Dating Coach for Women Over 35, 40, Ladies, don’t just go to the same place game after game when you want to meet more men at midlife
Yesterday’s blog post about DOs and DON’Ts for single women using the great Dating Success Tip of going to Sports Bars on a regular basis frankly was already so long that I held off on adding this important caveat as part of your Sports Bar Strategy until today.
Do Rotate the Sports Bars Which You Attend
Ladies, when you are planning your activities and social schedule for going to Sports Bars with your girlfriends (remember to keep your gaggle to a gagglette of 3-4 girlfriends and not you whole posse entourage, so men approach you), you want to identify a handful of sports bars in your area. You want to identify really about 4 or 5 places or even 7 to go to.
5-7 Sports Bars
To work with a schedule over a 3 week period, you will identify about 5-7 Sports Bar you can go to. 2 will be 5 minutes away. 2 just South of you. 2 just North of you. And 1 or 2 more are East or West. Of these, one can be the Local Joint. One or two part of a chain franchise. One is The Yuppie Sports Bar. One is almost a dive but you love it. You want to vary both the locations as well as the style of the establishment so you encounter a real mix in the crowd.
Of course in Las Vegas, really just about each of the Casinos has a Sports Bar and they are superb places to meet men especially during March Madness. You might want to book your Girls Weekend Retreat in Vegas there for March now to leverage that.
Because let’s say you decide to really go all out on this Dating Success Tactic and go to a Sports Bar both Sunday and Monday night for about 3 – 4 weeks running. You do NOT want to be going to the same Sports Bar on consecutive nights. Were you to do so, you become too familiar to the guys who go there. Like, their Buddy. Buddy identification is not a sexy chemistry inducing identity with guys.
You want to have a sexy, a little mysterious while warm and approachable aura (hence walking up to the bar yourself for your drinks and warmly ordering them from the bartender. Let others see you confidently with poise interact graciously with the bartender and tip them.
Do Retain a Mysterious and New Aura for Maximum Allure
You are just here tonight. If a guy sees you and finds you attractive, he has to approach you tonight, interact with you, and get your number tonight! (I keep wanting to hum the song, “One Night Only!” from Dream Girls.) Otherwise he could totally miss out! He might see you again there… but it is purely coincidental because the next time you are there… it is like in 3 weeks now on a Monday Night instead of the last time when you were there Sunday Night. When he sees you, he must make some effort… or he will miss out of getting to meet and date you, wonderful you! The next time he sees you… you might already be taken!

October 6, 2009 at 4:21 AMJust make sure that when you are actually in the bars, don’t describe your friends to the men as your “gaggle” or “gagglette” or they will be gaggling all over themselves.
How big is the full posse BTW? 🙂

To get the right matching, it’s a quality numbers game. So your advice is sound and good.
One can also use Pure Numerology to take the guess work out & save time by understanding the other party’s traits even before meeting up.
