hi there all, I am new to Basel and am wondering where the single social scene is better...Basel or Zurich...and any tips on where to hang out to meet the same...thanks

For some reason I really want to reply "IN MY PANTS".

But... no. Its not. I have no idea where it is, in fact. Hi anyway!

Hi and welcome to the EF

I think in Zürich there s a lot of things going on (a lot of parties,discos..), because Zürich is a big city.

Thanks..i am in early 40s...is this still the case?. I dont thing that clubs are my scene...but an option...

Hey whats with the age thing?? just go out and enjoy life, doesnt matter what age you are Life is for LIVING

anyway you can meet a lot of people (young und old)in this forum. you can just write what are your interests, and I think you will find a lot of friends that have the same interest.

God look

sorry,I mean GOOD LUCK

If you're male, there's no limit no? If you're a female you might look a little old in a Bar

Don't know about Basel but keep an eye out on the social and commercial calendar, there's always good events and get togethers happening on here.

That's a little unfair, don't you think ? There are bars to suit all types...

Bars are always a little difficult aren't they. A woman alone in a bar is labelled desperate, a man alone in a bar is either fishing or sad but these are stereotypes, I think it really depends on your attitude.
I don't know much about the singles scene in Basel and Zürich but if Bern is not too far for you, there are a few of us who regularily meet up here for a night out. We usually just go out for a laugh and 2 I know have stopped coming because the evenings worked so well, they got together, which was nice. We're all mid thirties to mid forties, so age isn't a problem.
You could try to join a sports club or a class of some sort which could be a way of meeting other singles too.

Thanks thats a good idea...as sitting in a bar on your own is sending very wrong signals....
will check out distance to Bern,
thanks again

Yeah Sada, you cheeky minx! One is never too old to do what rocks your boat. That's speaking from experience.

I cannot believe that noone has said it...

This thread is useless without pics.

Well my pic is real...

I'm sure you're a helluva cheeky minx yourself , dear Oldhand

Don't know if you'd like to keep three models to yourself or share them out , but every Wed is a meeting of youngish (25-40 year old), professional expats. This event is part of another forum type set-up so i will mention no more but to say that it is quite lively and one gets to meet many interesting characters from across the globe.

Directions follow,
Westside Music Cafe
Limmatstrasse 109
Opp Palais XTRA (Tram no 4, 13; Tramstop, Limmatplatz)
Zurich

Starts at 19h00 every Wed and goes on until the wee hours if there is a large enough crowd (most always is).

you mean a pic of me...first day on here.....will get one sorted

Some of us prefer amateurs.

But only as long as they talk about what they like to talk about.
