Dating in your 20s
26F looking to date, but really unsure where to find people. I’m always out, but probably not in the right places.
I am not really a drinker and would much rather be active. I’ve been to run clubs, but ones I’ve been to seen very frat like and it’s not really my vibe.
I’d like a man who’s conservative with more traditional values, but a more country guy sense who’s also active in bettering their health and life as I am as well.

Maybe try a country bar. You can go to just dance and don't have to drink. Country boys tend to like a drink though.

I do go, but typically the guys who do go are already flirting w a lot of girls (ratio is way more girls to guys) or they’re drinking a lot plus it’s late at night

Yeah I guess so. The "country" bars around here aren't really all that country anyways. I drive up north for country bars.

Go to a crossfit gym and figure out who is listening to country or just looked for a jacked dude at church who drives a truck with a "toolbox" across the back. Those are absolutely the two best places you can go look without at harbor freight or farm and fleet.

https://redballsocial.leagueapps.com/ Social sport club for 21+ Kickball and many other sports you can join. Looks like great fun

This really is the answer.
Played in my late 20s & early 30s. Made more friends and girlfriends than I can remember.

I'm 30M and don't always see other young folks in bars these days!
I guess at 26 you're starting to feel aged out of the college crowd-type places on 2nd Street.

Is it straight men? I am a straight female

No that place is definitely not straight too many people on here think that they're funny.

Same issue I run into as well always end up at the crowded places but always feel like I got there late or something because everyone's already talking to each other. I like American Social because it's so busy there's a lot of different people there it's just trying to find the right person to talk to him as a challenge

The constant stream of unhelpful suggestions ((a gay club? Really? 🙄) and “Flanigan’s” in this sub is beyond tired.
Anyway, if you’re looking for somewhere active, how about the gym? A lot of gyms do fitness events in the area as well. Unfortunately, I’m not too familiar with where the country boys hang out, but you will find plenty of people who limit drinking and take health seriously in a gym

People go to the Gym to work out, not be hunted for potential dates.
There's tons of social stuff OP can do that's also active - like doing a paddleboard or SUP group ride from Mayapapaya that's active, but not gym focused.
