    basically im a 26 year old man living in north dublin , im tall and reasonably good looking but i dont have any girlfriends ie women friends to buzz with and do stuff with as mates , all my friends care about is boozing and to be honest theres more to life than drink , they all get dressed up to the hilt and take longer than women id say but they never ever chat women up at all , they aint gay , they just cant be bothered so therefore im out with them and we dont have girl mates , im trying to make new friends to do things with as u cant have enough friends and so im trying just to meet a few people as friends etc

    you are going to get told to take it to a dating site but if you leave out the part where you asked for women to leave you messages i would probably be in same boat

    it can be a pain in the ass constantly being around fellas and even in a club if there are no women directly in your group it does not count. fellas act completely different when girls around weather they are friends or otherwise (calmer i would say) and sometimes you just want a bit more of a chilled night

    but ye make more friends is the only way i havnt found the right way to do it yet but im sure itll happen. personal issues is not the right place either......trust me iv tried:p

    Pubs and clubs are not the best places to meet. Is there something you really enjoy doing? Find a group that does it with a good mix of singles, join, and become the most enthusiastic member. Enthusiasm can serve to draw people to you, some of them women.

    ^agreed.

    Perhaps try looking in your local newspaper or magazine or something of that sort for activities around your area and maybe try taking up some of those activities to meet people.

    In my area, we get an activity booklet that comes out every season that gives things for people to do such as learning how to ride a motorcycle, karate, dancing....things like that. But we get the paper everyday that keeps us up to date on events happening around the area so that if something was going on on a sunday, we could go to that if we wanted to.

    Perhaps look into doing something like that and you wont meet just women, but you could also meet guys that dont drink constantly and just go to the bars and clubs.

    good luck

    Quite a lot of posters make comments when someone says join a gym or club.

    However, if you get the herald free papers a study showed that 17% of peple met friends or partners in gyms/clubs.

    Better than drinking and reasonably succesful by the looks of things
