alright too. I'm very good friends with a couple who I met because he spoke to me when I was alone at the bar.

I have a new love for walking through the forest since I became single in april. I often hope that a lovely 6ft man with a good hair of hair will be strolling through with his dogs and will wanna swap numbers. I'm guessing that won't ever happen though.

Little bit worried how ill meet someone now. I just can't be arsed with online chit chat. I like a real life connection first.

Head of hair that should say

The kind of men who talk to you when you're alone in a pub generally look like they've just crawled out of a swamp.

And tell you to smile 😂

Smile Luv! It may never happen

Join clubs.

Smile love!

When I was young, not a beauty but head turningly pretty - and lonely - I would stroll through streets and parks of London with my dog and hope someone nice might connect. Never happened. Sitting occasionally in a bar alone all manner of swamp creatures would approach - one once actually said to me "would you like a piece of my cock". I told the landlord and he was chucked out. I did eventually meet my lovely DH through work - this was thirty odd years ago and it was hard to meet a decent man even then. I don't think many women are going to find them if they are sitting alone in a bar.

Best way to find someone is usually when you're not looking, like so many things in life 😁

Then three come along at once.

Currently sitting on my own at a bar in Reno, Nevada (any takers??) - albeit not quite Las Vegas but the trash is here all the same. Must have resting bitch face as nobody has so much as glanced at me, and I’m pretty fucking hot.

I met my now dh in a bar. I was with my adult dd not alone though!

Yes, so many wonderful holidays to interesting locations have happened by just not looking, exciting new jobs and promotions acquired by not looking, new house in a dream location, even getting a distinction for my my master's degree, all achieved by just stumbling around not looking.

🙄

Most couples meet while they're at school or college/university together, through work or through online dating in my experience. Occasionally but rarely through an introduction from a mutual friend.

Once you're a divorced woman juggling dc and work online dating is usually the only option. I'd never have met anyone through work even pre Covid. Bumping into someone in the supermarket or dog walking is mainly for Hallmark Christmas movies.

Women think all men are murderers and all men are scared of being reported for harassment.

10 years ago I met my girlfriend at an ice-cream stall on the pier .. I said hi and the rest is history.

If never do that now, seems wrong and creepy

LaPertuta Unclench your bitter arse. It was clearly a joke. Keyboard warriors like you are the worst of Mumsnet. Eres gilipollas tía.

I stumbled on my dream job through chatting to a couple of women I happened to be sitting near in a cafe. Not talking about work, just idle chat.

I stumbled on my dream home when i was visiting this area for another reason and glanced at estate estate agents to fill in a few spare minutes.

I’ve stumbled on some fantastic holidays just by going with someone else or choosing something on the spur of the moment.

Oh and very relevant to this thread, I didn’t stumble on but was pushed at my now DH by mutual friends, when I’d just left a bad relationship and sworn off men for the foreseeable!

ofcourseshecan People can do it both ways, through perseverance or indifference. That poster knows that, but she just wanted to come and be grumpy here and try to make a fight out of nothing. Sad woman.

Find a small music festival and camp there for at least 2 nights.

Any recommendations? I could get behind this as a technique.

Picked up my likely STBXH in a bar. Not sure I want to repeat the experiment based on recent events. 🤔

I've 'not been looking' for almost 20 years...I'm still single 😥🤣😥
