I've been in Denver for 2 years and I've only ever managed to get dates with men online Denver seems very cliquey.
I've never had men initiate conversations at bars, etc.. Where are all the single men? When I first moved to Denver I could've sworn there were no other single people in this entire town- I totally understand where your coming from. I have had a ton of luck meeting people at breweries, most of the time without even being the one to initiate conversation.
I would say 9 times out of 10 I wind up talking to someone- I wouldn't necessarily want to DATE all of them, but I've met a lot of really cool people. Then again, those are the breweries I go to most often, but I think the reason I like them so much is because the atmosphere is always friendly. One thing I've realized is helpful is to keep your phone away. It sounds obvious, but it makes a huge difference If you're just sitting back enjoying a beer people are way more likely to engage in a conversation than if you're hunched over the bar staring at your phone.
Again, obvious, but it's so easy to get sucked into the phone-hole it's worth keeping in mind! You could also try something like joining a climbing gym if you're into that The Spot don't quote me on this Might be a different bouldering gym in Boulder even has a small bar attached to it so it's the best of both worlds ;. I'm surprised not many answers. Maybe you are right But I can guarantee you at a night club men asking you to dance. Maybe not your cup of tea but it's pretty damn fun.
My ex is currently single. I can forward his information to you. He's very successful and not too bad looking. I also know a lot of people with successful marriages who met online. We're at home plotting how to get the single women to come out.

Where is that guy always complaining about lack of non-racist women in Denver when you need him? I was one of those guys who had a pretty hard time asking any woman out. Just get out there and do group events that sound fun. If you do something that is fun to you, and fun to the other. I concur with Marc.

He is not only charming, but unbelievably dashing. I highly recommend all the single ladies reach out to him by messaging him asking for just a fraction of his day. If you're lucky enough to score a bit of his time, it will be more than worth your while. I recently discovered that doctors give much different physicals to dudes after the age of I met my current boyfriend online and actually met a lot of great guys online when I was dating so I wouldn't rule out meeting someone that way. I think you can meet crappy people anywhere, just because you meet someone at a bar or somewhere offline doesn't necessarily mean he isn't a douchebag.
However, I also had some good luck meeting guys through Meetup groups. There are tons of groups for single people, some are tailored to specific interests, but others are just groups where you meet for happy hour or a festival or a bar or whatever to mingle and hang out. I also had good luck meeting nice people through volunteering if that's your thing.
I didn't meet anyone I wanted to date that way but I know a lot of people do. Also, don't be afraid to make the first move if you don't already. If you see someone out and about and you think he's cute, walk up and say hello. You never know what might happen, good or bad. Found this one for Rhadford: Men feel a lot of pressure to always be the ones to initiate, which is unfortunate.

They shouldn't be the only ones risking rejection. How about next time you're out, find someone cute and walk up and talk to them! Trust me, I've always been one to initiate and men find it attractive. It's , keep it equal! If this scares you too much, yes, try online dating. I have had luck there too, if a relationship doesn't blossom a friendship might. Not sure what kind of music you like-- but concerts are always a good way to meet guys that are into the same scene as you: Well, you have a choice of the Lodo douchbags or the South Broadway hipsters.
How do you feel about tattoos, beards and skinny jeans? If you're up for that - hit South Broadway. This conversation is older than 2 months and has been closed to new posts. Sign Up Log In. Because Denver seems to have all the elements where good things can happen. Seattle "is a lot like Denver," Howie maintains, "except that the men in Seattle are frustrated by their inability to communicate with women, and the men in Denver seem indifferent toward their inability to communicate with women — and that didn't make any sense to us. So we really dove into Denver.
Besides doing our live shows, we spent a lot of time going around the city and talking to people. And we found it it wasn't one of those cases like in New York or San Francisco or Boston, where the women are difficult or unapproachable or think they're too good. Denver women are pretty much as good as you're going to get.
Welcome to Reddit,
But the men in Denver — and I'm generalizing — are as passive as any we've come across considering what they have there and their ability to do better. This quality puzzles Howie. One problem with Denver dating, in Howie's view, is the fondness men have for gathering in mostly male packs. They just hang out together in groups.

But in Denver, men who are in their thirties and forties are acting that way. Such an approach to socializing is hardly universal, Howie stresses. They don't have Facebook, they don't have Tinder, and they don't have porn, so they're forced to interact with each other. But Denver has so much natural beauty and so many things going on that I think it's made everybody a little lazy.
Maybe it's too nice and comfortable and active. Like, 'Let's go on a hike' instead of going on an actual date — and one woman in Denver told us, 'If we really wanted to go hiking, they should serve wine on top of the mountain. Denver men phone it in from a wardrobe perspective, too, Howie's found.
Denver is nicknamed Menver because there are supposedly more single males than single females on the market — and if these stats are accurate, they would seem to motivate guys to try harder. But Howie scoffs at the entire concept. That's supposedly why there are these bro packs that you just don't see in the rest of the country. But in Man Jose, they're a bunch of mostly techny nerds who are afraid of women, and the men in Denver aren't afraid of women. They're just lazy about it.
Besides, he continues, "I don't think there really are greater numbers. I think that's an illusion. In every city in the country, it's fifty-fifty between 18 and 65 — and then after 65, the men start to die off. One woman in Atlanta disputed that when I said it: She said, 'No, there are 70, more single women in Atlanta than single men.

For that reason, "I don't think the Menver thing has anything to do with the combination of passiveness and indifference we see in Denver men, and that's really unlike anything in any other city in the country," Howie maintains.
They're like, 'That's just the way it is. They're not angry — which makes them awesome. I mean, I can't believe they're not angry. I do shows in New York once a month, and those women are furious about all sorts of things. So it's not like the guys in Denver are dealing with a lot of bitchy women. The women in Denver are just a little sad. Acceptance isn't necessarily a good thing, though.
But men are still getting dates in Denver when they want them — so women need to hold them to a higher standard.
