Well, hello Christina...

That's funny. I was hoping to meet women at our Mac User Group, but they're all my Mom's age. I guess I should drive to Charlotte and hang out at the Apple Store.

Galley: Yeah, it does suck that MUGs really aren't being utilized much anymore. It's like the popular idea that the ipod users are anti-social is true even so for ibook users :(

Guess I'm out of luck no Apple store near here. BTW in this town If there was such a store and I went there looking for guys one of two things would happen 1. most of the people working there would be women 2. most of the guys working there wouldn't be interested in women. So either way I'm out of luck there. Besides the only thing I visit a Apple store for is to buy hardware and software and I already know what I want and how to hook it up.
LOL

It's also an interesting place for guys to meet...guys. After a recent visit to the local Apple store I was hit up online by someone who said they had seen me there. Exchange of photos resulted, and well...if there is any more to this story it is left to your sordid imaginations.

Totally agree. NYC Apple Stores are a universal pickup place. Lots and lots of furtive glances between every imaginable combination of male and female adults. Plus Apple employs geeky hotties so there's always someone to ask a question you already know the answer to;)

Yeah you can meet guys there but that's no good for us guys. What I've noticed is that the most attractive girls all go to the Apple Store too. They always go to the iPods. The best thing to do is answer their questions when they're talking amongst themselves. That'll get you a girl in no time.

Well how about an online TUAW dating service (iDate perhaps)? Just make sure you write a script to allow only people running OS X to get in... ;)

Sure, ladies, if you're looking for single guys, you can also check out the local chess club, the debate team, or anywhere else you can find a bunch of geeks.

I don't see why someone would hang out there. They don't even have stuff to drink, nor places to sit and chat convivially, etc.

That's why you'll have to invite her back to your place :)
jess said 12:03AM on 3-02-2008
as one of the very few female employees of the Apple Store I can attest to the amazing guys working and frequently visiting the Apple Stores... its a wealth of amazing, quasi-nerdy guys - and for some reason, many of them are SINGLE!? go figure.
take advantage ladies... we attract 'em like moths to the flame!

Great! Now we are going to get even more girls coming to the Apple Store to play with Photo Booth here in San Antonio. I kid, I kid... sorta. Actually it's funny that this article gets published since I just started working there last week.
