A couple of days ago a reader e-mailed me, asking me to list some places where a single woman in her late 40s could go to meet available men. I wasn’t sure, so I turned the question over to my readership, and got the response below, which seems to be really good.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not in my 40s yet, but I\u2019d recommend the First
Wednesdays at the Brooks and the Third Thursdays at
the Dixon. They tend to attract a slightly older,
often single crowd. And volunteering is a nice way to
meet people of any age. Why not sign up for some
Hands on Memphis activities? Or take some continuing
education classes or social dance classes or join a
gym? I think the library has a book club. Get active
in local politics? And there\u2019s always internet
dating. Who knows? I\u2019ve heard church is a good place
to meet people, if you\u2019re so inclined. Several local
churches have singles ministries, but I doubt this is
the sort of advice this woman turned to you for.
Where do slightly older singles go to party down?<\/p>\nI enjoy being helpful, so I did a little web search.
The following was recommended for \u201colder\u201d singles in
Memphis. Notice the East Memphis bias:<\/p>\n\u2022 Ruth\u2019s Chris for Wed. happy hour or Salsa right
across the parking lot
\u2022 Fleming Steakhouse’s wine bar, also right across the
street, also on Poplar
\u2022 Yia Yia’s in Germantown on a Tuesday or Wed
afternoon\/early night
\u2022 Chinese restaurant and piano bar at the Park Place
Mall at the corner of Park and Ridgeway
\u2022 The Grove Grill’s bar area for happy hour
\u2022 Cockeyed Camel, 6000 block of Primacy Parkway
\u2022 Bonefish Grill for happy hour<\/p>\nAs for downtown bars, Stella, LoLo\u2019s Table, The Corner
Bar at the Peabody, or Grill 83 might work well. <\/p><\/blockquote>\nThanks for responding. Anyone else have comments? Shoot me an e-mail if you do. To the reader who asked, hope this list gets you started.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
