the point is...post college (and not even, really - I'm still in law school - only they're ALL married) how is this feat accomplished?

Get with that girl from Kentucky before she gets a breast reduction.

I hope that I keep up with my trend of never wanting to date anyone b/c trying to meet guys after college sounds like it really sucks. I just like to have crushes on pretty boys, get them to fall in love with me, and then break their hearts...which I am way too old to still be doing...

Anyway, for those of you who are searching for someone...try the grocery store! Or the gym! (Those are actually probably really terrible suggestions, but hey you never know?) Good luck.

It's really not bad -- there are always BARS.

Because there are such quality men hanging out in bars. If you're going for quantity...sure. =) I'd have to say, it's hard to meet decent folks when you get out of college though, unless you have a lot of single friends with the hook up.

Yeah, I'll hurry up and tell my boyfriend of 3+ years that he's not quality.

Just thought of another idea for the gal from Michigan. There are a zillion street/art fairs with bands/music, etc. Wyandotte starts next week and Ann Arbor is the week after that. Lots of men there, especially hanging out around the stages.

This is the classic "easier said than done" application of RC's First Rule of Greekchat.

The answer is obviously, "STOP BEING A HUGE PUSSY"

Now, since we're all here right now, this is obviously easier said than done. Frankie says that's life - but I know one thing that definitely doesn't help: bitching about it.

I am in the same boat you are... either that or they "don't want to risk one of the best friendships" they've ever had... PUH-LEASE!!!
Maybe it's just a Lexington, KY thing!

I think its a Lexington, KY thing. B/c i"ve been single for a while. ANd I never used to be single this long. And all the guys I meet are tools or already have girlfriends, or don't want to risk the friendship but hey they want benefits too. GRRRRR!!

Maybe all of us need to get together and help scout out the opposite sex for each other!

LOL... uh I agree

Maybe we're looking at the wrong schools or something.
We should start a support/search group.

Oh man I HATE that excuse... If we're such good friends and are attracted to each other, what more is there to ask? I think it's more of a committment thing on the part of the boys here in KY!

I have friends that are using those dating websites. They seem to have decent success with it because they both work about 7 days a week.

Or you can just head to Cancun for a week. I'm sure you'll get some ass there.

those married friends you have will have single friends. let the married friends(and single friends, for that matter) know that you would like to meet someone in the hopes that you would hit it off and start dating. let them know the kind of woman/man you are looking for. have the married couple come along on your first meeting-they will help take the pressure off. when you go to meet these women/men, just approach it like you are meeting an associate, not a potential snogging partner. that takes the pressure off.you can even prearrange with your friends a signal so that they can cruise on off home if you and potential snogging partner hit it off, and another signal if the evening is not going as well as you had hoped. and be nice-even though you might not hit it off with this person, they might know someone you would have a great time with. my husband and i were introduced by a mutual friend.

join an organization like the jaycees,young republicans, young democrats, young anarchists or some other young professional organization. just make sure that this org. has members of the opposite sex. again, even if there seem to be no prospects in the organization, those poeple will know someone who might be the perfect match. it really is all about networking. how about a coed softball team, or beach volleyball or some other coed sport?

and sigmachicard, get over your ex. you will be in a better frame of mind to meet women if you did it minus the baggage. when i was lamenting a lost love, i never managed to meet anyone, but let me get happy with myself and be perfectly fine with being alone and i had more guys interested than i could ever imagine. maybe its that feeing of contentment vs that feeling of desperation that people pick up on.

sigmachicard, and trideltauk, do you know each other? you both sound like nice people and i know that a greekchat romance would be fun to read about!!
