I don't get where I'm supposed to meet people

Hmmm..all this time I assumed those walking dogs were either in a relationship, using the dog to avoid meeting others (i.e. intimidating them from interacting), or were maladjusted, using the dog as a surrogate for love....

looking too deeply into it i think...

think about it. if you liked dogs and you had one and it needed excercise. is there any ulterior motive to walking it?
some people grow up with dogs in the family and get one of their own later down the road when they're on their own.
so not exactly a surrogate for love, but maybe for company to keep loneliness away or just out of habit from upbringing, or even maybe they're just a dog enthusiast haha.

now if they were walking a snow leopard down the street you might have legitimate reason to believe they're trying to intimidate you

Well in general I don't like to get too close to dogs for two reasons (although I had them as a kid) #1: if they jump on you you get your clothes dirty (whereas when petting cats that is still a "clean" encounter plus it can show a man's sensuality where as dogs are a gruff, rough mindset, not suave). #2: I was attacked by a dog and pushed 30 feet over a wall, suffering a broken vertebrae, so I see dogs as a boundary extension to their owner whose boundaries are too "threatened" hence the dogs will attack when they perceive their owners boundaries are threatened and will attack inappropriately, possibly interfering with their owners true intentions. And as an added bonus to why I would not interact with a female dog owner: inside me there is NO WAY I'd feel sexual attraction to a lady carrying a big brute of a dog because that's just too masculine a behavior on her part to be in charge of that thing. I want a woman not a surrogate man-wannabe - her persona is shouting "I'm a mechanic, I build houses".

EDIT: redundant post deleted.

OUCH.

lol guess im SOL then.


damn my masculine, interesting and occasionally even enjoyable career choice

Dogs are great ways to start talking to people, especialy if you knows a little about them. Most owners like if you compliment their dog (or any pet for that matter. ^^), and learning dog bodylanguage will help you stay out of the way if they're not safe.

And they are a good reason to take a walk with people you like.

There are few people who talks to strangers as often as dogowners. ^^ It helps to have a rare dog.

i have the same problem, i dont work so i pretty much have all this time on my hands with an enormous social disorder. i know for a fact i wont innitiaze any kind of meetup exept this weekend because i become discouraged easily. plus im really all not that keen up on meeting someone offline, people tend to be the biggest liars online and when you do meet them there nothing like who they said they were online. so your boat now has two

Sounds like the perfect candidate to volunteer for a charity! If you're a guy, sooo many girls like animals so I'd suggest the humane society

thank you for your reply but the humane sociaty stinks litterly. and i hate dogs. i guess i also forgot to mention im probBLY the pickiest person ever due to lack of experiance, shyness and asperger. im a situation snob of sorts, and i feel increadibly dirty if it doesnt follow a process

reguardless volunteering is a good idea. since im basically a 90 year old man inside i think hospice or a nursing home would be worth my time looking into

If you are kind to elderly people, they will want their granddaughters to meet you. So there's that.

I'd say, just do what you love, and they will come to you. If you don't have many (any) hobbies or interests, just keep trying new things until you find something. Even if you don't find a new romantic partner, you might make a few friends along the way that could open up some doors to finding a partner.

From my personal experience: Looking for relationships in bars is a waste of time, that's if your looking for a lasting relationship anyways.

I volunteered at the food pantry, the only attractive person there was a prisoner, I think I found a new fetish

All right George Costanza, settle down!
