Whenever I go to the bookstore I see nice girls. They aren't "hot" but I find them attractive, and they are probably intelligent and have a good personality. If that's what you're looking for then go check out some of your local bookstores

Ah, the sixty-four-thousand-dollar question. I wish I knew "the" answer. I've tried to change many times - I've gone to therapists, spent thousands on self-help courses and books, made resolutions, etc., etc. I think this is like asking a former alcoholic why s/he finally quit.
For me, I decided that I had to keep trying or die in the attempt, because I did feel like some of the things I was doing or going to do would kill me. And, I also decided I couldn't continue living as if I was some kind of defective human who didn't belong. And...this time, unlike all the previous times, I decided I was going to DO whatever had to be done. In previous attempts, I had talked/read/thought about change, but not taken the steps necessary.
Also, previous attempts failed because I tried to do too much more than I was ready for. This time, I started out by reading in a coffee shop, then congratulating myself for doing so.

You were both smart and determined. Maybe that is the key.

Thanks Medici. However, I was smart and determined for many years; I tried many things. It was only when I made a conscious decision to push my boundaries - and to love myself no matter what - that I started to grow.

Plus, they have things to actually talk about, and odds are they probably won't betray you for some better looking guy after she's won your heart.

Volunteer work...especially helping the animals. Anywhere and everywhere. We lurk all over. Bookstores are good. Church I hear good reviews about.

Cary Grant..good show! Everything about any relationship takes time and determination to go ahead and try even if you don't succeed all the time. Not everyone will connect with each other but if you don't attempt meeting someone you won't meet anyone. As the father said to his son, "if you make the attempt, it at least gets you that much closer to meeting someone". ;D I met the majority of the girls I dated in banks. You go to get a check cashed and strike up a conversation with the teller. It worked for me better on getting dates than anywhere.

Most likely because the question will pop up again and again... etc.

We all aren't as lucky as Fonzie, who has the girlies coming over to him.

I think it's difficult to generalize about locations to meet "nice" girls. The nice girls are everywhere, wondering where the decent guys are. Granted, there are some places that are not hot spots to meet women, such as just about any "thing"-related area, from D&D salons to Internet startups...but that doesn't mean there aren't nice women there. They just make up a smaller proportion of the whole.

Most girls arent nice, maybe they think eveyrhting in life comes in a silver platter with gold lining and they have to step through shit (average or below guys) to get what they want. Libraries, ive tried, not a very good place, the girl was reading kids books(not a pedophile).

I think it's true that there will be nice girls in a lot of places, so surely it would be better to ask HOW to meet nice girls in some of the places you suggest. At parties it's not too difficult to have conversations with strangers since you know everyone is there to socialise. But then most of the girls I meet at parties aren't the kind of girls I really want to meet and so I never seem to find anyone I feel attracted to. It just seems so difficult to start conversations with people in public places, unless there is a specific reason for it. I know that girls will like the attention, but I worry about them thinking I'm some scary stranger coming up to them, or them thinking that I'm trying too hard.
