This I agree with. At least Boise proper that is.

Boise is the worst for finding women because most are either married or to young. Many are Mormon. I have found most women that are single, available, friendly come from other states. Those that live here are the worst. Probably why I am moving in the next few months. Terrible here.

Nice of you to pop in here in your first post and insult pretty much all the available women in Boise. Probably good you're moving on to greener pastures.

Does that make his point invalid? I can say I've heard a lot of people say the very same thing about the singles scene in Boise.

I was in Boise for awhile about ten years ago, and it stunk then, for me at least....just real socially withdrawn, apathetic and distant, is what I found to the case as a single guy in the dating realm, in Boise.....but that was a long time ago. The loneliness I personally experienced in Boise is exactly why I left. Just my opinion and experience though. I sure met some real mean souls there as well, in the dating realm. Left a bad taste in my mouth for Boise, haven't been back since. Boise is way overrated, imo, on many fronts.

Our sons went to school here their entire lives and know a lot of people across the area because of their involvement in school sports and activities. Now that they are in their mid 20's some of that connection has broken down to some degree. A couple years ago, they gave up dating for a while. They have a group of tight friends, guys and girls, but use online dating services. I have several single female friends 40+ who have given up on dating.

I got a message this post was active again so I thought I would update... I originally posted in 2010 and I was 29 and just moved to Boise and found it to be a tough singles scene. Well not much has changed! Except now I am 33 and still single hahaha!

I moved to in 2010 Boise and actually made a fair amount of friends. I moved abroad for work in mid 2011 for about a year and came back to Boise and a lot of those friends had moved onto bigger cities for better jobs. It's been about 2 years since I moved back and I haven't had a relationship or made many new friends... just a ton of first dates.. some good, most bad and overall an incredibly disappointing dating scene. However I travel a ton for work so I have that working against me... lots of men aren't interested in dating someone that is gone often.

The lack of friends and a relationship is why I am planning on moving away in the spring... Boise is a lovely place to live but I want to live among other young, single professionals. I have friends in SF,SD, Denver, NYC, PDX and work from home so I have tons of options of where to live.

However I would say that I have single friends all over and it seems to be difficult everywhere. Overall I have kind of given up on the idea of a relationship and while that might seem sad it's actually been for the better. I am 33, no kids, divorced for about 5 years, have a graduate degree, just got promoted, keep active and am tons of fun! No one in my family or friends can figure out why I am single but it is what it is. Perhaps things will change in the future but I am not holding my breath... I just enjoy life as a single woman and it's actually quite fun!

Bad attitude. Good riddance.

I think a blanket statement that "all the women women who live here are the worst" and the women NOT from Idaho are apparently OK by comparison really strains his credibility, yes.

So for that poster, it's probably very good for his happiness that he's moving on...
