Work on yourself and the rest will follow.

i guess because prince charming is pimp charming
most of the time....................basically. the ladies
are just too naiive to know it and just wind up
lonely, bitter women with children but no man in
their lives. it's really pitiful for them and us tho,
because many of us guys wind up the same way
(no american dream).

I Often down play what little attractiveness I have to avoid sexualizing my appearance in the workplace. I walk for my commute, so I dress not for success but for comfort. Women deal with street harassment in DC, and it's not flattering but exhausting. A lot of young women have to work with older over the hill men, and they probably get hit on at work all the time. So, they just want to go home, no smiles on their faces for any men and no energy for a bar scene.

A lot of guys are happy to meet women who don't wear a lot of make up and jewelry or get all dolled up, that way they get to know the real person. Most women look completely different without make up.

I suggest you give the women you are meeting a bit more of a chance than just rating them from 1 to 10 for their looks. First impressions are important. And what is considered fat in DC? Most of the young women I see are very thin from all the walking for the commute.

And if you checkout some speed dating events, they always need more men. I tend to have better luck meeting men through friends so I avoid singles events or online dating.

And another bit of advice for the guys, it really is your responsibility to plan the date. It's not about how much money you spend, but how much thought and effort you put into the date.

Good luck!
Well said. But at the same time, you prove our point. Women in NYC get hollered at as well and I have a feeling that people in general do as much walking there as in DC, yet women are fashionably dressed and care about their looks, whereas in DC - as you insinuated - they're just dressed for comfort and have basically "given up" (my words, not yours).

You know, I was at two singles events yesterday - same thing - too much sausage and not enough (attractive) women, but same story, they were being surrounded by guys (mostly the hangerons)...most of them had "arm pudge" or a slight gut and most of them were in their late 20s/early 30s...just shameful.

If most guys are like me - and I think they are - we generally look at a woman and think one of two things: a) what does she look like naked and b) what will she look like 10 years from now (if you're into more long-term thing, which I think many guys are in DC).

In this vein, I wish women here would dress a bit better and mind their body a lot more.

This city is known as the Hollywood for ugly people and it deserves its reputation.

I do not want to meet a woman who is not wearing makeup, looks tired/worn out, hair messed up, unbathed.


There is word for the type of man you are describing: INCARCERATED

It's what makes all these 'sausage fest' accounts so funny when you read them. If you got your picture from this forum instead of experiencing it yourself outside, you'd swear theres whales on every corner in DC with pork rinds in one hand and political books in the other.

Pudge. The roll on womens stomach that sticks out. Looks like a rolling hill. Can be found on most women in sports bar, buffets, etc.

Exactly. Basically I look at the upper arm where flab accumulates and the "pouch" (aka belly flab)...not on all girls of course, but many in DC seem to have them.
