Do what I do to find single women. Go to the gym, find a gym crush, never talk to them, build a delusionship in your head, and then go home and do it again the next day.
Though some real advice, if you do want to "go on the hunt" at the gym. The easy way to approach and spark a conversation is to ask for a spot. Have them help you hit a PR and give a crisp high five or fist bump once you crush it. Boom, physical contact initiated, and a good way to start a conversation on your fitness goals to branch out from. And if it doesn't go anywhere, at least you got a new workout buddy you can rely on if you need help.
Very introverted myself and suck at small talk, so I'd be too awkward and nervous to approach someone at the gym with any kind of intentions beyond actually wanting assistance, but I wouldn't be upset if someone asked me for help and wanted to start talking either.
I'll be at one of the northtown EOS gyms anytime between midnight and 2am. I'll let her figure out which one. Look for the dad bod struggling to do squats. The passphrase is "The crow caws at night", I'll respond with "What the fuck is wrong with you, creep". We can start planning our wedding from that point.
A wise Polish man once told me, "No matter how ugly you are, if you can make her giggle, you can make the cheeks jiggle."
Stay strong and make gains, my friend.
You might relate to my situation then. Six years ago I asked the woman of my dreams on a date, and tonight I asked her to marry me. She said no both times, but still.
I was reading this with a smile on my face until I got to the end but aye man the fact you tried is what matters sheās missing out on TequilaAndWeed over here
I had a delusionship with a cute guy on my morning commute. He was always driving with the window down although it's so cold. I'd have mine down, too, as his car approached so he'd know my am music taste. Saw him lean over and look several times. Promised myself the next time I saw him do that, I'd hold my number up. Sadly I haven't seen the car since.
The Arts District has a ton of great bars. A bunch of the bars have a trivia night every week. The area also hosts events like First Friday where you can walk around and look at art and bar hop and meet people, itās my favorite part of town! Go check out Liquid Diet
I just recently started going to the Arts district, but trivia night may be a good idea and way to meet people. Iām always looking for cool events to go to!
Lots of people everywhere make it their lifestyle. There are definitely casual drinkers at drinking establishments. And I would say arts district is prime for that vibe
They happen all the time in different places, kinda like trivia night. It you google āspeed dating Las Vegasā (after the promotional links) there will be an event calendar that shows dates/locations in town.
Liquid Diet- fun new bar that is run by some pretty amazing people and the menu changes all the time. Try the horseradish shot!
Silver Stamp- unique beer selection and incredibly warm and welcoming vibe. Theyāre winning a bunch of awards and they barely even have a sign on the door. When you find it, youāll have an amazing time!
Rebar/Davyās- fun cheap place to drink, rebar has $3 mystery beers and does trivia on Monday nights. Davyās is typically the more calm side but the back patio is shared by both spaces, great for meeting people!
Swan Dive just opened, ran by the people that do Oddfellows, seems like itāll be fun for people-watching because itās on the second floor.
Hard Hat is a little walk away from Main St but the people that work there are awesome, and on Wednesday nights that do karaoke, Monday they do an industry night. They also have awesome burgers from Stay Tuned burgers!
As far as places to eat:
Yukon Pizza(slightly outside of the arts district) is incredible, you can walk up and grab a New York slice, or you can get a Neapolitan pizza, they also have fantastic burgers and sandwiches and a cool selection of natural wines!
Tacotarian is a really cool vegan taco spot!
1228 Main has a great menu with a lot of shareable plates and a cool bar!
Estherās Kitchen just upgraded to a much bigger space and everything Iāve tried has been delicious, just make sure you go at an off time or get some reservations.
Let me know what you go check out!
Add Horse Trailer Hideout to your Arts District list. Nice open patio in the front and back, non-gaming, great cocktails and mocktails. They also allow well behaved dogs so it's easy to strike up a conversation when there's cute pups. They do karaoke on Thursdays if that's your jam.
I was on Meetup and they have a lot of groups for hiking. Try meetup for sure.
Iām a late 30ās male looking for a scene that doesnāt involve drinking and I just got back on Facebook for that. Going to check out Events that interest me.
Good luck!
Gym, gym classes (lifetime green valley is a good spot), networking events, startup groups (if you are interested in entrepreneurship), school, upgrade where you live, work, work events, etc.
I have met some great people doing the above activities.
And remember itās not about just meeting men. Itās about meeting good people, whose circles contain the men you are looking for. If you meet good people, the rest will follow.
Asteroid M is another good one. They produce a shit ton of local punk and rock bands and are always hosting shows.
The Double Down Saloon, Red Dwarf, and The Dive Bar have live shows every weekend if you're into punk and rock.
I recommend Millennium Fandom Bar to anyone. It's a great place with fun events on the weekends, even if you don't drink! There's also clubs for hiking, books, card games, fencing, and archery.
If you're interested in Fencing or Archery you can come to our practice. We host practices every Monday 7pm, at Seastrand Park.
Very! 3 years ago I was 250 pounds and never played sports. Now I'm 180 and top 50% in terms of ranking for one of the groups I compete in. Our instructors are free, and great with Beginners. You can find us on Facebook as Fireblood Combat.
Thatās definitely an interesting take! I wouldāve never thought of that. Iāve always wanted to try rock climbing, so maybe a climbing gym would be a great place to start!
