“How can I meet single men?” was the primary question I had while I was single. When I was in my 30s, I realized I had never “dated.” In my twenties, I had a streak of long-term relationships, and it felt easy to just fall into them. When I was in my 30s, I tried the normal internet approach (Tinder, Online Dating, etc.) and found it to be rather unsatisfactory.

So, now that I’m single again, I’d like to try meeting single males in person. Yes, in the “traditional” manner

This article is unique as well. I didn’t want to repeat what other lists have already said about “common spots.” Instead, I recall being unmarried and “often going out.” But how effective was this strategy of simply “getting out”?

That was the question I intended to address.

Here’s my list of the Top 5 Places to Meet Single Men, which is a little too long.

1. Pub / Sports Bar

I put this at number 1 not because it’s impossible to meet single men here, but because I’ve had no luck.

Guys that frequent pubs in Australia are not the most gregarious or welcoming bunch (in my experience), and most just want to unwind while drinking beer and watching football.

Check to see if this is your style of scene and if you go to these places on a weekly/regular basis.

2. Short One/Two Day Classes

There are plenty of little workshops to choose from, whether it’s cooking, life drawing, dancing, or creative writing.

There was a good mix of men and women in one of my creative writing classes.

However, keep an open mind because there will be a mix of youthful university students and middle-aged dabblers. In any case, males who attend these seminars are likely to have a lot of free time on their hands, which indicates they’re probably single!

3. Outdoor Group Workout Sessions

Local gyms and yoga places often organize free group workout sessions on the weekend.

They’re free, and they’re a terrific way to meet new people while simultaneously getting in the greatest shape of your life!

To get anything out of this, you must go on a regular basis, just like everything else! Personally, I didn’t do it on a frequent basis enough to see any significant improvements. The boys, on the other hand, were a nice perv (eye-candy)!

4. Restaurant

I’ve heard of couples meeting in local restaurants, and most of the time it’s because they’re seated at tables next to each other.

This will only work if you go to restaurants that are better suited for group activities and mingling than “small and intimate” eateries.

What’s the secret to making this work? Go with a small group of girls who are exciting, crazy, and upbeat. Sit with a bunch of males who are all nice and having a good time. After a few rounds of drinks, give them a seductive smile and wait for them to come over.

Although I’ve never met a man who behaves in this manner, I’ve heard it works effectively.

5. Live Music Event

I’ve attended Rave / Dance events as well as live performances. If you prefer a different form of music, I’m sure there are live music events dedicated to it.

Depending on the music’s demographic, the crowd may be younger or older than you prefer.

Because most individuals come with companions for the music and dancing, I found it difficult to “meet men” here. They’ll tend to remain in the same group. However, you might strike it rich and fall in love with someone.

I had no luck at any of these events. I didn’t go to these very much because they weren’t really my scene.
