So I seem to have been copping flack lately for the fact that I have met a fair number of my GFs at clubs. The thing is most of those girls have been at least half crazy, so I'm wondering where to go to meet a girl/woman who is if not sane, at least logical in a way that i can understand.
So where do the rest of you go to meet people of the opposite sex? Which places have produced the best results?
Most of my girlfriends have been met through friends...i don't go out to meet people, i'm too shy...

umm i am socially inept... i have friends who are boys, but not the other way round in person... so usually online... though through work or uni is one way, its usually more dangerous...

Uni makes it easy to meet people, but also through friends of friends.

Getting involved in amateur short films is a great way to meet other people. However, many people you meet this way are fantasticly wierd, obsessive and troubled. (says the man typing to people he's never met on the internet, using his penis as a typing stick)
friends of friends is a great way too.

I met my first wife at Uni... she was a manipulative bitch.
My current wife I met at the pub one night, she is the most perfect humn being I have ever encountered.
My advice, get thee to the pub (If nothing else, they have beer there)

Girls, that are sane or close to it??
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA HAHAHAHAHAHA HAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA AAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA
Hehe sorry...
Seriously though, I'm too shy to simply go up to someone and start talking to them... so I meet people off the net after having talked to them for some time... sure, it can be a gamble, but it's the nerd's way :)
I cop alot of flak for meeting people that way... mainly from people who are single and miserable.... :p

I'm crazy enough to walk up and introduce myself, I just don't really know where to go to meet someone who's really worth meeting.

If your profile is acurate "Kendo. Fencing. Swimming. Kung Fu" These activities should give you plenty of oportunity to meet people. If you are that active, join some sort of sports club, or afternoon sports comp. There are plenty of mixed gender sports to play in most areas, unless you are from tasmania, then all you can really do is chase your sister around the block a few times.

I don't really meet many people swimming as i tend to swim laps pretty non-stop and intensively.
kendo, kung fu and fencing are all sports that i've enjoyed, but my current job is keeping me too busy to do more than swim in the morning. Through all of these sports i don't think i've met many females. Anyone know of a good mixed soccer group? that'd be cool

Community billboards usually have details for sports like soccer and touch footy. Even the community newspapers have locations/results/news about the latest rounds. Is there a Gym in your area? They would know or have people that would know, ie, fit active people.

Seriously tho, conferences are good; that way you can burl up to people you don't know and chat without being branded some sort of weirdo. I know you said you don't have a problem with approaching people but yeh. I like chatting up the bikini girls on the beach. About 50% of the girls love it, the remainder think I'm a pervert. This figure varies immensely with the beach. Why don't we do that sometime? I need a wingman newayz.

Where I used to work, there were informal "Who can get her first" competitions, as females were a rarity. Not only did I win hands down most times, I usually won by luring them into my web of deciept, rather than chasing after them, chloroform in one hand, club in the other.

Uh-oh, I think I am about to be the voice of reason....
Winners for meeting chicks -
- unisex sporting teams
- Ladies' Day at the races (dude, seriously, it is a WINNNNNN-NAR!)
- dog-walking in a city park near your house. I recommend Centennial Park in Sydney....
- CBD bars on Friday nights
- photography/massage courses - you can volunteer to be each others subject....
Hope it helps. Good luck and remember -

One step better is personal development seminars,with some of them you get to know people well quite quickly. I met my wife at one :p :tits: :p
Another good way but is hard work and dangerous...Work in the city as a push bike courier and wear lycra shorts.

i've met mine at pubs, clubs, christmas parties, hostels, work, pubs, pubs and pubs. I find it's easy if you're sitting at a table next to some people to get talking to them, just general chit chat. Then you go for the grope

- Ladies' Day at the races (dude, seriously, it is a WINNNNNN-NAR!)I thought they called it that because all the races involved female horses. :confused: F00ls!!!

/me notes down all these suggestions
...I think I need to start being a bit more pro-active in my (thus far unproductive) search for a lady friend... all my friends are getting married, and I still have as much experience with the opposite sex as I did in High-school. Which is much the same as the level of experience I had in Primary-school... only now I think my hairline is a little further back.
Having said that, I recognised the promise of the uni/college environment... alas that I didn't have the cajones to take advantage of the situation for the short time I was there... fuckit.

I'm banking on meeting women through my forthcoming stand-up comedy career. I've taken too long to realise pharmacologists don't get screaming female fans.
