I heard the Vegas area was bad for dating I've been there a lot of times and I've also never heard a lot of good things about Florida apparently Miami has a really high percentage of gold diggers.

Hypergamy, marrying above your socioeconomic class, is more common in Latin American culture. It's not particularly surprising that there is more of it in Miami than elsewhere in the United States. If you grew up poor hearing the message "pick the affluent guy with the good career who can provide for you", it certainly influences your decision making. Mainstream US culture is largely middle class where you wouldn't get that message since your dating pool is middle class just like you.
If I were a college educated white collar worker in Vegas, I wouldn't have much interest in that huge pool of women working service sector jobs. I'd have nothing in common with them. I imagine all the single female college educated white collar types in Vegas get hit on by the slime balls so much that most aren't very approachable. Yep. Move to where there is a bigger dating pool.
I turned 27 on December 23, 2016. I guess I am now officially in my late 20s (I know I'm still "young" to a lot of you) Its been 9 years since I graduated high school, a lot of the people I went to high school with are now engaged or happily married, and a majority of those people have at LEAST 1 child with another on the way. While they are my friends and I'm happy for them, I feel like I am the only person left who is still single. I suppose that stems from a lot of things (ie self esteem, self confidence, subconsciously pushing people away, my internal issues) To me being repeatedly cheated on, gold diggers, game players, this that and the other. I'm at a point now where I feel like I should make a christian mingle profile because I'm done with all these demons
Living in a city where most women are strippers, escorts, porn stars, this, that, and the other doesnt help much either. They're fun to hang out with, even platonically, but much else, no not really.
I know lots of good girls here in Vegas, but they are all so happily taken by whatever guy they choose over me. (Im NEVER the first choice, I'm "the option", I'm "the backup plan", I'm the guy she calls when her man is acting up)
Sorry to vent, but I cant be the only one who feels all the "good ones" are taken. Does anybody here (male or female) feel this way too?
Absolutely. I totally echo your post. I also sometimes feel like I am that kind of "secondary" guy and that there is always someone out there who is for some reason "luckier" and more preferable than me.
As far as the single women out there... Yah, all the good ones were taken in their early 20's I feel like. Even in my workplace, of that 10% of single women that are available I just cant possibly see myself with any of them. There is one I was considering trying with until I found out how sl#tty she is.
But yeah, everywhere I go all see is rings and rings and rings... Its absolutely crushing. Like, how do you women all have someone?

Yeah I agree if you're a white collar worker they are hard to date since they have to work a lot of evenings and weekends. It would be interesting to hear the perspective of women in regards to dating there maybe most of them are taken like the op said and the singles scene is all just about hooking up.
It must be a Miami thing w/ all the beaches and fancy night clubs and so on hispanic women are generally pretty realistic with what they're looking for it seems like in most parts of the country. My friend married one she's really great.
To the op I would try some different dating sites if I were you I honestly don't think ChristianMingle has a high number of subscribers. I absolutely hate OLD at this point but at your age it's a little different. Also you can increase your search distance there's a number of cities in Arizona not all that far from Vegas. Vegas is a city out in the middle of nowhere but it's a decent sized metro, just spread out. So you're going to be limited if you're just looking at the core city. Plus I think it's harder out west in the sunbelt for men in general. Men move there for work that's why some people say Phoenix is a sausagefest.

I'm a single, 32-yr-old woman who lives in Los Angeles. I have some friends and family who are married, but I've no complaints. The only reason I'm running solo is because I'm working on my inner self. I say this to you because you need to work on your inner self. Even "good girls" have their flaws. Nobody's perfect.

Who's to say one cannot work on "inner self" - whatever that means - while being in a relationship? Why do you need to be single in order to try and become a better person? I don't see any connection here whatsoever.
