How to Meet the Right One
As you probably well know, man hunting can be an enjoyable but sometimes challenging enterprise. That’s why, if you want to find guys, you have to go where tons of them gather. Cosmo scouted out the top locations men can be found these days — whether you’re looking for a fun fling or a long-term relationship.
Hot spot: The Apple store
The draw: Most guys are natural gadget lovers, and with sales of iPods and MacBooks skyrocketing, more men than ever are stopping by Apple boutiques. The vibe at the stores is conducive to man meeting too: You can check your email among cuties, take a free workshop on anything from Photoshop to podcasting (a great opportunity to strike up a conversation), or just survey the, ahem, good-looking merchandise.
Find it near you: There are 142 Apple stores in 31 states. Check out apple.com/retail.
Hot spot: The weight room in the gym
The draw: According to many gyms, the majority of people pumping iron are men. If you prefer a cardio fix, some classes are seeing an increase in male participants:
•Town Sports International, which has 141 outposts in the Northeast, says Spinning has the most men of any group class.
•Male Crunch members (there are clubs throughout the country) get their hearts racing in martial-arts classes, such as boxing, capoeira, and jujitsu.
•At Gold’s Gym, with more than 600 facilities in 43 states, body-pump and boot-camp classes are attracting a rising number of men.
Hot spot: A Fortune 500 or tech company
The draw: How’s this for a fab job perk? Twenty-two percent of people met their spouses or long-term significant others on the job, according to a survey by Vault.com. But all careers are not created equal, guy-wise. If you’re searching for a new position, consider working for either a Fortune 500 company (75 percent of incoming full-time associates at top banks, many of which are in the Fortune 500, are guys) or a tech company (men make up 75 percent of the technology workforce, according to the National Science Foundation). Hint: Once you’re in, join the office Super Bowl pool.
