10 Surprisingly Great Places Men Over 35 Go To Meet Women Today
For men, meeting women in their 20s and early 30s is easy. Often, it’s as simple as being present in a bar or restaurant. However, it gets harder and harder as time passes—especially by your mid-30s! Recently, men and women met in an online discussion to reveal all the best places men over 35 can meet women.
1. Target
Your local neighborhood big box store may be the best way to meet women. According to many men, it’s all about playing the numbers game. One man slyly puts it all in perspective. “The women-to-men ratio at Target is ten to one, and they are already there looking for stuff they don’t need,” he says.
2. Adult Sports Leagues
Athletic people prefer to stay active well into their 30s and 40s, and adult sports leagues are found in most cities in the United States. Whether it’s kickball, softball, volleyball, or other team sports, there’s plenty of time to compete—and socialize—with women when you join a co-ed team!
3. Anywhere People Volunteer
When you reach a certain age, it may seem impossible to meet someone romantically. However, it helps if you seek out places to volunteer. From soup kitchens to retirement homes, many big-hearted (yet single) women frequently volunteer their time and energy at reputable sites like these.
4. Meetup.com
Countless men swear by Meetup.com, noting that it’s one of the best methods to meet women and make a few genuine friends in the process. One forum member stated, “Meetup.com is a great way to meet new people doing shared activities, and, best of all, you can see who RSVP’d, so you know it’s worth a shot. Also, it’s a good way to ‘bump’ into someone you met at an earlier meetup again. Worst case scenario: you make new friends and find a new hobby.”
5. Dating Apps
If you have historically had bad luck on dating apps in your 20s and early 30s, it’s statistically not going to get better when you’re over 35. However, all it takes is one swipe, match, or connection to make it all worthwhile. As someone who went on dozens of first dates in my prime dating years, meeting “the one” after the exhaustive search for love made it all worth it. If you’ve given up on dating apps already, you owe it to yourself to revisit them!
6. The Gym
Unsurprisingly, both men and women agree that the gym is a great place to meet, but your approach must be typical, friendly, and normal. According to women, there’s a thin line between a genuinely kind man talking to you between sets and a total creep who has no idea that he’s making the female uncomfortable.
7. Hobby-Centric Groups
Whether taking a pottery class or joining a bike-riding group, sometimes the best way to meet women is through an intermediary! One man breaks it down perfectly. “Go do stuff you are interested in and meet women that way,” he advises. “Boom: built-in common interests and stuff to discuss from the first interaction. Even if they are married, they will be more than happy to suggest which of their single friends you should meet (women love doing this for some reason).”
8. Grocery Stores
Many men report success at meeting women while doing their weekly grocery shopping. Whether you’re single or in a relationship, everybody needs to buy groceries, meaning it’s just a matter of time before a romantic connection can occur in the frozen food aisle.
9. The Red Cross
Joining the Red Cross is dually beneficial; not only will you make a difference in the world, but there’s also a chance to meet the woman of your dreams! “When I was in the Red Cross, a running joke was that it was a matchmaking service roleplaying as a charitable organization,” reports one man. “Lots and lots of people found partners through it. I don’t remember the full age distribution; it has many different bits. The one I was in trended younger than 35, but I suspect other bits trend older.”
10. Craft Beer Breweries
Bars and breweries specializing in craft beer tend to cater to a specific demographic: older, affluent men and women who appreciate beer on a deeper level. Not only are busy nights at these establishments a perfect way to meet a woman over 35, but often, the employees themselves are in that age bracket, giving men even more options to find love!
