Do you really believe that there's a substantial amount of people who travel from NYC to Nevada to get married?

That's nice. Not too many couples I know stay together for that long and the ones that do are usually miserable. If I'm not mistaken didn't he pass away not too long ago ?

This has been my experience with women friends in NYC as well. Finding someone is not hard, finding someone willing to stick around is.

Last I heard, if you are gay, nyc is the place. For for everyone else, especially women it’s hell.
Also men wanting to get married are on decline. They finally realized that personal freedom combined with financial freedom is King.

All bets are off when it comes to poor, stupid and uneducated. Those idiots multiply like roaches. Unfortunately. You would think God would help out with this one, but it appears he is too hungover with the Hampton’s crowd to give a crap.

For women, the more she is able to substantially support herself the more difficult she can find a romantic partner, because she has already established herself, has her own life style, & live comfortably. It's not easy to give up a life style that she has been having for years, it takes someone great who can make her happier from her happy life she is having now & it's rare because many crappy dudes out there.

Unless that woman is desperately seeking a relationship of which there are some women who can't live without men, then it would be a different story, she would do anything to keep her man or be with a man, if necessary, to be his sugar mama!

I was never able to find someone in NYC. I feel like things would be different if I grew up elsewhere.

I have friends who live in smaller cities and its not any better there honestly. At least in NYC we have more options then the people we went to high school with. Can go to a bar and meet someone who grew up in a different area
