Finding groups/clubs in San Diego, CA for meeting women my age. Best answer on the web

  • Hi,
    I'm a 34 year old male, relatively new to San Diego CA, and I'd like to get a really good list of those possible San Diego clubs, groups and organizations that I could join which would be the most helpful in meeting single women around my age or a few years younger.
    I would especially be interested in any ones related to dogs, perhaps volunteer opportunities in that area. I'm not as interested in organizations focused on playing sports.
    An example organization that I found is called the Athletic Singles Org. (http://www.athleticsingles.com). Though I'm not very interested in playing organized sports, this club does seem to be largly focused on singles meeting other singles, so I'd consider joining it and participating in activities.
    Any insight you can give me on the costs of joining these clubs would be appreciated too. For example, the Athletic Singles org. I mentioned above doesn't say how much it costs to join, but I suspect it might be pretty high, as they give away a nice gift if you come to their potential memebership meeting.
    Thanks for any help you can give me!


  • Hello, thesandiegoguy-ga!

    Here are some groups that look interesting. The "Single Volunteers of San Diego" sounds like a great organization and you could fit your love of dogs right in there by organizing your own group volunteer activity.

    SINGLE VOLUNTEERS OF SAN DIEGO
    ==============================
    http://singlevolunteerssandiego.org/

    "Single Volunteers was envisioned as an alternative to bars, personal ads, blind dates and dating services for singles to meet while performing worthwhile and productive services in the community. Volunteers are notified by e-mail about project opportunities, and teams of volunteers are assembled on a per-project basis. Individual team size is usually determined by the scope of the project. At the completion of any given project, a friendly social gathering is usually held at some unfortunate nearby pizza parlor or like establishment, where stories and introductions are passed around."
    "Everyone is looking for quality in a partner. People who freely give of their time and energy to help others are generally some of the most quality people around!"
    "Projects cover a full range of activities and there are activities for everyone. Examples of some projects are helping plant trees, beach clean-ups, repairing low income housing, graffiti clean-ups, passing out food during the holidays and so much more. There will be a project that you feel comfortable with where your talents are needed!"
    * (Note the mention of "Animals" under the project event leader coordinator needs)

    There are several singles religious groups if you are affiliated with a particular religion. If you would like, I can try to find one if you have a particular faith.
    Have fun in San Diego and good luck finding a special woman!!

    San Diego singles groups


  • One method that I don't believe others mentioned is trying an online dating service. Contrary to popular belief, these sites aren't filled with desparate folks who simply can't find a date anywhere else. Instead, you will find a wealth of personalities, and some really wonderful people. Plus, most sites have there members divided into Casual Dating, Romance and Intimate. So, whether you are looking for a friend or serious relationship, you should be able to find someone quite easily in the San Diego Area. Check out http://www.local-singles.us/dating.html. Gives an overview of some of the larger dating sites available.


  • One final thought - similar to the above post, another non-singles group that will nonetheless allow you to meet many professional women without the meat-market feel is www.aroundtownsandiego.org


  • Another Group to consider is Adventures in San Diego (www.SDfun.org). Although it's not a "singles" group, most of their members are single. They have a wide variety of events - both sports and non-sports. They do have "pet-friendly" events.


  • Thanks! That helps a lot. Gets me started in new directions.
