Where to Meet Women: 8 Hottest Places

Knowing where to meet women can be the difference to getting laid or spending Saturday night alone.

From my experience going to the bar or clubs and approaching girls can put you at a great disadvantage because you are competing with other man and the girls there usually aren’t quality girls. You’ve got to meet women where you have the greatest advantage.

Remember there are thousands of men, just like you, who want to date and get laid with those beautiful girls. You are in a competition, but you can easily make this game work in your favor if you follow simple rules.

First Things First: Do You Have the Confidence to Approach?

On my website I give the advice straight up, the way dating advice needs to be said. I don’t fluff up anything. Therefore, before we get into where to approach women, you need to have the confidence to approach women.

If you have the confidence to “cold approach” women on the street you are ahead of 85 percent of men. Yes, you are part of the elite.

If you cannot yet do that, you must develop the skills. Everyone will overcome their fears one way or the other.

In my journey I used about 6 months of Whatsapp coaching to overcome my fear and develop core confidence. Every day I would receive a challenge, starting very small maybe giving a compliment, but I steadily built myself up to a place where I felt likable enough to do cold approach.

The 8 Hottest Places to Meet Women That Actually Work

But for those that have the confidence to approach women and you are just looking to find the best places to meet girls, here they are:

1. The Club:

If you want a party girl, a girl that’s not afraid to get your attention you’ve found your place.

The only downside is that you are competing with a lot of other men, but if that’s OK with you than more power to you. You will find tons of girls their, but in my experience they aren’t the highest quality.

I enjoy going to other places where everything is much easier and I can find the women I am truly attracted to.

You need to ask yourself:

• Do I like party animals?
• Do I want a girlfriend or a hookup?
• Do I want my girl to be a health nut?
• Are you looking for an outdoor girl, do you love the outdoors?
• Do you want a super feminine girl or one with some masculinity mixed in?

2. The Beach

The beach is easily one of my favorite places to meet single women. Beautiful women in bikinis — what more could a man ask for?

And it gets even better. Because these women look so cute, almost no men approach them. That means zero competition for you — and it’s easy to win the race when nobody else is running.

You simply walk up and say: “Hey, I saw you from the other side and I had to tell you that you’re so cute… my name is ___, what’s your name?” — and there you have it.

As long as you believe you’re worthy of love and you feel OK being yourself, you’ll get her number. In the PUA community, there’s a huge focus on “seducing” girls, but here’s the truth: if you can be your authentic self, you can get basically any woman you dream of.

Most guys are too scared to approach a woman on the beach — I get it, she’s half naked. But remember, that’s exactly what gives you the greatest advantage, because ain’t no other man stealing this girl from you.

3. University Campuses

Another great place — university campuses are absolutely swarming with young, beautiful women. So why not head over there and get a number or two?

One of the questions I get all the time is: “What if she asks me what I’m doing here? I’m not studying there, so what’s my excuse?”

This question actually bothered me for a long time, but the answer always comes back to the same thing: be authentic.

If you’re going over there to pick up a girl, tell her exactly that — tell her you’re looking for the love of your life. She will trust you so much more for it.

Think about it: if you can’t be honest with her now, how can she know you’ll be honest in the bedroom?

4. The Mall

To this day, I don’t know why I used to be so terrified of approaching women at the mall. I used to joke around with my mentor that there were scary “mall monsters” hiding in every mall!

But you know what? Malls are actually a great place to meet women.

5. The Bookstore and the Library

I love the library — but it really depends on which city you’re in. If you live in a big city with tons of big libraries and bookstores, then you’re a lucky man.

The girls you’ll find in these places are smart, emotionally healthy women who are actually working on themselves. And if you’re an introvert — this IS your place. Don’t bother searching for women anywhere else.

If you’re an avid personal development “studier” like me, then this is the place for you. You can strike up conversations about all sorts of topics — self-help, business, psychology — and the conversation starts itself.

By the way, don’t be worried about finding a nerdy girl. Trust me: in the bedroom, they’re superwomen.

6. The Gym

The gym might just be the perfect place to meet women — especially if you’re a strong guy. The second the two of you meet, you already have something in common, and that makes it so easy to start any conversation.

Just ask her what she likes to do or whatever, and see where the conversation goes. If you feel the connection, go for the number close.

If you’ve read some of my blog posts, you know that women are just as afraid of getting approached as men are of approaching. So take it easy, relax, and appreciate her for who she is.

And there’s one more reason the gym is a great spot: the girls there are hot and fit. They look great!

7. The Street

I know you didn’t want me to say this, but the street is actually a great place to meet women. True, it kinda depends on where you live and the weather — but you could have a goldmine half a block from you.

The biggest resistance I get from men is that they don’t know what to say…

But again, I’ll tell you the same thing: just be authentic. Tell her she’s super attractive and that you just had to approach her.

Accept that you’re a man — accept your masculinity. A great book to read is The Way of the Superior Man. Here’s a discussion my mentor Joseph Rodrigues did on his YouTube channel.

Once you can accept your solid masculinity, approaching a woman on the street will be as easy as it gets!

I learned all of this through Sebastian Harris’s course and the WhatsApp coaching I mentioned above. It wasn’t easy, but it was well worth it.

8. The Food Store

You have less of an advantage here because of all the social pressure she’s under — no woman wants to appear easy in front of strangers.

Women, much more than men, are super worried about what other people think of them. So try to make it look like you’re already friends, or that you’re just asking her a casual question.

When you give her a compliment, say it quietly — and like with every approach, take it slow. Rushing kills every seduction. You always want to appear natural.

And if you’re a healthy guy, head over to Whole Foods or any healthy store nearby. You might find some girls just like you there — and shared values always make things much easier.

Final Thoughts: Be the Authentic You

I really feel the need to stress this point: be the authentic you. And I don’t mean the persona you put on because of all the fear and trauma you’ve been through — I mean the real, masculine, loving you.

The guy that loves himself and does what he wants. This is who you need to be when you approach women in these 8 places:

1. Club / Bar
2. Beach
3. University Campus
4. Mall
5. Bookstore / Library
6. Gym
7. Street
8. Food Store

And don’t worry — practice makes perfect. You will get better. Much better.

If you’re one of the guys who is really serious about this, then go check out Sebastian’s course that I recommended in this article. I tell guys to get it because it’s the same course I used — and it worked.

Either way, get out of the house. Stop playing video games and watching YouTube — you have women to meet, date, and take to bed.
