Bars, Ceramics & Kettlebell Exercises

By Dutch Kiesecker


Whenever I go out for the weekend, I will happen to see many single people getting out on the town at their local ball. They want to look great, with some hope, they can meet the perfect person they desire. However, in reality dressing nice and drinking lost of alcohol won't really help you find the right girl. So sometimes I would go to some people and ask why they have not considered going to the gym. They consider it for a bit and then I suggest the perfect way to meet the right guy or girl is by starting some kettlebell exercises or undertaking an arts and crafts class?

Imagine, for a moment, what it's like for a single person walking into a bar full of strangers. You don't know what you have in common with them - if you have a single thing in common to begin with, that is. It could be a scary experience and at the end of the night, you haven't met anyone with long term potential or you spent all night nursing your drink in isolation in the spot. You should have taken up ceramics or kettlebell training as an alternative.

When I offer these examples, I'm pulling them from off the top of my head. The reality is that, whether it's the kettlebell workout or a spinning class, the smoothie bar at the gym is still better than the local bar for meeting someone. Try to imagine not having to get all dressed up, but instead slipping into your gym gear and doing something that could be good for you and for your dating life. While it can be anyone's biggest fear that they're going to get hit on when they're trying to pump some iron or get in their cardio, if a person is open to it they could meet someone who shares their interests. Especially if you're taking a class at the gym, you're meeting a bunch of people who are interested in the same sort of things that you are. Plus, you don't have to worry that your prospective date is going to be a lazy couch potato because they're living the same active sort of life that you are.

If a step aerobics class or the kettlebell workout isn't for you, choose a class that really interests you. If you like to consider yourself an artist, pick up a drawing or ceramics class. Maybe the live model in class will strike your fancy or you can just meet a fellow enthusiast of the arts. (Picture the two of you reenacting that scene with Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze in Ghost.) If you're curious in cooking (or can't cook for your life) look for a prospective date in a cooking class and bond over your love (or hatred) of a culinary arts.

Remember that chances are that you aren't going to meet the person you're going to commit to in a dimly lit bar. Instead of being encircled by the smells of a brewery floor and too much perfume, imagine being overwhelmed by the aromas of something tasty at a cooking class. Instead of meeting someone whose judgment is damaged by one drink too many, meet someone to share your endorphin high after great workout. After all, if you're interested in cooking, art, or kettlebell training - isn't it perfect to find someone who shares that hobby?
