I'm really struggling with this and when I ask I always get the same answer: "Join a club or society in your area". That's too generic and not much use unless you are interested in dance lessons!

The problem I see is that most women meet guys at parties or while they are out drinking. It seems that all women are interested in doing here is going out and getting drunk. Sad but true. Not many I know actually have 'hobbies' such as dance lessons, mixed sports, etc. That's not to say they don't do anything, but what they do is normally 'one off' events for example, they go on a day trip to the beach or go to visit a theme park with friends.

Yeah I'm from England too. I think the women over here are low quality because British culture as a whole has gone to the dogs. There are still a few nice girls around. As for how to meet them I'm not sure. If you're not fussy online dating or clubs (still a bit hit and miss, you might have to go to a dance class or somthing that interests women). There are many answers to your question but I feel there are no eloquent solutions all of them will be uncomfortable and require work.

Do an evening course in something. Are you at uni or planning to go? Obviously that's an easy way to meet people. Dating sites could work.

I met my partner through an online chat room and I don't care if anybody thinks this is sad or not, because I have been living quite happily with her for the last 3 years - so it can, and does work. Anybody who says this is sad ought to get a life of their own. Have you considered giving this a go, it can and does work for some lonely people.

Stevie/Shield, Its no wonder you're having trouble with girls with attitudes like that! Not all women are like that you know!

'British women are low quality'? What's that all about?

Get a grip guys! Sad

There is a generalization about brits in general...Male and female, that we are loutish drunks. Here in Britain the problems we have with binge drinking doesn't help portray a positive image, and a handful of Brits acting like louts on holiday in foreign countries does not help either.

It's sad because the ''low quality'' British women you mentioned dont represent Britain as a whole, and it's unfair that there are decent women who get tarred with the same brush.

Low quality? We're people, not products! Jeez, have some tact.

Perhaps you're just hanging around the wrong places? I mean, if you hang around bars and clubs, you're going to meet sleazy binge-drinking "ladettes", aren't you? However, if you join an evening class, say, learning a language or dancing or something, then you're more likely to meet interesting people...or at least that's my opinion. Perhaps i'm wrong...

It's not just me who thinks so. I am referring more to girls that go to clubs. Me and my friends do that a lot which is probably why we're a little jaded.

Those that are in them kind of places may be, but the ones your not seeing out getting drunk are the good ones Wink Try going into your town on a Saturday daytime, you know that ladies like to shop. Just strike up a conveersation with someone you are interested in.
