A common question I get asked is "Tony, I want to start working on this stuff but I do not know where the heck to start meeting women." I totally understand. There is not exactly a Google Maps showing where all the hot women in your city congregate. One thing you have to understand is you can meet women anywhere. If you walk down the street or go to the grocery store, there are always opportunities presenting themselves. However, I've compiled a massive list of places to meet women. After going through this list, you will have ZERO excuses not to go out and start meeting women.
Before I get into the list, here are a few caveats:
Do not Be a Creep – Meeting women should be a secondary benefit of going to the places listed on this list. Go to these places for the sake of trying something new, not to hunt for women. For example, go to an art walk with a couple of your friends because it's cool new thing to do. Do not be the creepy guy that's going only to hit on women. That's weirdo behavior.
Bring a Group of Friends – Always try and gather a group of people to go with. When you meet women, it's like she's joining the fun party that's already going on. However do not let this stop you if you can not find anyone to go with. Nothing is wrong with going to the places alone.
Type of Location = Type of Woman – Where you find a woman will directly correlate to the type of women she is. For example, women at hardcore punk rock dive bars will probably be much different from women you'll meet at a local church. Therefore, have an idea of the type of women you want to date, then go the places they normally frequent. If you do not know, the be open to trying out everything on the list.
No Order of Importance – There is not a particular order of importance of places on this list. Some will pop out more than other to you, but be open to try everything out. There is no one place that is better to meet women than others. You can meet and attract women ANYWHERE if you're a cool guy.
You Can Meet Women Anywhere – Guys think they have to constantly go to bars or clubs to meet women. In actuality, you do not have to deviate too far from your existing routine. If you walk down the street or go to the grocery there are always opportunities to meet new women.
1. Social Media Sites (Facebook) – I know many guys who've seen ENORMOUS success meeting women through social media sites like Facebook. There's definitely an art and a science going this route so do your research on how to go about messaging girls without coming off as a creep. However when you have it down, sky's the limit to the amount of women you can meet.
2. Coffee Shops – Women are ALWAYS at places like Starbucks or Caribou Coffee either grabbing a quick drink, with another cutie friend of their or just getting some work done. These are very low-key place to strike up conversation.
3. Local Colleges – If you live by a college, this can be a GOLD mine for young, single and hot women. My recommendation is to go during summer school. There are not too many people on campus so girls are ALWAYS looking for new people to hang out with.
4. Book Stores – If a girl is browsing through a book section you know a little bit about, it's very easy to walk up and start talking about the subject. Tip: Weekend afternoons and weekday evenings is when you'll find the most women at book stores. Book stores are often times empty otherwise.
5. The Gym – Women who regularly go the gym are definitely the type you want to be hanging around. They take care of their bodies, are self-motivated and often times are extroverted … All GREAT qualities in a girlfriend.
6. Museums & Galleries – I'm not going to lie, museums & galleries will not be the most target rich places during the weekdays. However, on the weekends these places can be PACKED with women to strike up a conversation about whatever gallery you happen to be in.
7. Laundry Mats – Women are bored out of their minds at laundry mats and because of this, are more willing to talk when a guy such as yourself approaches. This is a golden opportunity because you'll often have up to 2 hours of time to hang out while you both wait for your clothes to be ready.
8. Local Swimming Pools – Women in bikinis … Hmm, need I say more?!?
9. Beaches – Again, a no-brainer.
10. Pet Shops – Many women who have dogs and cats will go to pet shops regularly to get supplies or food. This is the perfect opportunity to ask a situational opener like "Hey, have you tried this type of dog food? I'm taking care of my buddy's dog and I do not know what I'm doing. to help me … "
11. Hardware Stores – Although you may think hardware stores are testosterone driven, many women will frequent these stores for garden supplies and random knick-knacks for the home.
12. Ikea – Not only is this a great place to meet new women, this is one of my favorite places to bring girls out on dates. You can goof around and pretend you are newlyweds shopping for furniture. When meeting women, just go up to them and ask "Hey, I'm looking to get new furniture for my room and I need a woman's opinion. Can you help me out?"
13. Restaurants – Restaurants are a FILLED with women to meet. Here's the caveat: Do not approach women when they're eating. It's just rude interrupting someone while their enjoying their meal so approach before she gets her meal or after she's done eating. Usually there's a bar in the restaurant you can transition things to.
14. Churches – I'll be honest with you. Some places (ie Night Clubs) are where you'll tend to find certain type of women to hook up with. Other places (ie Churches) are where you'll find quality women you can settle down for the long-term. Church often times hold social events filled with many quality women to meet.
