Where are some good places to meet guys?
I HATE online dating and I have never met a nice guy in a bar or club, so where else can I go? Are there these secret spots filled with single men that I don't know about?

The truth is you even can find nice guys in your normal daily day place such like the bus stop, cafe, grocery even near your neighbourhood... You just have to see it...
Good for you! Online dating only accounts for about 5% of the marriages each year in the U.S.
The other 95% meet their spouses though family, friends, work, church/synagogue, and school/college.
Another idea is to get involved with a male-dominated hobby or sport: hiking, skiing, cars, computer science, ham radio, accounting classes, business school, Rotary, scuba diving, or marksmanship.
I'm not a big fan of bars because you have nothing to do but look at each other and drink yourself silly. It's easier for most people to have a focus on something else--then a friendship naturally forms.
My husband of all people has a great piece of advice for this question-- happy hour. You can size up the men based on how they dress, what they drink and what time they leave. Evening hours and weekends at a bar are a crap shoot. There could be lots of women, married people or youngins there and it's a waste of time. But at happy hour you get business, employed men who are out for a quick beverage on the way home. And that way you can size them up and not waste your time on all the online bs.