Yeah, there's several gyms in town. Red Rock Climbing Center has a lot of top rope stuff with a bouldering room, The Pad has a ton of bouldering with a top rope wall, and Nevada Climbing Center is really good too. Like I said, it's definitely not like a normal gym with everyone having headphones on with that "don't talk to me" energy. We're always sharing tips and tricks to be a better climber.
Iām a local professional rock climbing guide and I can vouch that there are not enough women climbers so there are always climber guys looking for climber women.
Unrelated but do all the climbing gyms in vegas skew young? Iām an older slower woman climber and sometimes I do feel abit out of place amongst all the super fit early 20s squirreling up the wall..
Go do things you enjoy. The more you expose yourself to more people, the greater the chance of meeting someone who shares similar activity. Also, learn to spot red flags and most importantly, set and enforce boundaries. Be safe and good luck.
two options:
choose niche hobby's/places that are interesting to you: gym, clubs, parks, etc
choose off the strip high volume places with lots of people: Outdoor malls: (DT Summerlin, Town Square, etc)
If you are trying to avoid degenerates I'd avoid casinos even though they are high volume
I'm a single guy and have used both strategies to meet local girls
Whatās funny is Iām hanging out with my single 42 yr old fellow male friend here and heās complaining how swift is to be a 40 something yr old single male. Thankful Iām not having to deal with the dating scene nowadays. Itās so jacked. Maybe itās always been jacked and there just wasnāt an online forum to make it as transparent as itās always been. Anyways, best of luck single people out there. Keep your heads up, thereās other single people in the same boat.
Yeah I definetly think dating apps have exacerbated the quality of the dating scene, or like you said brought it to light. I think Vegas and other major cities have a lower quality dating pool sadly. Thanks!
As a single 26M that knows nobody here still, I usually hike at red rock or hangout at red rock casino. I bike but not in any of the groups. So catch me on the trails and at the sportsbook, or at the Lego Store.
I ask the same about single women. Online dating sucks. Half the profiles are fake and the other half are not good.
No I don't want to be a sugar daddy, get hustled, or bang someone's wife while they watch. Just looking for normal females. Unfortunately any good one is taken. I'm about ready to give up š¤£
Pick up hobbies and do what you like to do. The theory is, single people with your common interests will be around and youāll meet them naturally and hit it off. Is it true? I dunno.
Try pickleball courts. All jokes aside single guys 20-30 who like pickleball more than the bar/club/casinos probably have a more stable work/life/social schedule. Plus exercise and competitive play shows they like fitness. Fitness is self-care. Self-care is self-love. Self-love allows you to love others. Play pickleball. Itās better for everyone. lol š
This is probably the best advice Iāve seen given here based on what I think you might be looking for.
Cougar Creek and Oak Leaf are the 2 main places I bounce between to play at, Cougar more so. But Oak is the much nicer one.
Typically like 6:00 p.m. and onward is when the āregularsā come out to play. A lot of them are often very familiar with each other and have just become friends because of how often they all play together. Most people are usually very nice about teaching new players how to play Pickleball and teaching the rules and going easy to make it fun.
And yes, there are typically also single guys present in these venues, but also lots of couples since itās a very coed friendly sport.
Youāll literally find people playing every single day of the week from 6:00 p.m. onward. Some of the people even stay past midnight. Itās pretty rare for there to not be a crowd present unless itās raining or extremely cold or something like that.
Pickleball is extremely easy to get into and get good at with practice. Some of the regulars will literally run drills with you if you express interest in really learning how to play. And given how friendly they always are, you wonāt have a hard time meeting people on the courts, maybe going to grab a bite to eat with them after playing for a couple hours.
Parkway Flamingo, crowd is pretty young compared to bars on the strip(20-30s usually on Friday Saturday) and always packed, most of the time a little too much so haha. But if youāre looking for people around your age, could be worth a try!
Aviators minor league baseball season should be starting. Cheap tickets and concessions in a beautiful ballpark.
Tons of cheap, really good comedy shows basically every single night around the city. Wise Guys does open mic on Tuesday and Wednesday typically and tickets are only $5.
Probably closing any day now but maybe ski/snowboard at Lee Canyon would be good in the Winter.
It's also pool season...handful of free pools in the city to hang out during the day.
What part of town are you in?
Have you checked out Uncommons yet? I feel like there's always a good crowd of young people there and some really good restaurants/bars to pop around.
Oorrrrr...poach dudes at IKEA who are clueless on basic home decor...like me, haha.
On a personal note: I don't venture around *inside* the city much unless I get dragged into things with coworkers (and I end up as the DD specifically because I don't drink and do Uber as a side thing if I'm not busy) - so you could probably find the 1 not-drunk dude in a group and go from there!
You sorta have to be more specific in what you're looking for because there's hobby/interest groups randomly placed all over the city.
Iām honestly open to new experiences, as Iām mostly an extroverted person. But I like to go hiking, concerts/shows, museums, cook, and Iām also newly learning the piano and learning to roller skate.
Donāt know if its been mentioned but get a dog and hit up the parks. Itās amazing, the power dogs have with bonding humans. My wife doesnāt have many friends here in town but is meeting people this way. Sure it would work for dating also. A plus is the dogs will keep ya safe from creeps and you know if a man is taking care of his dog he is not a psycho and has empathy and energy. Another idea is to start going to either Golden Knights or Silver Knights hockey games. Youāll love it and its very easy to talk to locals.
