jobaba Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 I've heard the opposite from people who live there -- that the men have a field day with their endless options and never want to commit while there are hordes of single women who can't find a guy who will commit to them. Marriage is a different animal. Some women get to their 30s, and feel their clocks tickin', and all of a sudden they will let some of their standards relax a little bit. I will say I feel bad for some of the mid to late 30s women who can't get a man to pop the question to them. But honestly for a lot of them, if they weren't so picky, they'd have had a real good guy years ago (thinking of real life examples).
itsmewren Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 Ugh no. I didn't like online dating. I tried it and didn't get good results. You could try it though. You may like it bummer. sometimes I feel doomed! half of my friends/fam say "it'll happen when you least expect it" and the other half tell me to get out there and make it happen. I know I'm not alone in this sentiment, but I wish meeting people to date was easier somehow.
jobaba Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 HUH???? Who said I want better? I think Wolf is nice looking, but very bitter and doesn't have a very good attitude toward women. If that means I want better, then I guess I do:rolleyes: Haha. I don't know anything about you actually. Nevermind. I was just generalizing based on your one comment that all the attractive guys are taken. But I haven't read of your previous posts.

Yeah all the attractive guys IN MY TOWN are taken or are 12 (college kids all seem 12 to me). I'm not talking about the dudes on LS. There have been a few on here that have been interested in me, but the only one I wanted to date seriously lived in England. Again, that's my luck. It's either timing or location, location, location.
Wolf18 Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 Pickings aren't slim, you two just refuse to date guys who are a little younger than you. A guy in college doesn't have the "self-esteem" of a guy whose got a decent job, right? There is no shortage of men, just not your "type" of men. There is nothing wrong with a kind of rural/country man (rednecks) or even a college guy, you just don't want to date them. You'd be surprised, some of these rural guys will probably treat you like more of a traditional gentleman than some cosmopolitan type, but who knows you're probably not into that either. Women can't find a man because they are too picky, men can't find a girl because ...women are too picky
Untouchable_Fire Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 I live in Seattle and dating here is really easy, which makes relationships twice as hard. I hear really bad things about NYC and LA. I have a few friends down in Cali and from what I see the people are more shallow than average. My friend Jennifer grew up in northern Florida is extremely pretty, but just can't catch a break living in San Diego. I've known her for 3 years and she has been cheated on, bitten, kicked, dumped, lied to A TON, and constantly put down. The last time I was down there she went out and bought a breast enhancement to keep up with the other ladies her age.. 32.

They aren't looking to settle down. Why would they? They are in college with tons of college chicks crawling all over them. Rednecks are just not my thing. Sorry
ShannonMI Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 And by rednecks I mean toothless imbreeds. Not just "rural men." I'd date a small town boy in a second.
ShannonMI Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 I'm 28 so that would mean dating a guy who is 10 to 6 years younger than me, which I think is too great a gap. I *have* dated younger guys (my ex was four years younger) and my current boyfriend is 2.5 years younger. But I'm looking to settle down with someone and most college guys aren't in that mindset. Most of my boyfriends have been younger. I dated a guy for 8 years that was 4 years younger then me. He was 19 and I was 23 when we met. He was very mature for his age. My last guy was 37. 5 years older then me. He was a nut though. A bipolar who wasn't on meds.

Why can't people just be happy with who they are instead of trying to fit in with people they don't even like?

ShannonMI Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 Honestly, you're cute. I don't understand why you'd have difficulty finding a girlfriend. He is but seems very bitter about women in general.
OnyxSnowfall Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 He is but seems very bitter about women in general. He "claims" he's not like that IRL but, otherwise I tend to agree.

ShannonMI Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 He "claims" he's not like that IRL but, otherwise I tend to agree. His middle name is Bitter. :rolleyes:He is for sure even though he denies it.

He was hot and good in the sack and didn't seem shallow, but he was a complete NUT!!!! There's just no winning!
Star Gazer Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 He is but seems very bitter about women in general. Exactly. Just being physically attractive does not make a person boyfriend material.
ShannonMI Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 Exactly. Just being physically attractive does not make a person boyfriend material. Thank you. That poster had no idea what he was talking about. Saying I didn't think Wolf was good enough. No he's not, he's a bitter, bitter boy. I don't go for that even if they are good looking.

I think they are kind of nutty... maybe a product of new age parenting techniques? I would not trade dating pools with you EVER! Upstate NY is a rough market. The last few years we in Seattle have had a big increase in the number of hispanics and asians on the dating market... and both seem to have good quality people of box genders.

He was bipolar and not on meds. His mother was a shrink. Go figure. He should have been as NORMAL as could be, but was far from it. He was good in bed though, let me tell ya. Crazy sex is always the best sex. That's my opinion now hahahahahahaha:laugh::laugh: Yeah Upstate NY sucks @ss as far as dating. Like I said, it's toothless rednecks and young college boys.

No he's not, he's a bitter, bitter boy. I don't go for that even if they are good looking. Well, the poster who said he should have no trouble finding a GF is a actually a female. I'm not surprised she feels that way though given how she's allowed herself to be treated by her BF. But I agree with you; he could be as hot as Ryan Reynolds and I still wouldn't go for him because of his angry, bitter little boy attitude.

Star Gazer Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 All of the really good, down to earth guys I know are native to NorCal or from Ohio, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan or Wisconsin. They have no trouble with the ladies, it seems.
Star Gazer Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 Well if it was Ryan I might have a hot little fling with him:laugh::laugh: Well, sure. I wouldn't kick him out of bed either. But I wouldn't expect him to be relationship quality.
