Single Men: EXPOSED!

Just where do you find those single guys!

It got your attention, right? Ladies, this week I will share some insider tips on single men in our area. Where do they live? What events and activities are they likely to enjoy? Sorry single guys, I'm blowing your cover.

Finally, what do those single men do for fun? They wash their cars! Check out the man-woman ratio on a busy, sunny weekend. Really, you will be very surprised. Ask that cute guy for help with the wax. Guys do hang out at bars, but we all know this isn't the best way to find a "keeper." Sports? Any event: football, soccer, hockey the guys will come. You should go too!
