Last week I talked about my Holiday Dating Challenge, in which I asked the single ladies to ask out 10 men by Jan 1st. In less than a week, I’ve received 1,000s of entries with one question dominating the discussion: “Where do I find 10 men to ask out, Paul?” Relax, I’ve got you.

While I am not a believer in one ultimate Mecca for single men, I do know there are better places to meet men than others. As a professional matchmaker, I spend a significant amount of my time headhunting men for female clients. The following list represents the 10 places my team and I will be using this holiday season to meet new men. Ladies, you better take notes.
