50 first dates! Actually there is a ton of variety and I attribute my lack of success to my pickiness. I would have to agree though.

If you're a girl, sure. Even a 5 or 6 can have her calender full of dates with tons of thirsty dudes. If you wanna get and KEEP a girl from online, you gotta have your game tight.

It isn't surprising, given the high # of people moving here from out of the area. Less likely to meet someone through a mutual friend or through family if you are living somewhere that you didn't grow up.

It doesn't surprise me a bit. DC is loaded with singles. It also has a high turnover of new arrivals with each election, so that keeps the selection interesting, as well.

I'd agree 100%. Every time I am out I see a ton of people meeting for the first time and they obviously met online. You know the scene....guy or girl walks into bar, may mistake you for their date (happened to me last month), then they go and sit while texting their date who is en route to the destination. Date shows up, awkward hug and nice meeting you, and there you go. As a guy who is looking for a relationship I think online dating is great here in DC. First off, most nice women don't go to the bars looking for men. They go out for girls nights dressed to the 9's and don't want to be bothered. I find the ones who do go out have attitudes, are extremely shallow and have no depth at all, or have very high expectations, or all of the above. My advice is that if you're looking for a nice, attractive woman here in DC who wants a relationship utilize online dating. All the great women I have met here in DC have been from online and very few from out and about. This includes bars, Meetups, etc. Steer clear and save your money for something worthwhile.

I used to date online. I have found that women from the South are a lot more down-to-earth and aren't as jaded from the DMV life (cost-of-living and dating knuckleheads). And they can cook! Women of the South also have a greater chance of having a stable family with a great male role model in their father. I noticed that most of the ones I dated from the South don't have chips on their shoulder about men as opposed to here either.

I grew up in this area and I knew the women. Dating outside of the area was refreshing. But that was 10 years ago. With the new influx of singles, the types of women out there may have changed for the better.

Online dating opens up an entire world of possibilities. I felt that I didn't have to be constrained to the DMV area.
