- Shag’s at 216 Court Av
- Toad’s Tavern at 3002 State Av

The main area for singles nightlife would be in the East Village and along Court Avenue. Many of the best places to try and hook up with Des Moines girls can be found right in that part of town.
We highly suggest that any tourists reading this book an East Village hotel to make their lives easier while here. Not only will you be more likely to get laid, but many of the best things to see and do in town are located right around there.
We didn’t put The Garden on the above bar and nightclub list because it is an LGBT club, but since this town doesn’t have a ton of options it may be a spot to try and pick up girls near you on some nights. You should try to go to Heroes on Wednesdays when they bring in a DJ.
If there aren’t enough places to party here to satisfy you then see if you have a better time meeting girls at Omaha bars.
Meet Des Moines Girls During The Day
We were just talking about how the East Village is where many of the top things to do in this city are. Well, that means it will also be a good place to try and meet single Des Moines women during the day.
They will be coming in to shop, eat, or just walk around and look for things to do. Other good shopping areas where you can probably find more girls to say hi to are:
- Jordan Creek Town Center
- Outlets of Des Moines
- Merle Hay Mall
- Valley West Mall
- Southridge Mall
- Park Fair Mall
- Southgate Shopping Center
Chat With Girls Online
The world is kind of crazy right now isn’t it? A lot of us are on social media more often than we are in the real world, and if anything social media is about the least ‘social’ thing there is.
On that front we have some bad news: Des Moines girls aren’t going to notice your DM’s. You can send out as many as you want but all they really care about is how many followers they have and how many likes their last selfie got.
This can make it pretty hard for us single men to get laid, particularly when they use bars and nightclubs as their new backdrop for their latest content. Because of this we all need to adapt and the good news is you can actually find girls in your area online who want to hook up if you know where to look.
In the US Adult Friend Finder can work really well. Looking through profiles and sending out messages may not be as fun as buying bottles at a club, but if you get a girl in your bed we doubt you will care.
Adult Friend Finder isn’t really about finding true love or getting married. It really isn’t even a dating site, it is a hook up site which is great.
When every girl in Des Moines or anywhere in Iowa that uses it knows she is there to have fun and get laid it really simplifies the process. You don’t need to lead them on, you don’t need to lie and play games, you just need to invite a bunch of them over and have fun with the ones who say yes.