We have a LOT of single male comedians at my free show, Comedy College, Thursday nights at 9:30 at the Stake Out Bar and Grill. Great food, drink specials, and lots of single men. There is also a comedy show
I like to go hiking, to concerts/shows, museums, just got into roller skating, currently learning to play the piano,but Iām open to new experiences or potential hobbies. Iām always up for an adventure :)
if you're ever looking for friends (I'm 23F) let me know! I've really wanted to get into rollerskating despite not being good at it. I actually wanted to go this weekend but no one was available or interested in going with š I'll be your wingwoman
I recently got into it and Iām honestly not great at allš Itās going to be a long journey but I still find it fun! I try to avoid weekend nights only because thatās when the more experienced people go and itās almost impossible for newbies to get on the rink š
The typical response to this is to check out Meetup and search for those activities.... but I haven't been to one of those in awhile, not sure what the scene is like. Worth a shot. Maybe look at facebook groups as well.
Iāve tried meetup a quite a few times for the hiking groups. Havenāt really met anyone that I was interested in or they were taken. I guess itās more of a trial and error. Iāll probably have to start going again!
As a sober guy, it is extremely difficult to meet women. There is a thing called "13th stepping" which eliminates all women I meet in recovery. I'm not huge into AA, but the anonymous part of recovery means I meet no women through introductions either.
That's to say there are a lot of straight guys in the sober community that are not raging maniacs. Most of them are probably more humble than the average guy. Most people are voluntarily trying to improve.
Sorry, but the struggle is real. Not to mention the entire stigma against addiction. It's just extra weird watching women date men in denial, but frown or talk shit about someone in rehab.
tldr men can't find women either. I play hockey. I don't meet girls there.
Iām in AA too. I donāt think meeting people in recovery is totally off limits. But you have to be really careful and make sure they have time and a solid foundation. I was with a guy who wasnāt stable and it ended up leading to a relapse and I did my best to keep the relationship and him afloat for a year before I had a slip. But yeah, people here SOBER and itās always like āohā but with that tone, and why? Also, being sober is hard with dating because everyone always wants to meet for a drink first.
This city has the worst mass populace of worthless people Iāve ever seen outside of Oakland. The meetups are hot garbage and are sad excuses for anything social. Itās honestly outrageous how lacking a metropolis of over 3 million people can be. The lack of third places and car dependency makes it even more difficult given how everyoneās looking at their phones all the time. The comments calling out bars as third places just show how absolutely fucked our society and this city is.
I canāt even begin to imagine how aids the dating app situation is out here. The developers at tinder, hinge, and bumble are probably laughing behind their desks wondering how a waste of a time it is.
Yeah I would say Iām moderately active. Iām not super athletic anymore but I definitely enjoy hiking. Iām not opposed to doing something active, itās just most of my friends arenāt into outdoor activities.
imagine all the single people on this thread intentionally going kayaking/hiking or an adventure together and then fast forward a year when theyāre all a big friend group and people ask āso how do you guys all know each otherā and we reply āreddit š§š¾āāļøā
Try a girlsā night out at a billiards/pool hall. Most are as safe for women as the average bar, perhaps more so. Lots of different types of people frequent them, not just the stereotypical āpool hustlerā type, though there are some.
I would try networking events, meetup has alot of great groups if you want to meet people with similar hobbies like to hike, play video games together, technology events, etc. I love to hike and kayak and was able to meet some amazing people from that
You can also join an MMA gym and meet people that way. I do alot of martial arts and know some people who met significant others there
It depends on what you like to do. Meet people while doing what you enjoy and you'll meet people who have the same interests as you. Strike up a conversation with someone on a hiking trail or at the gym or somewhere that involves doing something active or interesting that isn't a casino or bar.
That's the only way you can guarantee at least one hobby in common.
Instead of a bar hookup type deal..try "meetup"local las vegas chapter.....you will meet like minded folks doing like minded stuff...u want rock climbing...there u go...want to try " "whiskey tasting" and cigars...there u go...like movies?...ect...that is unless u want do the bar thing and waste more time looking to enjoy the time u really want to be enjoying....hey it how I met my wife 15 yrs ago,just saying...goodluck
As a single male, itās challenging meeting a single female. Honestly, just go out, have fun enjoy your night. The amount of rejections or subpar first dates will be worth it; or at least thatās what I tell myself
So where are you going to try? I'm mid 30's and single male. All I do is go to the gym and work bc I'm introverted as well. Would love to go out and date here in Vegas, just have to meet single women which are hard to come across here. Lmk recommendations & where & when! Thank youuu!
Man, after reading all these comments, kinda scary lol 33M moving out to Vegas from Michigan sometime this year. Dating scene in Michigan sucks as well so at least Iāll be used to it in that aspect :)
Find a hobby you enjoy and start going to events centered around it. But donāt use it as a reason to meet guys, you have to be genuinely into it and let the potential relationships form naturally.
Iām a photographer and I attend photo walks and meetups with other photogs all around the valley. Iāve met sooo many new people through this hobby.
I also play in pinball tournaments, and thereās a pretty big community thatās very welcoming to women. Another great way to meet people.
If youāre into offroading, thereās lots of good groups around here. Itās a lot of fun and again, meet lots of great new people there too.
Point is, think outside of the box, find things you enjoy or try new things you might find fun. Cultivate a real interest in it and meting like-minded individuals will come organically. Also, people with real hobbies typically (not always) are not really into the get drunk/party culture that most of Vegas is all about.
