"Hanging Out" with a group of women limits your ability to meet men and may be the number 1 reason you do not meet more men when you go out. Now if you want to have a girls night out, by all means do so, and enjoy the company of your sisters. But you should limit the number of women you hang out with in one setting when you purposely want to meet more men. The number one reason for this is that men will be less inclined to approach you if you're with a larger group. Men have a fear of being rejected, and it's even worse to be rejected in front of several women. Try to hang out with one woman at best when you're "man hunting," and even if you do hang out with one woman, don't stay glued to her all night. Just plan on connecting at a pre-arranged time but MINGLE ALONE. You will be much more approachable to men if you are by yourself. If you are out to meet men with a bunch of women, free yourself from the pack, be confident and go mingle alone. Give this strategy a try, and I think you'll see that it increases the number of men you meet while you're out.
Additionally, maybe you have a girlfriend who you've come to know, and you realize that she is a little "different" or strange. Please spend quality time with her in your girls' one-on-one time, like when you're going to the mall. Odd women really turn men off, and everyone else for that matter. They dress bad when they hang out, they diss a man every time he opens his mouth, or they sit at a table and play games on their phone the whole time you're out. These women are challenged interpersonally, and they need to work on their social skills before they're ready to hang out and meet guys with you.
Let's say you're looking to meet men and you have a girlfriend who is a cockblocker. You know, this is the type of woman who says something negative about every guy who wants to talk to you. Be sure to separate yourself from her so guys stand a chance of talking to you. Sometimes a girlfriend can simply be too clingy. When I go out, I like to meet men. My book is called, Why I Love Men. So, clingy girlfriends don't give me a chance to mingle, flirt and enjoy male companionship. So, mingle alone and meet up with your girlfriends at pre-arranged timeframes and notice how many more men you meet!

This is excellent advice that I know to be true being a single lady in Atlanta. I would also like to add that women can also be more approachable when they knock the chip off the shoulder. Men do not have time to break down so many walls when trying to get to know you. Men love a challenge, yes, but they also hate fighting walls that are built by previous relationships that went bad.
