I work in a restaurant as a server, and I overheard a conversation with 2 women complaining about the lack of men out there.
Here`s a hint honey: there is such a thing as eye contact and communication, lift those ridiculously big sunglasses off your eyes, pick your pie hole up from all the texting you do and actually try to have an adult conversation with a member of the opposite sex, maybe, just maybe, you`ll meet someone. —Empty complaints

Maybe they were referring to quality datable men….because Halifax DOES lack them.
that’s cause we aren’t congregating at the bar every friday or saturday night.
get a fucking hobby and you may actually meet people whom you’ll still want to know 2 days later.
I’m a 30 year old guy, educated, I have a good job that I like, I’m fit, not butt ugly and I believe manners mater and I’ve been single for two years now, I have however been stood up 3 times in that time though.
Don’t tell me there’s no men around here.
You don’t fucking understand! My whole life is in my phone or blackberry.
Ladies can always try on-line dating, because THAT always goes over well lol
No, they’re talking about the lack of a free ride. See we’re not rich enough for that in the Maritimes – we don’t have the money to support the new deal. Now if you want to come work on the farm… but what are the chances of that?
Nice Goin’ Fat – whatever makes you feel good about yourself cool guy.
Guess I’m done with this shit too.
Fuck you Halifax.
That was dumb, cry baby.
There are lots of great guys out there… but they’re usually looking for a great girl (or guy). It goes both ways. You aren’t going to find a dreamboat by whooooring it up downtown, or being a priss, or not showing any interest/motivation… And it takes time. It’s probably a rare thing to find “the one” (if that’s even possible) without hard work and a lot of consideration and give and take. Three things that seem to be quite rare.
Here’s the problem, you can’t go out “looking” for the perfect man/woman, you just have to live your life, if it really meant to be, the opportunity will present itself. I also don’t think that is what they were talking about though. Here’s how I see it most of the time, a table of three or four girls sitting around laughing and drinking, making fun of everyone in earshot…. might be a little hard to approach and start a conversation with. Soooo with that I have to say, maybe bars and a group of your girlfriends may not be the way to meet men.
Oldhand you must be a cop! The only reason you come here is to try and get NGF landed in jail for smoking a blunt sideways.