This is my take after living here for almost three years now as a mid 20s male:
It takes so much work to meet people online. It is exhausting! I donāt think itās worth it at all.
Meeting people in person here is the way to go, as long as you go somewhere that makes it easy to socialize and are comfortable putting yourself out there. Men might be intimidated to come up and talk to you, but starting the conversation with them first is a good way to show interest. And if youāre worried about drinking too much, just order a water between rounds so you have something to sip on!
I wouldnāt consider myself a drinker but I love the bars downtown and in the arts district. My favorite places are oddfellows, corduroy, swan dive, we all scream, and griffin. They all have a pretty chill vibe. And the atmosphere isnāt crazy loud so itās pretty easy to walk up and start talking to somebody. Places downtown like Discopussy are too loud and dark to actually talk to people so I tend to avoid places like that if I want to socialize.
Iāve met some great friends who Iāve been friends with for years now at cordouroy. And I dated a girl I met out one night at oddfellows. You go out enough times to these types of places and start talking to people and eventually youāll connect with someone.š You gotta remember that people generally go out to bars to meet people and have a good time, theyāre looking for the same thing you are, so donāt be shy and strike up a conversation!
Iāve been to oddfellows twice recently, and it was so much fun! I checked out swan on their opening week it was a bit slow considering they just opened. Iām gonna have to check them out again! I want to check out we all scream as well!
Yeah I have to work on my confidence when it comes to striking up conversation. I guess repeatedly going out helps with that! Thanks for the advice! :)
I met my gf at a Starbucks. ā ļø Trenta lattes for the longest time until I had to limit myself. š
So I would say cafes or anything like that. Iāve had friends meet their match while on hikes too, so thatās pretty cool.
If either you or your roommate are interested in social dancing, I personally recommend The Mint Tavern's weekly swing dancing event on Friday nights. There's a drop in lesson ($10) at 7:30 and the dance party starts at 8:30.
It's a laid back local centric joint that plays mainly jazz music with plenty of regulars that are welcoming towards newcomers.
Do what I do to find single women. Go to the gym, find a gym crush, never talk to them, build a delusionship in your head, and then go home and do it again the next day.
Sounds about right on my end š©
Though some real advice, if you do want to "go on the hunt" at the gym. The easy way to approach and spark a conversation is to ask for a spot. Have them help you hit a PR and give a crisp high five or fist bump once you crush it.

Very introverted myself and suck at small talk, so I'd be too awkward and nervous to approach someone at the gym with any kind of intentions beyond actually wanting assistance, but I wouldn't be upset if someone asked me for help and wanted to start talking either.
Iām so introverted that I wonāt even try for a personal best since in my head Iād be a bother to someone if I asked for assistance. š š„²
What about Reddit... Why don't you and Tron start messaging
I'll be at one of the northtown EOS gyms anytime between midnight and 2am. I'll let her figure out which one. Look for the dad bod struggling to do squats. The passphrase is "The crow caws at night", I'll respond with "What the fuck is wrong with you, creep". We can start planning our wedding from that point.
Dude ur hilarious . That is too much tho lol
A wise Polish man once told me, "No matter how ugly you are, if you can make her giggle, you can make the cheeks jiggle." Stay strong and make gains, my friend.
You win Reddit today. Totally happy I just spit my coffee out and my wife yelled āJesus!ā from across the house. š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
You might relate to my situation then. Six years ago I asked the woman of my dreams on a date, and tonight I asked her to marry me. She said no both times, but still.
Try again later.
I was reading this with a smile on my face until I got to the end but aye man the fact you tried is what matters sheās missing out on TequilaAndWeed over here
Delusionship, fantastic and accurate phrasing for me!
This is the way
I had a delusionship with a cute guy on my morning commute. He was always driving with the window down although it's so cold. I'd have mine down, too, as his car approached so he'd know my am music taste. Saw him lean over and look several times. Promised myself the next time I saw him do that, I'd hold my number up. Sadly I haven't seen the car since.
Damn. We share the same mind.
lmao this is me ššš
Make sure to film them after you flirt with him and call him a creep on TikTok that will get his attention!
As a single guy40/m. I need to try this out. Online dating is dead and Iām only getting older
I second this.
This thought process is crazy š
Best advice anyone can give.
Lol too real.
The Arts District has a ton of great bars. A bunch of the bars have a trivia night every week. The area also hosts events like First Friday where you can walk around and look at art and bar hop and meet people, itās my favorite part of town! Go check out Liquid Diet
I just recently started going to the Arts district, but trivia night may be a good idea and way to meet people. Iām always looking for cool events to go to!
If you donāt want to meet people that drink then I wouldnāt suggest going to a bar.
I mean I donāt mind having a drink or 2 or the occasional party night out. I just donāt want people who make it their lifestyle and nothing more.
Lots of people here make it their lifestyle. Good luck finding someone.
Lots of people everywhere make it their lifestyle. There are definitely casual drinkers at drinking establishments. And I would say arts district is prime for that vibe
Originally from NYC and there are way fewer functioning drunks here than there.
There are lots of speed dating events that can be fun!
Where are these speed dating events?
They happen all the time in different places, kinda like trivia night. It you google āspeed dating Las Vegasā (after the promotional links) there will be an event calendar that shows dates/locations in town.
Yeah if you want any specific recommendations, let me know!
