Mountain West Meet Thread

Try a Grocery store. It forces you to be creative with your approach. + they don't expect it and their guard is down.

I got a girl's number at a car wash onetime when by acting interested in her new Jetta, telling her I was looking to buy one and asking her if I could call her sometime and go for a ride to check it out.

I'm going to have to agree with Ted again on this one...

 

You might be able to find a 'decent' girl at the gym, just like you have a chance of finding a 'decent' girl at the bar. But the majority of girls you will pick up at the gym will be the same type as the ones at the bars.

That's why I pick up my ladies at the High School .

^^^I disagree. Personally, I found that I liked dating a chic that worked-out, not one that went to the gym to pick up guys.

 

Any girl that you "meet" at the gym has her priorities wrong IMHO

Good point. Nonetheless, you can't discount the eye candy factor.

I have to disagree w/ all y'all. Just b/c a girl is working out at a gym (or going to a bar), doesn't mean she's there to meet guys. Maybe she just wants to be healthy and have a good body. I certainly don't go to the gym to meet girls (although the occasional eye candy doesn't hurt (my club's known as Sally's instead of Bally's and doesn't have the quantity that 24 hour does)). Now in a bar you have a better chance that she's there to meet a guy, but so what? Through conversation you can tell if she's just looking to get laid or if she's quality. Now I'll agree that perhaps the grocery store or bookstore would have more quality girls, but it doesn't hurt to practice at the bar or the gym.

Couple other good locations- park, porn store (sike!),hiking trail, ski lift, and to take a thought from "Boys in Da Hood," the "best" place to meet a girl is at church!

We weren't saying that all girls you meet at the gym are just there to meet guys. You can tell which girls are at the gym just to meet guys (at my old gym there were two girls that were there every day. The whole time they were there they would hang out around a piece of equipment and maybe do one rep. They were not there to work out). These are the type of girls Ted and I are talking about. The girls that are at the gym to work out are there to work out and don't want to be bothered by some guy trying to pick them up. So, more than likely you aren't going to meet a girl at the gym that is there to work out.

Sure you can always meet a girl at the bar or at the gym, but the kind of girls tommy is talking about (at least what I think he's talking about) are far and few between at those places. If you're just looking for a hookup or someone for casual dating that you know you'll break up, the bar/gym is a great place to look. But if you're looking for someone to take home to mom, you will have a better chance at the book store or grocery store.

I know you can find these types of girls at the bar as well. I have a friend who met his current girl at the bars, and another friend who's engaged to the girl that was the bartender at the bar he went to at school. I also have a friend that used to go to the bars to find a girl, but once he gave that up and looked elsewhere he found a great girl.

Again, while this is common belief, I TOTALLY disagree. I would guess that most of the girls at a gym that are single would be quite open to meeting a guy (if he's quality and opens it right) during a workout. Sure many will have boyfriends (does this mean you can't still talk to them and make a new "gym friend?"), and a couple will be ultra-workout-don't-talk-to-me-focused (though in the several years I've been at a gym, I haven't gotten this vibe from one female; at the same time, I never really try my game at the gym as I'm usually pretty focused), there are still quality females there to workout that are single n ready to mingle. The problem is that everyone puts up these boundaries and doesn't give certain environments w/ women a chance. Personally, I've started a few high quality relationships after meeting a girl at a bar. I reason, "Hey, I'm at a bar and I'm 'normal.' My friends are at the bars and they are 'normal.' There are probably a lot of 'normal' people here at this bar along w/ a handful of 'losers.'" The particular bar plays a part in all of this, of course. But I have to vehemently disagree that good, quality people are "far and few between at those places."

Why not leave one's options open, and look for people in all places one enjoys?

Or, a better saying I've heard that applies so well in life. Short and Simple.

"Look when you're out, but don't go out looking."

I agree with Scotty - I've picked up waitresses serving me (the ultimate no-no according to friends), bartenders, chicks at bars, etc. Approach them properly, and it's a non-issue.

But I have to vehemently disagree that good, quality people are "far and few between at those places."

 

I didn't mean to come accross saying that there aren't any good, quality and 'normal' people at bars, I go to the bars as well. I was saying that the type of girl Tommy is looking for is hard to find at the bars as he too said. But the the majority of the girls at bars are not looking for a long-term relationship. Sometimes, a hookup can turn into a long-term deal but from my experience that does not happen very often.

And I agree that you can't limit yourself if you're looking. You never know if the girl you meet at the bar could turn into a long-term relationship. Cause, like I've said, I've seen it happen.

Fair enough DJ.

I'll end my conversation after this post and let us get on to talking meets. But after you've seen many of your friends meet girlfriends/wives at bars, I don't see how you can believe that these people are HARD to find at bars.

Scotty, I'm just proud of you for using the word 'vehemently', well done!

Now, are we talking Friday 2 days from now for the cigar meet, or Friday the 16th?

Thanks, Brett. I was a lil proud too:). It's a fun word, methinks.

We're planning a cigar/lunch meet NEXT Friday. Tommy and I are def in, maybe others.?

Colorado's pretty big. You could live here too!

1pm is fine by me. Any others in? Icy? Han?

Bskey, don't let me forget to buy your cigar!

Cool, I wont have too much time but I can get off from 1 to 2 at least.

TMI

^^Haha.

Maybe you should bring a sandwich to work and just meet us for the smoke. As you know, it usually takes at least an hour for a good cigar. Last time we nearly took two hours for both lunch and smoke.