15. Supermarket – Some guys complain that they never have enough time to meet women. If you go grocery shopping then you have no excuses. I guarantee you'll find a handful of women to approach at your local grocery store (especially if you live in a big city). Tip: Weekday nights and weekends are the best time to go. Anytime else you'll find moms or old people.
16. Social Circle – This is the ultra traditional route the majority of guys rely on. Meeting women through a mutual friend is the number one way guys find their girlfriend. You just can not beat this because a woman thinks so positively of you after a solid introduction from a friend.
17. On The Street – If you live in a city, there are a plethora of women rushing through the streets during the daytime. I lived in Chicago and in the summer, I've always find more and hotter women walking down the street than I'd see in most night clubs.
18. Fitness Classes – If you're currently working out alone, start going to fitness classes asap. It's like killing two birds with one stone. You're going to work out anyway, so might as well do it alongside a group of women at a spinning or kickboxing class.
19. Dance Classes – If you've rarely been physical with a woman, I'd suggest going to dance classes. With styles such as Tango, you're forced to be up close and personal with your dance partner. It will also teach you first hand how to lead lead women, albeit on the dance floor. My personal favorite is Salsa. There's usually a lack of guys at Salsa classes, so you'll have your way with all the women taking turns to dance with you.
20. Tanning Salons – If you're pale, you need to start tanning. I'm not saying you need to look like the newest member of Jersey Shore, but giving your skin a little color makes you look livelier. Oh and by the way, there are an INORDINATE amount of women at these places.
21. Hair Salons – Like tanning salons, the woman to man ratio in hair salons is staggering. If you have the money, getting your hair styled is definitely worth it. Actual professionals work at these places who can style your hair better than you've ever imagined.
22. Makeup Stores – You might think going to a makeup store is the equivalent of getting your balls sawed off, but most makeup stores holds things for men such as cologne. This is the golden opportunity to ask women them their opinion of different colognes.
23. Malls (clothing stores) – Malls are another place filled with cuties. Again, another perfect opportunity to approach women for their opinion on a particular clothing style your thinking about going with. There are lots of teenagers scattered inalls so make sure the women you are talking to are actually … well … of age!
24. In The Building of Your Work – I know lots of guys who've met a lot of women just by walking up and down the different floors of their office building. If you happen to work in a big building, chances are there are many women just as bored as you are dying to meet new people. Tip: Go on your lunch break. This is often when you'll see the most traffic inside the building.
25. Parties – Parties are my absolute favorite on this list. It's THE perfect atmosphere to meet new women. You're having fun with your friends, she's having fun with her friends and the atmosphere pumps her state up with all the music and drinks. Everyone is talking everyone so going up to her is almost expected.
26. Yoga Classes – Go to a Yoga class even if you're not looking to meet women. There are so many benefits. You'll improve your strength, flexibility, posture, breathing and generally become a more centered person. Like dance classes, yoga has a disproportionate amount of women to men. Plus, yoga classes teach women to contort themselves in all sorts of different err … Yoga positions. 🙂
27. Book Signings / Discussion Groups – Women tend to gravitate towards certain authors. For example, Chelsea Handler has an ENORMOUS female friendship of ages around 18 – 35. If you manage to find a book signing or a discussion group of readers for these type of authors, you'll feel like a kid on Christmas morning.
28. Modeling Events – Modeling agencies often have social mixers for those in the industry. Find out where they are and find a way to get in. I've personally been to a few myself and of all my years, I've never seen so many hot women in one room so damn open to meet new people.
29. Acting Classes – Acting classes are something you should be going to regardless of meeting new women. It will develop your voice, help you think better on you feet (especially Improv classes) and generally improve your self-confidence. There are of course many women that attend these classes.
30. Bars – I HATE when people say women do not want to meet men at bars. Yes it's true, women dream of meeting their "Prince Charming" serendipitously like in all the romantic comedies they've been brain washed by. However, in the real world cool guys are hard to find and women are ALWAYS open to talking to one. It does not matter if it's in a bar, a grocery store or at a freakin 'funeral.
31. Clubs – Lots of pros and cons with clubs. Pros: they hold the highest concentration of hot women in one room. Cons: dark, way too loud, intimidating and most women's "I'm better than you" meter are off the charts. Bottom Line: since there are so many women that will not remember who the hell you are, it's the best place to work on game.
32. Lounges – Lounges have the best aspects of both the bar and club world. They'll have the attractive women clubs tend to hold, while keeping the mellow atmosphere of bars.
