Every truly great love story begins in a sleazy West Village bar of one kind or another. Congrats.

I lost my virginity in a threesome on the roof of a sleazy West Village bar. In broad daylight. When I was 14. None of the participants turned out to be my soulmate.

Lots of lonely people in general.

It's not the best place to develop meaningful relationships. Even for those who grew up here, a lot of my childhood friends eventually moved away from the area at some point.

He died the last day of 2018. Part of me wanted to go with him, still does.

We had maybe 5 tough arguments in a half century.

The title of this topic should reflect what the article clearly says possibility

Large cities suck for relationships.

Take it from the viewpoint of a Millennial, todays women have created an environment where men have noticed that they dont need to be in a relationship to have the possibility of having sex. What this did was negativity effect women who are not part of that hookup culture or sex work now searching high and low for that man to be in a relationship with. On the other side of that coin it created allot of men who are looking for a woman who havent done anything that will make him the laughing stock when he brings her to the holiday party, or introduce her to his friends/family. It is embarrassing when anyone can subscribe for $8.99 and see everything busted wide open.

To add to this searching for a soulmate what I have personally seen in many women including ones in my family is that when they are young they invest most of their time and energy chasing higher education and competitive careers but put little to no effort into a relationship. What the end result is what I see now for many of my fellow female Millennials and Gen X, they are in the office talking about dating apps because they have no clue where the single men are, or what the single men want.

Downloading dating apps and searching is very misleading as well.

But im just one individual, with 1 viewpoint. Take it from others, jump on youtube and see what others are saying about their experiences in their city when dating. If its a woman take note of their age, weight, any excessive tattoos that cant be easily covered, abnormal hair color, and if they use pronouns. If its a man take note of his height, hairline, body type, lifestyle, employment, what hes wearing. All this plays into when *searching* and what many fail to realize is that although they may find a person that meets that long list, whoever meets that list also have a list of their own.

Shout out to West Elm Caleb who proved what many men already know, women can search but when your the man that many women are looking for *height* then you dont have to choose one and can have them all on a rotation thinking they found that soulmate.

If anyone thinks NYC is bad for dating, Maimi and LA are crazy when it comes to competing to find a partner

Well said. Couldn't have said it better myself.

Dating in the 2020's is tough business. That is why gurus like Andrew Tate are more important than ever to help guide young people with dating and life decisions in this time of volatility and uncertainty.
