That makes meeting someone hard as well.
I find this hard to believe. If you are average or better looking, you should kill it in the bay area since the bay area is a sausage fest. Plenty of men (and rich ones at that) in the bay area and good portion of them are single.

You either have to step up to the plate and may possibly ask a man out, or lower your standards. There are a lot of good guys out there, some maybe too shy to make a move. I have seen below average women trying to hold out for a guy way above them. They need to lower their standards. If a girl is really attractive, all she really has to do is going out to a bar and club and im sure someone will hit on her, she may not like the guy but someone will make a move at some point. A girl i went to a wedding with as a date was hit on by at least 3-4 times throughout the night.

Your mileage may vary based on the type you are and the type you want. It also depends on where you live in the Bay. There are a lot of men, but also a lot of men who aren't all that social. Good luck finding one of those workoholic engineers. They are either working long hours or playing video games (to massively stereotype.) There is a reason that many bay area couples meet at work, people spend most of their time there.

And then there are the ones who live in suburbia, which doesn't give you many options to "be in public" to meet people.

The other thing I find there is a big subset of men who of course aren't really ready for relationships. They do a lot of hooking up because they feel like they have lots of options. And then of course there are the men looking for models, when the Bay is more about natural beauty.

That sounds like most guys in most cities. But I do agree with you on the "depending on the type you are" thing. The more narrowly focused you are or the more expansive your list of requirements are, it's going to be much harder/longer it'll take to find someone.

If you have an fabulous and creative ideas, please respond back.
I know a number of handsome Bible believing God revering men that do not have a woman. Seek God in his Word and trust him in Jesus Christ and you might just find exactly what you are looking for.

Marriage is a God ordained institution and is to demonstrate commitment to God and one another.

That's a good suggestion. I wouldn't mind taking dancing classes and cooking classes.

You're not going to meet single men there. You'll see men with their girlfriends/wives.

Its' as simple as that.


I've been told I'm attractive (I have no opinion on whether I am...that's just what I've been told), and I'm definitely not approached often. And I have friends at school who range from attractive to drop dead gorgeous and they don't have guys beating down their door either.

It depends on who told you you were attractive. If it was men who told you that then you probably are, and you just don't notice the approaches. Attractive women don't actually have to do anything to be approached.

So no one, not one single, good guy has approached you and your classmates within the last 6 months? I find that really hard to believe if you guys are truly attractive & gorgeous.
