Where can I meet men 21-30 age group?

I am that age group. Newly divorced

Most of my friends are either older than me or similar ages with different interests. And knees deep in childcare or caring responsibilities

I am really after chemistry and excitement of getting to know someone and then sex

I go to the gym but nobody approaches or feels comfortable to chat there as women (fairly and rightly) have made it clear in recent years that gyms shouldn’t be places women are getting hit on

Really not keen on tbe thought of online dating

No friends interested in bars or clubs etc

Oh and I swim, a lot! But there aren’t any young or unmarried men at my club

You could try something like parkrun or a comedy club- but you will probably have to go with someone and you may well have ti make the opening move nowadays

Cycling, running, climbing? Or just something you're interested in but where there might be more men than women. Or speed dating.

Not sure it's going to bring excitement but there's the under 40s ramblers group, or other outdoor explorer type groups. Also Toast Masters has a good M/F ratio.

www.meetup.com.

Singles holidays for under 30s. Singles nights. Coffee shops with laptops. Rooftop bars. Bars with activities like games. Fun sports like softball, Hyrox, spin classes. Short evening course like languages, painting, or some professional development course. Dance class like salsa or bachata. Open mic nights. Co-working spaces. Through friends of friends.

Don’t rule out the apps. There is A LOT of shit to wade through but I met DH on Hinge and he’s 10x any of the guys I dated through other means before then. I was 36 when I met him though.

Otherwise Parkrun is a good shout, volunteering rather than running to meet people. I met some eligible guys there before I met DH.

Some kind of hobby. Getting involved with local theatre/comedy/improv classes is a good way in as its naturally chatty (which sports etc aren't necessarily).

If you’re outdoorsy, then join 20s/30s walking groups and climbing socials. More men than women and plenty of chance to chat without feeling under any pressure in a dating sense.
