My experience is very different. At least in Denver thousands of men and women move here every month, so coed sports adult sports leagues are filled with single women looking to make friends and meet partners.
Similarly, many comments have talked about bars not being a good place to meet single women. From my experience this also isn’t true. You don’t walk up to a girl alone at the bar like in the movies though - you’re friend group mingles with another friend group, and one person in that friend group is probably single. The process is way slower than immediately going and talking to the person you want to meet.
But, this is HN so our social skills level is probably one standard deviation lower than anywhere else.
- goethes_kind 4y agoI guess experiences are very location dependent. This career path also makes things harder. Have you noticed how many cities who are known for being IT hubs end up with a huge young male surplus? That also makes things harder in real life. I don't know how it is in Denver.
- soared 4y agoYeah that’s true. Denver is notorious for being male heavy, it’s new nickname is “manver”!
- vlod 4y agoDamn it. First rule in living in Denver (or Colorado), is not saying how great it is. Traffic is bad enough with the incoming flow. /s :)
- bradlys 4y agoRight but you’ve basically admitted to it though without saying that the whole situation is kinda fucked. Coed sport leagues are your one example. You’ve got going out to bars but you need an entire group of friends who want to approach women together. This strikes me as an experience that is mostly niche to your life and that’s about it. Genuinely - with your experience and the way you advertise it as being incredibly slow - it sounds like you’ve met maybe a half dozen women this way and got lucky with a couple and ascribe this to a winning strategy. I’m just saying - it’s not sounding great for meeting lots of women. It sounds like a good way to meet a dozen women and either get lucky or have incredibly low standards that allows you to pair up with 1 out of 12 women.
