Orlando's dating pool? (Davie, Oviedo: insurance, credit card, hotels)

[annerk]

Look on e-bay for a replacement, I'll bet you'll find one, and it will cost a LOT less than $240. And you might keep your room clean, but do you really think a girl is going to go hang out in your parents messy house in your room? Sorry, but reality check says no way.

I've had the pleasure of meeting many southern girls, while they are very nice and less materialistic, I have yet to find one who was physically attractive *perhaps my standards may be too high but idk* and i find i dont have too much in common with them

i've been around the materialistic people so much through my life ive become that way myself to an extent. i seem to be into a lot of things that they are (latest music, nice material things, etc) perhaps its because i live in hunters creek.

let not make this thread about me anymore.

does anybody still have faith in the dating pool here? ive heard a mixture of things saying that orlando is a great place for singles, another saying it is one of the worst

what is the single orlandian's take on this?

I was Orlando's most eligable batchelor from 2001-2008. I can idententify with what you're saying so here's my 50 cent

When I first started working in O town, my job gave me a social circle which allowed me to have an "in" with many women. So I had my fun although nothing long term came of it. Then I hit a rough patch in 2006, and left in 2008.During that time women dropped down a few places on the priority list

My take on it is that if you are in the right circle of folks, the going is easier than if you come in as a "outsider". Unless you are a certified mack, it is relativley difficult to snatch a relationship out of thin air (but not impossible).

I also have a thing for latina women, but again found that you had to have some kind of "inside track" to get anywhere.

Based on what I'm seeing you write, I would say your headspace is in the wrong place to be worrying about dating right now. You claim you are moving anyway so why worry about dating now. Get yourself together first, acheive the goals you are striving to achieve and your confidence level should skyrocket Then you'll be posting to tell us "playas" how it should be done!

Good luck and may everything work out for you

Best

It still bothers me though that its Saturday night and Im spending it sitting here alone, on my computer on this forum. Im sick of all the jokes people make

I would like to have something short term or at least a friend with benefits. Thats another thing (Im sick and tired of being made fun of for never getting any) But most women seem frigid towards me. Especially latinas they seem to hate white men

I have a puerto rican male friend who took me to obt one night about a month ago near central fl pkwy where all the food carts set up and everybody seems to gather there after the clubs let out and have some food. I felt so out of place there because I didnt speak any spanish, my friend encouraged me to talk to some girls but I wussed out. I was the only white person there.

Im not racist but I wouldnt go back to a place like that without a hispanic friend who speaks spanish. Id probably get jumped or something. A lot of the men who were there all gave me dirty looks anyways

Hey man, stay away from those places. Too many punks and idiots at places like that. If you feel out of your element, it's probably best to just stay away from it (I'm referring to the clubs you mentioned above).

I'm married, and I am so glad that I am for a number of reasons, but I would have a hard time in Orlando if I were single. I just cant stand the way many of them act. I've met some nice and cute girls that I would ask out (if I werent married), but for the most part, not a great place for singles, at least, ones that are nice and down to earth. I spent a lot of time in and around Asheville NC and Knoxville TN (UT), and the girls there - in my opinion - are hotter and much, much friendlier. So it's not necessarily you or your fault. Keep your eyes peeled for some hotties that are also nice and friendly - leave the stuck up ones for the moron with a $700 leased car and sh1tty apartment while going broke trying to impress. Places like clubs and bars are NOT the best place to meet girls either, IMO.

Then maybe it's time to start looking inward instead of blaming everything due to none of the women living up to your standards (physically, mentally, emotionally, etc.).

I hate to be blunt but this guy isn't going to get "hotties" If he was the kind of guy that attracted hotties...well, he said it himself, he wouldn't be at home on a Saturday night on the computer. But maybe if he took a step back and scaled back on his expectations just a tick, he could probably meet a nice, normal girl who while maybe not playboy centerfold material, would end up being a very cute and attractive girl in his eyes.

But DavieJ89, if every girl you want to connect with has to look like Jessica Alba or something similar first, you've got a lot of long, lonely nights ahead of you...

P.S. Just went back and looked at your photo. You're a pretty cute guy - but I would maybe lose the argyle sweater (lol) I don't know, maybe you're just trying to hard...if you ignore them, they will come ;o)

From your photo it looks like you're doing well with those two girls from Hooters. As strange as it may sound sometimes its easier to date in the smaller towns. Years ago I lived in a rather small town outside of Nashville, TN and it was VERY easy meeting women in that area (close to Kentucky). They were very friendly, usually pretty, and comfortable in any environment. That area had its share of other problems (lower income, cold winters, tornados in the spring)but the women are very approachable up there and in other nearby states like Kentucky and Missouri.

Im quite the gentleman for a northerner. Having spent almsot my entire childhood and meeting a mixture of good ol fashioned rednecks and ;iberal northerners my values are quite mixed.

but as far as dating is concerned im like the good ole fashioned southern gentleman with the sexual aggression of a northerner. lol too personal?
