Yes, but what kind of person is a woman going to meet in a smoky, loud bar? If a man frequents the bar scene, he is not one I would care to date or devote time and energy to...
Y'all know I'm no angel, but I've never been comfortable with the bar scene, even as a younger woman, and for a woman or group of gals to go into a bar with hopes of meeting men seems sad, degrading and meat-markety to me!!!

As my girlfriend would say, "What wrong with meeting men in a bar? I met all my X husbands there. ![[Eek!]](images/icons/shocked.gif) I am sure there are some good singles in every bar but wouldn't recommend it either if looking for a significant other. MOH and I met in a bar but it's a totally different story than we're talking here. Too long to post. chick

I try to join different clubs and organizations that I'm interested in. That way, if I need someone, he and I are likely to have something in common. And if I don't need anyone, at least I'm still in the right place because I'm doing something that I wanted to do.
Bars are also a total turnoff to me. I understand that some people meet people at the gym, but I never have, nor have I had one of those romantic encounters in the grocery store. Uh-oh, I take that back! I was in love with the meat manager at my grocery store, but fortunately that love sickness passed rather quickly like a bad case of the flu :-)

I have always been way too shy to go to a bar unescorted. But I think that people in bars are probably just like everyone else, flawed, but perfect in God's eyes. Everyone in the world seems to be looking for love and wherever you can find it, I say go for it. Just be sure it is love. And maybe the only love you can be sure of is what you give away. And if you give it away, you'll just get more. This subject may be too deep for me. ![[Smile]](images/icons/smile.gif) smile

I finally joined a Church and try to attend functions. Currently, I'm attending a Divorce Care Bible study and enjoy their company! Although divorced for 2.5 years, I thought meeting others of like w/ similar pasts and recovering would allow room for friendships.
Yet, often find myself on outings by myself, whether it be hiking, shopping, Museums, movies, etc.

MustangGal, I think participating in life no matter what it is, is the best way to meet people. I've met men who I dated at the park, walking my dog, roller-blading, yes, in a bar, at church functions, through friends, at a party,etc. I've discovered the quality of people is the same no matter where I meet them. There are good people in bars just as there are bad people in churches.
Being single can get lonely. I have been sick for the past week and have been alone the entire time! I've been concerned about spreading it, so have not done anything with friends. I will get out tonight to meet a friend for dinner.
