The main area for singles nightlife would be in Adams Point and Uptown which are neighborhoods next to each other to the north and west of Lake Merritt. This is where you are going to find many of the best local lounges and singles bars if you hope to hook up quick.
There aren’t many real nightclubs here, mostly you get lounges and bars but there isn’t much of a difference. If you want to try and hook up with Oakland girls then Adams Point and Uptown are the top areas to do it.
For guys who are traveling through town and hoping to get laid getting a hotel in or near those party areas would definitely be recommended. Jack London Square is another solid option about 10 minutes away where you will find more single women at bars in your area as well as spots for your date nights.
We also have covered trying to get laid in San Jose if you want to give the nightlife there a try.
Where To Day Game
You should be able to find plenty of single Oakland women walking around by Lake Merritt on Lake Shore Avenue throughout the day. Of course the nightlife will give you more options, but Adams Point and Uptown should also be solid for day game, as will Jack London Square.
The UC Berkeley campus isn’t too far away so you could try to hit on some college girls in cafes or nearby parks. Another option would be to meet more girls in your area at malls and shopping districts like:
- Alameda South Shore Center
- Bay Street Emeryville
- Bayfair Center
- Eastmont Town Center
Find Girls Near You Online
Can we ask you something? How are you supposed to meet girls in person these days? Doesn’t it feel like every time you see a hot girl she has headphones on and is avoiding eye contact with everyone else on the street?
Are you really supposed to go over to try and get her to stop listening to the music to hear what you have to say? It doesn’t seem to get any better at nightclubs where most girls near you are just interested in taking selfies.
Don’t even get us started on trying to talk to a female co-worker. Be a bit overly polite or even worse ask them out on a date and see how that goes for you.
This is what dating is like for single men right now, and many are struggling to adjust to the modern times. Don’t sweat it, girls in Oakland are hooking up as much or more than ever before, you just need to know the right ways to meet them.
You should still be going out to the local singles bars or starting conversations during the day when the opportunity presents itself. But from a speed and efficiency standpoint nothing can help you get laid quicker than using online dating sites, they are the modern speed dating after all.
Apps are played out, but when women in your area take the time to sign up to a dating site they mean business. We aren’t going to tell you about the best sites to find your future bride, there are tons of those and they all can work just fine.
Guys who are only interested in hooking up have fewer options. If all you care about is getting laid use Adult Friend Finder, this site is all about hooking up, not serious relationships.
There are hundreds of girls having casual sex in Oakland and over a thousand in the Bay Area thanks to Adult Friend Finder. The great thing is all these girls know the deal going into it so you don’t need to lie or play any games.
Doesn’t that sound nice? Two people both knowing where the other stands and both wanting the same thing?
