Hey, I’m no relationship guru (I write about tech, for goodness’ sake). So when my single friends ask me about the best places to meet men in San Francisco, I draw a blank. As much as I’d like to help them meet a Silicon Valley man—which is what they’re really after—I can’t, because I don’t know many single men or where they hang out.I’m married, and my friends know that. But I guess deep down they hope I can introduce them to a few smart guys, because you know, I’m in the “tech field.” If I didn’t know better, I’d tell them to just go online, since that’s where the tech guys are. But a Cosmopolitan article says the best place to meet smart guys is at the Apple store.
Yes, the Apple store! Who would’ve thought?
Those so-called experts in sex, love, and dating advice say most guys are natural gadget lovers, and the vibe at the Apple store is “conducive to man meeting.” The article goes on to suggest single women should enroll in a free workshop, check their email while at the store, or just stop by to survey the store’s “good-looking merchandise.” I guess that puts male “Geniuses” at an advantage.
Another place to meet smart guys? A Fortune 500 or tech company. Apparently, 75% of the technology and banking workforce are men, so I guess single women’s chances improve when they work at one of these places. Cosmo also says that according to a survey by Vault.com, 22% of people met their spouses or significant others on the job. And while you’re at it, Cosmo also suggests you join the Super Bowl pool after you land the job at one of these companies, because you know, that’s what guys do.
Ah, now I remember why I stopped reading Cosmo 10 years ago.
