The internet can be an excellent place to meet people if one uses common sense. That's me stuffed then

I'll just throw this out....how about dancing classes??
The classes are always said to have a severe lack of men. That means that men are in high demand there and the class will be mostly female. In one stroke you have eliminated competition and inflated your own desireability. A lot of men will be too macho to even try this.
Could be expensive though...and potentially embarrasing.

Hm, dancing lessons here have a severe lack of women (might have something to do with the fact they're organised by vocational college )

I took dancing lessons when i was high school; turned out to be a waste of my time and money, and all it got me was a bunch of embarrassment. I don't know if dancing classes are a good way to meet women. Seems like if you're not already smooth, cool, and extremely sexy, no matter how you try to dance people just laugh at you or roll their eyes in embarrassment. I ask you; when was the last time you saw a fat, ugly, or otherwise awkward looking sex symbol on TV dancing to music, or even an ugly male dancer? It seems to me you have to be good looking to be a successful dancer, or else have blue hair and covered with tattoos. Which reminds me; what is it about tattoos that drive women mad with desire?

I can't really see how going somewhere you wouldn't normally go just to meet a girl is gonna' work.
I mean, surely if you wanted to meet someone like yourself, you'd go places you liked (and presumably they liked).
Also if you go somewhere where you don't feel comfy, you'll be even more shy, surely? lol

Which reminds me; what is it about tattoos that drive women mad with desire? Have you seen Charles Durning's Oscar nominated supporting performance as the governor of Texas in the movie "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas"? He does one of my favorite dance sequences ever in that movie. I didn't think the movie was that great, but he was a standout. How about Christopher Walken's dance sequence for the Fatboy Slim video for 'Weapons of Choice'? Both did an excellent job, neither could win a Mr. America contest. Smooth dancers, attractive,talented and interesting men, and neither of them pretty boys. And who told you women are driven mad with desire by tattoos? If I was crazy about a guy, I could put up with them, but I sure wouldn't go out of my way looking for tattoos.

Some of those guys may have been awkward starting out but they worked through it. People will laugh when you are new at something, buts its ok. Its expected that a beginner will be bad. You just have to laugh along and keep going. As for being fat - dancing and a good diet should help.

True, diet and dancing would work a lot for a fat person. And yes, Meow, is right; fat guy dancers do exist. I was just making an overgeneralization, unfairly too. Anyway, all it takes is for me to make a few moves in front of people, and after a few laughs, i'm ready to run away.

Dancing does work with meeting of most girls as most guys don't dance. Dancing if you can get up the nerve; does show self confidence as girls like guys who will dance with them and seem sure of themselves. I didn't as I was too shy but I was informed by many women that dancing allow for conversation between you and them on a one-on-one basis which could result in a warm relationship. Think about it guys.....it is a great trick if you will give it a try.

I have tried dancing; the truth is i really suck at it. I have to agree with what several people have mentioned on this topic; at church or at bookstores is an excellent way to meet women, particularly the nice, shy girls that i seem to be attracted to. At dance clubs i always seem to encounter precisely the type of women i try to avoid.

When I moved here and decided to stop being shy, I met people in many ways:
* Speed-dating or one of the alternatives. You'll meet 10-20 women in a couple of hours (great for the self-esteem, unless you go in with the idea you're going to get dates with most of them), plus any fellow guy daters you want to talk to.
* Internet dating. Not a great idea. Highly competitive (way more men than women), and, of course, in a competitive situation, shyness hinders. I did get lots of dates that way.
* DO SOMETHING you enjoy doing. If you only like things that other guys like, time to expand your interests. I joined the local vegetarian group, and most of my friends have come from there. I also tried various team sports. Salsa-type dancing can be great - the women are often so happy to have a guy there that they're quite happy to help you dance.
* Parties. If you get invited to a party, GO! Then mingle. Push yourself as far as you can, socially, and don't judge yourself.
* Many cities have newcomers groups.
