Where To Find Your 'Motivated To Marry' Partner
By Coach Amy Schoen. Posted on .
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!
The following activities are where women, as a whole, would be in the minority and I
recommend them to seek out to meet men:

be a good way to connect.
