How do you meet men? Where's the best place?

I'm 37, divorced with kids. I am sickened at the thought of bars. I'd like to date but the thought playing the field again is scary.

    I am basically your male counterpart...so, I will tell you where you would find us.

    I am sickened by the thought of the bar thing too...so meet people and just do things..let it develop organically!

    What things do you like to do? I mean the things you do that get you around other people. Do them and be open, approachable.

    If nothing comes up, then take a class...go to talks, events that you enjoy...(I met a woman "like you" a 7 years ago taking Aikido.)

    DO THE THINGS YOU LIKE..someone like you will be out there doing them too!

    If you liked literature, we would meet at a reading from Edith Wharton...we might discuss the richness of the simple gestures she writes about...and there you are.

    I have always met people everywhere I have lived.

    I must confess, where I am living right now (a temporary situation in a small town), I have not succeeded in meeting anyone that I would be interested in spending time with.

    However, I have not been out much around here...there is not much other than outdoors stuff that interests me here.

    Whenever I travel I meet the most spectacular people...that drives me mad!

    I will be moving soon...so maybe when I get to a real town!

    Don't be afraid.

    I'm almost exactly the same way - I mean divorced, and sickened by the thought of bars, and playing the field doesn't seem fun like it did when I was younger. When you find out let me know, thanks

    By the way, what city are you from?

    I'm a 42 yr guy in a similar precicament and if you could tell me where I can meet genuine ladies that have the same problem as you (and I) have then neither of us would be this frustrated!!!LOL!! Playing the field these days is like playing a minefield for both sexes and the thought of doing what I did in my 20s' frankly chills me to the bone! We need something safe, away from wierdos and freaks where us normal people can, basically get it on together! If you find out the answer please don't forget to let me know sweetheart!!

    Become a part of something. A church, organization, athletic activity.

    Something that includes interaction with others. Maybe start by going to the gym on a daily basis. You just need to consistantly be in a social environment, and the rest will happen on its own.

    bars, internet, streets, are not good places to meet men, specially there in usa where they kill and rape women and kids all the time, just be patient, better to be alone than to find a pyscho that rape u and cut u in pieces, frankly i really dont know how u people live in that crazy country, only to think about america make my nervous go bad, it looks like God cursed u all dont know, try to move to another country more peacefull, there s still places in europe u can find nice people, good luck

    I meet guys through friends mainly. I don't think bars are the best ways either.

    Church, porn shops, Gas stations, Wal-Mart, Prostate specialists office, Bowling ally, Casino's.

    I think if you go to places you would like a man to take you (like your favorite spots) then you will find a man who likes the same kinda stuff and you already have something to relate to.

    O- yea STAR WARS conventions have alot of single dudes.

    Sincerely "W"

    Through friends or workplace. Bars aint that bad, but u gotta use more than ur eyes to grab a good one. Church goers arent that bad either.

    The place to meet a man is at church.

    bars are a bad idea. best place is to find people at your church or another organization that you belong to that shares your interests
