I will be moving to Portland in about 6 weeks. I'm a 34 year old single male with no kids. I have been talking to this guy I know who ironically moved to Chicago from Portland and he has been giving me some solid advice as I prepare to move. Well, today we were talking about Portland women and he told me that alot of women in my age group are married in Portland, and that I would probably have to date women in their 20's and late 40's if I was looking for a long term relationship. He also told me that Portland women are not prissy like alot American women and that they do not get dressed up to go out on dates, take baths regularly or stay out at bars and clubs all hours of the night. I have no problem with the age thing as I will date women as young as 18 and as old as 50 as long as we have something in common. I like to go to bars, cafes, bike trails, stripclubs and sit at home on a cold and rainy day and watch sports on TV or play around on my laptop. So I assume I will like Portland very much.

I guess I want to know is do you guys notice a scarcity of women to men around the city of Portland? And if so is it as propnounced as my friend led me to believe? I have never had a problem meeting women in my life. In Chicago, there are over a million unattached women to choose from so I didn't have this problem. But in Portland, with a population of nearly 600,000, meaning about 300,000 are women, I can imagine that the competition will be stiffer than usual. Will I have to steal women away from Portland guys or is it just my friend blowing hot air? I'm very confident in the world of dating. I just go under the assumption that all women want me, and rarely am I proven wrong. Could anybody give me a heads up about Portland women? I mean, what are they like?

Portland women are known for putting out... the recycling.

First impressions can be deceiving, you can never be sure what they will turn out to be:

lets go ahead and generalize all women in PDX metro area!

wow.

PS: the population is 2.23M people. since approx half of them are women, I am sure you will able to find at least a dozen that would match your exact specifications.

I would agree with the guy you spoke to that women here do not get dressed up very much (but neither do some of the men) when they go out, heck, even to just leave the house. It is perfectly normal to see sweats and even pajamas as normal attire worn out and about. When I lived in Southern California, I hardly ever saw this. Most people, women in particular, got ready and dressed when the left the house. And I dont mean they dressed up but they put some effort into it when they got ready.

Well, for a start, as a Portland woman, I think I would speak for many if not most of us when I say that that kind of attitude is pretty disgusting. We're humans, not conquests or trophy heads on your wall, and we appreciated being treated that way.
