ugh. That's why I would hate living in The Bible Belt. Lots of Christians, but few who actually adhere to Christian values.

The reason there are so many single women in New York City is because there are over 8 million people living there, so when you have that many people ofcourse there are going to be alot of fish in the sea that have not yet been taken.

It's a no brainer that a city like the NYC with a population of over 8 million are going to have alot more single women than a city like Pittsburgh for example which has less than 400,000 people. The bigger a city the bigger pool of single women to choose from.

It was interesting to note that the women in New York are very highly educated, successful, attractive and sophisticated, yet ALL of them had never been married and some were into their late 30s. Chicago women are about the same way. I think Yankee women really have a lot to offer. It seems like women in Georgia who have much less to offer (by comparison) get all the men. (I don't mean that Southern women have nothing to offer-they can sure cook and "flirt" good-I just mean that NY women were unsurpassed.) If you don't believe me, why is it that the average dumpy woman in a muu-muu at the supermarket in the "Southern world"-always has a wedding ring on? I feel bad for single women in big cities. How can they have so much to offer and be so unable to find a mate? They also check "definetely" and "someday" under "want kids?" Sad.
This post saddens me. It seems that women are most attractive to men when they are in their early twenties. Many career minded women are not interested in getting married and forgoe marriage. By the time their goals are achieved, they are in their 30s. The 30 something year old men want the girls in their twenties. It is unforntuate. I have accepted my alternative lifestyle. I see many women subjecting themselves to pretty uncool things in the name of love. I've been there. I rather be alone and have my self respect.

someone said in another thread in the NYC forum, that there are 200,000 more women than men in NYC.

So that potentially explains it. Ultimately 200,000 women (maybe more) are going to be single forever. (Hi! That's me!)

That post also saddens me... I'm not in NY but live near DC now and find it very difficult to meet men who 1) aren't players 2) have time to actually devote to a relationship 3) want a serious relationship. I'm 22, attractive, and have a great career so I can definitely relate.

That might have more to do with your age group than your location. Guys in their 20s rarely want a serious relationship.

Seriously, there is such a high concentration of smart, highly-educated, looking-after-themselves women in major cities like NYC, Boston, Chicago - all the guys who are looking should go there.

And I'm speaking from experience. It took me removing myself from Boston, to finally meet someone.

So true. I've been in NYC for about thirteen years. Most men, and now a fair amount of women, have given up on long-term, intimate relationships. Thank God I travel. Now, I am finally in the process of moving. NYC is great city in many ways, but for me it's best for work, artistic endeavorss, and perpetual dating. I want more.
