It's evident that many of you believe there are no good-looking, intelligent, classy people in Macon.
I would beg to differ because most likely the people lamenting this problem are good-looking, intelligent and classy themselves (otherwise, they really need to lower their standards). Plus, I have a number of very normal single friends who, yes, live in Macon with the very same dilemma.
So the issue isn't that there is a lack of respectable singles but a lack of ways for singles to find each other. Here's what I see as the main problem that plagues anyone in any city trying to find a date:
As humans, we are creatures of habit. We go to the same places and hang out with the same people. If we are never introduced to new places or new people, we will never meet anyone new. This is fine if you enjoy dating your friends, but not so great if you want to expand out of your circle. Such a situation is why vacationers and newcomers often find dates: they don't know anyone to start with, so each person they meet is a new opportunity.
But the same question still exists: Where do you go to find all these people?
That depends on what you're looking for. Think of what you enjoy doing or would maybe like to try. Then actually go do it! If you like biking, join a cycling group. You could also volunteer some time with an organization like Volunteer Macon or join a civic organization like the Kiwanis Club or Rotary Club. If you're too shy to do something new alone, invite a friend. Just remember to meet other people, too.
You may meet your next significant other at any of these events. Or you may not, but you could meet your next SO's best friend, sister or even grandmother. Make new friends and make friends with their friends.
I don't promise this will be easy, but if you're doing something you enjoy, it should be fun. If you never venture out of your comfort zone, you may never meet that special someone.
Why do you think it's hard for people to leave their comfort zone? Have you ever attempted what is described above? What happened?

haha, thanks for revisiting the issue, I was afraid it got off topic yesterday as well. my comment regarding lack of women was not meant as a fact or even my belief, that's why I said it "seemed" attractive, intelligent, and classy women are not out there. In fact, I know they are but Macon does not really offer any good spots to meet. at least for those past college and going out all night... thanks for the suggestions though, it is easy to get stuck in a rut once you start working.
Exactly. The problem with that ex friend of mine is that he doesn't know how to make friends. He doesn't have women friends, he just flirts with them or has something romantic with them. So the problem is himself. Not people. :)
These "anonymous' comments sound like they are coming from "inhouse' ??!!
Uh? Inhouse?