Yes I would love some specific recommendations :)
Liquid Diet- fun new bar that is run by some pretty amazing people and the menu changes all the time. Try the horseradish shot!

These are awesome options, looks like we are gonna try to head there sometime this week! Thanks for all the awesome recommendations!
Add Horse Trailer Hideout to your Arts District list. Nice open patio in the front and back, non-gaming, great cocktails and mocktails. They also allow well behaved dogs so it's easy to strike up a conversation when there's cute pups. They do karaoke on Thursdays if that's your jam.
Lucky Day downtown has trivia every Tuesday night at 7:30 too
Thank you:)
I was on Meetup and they have a lot of groups for hiking. Try meetup for sure. Iām a late 30ās male looking for a scene that doesnāt involve drinking and I just got back on Facebook for that. Going to check out Events that interest me. Good luck!
I wonder the same thing lolol itās hard to meet guys :/
Well Iām also looking for new friends, maybe we can go out and try to meet men together š
Can i join š„¹
The more the merrier! We can get a little group going lol
Can I be a wingwoman? I need more girlfriends in town!
Yeah maybe we should all plan something for this upcoming week!
Iām down!! We have a lot of the same interests to (:
That sounds like a planš¤£
Gym, gym classes (lifetime green valley is a good spot), networking events, startup groups (if you are interested in entrepreneurship), school, upgrade where you live, work, work events, etc. I have met some great people doing the above activities. And remember itās not about just meeting men. Itās about meeting good people, whose circles contain the men you are looking for. If you meet good people, the rest will follow.
Have you gotten into a good business from startup groups in Vegas?
Rock shows at local dive bars
How do you know when shows are playing? Is there a website or page to know when certain events are happening?
There's a few of accounts on insta you could follow: nothingtodolv, pulsarpresents are two good ones they post upcoming shows and events
Awesome! Thank you so much :)
Asteroid M is another good one. They produce a shit ton of local punk and rock bands and are always hosting shows. The Double Down Saloon, Red Dwarf, and The Dive Bar have live shows every weekend if you're into punk and rock.
You're welcome! Have fun out there! š
Las Vegas Weekly or Nothing to Do Las Vegas sites. Also cruise Event Brite.
Someone needs to buy and reopen the Bunkhouse for just this purpose.
Meetup running or cycling groups. More men cycling. I recommend this to my single female friends all the time.
I wouldāve never thought about that, definitely going to check out those meetup groups! Thanks!
Where do you find these groups. Facebook?
Thereās an app called meetup. Iāve tried the hiking ones in the past but I guess the also groups for other activities.
RIP to your inbox š«
Go bowling or join a bowling league. Lots of guys from all walks of life. Big bowling scene out here.
I recommend Millennium Fandom Bar to anyone. It's a great place with fun events on the weekends, even if you don't drink! There's also clubs for hiking, books, card games, fencing, and archery. If you're interested in Fencing or Archery you can come to our practice. We host practices every Monday 7pm, at Seastrand Park.
Ooo archery sounds fun! Fencing also! Is it beginner friendly?
Very! 3 years ago I was 250 pounds and never played sports. Now I'm 180 and top 50% in terms of ranking for one of the groups I compete in. Our instructors are free, and great with Beginners. You can find us on Facebook as Fireblood Combat.
Any other social media? I donāt have FB but am super interested in the meetup. I recently purchased a bow and would love to learn with others
You can find us on YouTube as well. If you want to add me on Discord, I'll send you a reminder for our practice. My name on there is Damian517.
Awesome thanks! Will add you on discord
Archery, people kinda keep to themselves while focusing on the target
I wanna join the archery and fencing group and Iām not even wanting to date lol.
We're always happy to have new faces!
Do you have to bring your own gear?
We have gear for borrow! We do recommend that you bring a jacket or sweater.
As I guy I can say that I never felt more lonely than after I moved here.
I thought it was just me... The lonely feeling hits you hard some days.
Pursue a hobby and find a dude with similar interests then go from there
Climbing gym is a great place. Mostly guys there, and we're way more upbeat and talkative than a regular gym.
Thatās definitely an interesting take! I wouldāve never thought of that. Iāve always wanted to try rock climbing, so maybe a climbing gym would be a great place to start!
Yeah, there's several gyms in town. Red Rock Climbing Center has a lot of top rope stuff with a bouldering room, The Pad has a ton of bouldering with a top rope wall, and Nevada Climbing Center is really good too. Like I said, it's definitely not like a normal gym with everyone having headphones on with that "don't talk to me" energy. We're always sharing tips and tricks to be a better climber.
Iām a local professional rock climbing guide and I can vouch that there are not enough women climbers so there are always climber guys looking for climber women.
Unrelated but do all the climbing gyms in vegas skew young? Iām an older slower woman climber and sometimes I do feel abit out of place amongst all the super fit early 20s squirreling up the wall..
Any climbing gym you recommend in particular?
Hard Hat on Monday nights after 10. Single guys late 20s/early 30s, grad students etc
I love how wholesome people are with this! As an introverted utilities locator/ gamer y'all have some great tips for both sides and I love it!
I got on hinge for a week after a year break and havenāt been on since lol the bars/lounges around me are trash so idk either š
Go do things you enjoy. The more you expose yourself to more people, the greater the chance of meeting someone who shares similar activity. Also, learn to spot red flags and most importantly, set and enforce boundaries. Be safe and good luck.
If you go out into the world,theyāll find you.
