A few more key points:
Never, never, never complain about the lack of good men in mixed company. God only knows what eligible men there might have been interested in you.
Flirt. It works. Flirting means making it apparent to the other person that you want them to ask you out.
Don’t shop for a husband at a bar; shop in a social context where you will meet the same people several times.
Exactly. And this is why internet-based dating simply does not work for me.
See, in my experience, when I successfully find someone, it is because -- over time -- the positive qualities outweigh the other (inevitable) bad ones. Maybe she has a big booty. Maybe she has an annoying laugh. But if, after time, I get to know the stuff that is wonderful, I find myself getting truly interested.
On an internet date, I meet them once. They look at me and see a few qualities they don't like. I look at them and do the same. We mutually check one another off 'the list'.
However, in real life, there is time to minimize the minor negatives and see the major positives.
I “shop” for women at AA meetings. All the party girls are there!
The best place for a mate would probably be within the realm of one’s social activities.
Flirting is always a winner. In the South its just part of our culture. It makes people feel desirable.
