But...you left "the land of plastic women" for Fargo.
Ive researched Fargo for retirement. Its not bad, except for maybe the gigantic snow drifts in Winter. From what Ive read, I hope you like snow, ice and Winter.
One thing I find astoundingly interesting about North Dakota in general is that it is the only state with its own bank. Its very own private state bank. That just screams, "CONSERVATIVE!"
So, there's only like 2 places to meet women - catholic church or a biker bar, you are saying?
Why the focus on women in there 30s? If you are a man in your 30s, you should be looking at women between 21 and 25. Id say 18 - 25, but you probably dont wanna work that hard. *shrugs*
This post is coming out of nowhere and really the land of plastic women? Have you even been to California?
Yes...rural SWPA in an area where population decline/crashed economy/lack of education/drugs/white trash mentality runs rampant. I wasted a good four years after college living in dating hell due to my job. We're talking low population combined with zero culture and "I live in a bubble" type mentality. Nobody around within my age group, and those who were in their 20s scared the living daylights out of me and looked/acted like a cross between Joe Dirt and Kid Rock...it was horrible. Most of the girls were married right after high school and immediately started pumping out kid after kid. Just not good at all and a big waste of my time to have to live there for so long.
I saved up and bought a house in a large university city to the south of where I work...night and day difference with so many opportunities to meet wonderful people. Living in a lively area with a strong 20/30-something singles scene makes all the difference in the world when it comes to being happy and having opportunities. I really wish that I could have made my move sooner.
Some of these posts confuse me...I mean, some of you are mentioning major world class cities and larger national class cities here. I'm having fun in a growing university city of about 70k local and 115k metro...what in the world are some of you doing that you can't find people in OKC, DC, etc? I'd clean house in those cities...haha???
I mean really, what do you want? Go out and enjoy the nightlife/concert scene, hit up some happy hours...just go mingle and put yourselves out there. You literally have MILLIONS of people overall and in the least hundreds of thousands of people in your respective age ranges to meet.
1) Live in the middle of the action and put yourself regularly in situations where there's singles to meet all the time.
2) Take up all sorts of social hobbies and put yourself out there...like every day, every night, and keep repeating until you get it right.
3) Just have fun and figure out how to be outgoing...there's no harm in approaching people in a social setting, as that's what they're expecting anyway.
Wow...lol.

And, honestly, if I could find people to date in a pop. 6,000 farming community (which is honestly fairly large by farming community standards) with a couple of taverns, a drive-in theatre, and a Knights of Columbus hall for entertainment venues, I'm not really buying the whole "There's nobody to date in alllllllll of Oklahoma City (or wherever)!" deal.
