Funny, I have a good friend who moved here from LA 4 years ago. He is single and dates a lot. Says dating here is much better for him than it was in LA. He's 40. YMMV.

What do you mean when you say narrow and pathetic? Serious question. I had no problems with dating when I first moved here. I am married now thanks to the good dating scene but maybe it was different at that time.

Let's just say I seem to "click" with attractive women from SoCal personality wise over transplants from the Midwest in Denver. There's just something about coastal people that I relate better to.

And people who don't conform to that are narrow and pathetic?

The very definition of narrow and pathetic is moving to a new city, finding that the hotties are not like the ones you are used to in LA, then calling them narrow and pathetic.

Good luck wherever you land! I spend a lot of time in Vegas for work. People there are much more in to what they drive and which designer they are wearing than which mountains they've climbed. You might want to check it out. It's not less narrow and pathetic though. Just your kind of narrow and pathetic.

You must have blinders on...y'know, narrowing your view...because Coloradans do have many other interests besides those involving mountains. You can't blame locals for admiring natural beauty, either, and that includes mountains.

And to think that I thought everyone in Colorado was just smoking pot and having a blast on top of the mountains all the time...

No. Too busy being narrow and pathetic.

Then why is it then, I want to say like 50-75% of all dates I go on off the apps the question always comes up as "So what do you do up in the mountains?" My response as of lately is the following:

1. Earlier this year, I was moving unexpectedly between jobs and didn't want to loose clients so I didn't have time to go snowboarding.

2. The weather conditions for winter sports were bad because we had a mild winter. There was no point in trying to wake up on a weekend to battle traffic to look for conditions that were on par with the weak conditions that make up much of the East Coast.

3. My job takes priority, and lately I don't have time to be exploring mountains when I need time to unwind and sleep.

4. I'm not waking up at 5am on a Saturday to do a 14er.


When I'm pretty frank (and/or slightly critical about these factors) I immediately get backlash. I don't think it's fair when I put work first and I know many who get out and explore the mountains when they have jobs they can manage around it - teaching, nursing, freelance etc.

Working for a living is not pathetic, but jumping to conclusions when not understanding my whole situation is, yes "NARROW AND PATHETIC." Go figure it out.