33. Strip Clubs – You probably will not find the future mother of your children at a strip club, but it's a GOLDEN opportunity to interact with women who are VERY attractive and probably have tighter game than you. Being able to transition the strippers focus off your wallet will teach you many conversational skills you could not develop otherwise.
34. Online Dating Services – I've heard reviews from sites like Match.com and eHarmony.com. My take is guys who do not see results with these sites tend to dabble. They'll try it out for a few months, will not put much effort it, then cancel their account soon after. Like anything, you've got to put the work in and stick it out in order to see results.
35. Singles Mixer Events – If you live in a larger city, they'll usually hold mixers for singles. When I lived in Chicago, the Museum of Modern Art held an event where thousands of twenty and thirty somethings came each month to meet new people.
36. Yelp.com or Metromix.com Events – These sites are the absolute best resource you have at your disposal to find places to meet women. From restaurants, to bars, to various events, these sites are on top everything and anything social in your city. Tip: One day out of the month, set away time and browse through these sites. Calendar in a cool new thing to do each day of the coming month.
37. Dog Parks – Dog parks are littered with women and their dogs. Striking up a conversation is too easy if both your dogs are playing with each other. Also, you can tell a lot about a woman by the type of dog she own. Believe me, a woman who owns a Poodle and a woman who owns a German Shepard are two completely different people.
38. Speed Dating – Speed dating can be a powerful way to not only meet women, but to improve your conversation repertoire. In less than 2 hours, you could potentially have chatted with 15 different women. It's like going to the basketball gym to work on your jump shot. If you mess up or meet a girl you're uninterested in, there's always a new girl around the corner.
39. Amusement Parks or Local Fairs – These are a preferred destination for couples, but there are still many single women hanging out at amusement parks or local fairs. What's great about these places is the opportunity for an insta-date. Approach, converse, then once she's attracted transition things by going on one of the rides with her.
40. Co-Ed Sporting Leagues – These are fun not only to meet women, but to just have a freakin 'good time with friends. The type of women that gravitate towards activities like co-ed softball or volleyball leagues tend to be athletic, low-maintenance, and overall fun women who are into sports … pretty much all the qualities guys look for in girlfriends. 🙂
41. Weddings – I do not know what it is about weddings, but they always seem to hold single women. When you factor in the open bar, the music and the fact that another one of the woman's friends got married leaving her feeling VERY single, it's like hook-up city.
42. Cooking Classes – I've heard mixed reviews with cooking classes. A few of my buddies went expecting to find women like those hot chefs you see on The Food Network. They were pretty disappointed when they realized they were the only ones under 50 in the room. 🙁
43. Concerts – Here's a tip: Most women in concerts are so focused on the stage it does not make sense to approach then. In actuality, the best time to meet women is when you're in line to buy food and drinks. Lines are painfully long and women are often times by themselves. These are THE best conditions to strike up a conversation.
44. Sporting Events – Use the same tip I've laid out for concerts. More than likely you're rooting for the same team so starting a conversation about something relevant to the game is a golden opportunity. What's great with sporting events is there's usually tons of bars surrounding the stadium. If things are going well, continue the action by bringing her to one of these bars.
45. Art Classes – Women love art and more than likely there are art classes held somewhere in your city. The guy to girl ratio at the classes are ALWAYS favoring so take advantage of this.
46. Art Walks – Cities will often hold outdoor exhibits where local artists display their work for the public. Many times there's bands playing, local pubs serving drinks and most importantly all sorts of women perusing through the booths. Again, a perfect opportunity for an insta-date.
47. Community Service – You should not be doing community service just to pick up chicks. That's just downright sleazy. However, if there is a organization you want to get involved in, often times a side benefit of this is meeting the kind, warm-hearted, compassionate women who are also involved.
48. Organized Trips – Organized trips are a great way to meet women because right off the bat you both have a solid common interest. These can range from scuba diving, bird watching, bus tours, hiking and mountain climbing. Also, these types of environments are very low-key so you can really get to know the woman you meet.
49. Meetup.com Groups – There are an endless amount of special interest groups where members meet up regularly. Many of these groups are FILLED with women. Go to Meetup.com and search the groups in your city. What's great about this is you can see photos of the groups and find which are filled with women before even going to a meeting.
50. Wine Tasting Events – GREAT place to meet elegant, classy women. Believe me, after going to countless dive bars trying to talk with drunken girls belching the night away, it's reassuring to meet a more sophisticated type at wine tasting events.