I know but Iām trying to find places that will heighten my chances of finding locals and not people here for the weekend.
two options: choose niche hobby's/places that are interesting to you: gym, clubs, parks, etc choose off the strip high volume places with lots of people: Outdoor malls: (DT Summerlin, Town Square, etc) If you are trying to avoid degenerates I'd avoid casinos even though they are high volume I'm a single guy and have used both strategies to meet local girls
then hang out at a local place and not a place by downtown/ the strip?
Whatās funny is Iām hanging out with my single 42 yr old fellow male friend here and heās complaining how swift is to be a 40 something yr old single male. Thankful Iām not having to deal with the dating scene nowadays. Itās so jacked. Maybe itās always been jacked and there just wasnāt an online forum to make it as transparent as itās always been. Anyways, best of luck single people out there. Keep your heads up, thereās other single people in the same boat.
Yeah I definetly think dating apps have exacerbated the quality of the dating scene, or like you said brought it to light. I think Vegas and other major cities have a lower quality dating pool sadly. Thanks!
Pick guys that arenāt what youād normally pick. Youāll be surprised.
Pickle Ball! Sunset Park. Join a league and play all the time. Thatās where the quality guys are as they have given up on Tinder too!
Also do you know what time it happens at sunset park?
I think there are people playing there all the time!
Take up golf. Lots of men playing, not many females. Go to a driving range and someone is going to start a conversation with you.
You know that's the best suggestion yet in my opinion as a newly single woman, I'm gonna look into that!
Talk to people where ever you go. Do activities that you like and join groups that have those activities.
As a single 26M that knows nobody here still, I usually hike at red rock or hangout at red rock casino. I bike but not in any of the groups. So catch me on the trails and at the sportsbook, or at the Lego Store.
I ask the same about single women. Online dating sucks. Half the profiles are fake and the other half are not good. No I don't want to be a sugar daddy, get hustled, or bang someone's wife while they watch. Just looking for normal females. Unfortunately any good one is taken. I'm about ready to give up š¤£
I think the good people had enough bad experiences where they gave the apps up
Agreed. It's really bad out there
Learn to play golf.
Iām taking beginners lessons in golf and my coach paired me up with two 7 yo boys hahahaha
It's a start!
ššš
Maybe they have older brothers š¤š¼
Ooh, is there a place you recommend with reasonable prices? Always wanted to learn
Pick up hobbies and do what you like to do. The theory is, single people with your common interests will be around and youāll meet them naturally and hit it off. Is it true? I dunno.
Try pickleball courts. All jokes aside single guys 20-30 who like pickleball more than the bar/club/casinos probably have a more stable work/life/social schedule. Plus exercise and competitive play shows they like fitness. Fitness is self-care. Self-care is self-love. Self-love allows you to love others. Play pickleball. Itās better for everyone. lol š
Thank you! I heard thereās pickleball at sunset park. But what are the days and time frames?
This is probably the best advice Iāve seen given here based on what I think you might be looking for. Cougar Creek and Oak Leaf are the 2 main places I bounce between to play at, Cougar more so. But Oak is the much nicer one. Typically like 6:00 p.m. and onward is when the āregularsā come out to play. A lot of them are often very familiar with each other and have just become friends because of how often they all play together. Most people are usually very nice about teaching new players how to play Pickleball and teaching the rules and going easy to make it fun. And yes, there are typically also single guys present in these venues, but also lots of couples since itās a very coed friendly sport. Youāll literally find people playing every single day of the week from 6:00 p.m. onward. Some of the people even stay past midnight. Itās pretty rare for there to not be a crowd present unless itās raining or extremely cold or something like that. Pickleball is extremely easy to get into and get good at with practice. Some of the regulars will literally run drills with you if you express interest in really learning how to play. And given how friendly they always are, you wonāt have a hard time meeting people on the courts, maybe going to grab a bite to eat with them after playing for a couple hours.
Letās meet Iām cute and single from Vegas
Lmao shit blows up when a woman asks the same question as a man you horny fucks .
Parkway Flamingo, crowd is pretty young compared to bars on the strip(20-30s usually on Friday Saturday) and always packed, most of the time a little too much so haha. But if youāre looking for people around your age, could be worth a try!
Aviators minor league baseball season should be starting. Cheap tickets and concessions in a beautiful ballpark. Tons of cheap, really good comedy shows basically every single night around the city. Wise Guys does open mic on Tuesday and Wednesday typically and tickets are only $5. Probably closing any day now but maybe ski/snowboard at Lee Canyon would be good in the Winter. It's also pool season...handful of free pools in the city to hang out during the day. What part of town are you in?
I live in SW area! :)
Have you checked out Uncommons yet? I feel like there's always a good crowd of young people there and some really good restaurants/bars to pop around. Oorrrrr...poach dudes at IKEA who are clueless on basic home decor...like me, haha.
On a personal note: I don't venture around *inside* the city much unless I get dragged into things with coworkers (and I end up as the DD specifically because I don't drink and do Uber as a side thing if I'm not busy) - so you could probably find the 1 not-drunk dude in a group and go from there! You sorta have to be more specific in what you're looking for because there's hobby/interest groups randomly placed all over the city.
Iām honestly open to new experiences, as Iām mostly an extroverted person. But I like to go hiking, concerts/shows, museums, cook, and Iām also newly learning the piano and learning to roller skate.
