How to Meet Women the Traditional Way

The singles scene has changed a lot over the past few years. The millennium has ushered in a new way of thinking about how we choose or mates. Convenience has become the top priority when it comes to dating; yet that convenience is the last thing we should require when searching for "the one." There are a million "new age" methods for meeting women, from Internet matchmaking sites and online personals to social networks and speed dating; but maybe it's time we stop letting the cyber-cupid do our dirty work for us. We should start courting the old-fashioned way. If "new age" dating doesn't interest you, read on to learn how to meet women the old-fashioned way.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

• Open mind
• Gym clothes
• Athletic shoes
• Sense of adventure
• Plane ticket (optional)
• Patience

1. Join a class at the gym. Though women predominantly dominate the class load at a gym, this doesn't mean that classes were made for them. More than likely, you'll be one of the only men in the class. You'll stand out among the beautiful women surrounding you. Besides, most women will find it endearing when you try to pose a downward dog in yoga class.
2. A cocktail party is a great way to meet a woman, too. Though bars are normally a bad way to meet someone, a cocktail party is a bit more formal making it easier to socialize and communicate on a different level. Friends and close acquaintances usually throw cocktail parties; so it’s a safe bet that this group of people has already weeded out the lame ones.
3. Fly the friendly skies and meet women. Nowadays, air travel is a part of life. It can also be a hassle and a chore. Make this an opportunity to chat with beautiful women while you wait for your flight. She’ll welcome the distraction. If things go well, you might be able to meet up at your final destination or at least play musical chairs once you're on-board in order to sit together.
4. Professional seminars are a great way to network with women who share the same professional and intellectual interests and goals with you. Find a seminar in your community or take advantage of the seminars that your company may offer. Be careful that your conversation isn’t completely professional in nature or you’ll enter the friend zone faster than the click of a power point presentation.
5. Let your mom play matchmaker. Odds are against you when you blind date, but if you let the women in your family take a crack at it--they do know you best, after all--you could increase your chances at finding someone exponentially. Letting your friends and family play matchmaker can afford you a large crop of high quality women because your family has your best interest at heart.

Tips & Warnings
