My philosophy from a very young age is to go where the guys are. I was lucky to
have an older brother and I used to play tennis, biked, ran track (the girls practiced
with the guys) and skied. I met a lot of guys during that time and always had a
boyfriend since the 9th grade because I liked doing what they did. I met my college
boyfriend on the tennis courts!

2. Internet Dating Sites:
Since guys see the internet as time and
money efficient, this is a good way to connect with guys. Also,
going in chat rooms with any subject you are interested in may
be a good way to connect.
3. For the more intellectually oriented:
