Why Does Dating Suck In Metro Atlanta areas? (bankrupt, snake)

If sharing a mutual religion were the most important ingredient for a strong relationship/marriage then there would be no such thing as divorce.

That being said, the best place(s) to meet men or women are social gatherings where that allow you to form a casual acquaintanceship with the other person and learn something about them and their habits/personality before you decide whether they are date-worthy or not.

Church might not afford you that opportunity unless you stick around for bible study or snacks after. Even then, if you go to a megachurch, there are no guarantees that you'll see said person in the next 3-4 weekends.

College/school is the #1 best place to meet people. You come into contact with lots of new folks often, the majority of them are unmarried, and you wont' look like a creeper approaching said person for conversation.

I would say that these places are decent spots for out-of-college adults:
pick-up sports at the park (volleyball, soccer, kickball?)
weekly dance class/bike ride/etc
party that a mutual friend is throwing
small-to-medium sized concert.

Hi, we are all entitled to our opinions. But I could hardly disagree more. First, the girl's point is that she is looking for someone to date and she sounds to me that she is looking for a serious relationship. Now if she is just looking to party and screw around, then sure there is no better place than college for that.

However if she is looking for a serious committment then college does have major drawbacks. First many would make the argument that college is just one experience filled with booze and drinking and partying and some studying. It works for some people and that's fine for them. However many people change after college and are two different people by the time they are in their mid 20's. But even if I agreed with your point that college was the best place to meet people (which I obviously don't), college is such a small collection of the population that the argument is nearly worthless. It's like telling people who want to become successful to become an MD.

Divorce happens within the church because people don't follow God's blueprint on how he designed marriage. Marriage is extremely challenging and is always a work in process. Divorce among people whom call themselves Christians is no higher than the average. However Christians actively plugged into a church have a much lower divorce rate then the average population. That's because those following the bluepring on how marriage should be are natually going to be more succesful then those who follow what society tells marriage should be.

I would elaborate more on the benefits of church, but I will not get off topic because I would receive a violation.

Have a blessed day.

Hey.Im going to put it like this. All these women are looking for a sucker in Atlanta. Im black and educated. They all claim they are educated. Ok fine but that doesnt qualify you in the art of dating and people skills. (2) There is a mental health crisid in thr black community. I dont care if your rich or not you still have black genes. (3) We have all these people from all the major cities down in Atlanta with all their trifling baggage there. (4) Move, I mean haul ass. Dallas, Houston, Seattle,Denver. H better places for dating and blacks if you have a education.(5) All these chicks whining about no men are going to be the ones on this thread 20 years from now. DUDE all the positive blacks got the hell out of that place because it went from sugar to **** after 911. So all you got is frauds left who dont have the ambition or courage to make a better life somewhere else.They would rather raise their kids in a crap city so they can be social butterflies around a bunch of nobodys.

Beantown are we a little angry??

I created an account here just to share my point of view in this specific thread.

I have lived in Atlanta for at least 2 years now. I have lived in Metro Atlanta since I was about 2, minus a couple of years away for college and such. I have always traveled downtown in search of a good time (love, sex, romance). It has never happened. I am at my breaking point. I can't take it any longer. Neither of these smileys describe the intensity which I feel and endure- . I am very attractive, my energy is very laid back, and, well, I've got a lot of good things going for me. I've tried everything possible to get the women I desire here. Nothing. I didn't want to be this way, but, now, I am mean just because I am so hurt by what has happened to me in this city. Yes, now I've started to go out of my way just to be mean. I want to just say, "I don't need women anymore.", but I am a healthy, young, human man with hormones, and that will never work.

Yes, that was a lot of "I am this. I am that.", but I don't care about my writing skills when this angry.

I am earning enough money that I may be able to get out of here in a month's time. I don't want to leave Atlanta because I've known it for 90% of my 24 years on Earth. Like any big city, there are hot women everywhere of every flavor and skin color. I'm dizzy with all of the prospects around for love and sex. If I go to a small town, there may be a lot less women around, but they may be able to be had; however, I am looking at leaving the USA entirely, especially with the way things are headed so downhill in this country.

Also, I am surprised that not really anyone has spoken of the gay community here in this stupid town. I don't have problems with gays and the bimbos that surround them, but it sure has an impact on a straight man's chances of finding romance. Everywhere I go, the women act catty and the guys try their luck on me... -> -> ->

Society is degenerating in general in America. I have a hunch that this is not just an Atlanta debacle. If you think Atlanta is great, you're wrong. You're just wrong.

There are a lot of brilliant posters in this forum who are breaking down what is going on (unfair divorce laws, feminist movement, women treating sex as a doggy treat, etc.), but RoslynHolcomb is not one of them. She is exactly the type of woman you'll find here, and I pity her husband. Everyone is degenerating in this culture void. The underlying point to note here is that the root of the problem is moral decay, and it affects men and women alike.

It's hard to enjoy life without someone you love or someone to get in bed with.

Hmmm, a straight guy blaming gay guys for his own inability to get laid...

How exactly does that work? I mean, wouldn't more gay guys = less competition?

Am I missing something here?

[Lady's Man]

I thought it was women that were desperate?

[Iconographer]

Simply pathetic. Gosh, its nice to be happily married.

[Jillgineer]

If straight women are choosing to spend time with gay men instead of you, the problem is in the mirror and not with the gay guys.

Amen, Lovin! I fail to comprehend how folks can, with any intellectual honesty, blame a place on their love life's shortcomings. I think the mirror would be a better place to start in most instances.

Maybe you should call an escort? It sounds like you are the problem not Atlanta.
