How's the single life in Denver? (Colorado Springs, Fort Collins: real estate, neighborhood, prices)

I won't speak for Skydog, but me personally, I've been REALLY open minded about women whilst living here, and I'm not really the type to dwell too much on stereotypes anyway. ¯\(°_o)/¯ Not all bleachy blondes are dumb and uninteresting. But, that's only my half of the equation. Women avert eye contact with me around here, and the vacuum of space has more going on than my dating profiles. I get the hint that I'm out of my element here. I'll preferably float around somewhere with more Alissa White-Gluz types if were picking:

I'm going with Denver blows for single guys... seems to be the overwhelming opin on this forum and a few others. It's off my list. Too bad, I dig it otherwise, but I'm not really interested in the #ForeverAlone lifestyle.

Why do you say you're out of your element? I'm sure there's a woman out there for every man in most metropolitan areas. I will say that the single women in Colorado have it made for them, it's a paradise in selection of single men out there.

If I'm picking between a porn star and a badass skier, climber, kayaker, I'm definitely going the latter. That said, I'm happily married to a girl I met in Denver. If you're in to porn stars though, I'm happy for you. I will say that this whole Arizona thing is becoming much more clear now. Good luck meeting her.

Experience (or lack thereof experiences). I mean, I tend to agree with what you're positing, but ferreting that proverbial "one" out on long odds can eat up precious years of your life... and I ain't getting any younger.

Don't feel bad, I'm 31, and my prospects for finding a woman are becoming more grim each year. The single life is lonely in my opinion.

I find it funny the amount of single women who are swarming Denver, Colorado Springs and other parts of the front range.

Parts of Denver remind me of Scottsdale where it is overwhelmingly females out and about.

I wonder if they are moving to Colorado because the state has a reputation of having lots of males as opposed to females. That might have been the case before, but that is certainly not the case now.

I went by 32nd and Tejon on a bus and it seemed like it was only women eating on patio's.

In the gentrified areas of Denver it is rare to see a single male just go to that area to have coffee, restaurant or shopping. It is mainly females in these areas.

When I ever I go anywhere in Colorado except Boulder and the ski-resort counties a vast majority of the people I am around are women.

I used to go to Glendale and see lots of guys around, but now it's mainly women.

It seems like the only heavy concentration of guys is in the ski-resort counties and the city of Boulder.

If you like what Denevr has to offer, you're much more likely to find a woman who likes the same things in Denver. Just a guess.

I does seem like the majority of new transplants under 30 are women. There are also many straight couples moving here as well.

They don't call it "Menver" for no reason, it really does seem there is a woman shortage here. What I mean is, women that are in-shape and NOT already taken are few and far between. On the other hand, I see plenty of guys around here who are in-shape 8's and 9's in terms of looks, yet I notice they have an overweight girlfriend/wife or the girlfriend/wife is much lower on the scale (4-6.5 range) compared to the looks of the guy.

One of the many reasons I've been researching a FL re-location lately (lower cost of living is the *main* one), at least down there you got beaches, girls, etc. Being a Hispanic male myself, I can see myself fitting right in down there. Also the close proximity to Latin American countries and the Caribbean is a plus for even more dating prospects.

If we're talking single life, you really have to go where the women are plentiful (coastal areas, warmer climates, popular cities, etc). I personally know a few guys from my HS class of 2005 who can attest to this, they moved out west to Cali/LA area and couldn't be happier w/ their dating prospects, 2 of them are married already. Another one has been in a 4-year LTR and he seems happy last I spoke to him.

Just like with good jobs, quality women seem to be mostly location location location. If there are no suitable women around, it seems you just have to pack up your things and go to where they are, simple as that.