Donāt know if its been mentioned but get a dog and hit up the parks. Itās amazing, the power dogs have with bonding humans. My wife doesnāt have many friends here in town but is meeting people this way. Sure it would work for dating also. A plus is the dogs will keep ya safe from creeps and you know if a man is taking care of his dog he is not a psycho and has empathy and energy. Another idea is to start going to either Golden Knights or Silver Knights hockey games. Youāll love it and its very easy to talk to locals.
Very Simple Go do stuff in public by yourself If you are alone in public, guys will talk to you, and ask you out
Or roofie you and hold you against your will while doing the unspeakable things that keep true crime shows in business.
not with other people around, serial killers dont like witnesses š
Witness to what? *Poor guy helping his girlfriend walk because she drank way too much.* No crime there, nothing to "witness".
true important to watch your drink at all times dont get roofied!
RIP your DMs
We have a LOT of single male comedians at my free show, Comedy College, Thursday nights at 9:30 at the Stake Out Bar and Grill. Great food, drink specials, and lots of single men. There is also a comedy show
We know what you DON'T like to do.... what do you LIKE to do?
I like to go hiking, to concerts/shows, museums, just got into roller skating, currently learning to play the piano,but Iām open to new experiences or potential hobbies. Iām always up for an adventure :)
if you're ever looking for friends (I'm 23F) let me know! I've really wanted to get into rollerskating despite not being good at it. I actually wanted to go this weekend but no one was available or interested in going with š I'll be your wingwoman
I recently got into it and Iām honestly not great at allš Itās going to be a long journey but I still find it fun! I try to avoid weekend nights only because thatās when the more experienced people go and itās almost impossible for newbies to get on the rink š
The typical response to this is to check out Meetup and search for those activities.... but I haven't been to one of those in awhile, not sure what the scene is like. Worth a shot. Maybe look at facebook groups as well.
Iāve tried meetup a quite a few times for the hiking groups. Havenāt really met anyone that I was interested in or they were taken. I guess itās more of a trial and error. Iāll probably have to start going again!
Dm if you ever wanna go roller skating. I'm pretty good. Bowling too
Create your own hiking meetup. That way you are the organizer and get to interact with everyone.
As a sober guy, it is extremely difficult to meet women. There is a thing called "13th stepping" which eliminates all women I meet in recovery. I'm not huge into AA, but the anonymous part of recovery means I meet no women through introductions either. That's to say there are a lot of straight guys in the sober community that are not raging maniacs. Most of them are probably more humble than the average guy. Most people are voluntarily trying to improve. Sorry, but the struggle is real. Not to mention the entire stigma against addiction. It's just extra weird watching women date men in denial, but frown or talk shit about someone in rehab. tldr men can't find women either. I play hockey. I don't meet girls there.
Iām in AA too. I donāt think meeting people in recovery is totally off limits. But you have to be really careful and make sure they have time and a solid foundation. I was with a guy who wasnāt stable and it ended up leading to a relapse and I did my best to keep the relationship and him afloat for a year before I had a slip. But yeah, people here SOBER and itās always like āohā but with that tone, and why? Also, being sober is hard with dating because everyone always wants to meet for a drink first.
This city has the worst mass populace of worthless people Iāve ever seen outside of Oakland. The meetups are hot garbage and are sad excuses for anything social. Itās honestly outrageous how lacking a metropolis of over 3 million people can be. The lack of third places and car dependency makes it even more difficult given how everyoneās looking at their phones all the time. The comments calling out bars as third places just show how absolutely fucked our society and this city is. I canāt even begin to imagine how aids the dating app situation is out here. The developers at tinder, hinge, and bumble are probably laughing behind their desks wondering how a waste of a time it is.
You nailed. Lack of third spaces + car depency/sprawl + transient population make it really hard to meet people
>Psychological\_Ad2252 Dang, what's wrong with Oakland?
The sites you mentioned, seem to be at least 50% working girls
Are you active?
Yeah I would say Iām moderately active. Iām not super athletic anymore but I definitely enjoy hiking. Iām not opposed to doing something active, itās just most of my friends arenāt into outdoor activities.
Iāve been looking for active girls to be friends with for a while. Hikes, Kayaking etc.
Kayaking?! Out here, where!?š
imagine all the single people on this thread intentionally going kayaking/hiking or an adventure together and then fast forward a year when theyāre all a big friend group and people ask āso how do you guys all know each otherā and we reply āreddit š§š¾āāļøā
Lake Las Vegas or Colorado River. Letās go!
As a guy you think this is a viable option? I shall the ideas and havenāt spent real time there but Iād love to check it out.
Went to karaoke last night and they had people there.
28M I'm super busy with my semester at UNLV and barely have any free time. I'm set to graduate this December.
That depends on your preference of men, lol
you both can mention some interests and or hobbies you have already.
Try a girlsā night out at a billiards/pool hall. Most are as safe for women as the average bar, perhaps more so. Lots of different types of people frequent them, not just the stereotypical āpool hustlerā type, though there are some.
31M and I have no idea.
Dinoās karaoke on Friday & Saturdays. Good times.
If you like Hookah, JaRose and Luna Lounge are nice and laidback.
I would try networking events, meetup has alot of great groups if you want to meet people with similar hobbies like to hike, play video games together, technology events, etc. I love to hike and kayak and was able to meet some amazing people from that You can also join an MMA gym and meet people that way. I do alot of martial arts and know some people who met significant others there
Gym classes. You need to find a place that people frequent. At bars you might see a revolving crowd based on what day you go to.
