ISO single males 35+...they have to exist
my last single girlfriend has tried online dating (eharmony, match etc), speed dating and joining a church/volunteer group, but is striking out in the men department.
who has a single male friend looking for a date? someone has to know someone 
any other ideas? i haven't been in the dating scene for well over a decade and never dated in my 30s. so i am at a loss on any more advice for her.

Co-ed inter-mural sports team.
I met both of my husbands in bars ;-)
lives in Arlington, works in DC.
me, too.
"What is a week-end?"
I'd suggest she do something that suits her interests like a sport, craft class, cooking classes... something where she will be happy and shiny b/c it's something that she loves. That's very attractive. Plus, the added bonus of doing something that makes her happy.
Sure, church groups can be nice, but that's not a lot of people's passion.
And she could join friends if they are having work happy hours.
I agree that she may be looking in the wrong places. We have a bunch of 35+ male singles at work (mostly techies) who don't go to church, on single's activity groups, etc.
They mostly hang out in bars and with each other. Sorry not to be of more help.
Stand up for something you believe in.
My husband's hockey team has a lot of single guys! Tell her to start hanging around the ice rink!
I would agree with the Meetup.com activities.
What activities does she like? What's she interested in?
I think meeting while doing activities you already enjoy is the way to go. DH and I met in our running group/marathon training group.
i just suggested meetup to my single girlfriend in MA since she'd be likely to meet some cool people with shared interests anyway and if she met a girlfriend too, so much the better.
having been off the market for awhile, i don't have a lot of ideas. the stories are entertaining but i'm grateful to be the listener instead of the storyteller.
My BIL is 35 (almost 36), single, and lives in Arlington. How low are her standards?
Just kidding...sort of. He's a good guy, but a little immature (and not in the best physical shape, although he's working on it).

what about hanging out in the beer aisle of a grocery store? (half-joking here)
I think she should just keep trying online dating and doing what she loves
my BIL is 42 and single and lives in Woodbridge, nice guy but out of shape and very set in his ways
