Being a guy: One thing that struck me weird about Denver (and being there this past weekend) is that there are a surprising amount of girls who are attractive and approachable - yet VERY flighty. Maybe that's because a lot of them are front the Midwest and IMHO, seems to be a theme.

The bright side: lots of chill ppl to have conversations with - which can expand you're network. Nobody holds preconceptions - especially when everyone at a bar is drunk and smoking pot and/or cigarettes

Looking at the hotter girls that were dating lackluster guys even at the airport - it gives a sign that the competiton is easy. That is unless Midwest chicks prefer overweight/bearded guys...?

Midwest women are only "flighty" when they are scared.

I typically see bearded dudes in Denver hanging out with other bearded dudes and sometimes non-bearded dudes.

The only hot women I see in Denver are either getting into or out of their boyfriends German made car on their way to/from an establishment I can't afford.

It is VERY easy to make friends in Denver.

Ditto lol. It wasn't that I kept getting rejected, or they didn't like me, or that they were all fat, or they weren't my type, it's just that they weren't available, at least without a ring on their finger and a guy by their side.

I'll probably be back up there in a month or so, I'll see if it's better, but it felt like chance encounters were stacked against 20's single straight males.

And there's my tinder experiment, when frustrated that I couldn't get any female matches (like 1 every 100 and they flaked or were ugly cause I only swiped right), I switched it to males and got 50 out of 100 right swipes as matches...

So it can feel like Menver sometimes.

I don't use Tinder, but from the sounds, its like a bro fest on that website. People just looking for friends and women with FWB.

Go to Meetup groups, specifically events catered towards singles. That's where I met my GF.

I probably will use that, but when I checked when I used it last, it was still like 15 guys per girl when you could see the who's going thing. It's nice to get connections and all, but they STILL are heavily male dominated. It's probably better than nothing though.

I agree that some of the groups/events can be daunting due to the male:female ratio. But truth be told, IME it's rather easy to stick out. Many of the guys who show up are just socially awkward as can be. Go in with a positive, confident attitude, and I think you'll have a relatively easy time.
