10 Dumbest places to meet the love of your life

There's an old song that goes "Looking for love in all the wrong places." These are those places.

If you're single and ready to mingle, it's important to know where you can meet other people who are similarly single and ready to mingle. For example, there's the bar scene, the nightclub dance floor, or the sleepwear section at Wal-Mart. Of course, there are places it's not so good to meet the love of your life. After all, you may have to recount this story at your wedding with your parents, your true love's parents, and your 98-year-old grandmother looking on. With that in mind, we've got the 10 places you really don't want to meet someone you may end up shackling yourself to for the rest of your life.

The restroom

There are good places to meet someone and bad places to meet someone, and the toilet is at the top of the list of places that are not good for starting off a relationship. Whether you invaded the men's room because the line to the women's room was too long or you found yourself in one of those modern unisex restrooms, neither is a good place to meet the partner of your dreams. Do you really want that important event to happen within six feet of a toilet? We think not.

 

Prison

Oddly, some people find themselves falling in love with someone who is in jail, in prison, or on death row. For some reason, women seem more prone to this behavior than men. Either way, courting through bulletproof glass isn't the best way to find intimacy. Sure, your beloved inmate may swear up and down to the judge and you that they're innocent, but it's hard to say for sure when their 15-year stretch says otherwise. Besides, conjugal visits sometimes take place in trailers, and who knows if the sheets have been cleaned since the last Bonnie and Clyde did the dirty there.

A nerd conference

Nerds seek out other nerds for nerd dating, but this is a mistake all too often. Think about it. She's Sailor Moon. You're Darth Vader. Can't we all just get along? No, we cannot. Whether it's Comic-Con or a furry con, where people dressed up in mascot suits pretend to be animals and rub their faux fur against one another, this sort of geekitude is too weird of a foundation. Are you going to trust this person to someday pay your mortgage when currently he or she is dressed up as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle? These are things to consider before you elope at the con and realize your darling nerd is really a total dork.

Where you work

Why, yes, the new secretary is attractive, or, let's suppose, your boss is a handsome devil. Our woodland friends know it's not a good idea to relieve yourself where you feed yourself. So, too, should you never get frisky with someone who occupies a cubicle near you. It's very tempting, what with their proximity, and it may go along swimmingly for a while. Then things turn south, and you have to look at the angry face of the one you dumped every day for the rest of your career. There is no worse fate.

Dive bar

It's one thing to score at an upscale bar. It's another thing to find a hookup at your local rat-infested watering hole. Here's how you can tell if you've picked the wrong pub: the bartender is missing more than one tooth, the toilet looks like the bathroom in "Trainspotting," they only serve beer by the can. In this sort of environment, it's entirely possible that you'll end up with more than a sexual partner, and it may have legs and be crawling across your privates the next morning.

Craigslist

With dating sites catering to every possible type of person looking for love — whether you're Jewish, a genius, or disabled — there's no reason for anyone to be trolling Craigslist personals for romantic couplings. Ever since Craigslist shut down their, er, erotic services section, their personals have been swamped with escorts and johns looking to pay-to-play and using code words to do it. The only thing worse than a bad date is a date with an escort you didn't realize you were hiring.

Kentucky

According to The Daily Beast, the worst U.S. city for singles is Lexington, Kentucky. The city scored a failing grade in number of singles, social life, emotional health, and marriage. Lexington did score an A+ in one category: divorce. So, if you're looking to get hitched and ditched, you'll find plenty of company in misery in good ol' Kentucky.

Your shrink's waiting room

Remember how Tony Soprano met Gloria Trillo (played by Annabella Sciorra) in the waiting room of his shrink's office on "The Sopranos"? Tony's shrink, Dr. Melfi, accidentally double booked the hour, and Tony ended up giving Gloria his session. After that, the two had an affair. There was a reason Gloria was a patient of Melfi's, it turned out. Gloria ends up tossing a steak at Tony, getting all "Fatal Attraction" with Carmela, and, in the end, kills herself. The best way to avoid this sort of disaster from happening is to read the old magazines on the table and not look at or speak to anyone else until you are safely in your therapist's office.

Facebook

Who knows whom anyone is these days? That attractive woman in India who sent you a friend request yesterday and hasn't stopped poking you since is actually a Nigerian scam artist who needs you to send him $3,000 immediately in order for him to send you your lottery winnings. Social media is good for creating online bonds with people you know already or people they know, but beware the spam bot who is trying to get in your pants. The viruses from those sorts of relationships are hard to shake.

Right there

How can you meet someone if you're sitting online reading this? Go out into the world — to the park, to a concert, to the gym — and start talking to a member of the gender that attracts you. You'll be telling your "How We Met" story to your bored friends in no time.
