Seattle is Nation’s Worst City to Find Love (Bellevue: college, camp)

[87112]

I just wish Ghosting would happen less in the region or is that a cultural norm in America?
Last week I meet a young lady, without me going first she gives me her # and an arranged Saturday casual Lunch. Well towards the Saturday guess what I meet Casper the Ghost.

Shaking my head??? She was above my league looks wise so I of course as a reality thinking kind of person did not hit on her. So why in the heck would she play games?? Perhaps Seattle women are more on the flake side? I don't know, I am not a social person and my opportunites to meet people are maybe 2 to 3 times a year so perhaps folkguitart555 knows what is the real deal here dating wise.

I remember years ago the guys I worked with joking about how Washington/Idaho were "BYOW" (Bring Your Own Women). Not sure what the deal is but dating up there can be really rough.



Maybe the weather? Big, warm cities always seem to be better for dating.

You nailed it! Its why down south they have southern hospitality! Its because they are never stressing over the weather.

Hospitable as long as you belong to the right church and if your skin isn't too dark. I don't know, chief. I've lived in Seattle 29 years but am from Miami originally. Although the sun shines often and the beaches are beautiful, it's also hot and humid and wins the road rage Capitol of the country each year. I think that weather can drive you crazy. I'll take my mild, cozy weather anyday, especially with global warming starting to affect the country.

I sometimes describe Seattle's weather as "dank," homes. By that I mean there's humidity in the air when it's cold quite often, and, if you don't have a thick enough jacket on you'll feel the cold right down to your bones. But you're right, Seattle's weather is generally pretty mild. No bright sun producing mega-heat like we get down here in New Mexico.

You had her number. Did you call or text her, to ask what was up?

I would much rather be living in the southern United States when it comes to meeting women. Seattle women are self-centered, rigid and cold, money and career obsessed, entitled, aloof social oddballs.... And they never call you back they don't like to communicate.... It's only when they feel like it. The place is something out of a horror movie when it comes to dating for single men. Straight up the place sucks. Nothing to do with weather. It's that icy cold Pacific Northwest pathetic social ethos. I can't believe how many years I've wasted in the northwest. Give me Southerners any day over Pacific North westerners. the Northwest maybe beautiful naturewise but it sucks royally people wise. Plus the place is so stinking expensive these days it's unaffordable...Do you ever notice that all the ultra liberal cities are the most expensive in America to live in? And the only people that can afford them are the ultra liberal elitists? So much for liberalism caring about the poor. That's a fable. Always has been. Another liberal lie. And back to the women and the dating scene in Seattle ...single men if you're from out-of-state thinking about moving to Seattle? Think twice. Mark my words single men from out-of-state you'll be sorry. You'll be one lonely soul in Seattle.

Yes, I tried. 2 texts and 1 calls. Any more attempts and it would be demeaning.

Wow. I'm sorry to hear that. Brutal! And perplexing. Why did she give you her number, then, completely unsolicited? Weird.

Actually, the out-of-state guys tend to do better, because some of them are from friendly states, like CA and NYC, so they have no trouble approaching women. They're not reserved, like so many Seattle guys. Ion fact, several of them have said so on this very forum. If Seattle guys want to date women, they need to talk to them IRL. They need to be friendly and outgoing, and meet women through local activities.
