I am currently living in Albuquerque because I attend UNM, and I am in fact close to being done with my bachelors degree. However, I'm not happy with the dating scene because the girls are always taken, and there are just about no single girls left, not to mention guys outnumber girls in this part of the country. I'm considering relocating east because girls outnumber guys there. I did a thread on relocating to Charlotte, North Carolina but I was recommended to not try there. What cities are easier for guys to get girlfriends than Albuquerque?
I heard Menver, Colorado has more single women than a few years ago.
Actually, Albuquerque has more single females than single men. There are plenty of single women, especially around UNM. I'm sorry you're having a hard time.
Not sure why you are having such a hard time, perhaps your standards are too high?
I'm married and have no desire for extra marital relationships at the moment, I've been hit on multiple times albeit usually by women I wouldn't consider even if I wasn't married.
If you are looking for an educated good looking successful woman then the pool is going to be smaller, a lot smaller actually, but they are out there.
It's hard everywhere, just have to be realistic and open to different possibilities and actually ready to date/commit. I'm married but have lived in many different cities - culturally diverse, large population, etc. It always seems better elsewhere but it really isn't. I met my spouse while we were actually living in different cities (introduced through a mutual friend, but practically living across the country). It took a lot of time/dedication (and frequent flyer miles), but we found our life partner in each other and didn't need to look further. Just depends on what your priorities are right now. I think Albuquerque is a good place for us as a couple. Good luck.

If I could down rate the **** out of this, I would.
ABQ is a decent size city, problems with finding attractive singles occur in small towns because the pond, so to speak, is too small. If you move to a smaller city, it will be much harder, rather than easier. Unless you are trying to date women that are out of your league, in which case a small city with few educated men might produce more desperate women that feel trapped--but I'd say that is a fairly awful way to look for a significant other.
Your best bet is to stick to the big cities and work on being the kind of person that would attract the partners you find most appealing. I'm happily married, and have no desire for other romantic relationships PERIOD. I got here by realizing what kind of man I needed to be so that the right woman would want to be with me.
If you are having a difficult time finding suitable women to date in a decent sized town with a huge university in it, while attending said huge university................. It probably is more of a reflection of your individual standards, then it does about actual opportunity.
Any town with a large university in any city/town in the entire country should have plenty of opportunities to find suitable potential partners of either sex. While some may be better then others, for people in your age range...... anyplace with large universities should suffice. Not sure what your individual trouble here in this town.
^agreed. When I was in college I had plenty of dating opportunities just on campus.
