Where can I meet men offline?

I see women posting online a lot asking, “I'm tired of dating apps! Where is a good place to meet men?” 

I am wondering if what they actually mean is, “Where is a good place for men to meet me?”

Men are all around us. They are on dating apps, at grocery stores, sporting events, dog parks, etc. But I think what a lot of women are wondering is where can I meet a man who will actually come up to me, rather than having to take the initiative to say hi and break the ice themselves. 

Here's my advice:
🫶 First you need to get clear on the kind of men you are hoping to meet.

🫶 To do that, start by figuring out not just your interests, but also your values

🫶 Commit yourself to wanting to meet quality men who align with your values, not just ‘men’.

🫶 Then start brainstorming where you can find them!

That's Step One. 

Step Two is working on your mindset that you can find quality men anywhere, and not being afraid to take the first step to make a connection in honor of advancing your goal of finding a partner.

Finding men is not hard to do. 

Being willing to put yourself out there to find a good one might take a little practice and willingness to be uncomfortable. 

Want to meet a good man? Here are some ideas:
💖 Tell your friends, family and co-workers you are single and looking. Let the people who know and love you be your best referral source!
💖 Look for singles meet-up groups in your area and introduce yourself to as many people as possible (not just men, the women you meet might have a brother or friend who is a good fit for you).

💖 Go to events you enjoy, not events you simply think men will be at. Make genuine connections with people. You never know who they will know and you'll be filling your relationship bucket in the meantime. 

💖 Consider using a matchmaker in your area and be very specific in the kind of person you are looking for. 

💖 Don't discount online dating apps. Try out different ones. Pay for a subscription for a month. Dating apps have all kinds of men. You just need to get good at calling in the good ones and weeding out the bad ones. 

What do you think of these ideas? I'd love to hear from you!
