Dear Queenie,
I’m a woman in my 30s, educated and attractive, but it seems like all the men I meet are much younger than I am or kind of stupid or gay.
Queenie, I don’t like hanging out in bars, so how do I meet a nice guy?—Still single
Dear Still single,
You need to meet a lot of guys, many of whom will not meet your requirements, to meet a few who do meet them. Go places, including stopping by a bar or two for “happy hour” and maybe flirting with one or two of the other patrons. Throw parties for your friends and let them know what kind of guy you are looking for so if they know one they can bring him with them. Join a service club and/or community service organisation – not all the male members will be married or otherwise “attached.”
And keep in mind that “uneducated” is not the same as “stupid.”
