So the oft repeated axiom is that dating is all about the numbers. As in, you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince. But where do you find these frogs, err would-be princes? According to most dating/relationship gurus, you have to focus on Target Rich Environments (TREs). Here’s a list of 20 places men are rumored to frequent (not necessarily in this order).

1. Church or temple
2. Major Sporting events: baseball,basketball, hockey
3. Local sporting events: soccer, lacrosse games
4. Sports bars
5. Sporting goods stores
