It's not a matter of specific salary, it's a matter of salary relative to what they can make elsewhere, as well as how much they dislike the place. Those may be your numbers, but for someone else a $30K salary may keep them stuck somewhere (if they're not qualified for a similar salary elsewhere), and for others a $1 mil salary may not be enough to keep them in a place they really hate.

And, for all we know, the OP may really love his location, dating woes aside. That's why I asked.

Yea thats true, dating woes are a pretty big motivator to move though. I could duplicate my salery else where but I would have to be confident that I was not moving into another sausage fest (if I were still single or got dumped again). You just have to do your homework before you make a move.

It's not the same for men and women. Men don't find taken women desirable, many taken women just happen to be desirable. No man is going to be attracted to a woman just because she has a man but the amout of men who've recieved more attention(from the same women who ignored him) when he has a girlfriend or tons of options is endless.

I heard that NY is a misnomer, if you limit the age range from 25-35 and only single women, its a pretty bleak sausage fest. Toronto may be a meca but I have never looked it up, I have also heard the ukrain in russia has alot more women but I dont know if you can filter on age range.

Please show me a woman who has all those traits you listed and is at least average looking and under 30 years old that gets no male attention at all. That never happens unless she never interacts with men. If she has any kind of social life, men will find her.

No offense, but I don't see where the "Of course" comes from. In the real world, people (maybe not you, but people in general) act in ways contrary to their moral beliefs all the time. For example, it was recently reported that 80 percent of young "born-again Christians" have premarital sex.

My friend uses this term and often times its code for a women who is at least a 7, so of course these "average looking" women are going to have lots of guys going after them.

Below average women still have men going after them too. There are a ton of fat girls who get a lot of male attention. Basically if the girl is under 30 (and white), under 170 lbs, without any physical deformities, she will get plenty of male attention if she puts herself out there in social situations.
