Hellish Singles Mixer

So last night was the second "fun happy hour singles mixer" I've went to in the last week. The first one was AWFUL because no one showed up, and I was stupid enough to come to the one last night.
It was on the other side of town, like a 45 minute drive for me, and it was a complete 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN FEST!!! Ugh I need 14 showers just to handle the stench of their cologne, desperation, and musky odors.. Seriously, older men need to bathe and dress less hipster.
There were 30 men at the event, all over 35, and only 4 girls, all under 30. To be fair the women were cute, and pretty sweet, and they all had a good sense of humor. But... did you ever see that movie 300?
That's what it was like. They SWARMED the women there, you could hear gerard butler style battle cries, and see the bodies and blood flying. "WOMEN, LAY DOWN YOUR PANTIES!!!"
"MEN, COME AND GET THEM!"
I really feel a mix of depression, sadness, and hopelessness. What was supposed to be a fun night out meeting new people turned into a waste of a babysitter and almost an entire night of my life.
FML.

a singles heterosexual mixer never works if it's a sausage fest....

Go to POF website. Good luck.0

HAHA been there, done that. It's the same thing, most of the women have to sort through PILES of emails each day, and I have to imagine that it just gets tiring, most of the active people on POF are new and or trying really really hard.
Is it so wrong to just want to have a conversation, meet people? Why are guys such covetous *kitten*? You'd think that being a swarming hipster looking goober would fail enough times that they might actually try being nice once in a while.0 -

Try going out somewhere that you like and chat up some of the girls there.

Well.. I don't know. Not a total loss. I am madly amused at your story. That's a win right?

Try a paid site (match.com). . The swarm isn't as bad, from what I hear. . And just try to be funny, genuine, friendly. . and check your spelling and for pete's sake get your pronouns right (i.e.. your vs you're and there vs they're vs their). .0

Ew, sounds gross.
You'd probably have more luck meeting women doing something not explicitly related to dating, like joining a co-ed rec league, taking a language class, jeez, anything. I can't imagine ever going to something like that.0 -

The paid sites aren't any better....it's all a tossup anymore. :grumble:
And, LMAO about the pronouns...0 -
I am on this site and it is a joke. I specifically stated that I was looking for someone to hang out with, NOT hook up with, and all I get is freaks who in their first message to me ask if I want to hook up. I mean really?Go to POF website. Good luck.
I stated I wanted someone to do outdoor exercise with. Hiking, rock climbing and so forth.0 -

^^ this is gross.
Also, with the grammar.. I got you covered good buddy, I'm a grammar snob! Not that I'm proud of it. It's loose, not lose, Their and There, they're NOT the same, Affect and Effect are two different words, Irregardless isn't a word unless you're an idiot, and there is no A in definitely. If you put an A in definitely, then you're DEFINITELY an A-hole
Also, I have to clarify, I wasn't upset about not finding someone, I wanted to go out with fun people and have a good time with people my age clinking brewskis and talking about football, not watch old buzzards try and feed on carrion.0 -
Ever notice star wars was the same way?0

My favorite part of this story is how terrible all those other guys were but yet you were there too.0

It was my first time meeting that singles group. My *ahem* friend told me to come, and it would be a fun time. I believed him.

That is one of the best dating tips I've seen in awhile, using pronouns correctly. Also be sure you know how to properly set a table.0 -

If I'm ever single again, I'm probably going to stay that way. I can't deal with meat markets.
I hope you have better luck with another approach.0 -

I think I'm going to go to an antique store, buy an old wooden barrel, and just stand on it with one leg like captain morgan in random places until a girl talks to me. That would be efficient AND sexy!0

Yeah I was one of those girls at one of those mixers once. Talk about uncomfortable. If you are one of the only girls there nearly every guy is going to ask for your number. And I only gave mine to one of the 20 or so that asked. It was like a night of uncomfortable denials where you can't even lie and say you are seeing someone.
I love a disappointment train wreck as much as the next girl, but not if I am the engineer derailing the whole thing.0 -

Not only that, but I bet you'd have a perfect one liner ready to go!0 -

Knife, fork, plate, aw ****e man, you forgot the cups!0 -
ROFL. Thank you for being a seemingly honest and normal man in among the opposite.0

Try activities you like to meet people. The singles events I go to have always been really bad. Fortunately, I'm seeing someone.0

and corrects grammar like nobody's business..
sorry, I had to....pet peeve. You know what he/she is trying to say .....why put them on blast? To feel better about yourself? Go running for 30 minutes..you'll have a better outcome. Chances are they wont remember your corrections and use them again in their next sentence. Save your energy.
p.s. try dating sites that charge...chances of you finding someone to mingle with are higher0 -