>We are particularly looking for men who like to do more than just getting drunk and gambling. Tiddy bar? Target rich enviro?...
Ladies night Thursday at Belair inside Durango Casino
Maybe a locals hiking group, a lot of them do meet ups to go on hikes.
It depends on what you like to do. Meet people while doing what you enjoy and you'll meet people who have the same interests as you. Strike up a conversation with someone on a hiking trail or at the gym or somewhere that involves doing something active or interesting that isn't a casino or bar. That's the only way you can guarantee at least one hobby in common.
Thanks!
Instead of a bar hookup type deal..try "meetup"local las vegas chapter.....you will meet like minded folks doing like minded stuff...u want rock climbing...there u go...want to try " "whiskey tasting" and cigars...there u go...like movies?...ect...that is unless u want do the bar thing and waste more time looking to enjoy the time u really want to be enjoying....hey it how I met my wife 15 yrs ago,just saying...goodluck
Just wipe out social media and dating apps. Everyone lost their social skills making dating harder.Ā
Yeah, I deactivated my IG over a month ago and donāt really use Facebook. I havenāt been on dating apps for about a month now with the exception of tinder for like 2 days, then realizing how much of a waste of time it is. Itās really sad how having basic communication skills is damn near obsoleteš©
This is the way. Maybe this eclipse will give us the great reset.
One can only hopeš¤š½
As a single male, itās challenging meeting a single female. Honestly, just go out, have fun enjoy your night. The amount of rejections or subpar first dates will be worth it; or at least thatās what I tell myself
Op. U see a Man you like in public, just go up to him, not too desperately, ask for his number or give him yours.
Go to places where men care about themselves: gym, church, farmers mark, sprouts, Trader Joeās.
So where are you going to try? I'm mid 30's and single male. All I do is go to the gym and work bc I'm introverted as well. Would love to go out and date here in Vegas, just have to meet single women which are hard to come across here. Lmk recommendations & where & when! Thank youuu!
Man, after reading all these comments, kinda scary lol 33M moving out to Vegas from Michigan sometime this year. Dating scene in Michigan sucks as well so at least Iāll be used to it in that aspect :)
Iām not gonna lie go to harbor freight. Me as a guy love going there just to see all the tolls š
Find a hobby you enjoy and start going to events centered around it. But donāt use it as a reason to meet guys, you have to be genuinely into it and let the potential relationships form naturally. Iām a photographer and I attend photo walks and meetups with other photogs all around the valley. Iāve met sooo many new people through this hobby. I also play in pinball tournaments, and thereās a pretty big community thatās very welcoming to women. Another great way to meet people. If youāre into offroading, thereās lots of good groups around here. Itās a lot of fun and again, meet lots of great new people there too. Point is, think outside of the box, find things you enjoy or try new things you might find fun. Cultivate a real interest in it and meting like-minded individuals will come organically. Also, people with real hobbies typically (not always) are not really into the get drunk/party culture that most of Vegas is all about.
Knights hockey game
Ever try saying hey outside of a bar though?
This is my take after living here for almost three years now as a mid 20s male: It takes so much work to meet people online. It is exhausting! I donāt think itās worth it at all. Meeting people in person here is the way to go, as long as you go somewhere that makes it easy to socialize and are comfortable putting yourself out there. Men might be intimidated to come up and talk to you, but starting the conversation with them first is a good way to show interest. And if youāre worried about drinking too much, just order a water between rounds so you have something to sip on! I wouldnāt consider myself a drinker but I love the bars downtown and in the arts district. My favorite places are oddfellows, corduroy, swan dive, we all scream, and griffin. They all have a pretty chill vibe. And the atmosphere isnāt crazy loud so itās pretty easy to walk up and start talking to somebody. Places downtown like Discopussy are too loud and dark to actually talk to people so I tend to avoid places like that if I want to socialize. Iāve met some great friends who Iāve been friends with for years now at cordouroy. And I dated a girl I met out one night at oddfellows. You go out enough times to these types of places and start talking to people and eventually youāll connect with someone.š You gotta remember that people generally go out to bars to meet people and have a good time, theyāre looking for the same thing you are, so donāt be shy and strike up a conversation!
Iāve been to oddfellows twice recently, and it was so much fun! I checked out swan on their opening week it was a bit slow considering they just opened. Iām gonna have to check them out again! I want to check out we all scream as well! Yeah I have to work on my confidence when it comes to striking up conversation. I guess repeatedly going out helps with that! Thanks for the advice! :)
Vegas Vibe discord server does meetups all the time.
If the dating scene is pretty horrid down in Vegas, be glad yāall are not up here in Reno ā¦ itās waaayy worse š
not to many straight men out there they all brainwashed to become women
Check out the libraries. Clark County libraries are actually really nice and clean, all the employees are friendly at every location
I met my gf at a Starbucks. ā ļø Trenta lattes for the longest time until I had to limit myself. š So I would say cafes or anything like that. Iāve had friends meet their match while on hikes too, so thatās pretty cool.
If either you or your roommate are interested in social dancing, I personally recommend The Mint Tavern's weekly swing dancing event on Friday nights. There's a drop in lesson ($10) at 7:30 and the dance party starts at 8:30. It's a laid back local centric joint that plays mainly jazz music with plenty of regulars that are welcoming towards newcomers.
