preferably ones with really good jobs. I'm not a golddigger, but if I'm going to date someone seriously, he'd better have a good stable job.

i put this here, because i figured i'd get more responses. plus if you're a married woman, you'll know because of meeting your own husband.

In the spring/summer when it's warmer, there are outside cafes/bars in the downtown area off of Texas Avenue where alot of 30-40 yr lawyers tend to congregate.
Also, I've met older,nice men at the better steak houses such as Capital Grill and Pappas Steak House in the bar area while waiting on my table.
Midtown is hot right now with the restaurants / bars with older men off West Gray.

All the men I've met at the above places have good jobs and are educated/hard working/ambitious and most men who work that hard usually hit the restaurants early after work.
Good luck!

The military.
My significant other is retired Navy, works full time (so do I) and we have a happy life together. He's widowed and I'm divorced and the two children are his. We work together at this relationship and we are doing fine...we have been together for over 2 years now and plan on staying together.
We actually "met" on the internet, chatted online for a few months and finally met in person. We dated casually for a while and things just grew from there. We now live together.
He's in his 40s, I'm in my late 30s.

Listen to Cyran.. Really true. Met my husband with personal advertising before it was even popular.. he was a great guy, bright, funny, witty, intelligent, with a great job. We had a ball. When I was alone again, met the man I am with now using Yahoo Personals. The computer matched us up.... again, bright, educated, lovely man. Now between the time I was alone, and the time this man and I met, for sure I met one nut case (and orthopedic surgeon--- but just nuts) and several men I might have like to see again, and they were not interested, and some wanted to see me, and I was not interested. Dating someone at work is a no-no, as well, I'm not a church person, I go to the gym to work out, not scan the available guys, and I don't wish to date someone with kids left to raise, some nut case religious person, nor someone whose politics is different than mine. That's all there before you waste any time, (and they waste theirs). And for $20/mo???? It's like you can write out a shopping list of what you are looking for.......(and they can as well) Just use good sense.....
Such a deal.

Everywhere.... everybody has a brother, cousin, son, co-worker,friend, friend of a friend.... what you have to do is get out there and meet people.... somebody know someone.... remember people will want you to meet their friend if they really like you.... so be the best friend you can be... somebody is watching.... we all have friends we want to fix up with someone.... but... that person has to be great.....or we will never live it down....

Seriously? The internet. That's the only place I date any more (and no, I'm not old, pathetic, fat or need, lol). I don't go to bars and I'm an athiest so church is out...don't want to date a guy from work because that's way too complicated. So, the net is the last option.
There are fun places to go (websites and chats) but you have to beware. Don't use your real name. Get a phone number and talk to the person a few times. Ask other people on the site about them. Get a picture before you meet and meet in a public place. Set up a "safe call" for the first few dates (where you call a friend at a specif time so someone is expecting a call and know that you are safe).
I have met a couple men that I have been in LTR's with (and some losers as well) and the ratio seems about the same as women who meet their dates in "real life" first.

i've found that most of them are at sports bars, sport games, auto car shows, gyms (although those get a bit too meat marketish), grocery stores (especially later in the evening/night), sushi restaurants with their brothas, and at delis on the weekends.

What do the men you are looking for like? Find out and then go where that type of man hangs out. Is he into fitness? Then go to a gym and get involved. You can show yourself to best advantage and conversations are easy to strike up. Make a list and start.
