There’s so much competition in LA that it can seem overwhelming. Sometimes, it looks like all the good women are taken. The city has a vast population of people from all kinds of backgrounds, so that’s definitely not true. Meeting girls in Los Angeles has actually never been easier than it is today.

However, most guys make the mistake of focusing on bars and clubs. If you live in downtown LA, Silverlake, Atwater, or any other area with a high population of single women, walking a dog can help you meet someone. Don’t bide your time if you know someone with a cute pooch. Get walking now.

Volunteer

Many single women in LA are involved in volunteering. It’s a chance to do good, pass the time, and meet like-minded people. There are thousands of non-profit organizations in the city dedicated to all kinds of causes, from social to animal rescue.

Go Dancing

Single ladies around the world love salsa and swing dancing, and LA girls aren’t an exception. The only downside to this option is the high entry barrier. Before you go dancing, you need to take a class to at least learn the basic moves. Odds are there will be lots of hot girls in the class, though. As learning to dance is the point of the initiative, you’ll probably get to dance with all of them. You’ll have a good time even if it doesn’t lead to anything. 

Date in Person

We have nothing against dating online. Tinder is still the reigning champion of dates based on mutual physical attraction. It’s no wonder the platform has acquired a hookup-only reputation, although more and more people are meeting significant others through it today. Either way, it’s often the case that you get a good impression of someone online that simply doesn’t carry over into real life. Another downside of online dating is that apart from your profile pic, the girl really has nothing to judge you on, and that leads to all kinds of complications. They say nobody looks worse than on their photo ID, and for some of us, this goes for all photos. 

For these reasons, why not sign up for one of match.com’s real-life meetups? Don’t worry, they don’t have to involve awkward small talk. Match.com organizes events such as ski trips and visits to museums.
