the 10 best places to meet men

When Julius Malema talks, we generally ignore his crazy comments. But when Juju recently revealed he's hoping to meet his soul mate, and that he's looking for her at his local church – it got us thinking there are plenty of other unusual spots to scout for guys.

"Follow the same approach you would when searching for a job, a house or a new car," she suggests. "Be assertive and creative, establish your goals, set a deadline, scour the market and make an informed selection."
