Well, I am 25 and from the midwest (Indiana) and have lived all over the country.. and Denver with no question where my heart is and will stay. I am single and its hard for me to go out cause due to a job I got out of that consumed my time out. There are plenty of singles here, and the great thing is that the girls here are very outdoorsy, very laid back, cool, easy to get to know, and awesome! You will always have some that don't belong here and those are the ones you speak of... my email is [EMAIL="linwacker@msn.com"]linwacker@msn.com[/EMAIL]... this is my first time on here. and for rubywaterfall you would be making a great choice moving here. its a hidden gem that more and more people keep finding out about. you should email me too and you will have a friend when you move here!

Hey, there Denverites (hope I got that right), I'm resurrecting this thread because I'm a single guy looking to relocate out of the Phoenix area which is a bit too "straight laced" for a guy like myself, and Denver is near the top of the list... but all this chatter I hear about Denver being a sausage festival / terrible place for single guys is causing a fair share of trepidation about me considering it. One of the big reasons for relocating is I'm at a place in my life/career where I'd like to date around more and try to meet the right person, and Arizona has proven in my case a really bum market. Def looking to upgrade here.

See, that's more my angle, if I have an angle (well, I retired the chain drive a while ago). While I've been reasonably successful in my career, I've never been one to thumb through the pages of GQ picking out my clothes. My grooming is fine, I'm just more of a muso/creative/"cool" type like you describe seeking my own level. Not sure if the denizens of City-Data have any appreciation for those of us with a bit more of an edge (we don't bite... unless you're into that), but paint me a picture of the area if you can.

From reading the online forums I have noticed many other single women like me moving to Denver for similar reasons...i.e. better place for singles, access to recreation, etc. Looks like there are slightly more men than women though..
From the 2000 census (for Denver proper):

61000 men, aged 25-35
52000 women, aged 25-35
ditto

100% agree with that. In my opinion go onto a dating service and do a search for what you like in a woman in Denver and see what is spit back.

DC was crawling with all types of women - from ultra ambitious ivy-lawyers, to punk rock/metal girls. But, it was tough meeting them. There were so many places to go and things to do that your dream girl could be living a block away, but you would never meet unless you happened to be in the same place. I would imagine that is true in most larger cities. I actually met my wife on Match - she lived about 10 miles away, which does not sound too far, but in DC it might as well be another timezone. Had it not been for Match we would never have met even though we both like a lot of the same things. We went out for four years and have been married for two. So, get on a dating site and have at it.

The dating scene in Denver is indeed terrible for men, just like every other tech hub city.

Jeez. Sounds awful. Wonder where it is I should go. I'm tired of being lonely.

I'd have no desire to move to an area where men so greatly outnumber women.


I'm looking for exactly the opposite situation.

The people who replied are the most grumpy, anti Denver folks on this board. Take it with a grain of salt.

I won't lie, it does feel like the odds are biased against you because there really is a gender gap. This means that online dating and other things like that are even less effective than elsewhere.

That being said, there is a big young population, so it should be reasonably easy to find people your age to hang out with. And the females that are there tend to be more fit, making them more attractive than some non-fit ones across the nation.

They are out there, it just takes more work to find them with the gender imbalance. That doesn't mean you won't find one or that it's a guarantee if you go to somewhere like DC.

I'm not single but if I was-I wouldn't be looking around in Denver. I have yet to see a man that completely makes me turn my head and I've been here 3 years...
