Idk man, I'm a 26 year old guy and there are almost always more men in my age group than women at the bars. It's not the worst by any means, Denver or San Jose are worse, but it's no cake walk either.

Granted, for the OP this shouldn't be a big deal, he will have a good salary and can get a good place.

OP, I would seriously consider a visit to Deep Ellum (east of downtown) on your visit here. There are an increasing number of apartment options and it's currently the liveliest part of town. It went through a rough time a few years back but now it's roaring back to life. Check it out on a weekend.

The New, Interactive Singles Map.


Move the slider to 20-29 or 20-34 and see the lopsided sex ratio of singles in Metro Dallas, and pretty much everywhere in the U.S.

Those hoards of single women are likely to be overly fussy.

Like a jail sentence, I did my time in Uptown and found it laughably lacking. There's a lot of attitude, a lot of pretending and far too many people trying to convince you that SMU is some kind of big deal.

While Uptown is safe and well-manicured, it's not all that interesting. Coming from Boston, you will be bored with it.

I'd take some suggestions on other city locations mentioned.

I mean, you can always go to the Shops at Legacy and meet bored and/or divorced suburban moms lol

Actually, OP, please do not do that....... or do, if thats your thing.

I laughed pretty hard at that one! Very nice!

I have preferred to date younger women and women who are childless. So the suburban locales, such as the bars at The Shops at Legacy, have not been my places to meet women.

LOL yeah, me too. Not opposed to going out with a mom in principle or anything, but to be perfectly honest alot of the time there is alot of baggage that comes with that.

Bumble and Happy hour are my go to.

Dallas is a mondo sausage fest. Atlanta is way better for dating if you are a guy.
