If I was a guy in a sea of single women the last thing I would comment on is the previously referenced "surplus". No time to complain when you are busy with the wide assortment in front of you.

Aside from the standard stuff (beautiful girl, financially stable, outgoing personality, etc = better odds) The Seattle area is not nearly as much of a "hooking up" city, as compared to Chicago or San Francisco or even Louisville. That means it will be more difficult to find a guy (only a few clubs, and most of those are dominated by college kids), but on the plus side you've got a better shot at a real relationship once you do find a guy.

You could do the standard "interests" stuff like hobby clubs, etc or you could try internet stuff.

I have two very close friends who tried internet dating... both of them found their wife on-line less than 6 months after they started and have each been married over 5 years (and counting).

In MY opinion... when you go looking you find yourself doing things you wouldn't normally do. Activities that you really don't enjoy just because you think you will find a man to love you. But we forget that after you meet and things settle...those activities will no longer be attractive to you, because you didn't enjoy them in the first place and then the problems begin. Or while you are looking you are being who you may think a man would want you to be then you change back...boom more problems... Soon you find he is not "MR. Right" yet again. So do what you like and be who you are and he will find you....no matter where you live.

Theres alot of truth to this advice! You mite wanna follow it.
