You won't always have much success going to just random bars/clubs. I find that I have a much better time going to events and shows that fit my interests. You get familiar with the scene(s), and it should make it easier, and you find chicks with similar music taste's etc. As you've probably also read a million times: dancing's good, keep clothes clean. Keep frame and C&F attitude. I also got the Toronto scene to work with lol, so its what you make of it. Actually I like how most Toronto advice is to leave and try somewhere else - it would keep getting better with less dudes around, definitely.
