Still, you can't discount the fact that Denver/Boulder won the #1 spot for dating in the country for several years in a row, I think 04-07, something like that, it was ranked by Forbes. That has to say something about the dating scene there.
I left Philly for Denver about four years ago, but not for the women as I'm married. My company transferred me here. If you want to move to Colorado, come here for the lifestyle, not just the women. The climate is better than the northeast and there is much more to do if you're into the outdoors and mountains. People here are surprised we are from the east as we are not rude, and mean spirited and our accents are softened due to suburban living. I can still order a cheese steak in Philly though like a native, but prefer the healthier, outdoor lifestyle of Colorado.

Very well said.

Those back east who never been to Denver/Boulder assume the exact opposite (brutally cold). It's funny the way some of them think.
I don't want to sound cruel, but the reality is there are awful women (and men) everywhere. Having traveled EXTENSIVELY before marriage, I don't think there is a better/worse place in the whole country for finding nice women--unless you are really remote somewhere. Although, I would probably select Southern California as the worst place to find someone nice if I had to pick. That goes for men and women.
Why a nationwide problem with finding the right girl? Because many of today's women have been brought up in broken homes, and sadly, been programmed that fighting and divorce and dysfunction are NORMAL attributes of a relationship, as they grew up around it. Add to that a culture that celebrates looks over personal values, and you have a sea of women that expect a Prince Charming that provides everything while they put very little effort into anything. My wife has many associates who fit that profile.
So that I don't sound sexist, I could rattle on two pages about the issues with males, but since this writer was addressing women, so is this response.
My advice? Select a place to live based on opportunities for business, housing, and the lifestyle you want. Denver, and Colorado, are excellent in many ways. If I had to move back to a climate that got cold, Denver would be my exclusive choice.
I would have no problem reaching out through the Internet to find people of interest also, but you will have to be patient. The upside is that you can immediately weed out the "I've got a boyfriend!" girls, the party girls (unless that is what you want), and the drama queens just by looking at what they write and slowly getting to know them.
I think Kevin is right on. Divorce and its consequences really have had a profound affect on the population. Selecting a place based on more tangible parameters, jobs, environment, etc. is the best course of action, and then everything else should fall into place.

Women should be at the very bottom of any man's list of qualifications to move to a city. There are ****ty, entitled, shallow and spoiled women everywhere. You cannot escape it. Don't move here because of how the women are. Move here for a better quality of life, better opportunities, scenery, etc.

You got that right. The only upside is that there's a whole new batch of ****ty, spoiled women to weed through. It will keep you busy for awhile.
On the upside, i've found myself a nice one though. She's a bit on the crazy side, but it's tolerable.

Part of it is that the media covers the blizzards in the mountains in the winter and everyone thinks its that way along the Front Range. We get an occasional dumping, but so what it melts and the sun comes out and its 55F again in January.
Lots of good advice here. The only thing I'll add is be the best person you can be and that special woman will usually find you no matter where you live.
