Whats dating like in AZ

[gyrlonfilm]

I am cracking up at all these responses. I agree with ScottsdaleMark.

It all comes with age I guess. You have to go through the motions with dating, but honestly, I am now of the mind of letting things happen as God has them happen.

That's a completely different discussion and you have to be someone that has faith that there really is someone out there for everyone.

Didn't mean to go off track, there's a lot more I can say......but good luck to that young lady.

Get settled, make friends, find communities to which you want to belong, and give yourself time to evaluate your options. That advice applies to anywhere, though.

I tend to agree. However, I've found it just as hard, if not harder, to make friends here (at least ones with a social circle including single women), than it is to date. At least online dating has thrown me a bone once a year or so.

Or roll up a wad of Benjamins and felate them. Seems like how it works around here.

I'm a 29 y/o male from San Diego, transferred to ASU (WP Carey) from a university in Orange County, and bought a house literally one minute away from Old Town Scottsdale. Some of these generalizations are a bit too extreme. However, some are also spot on and realistically will apply almost anywhere else you go.

Old Town Scottsdale: a lot of fun bars, some excellent restaurants and some of the douchiest people I've ever met. I love the area as a whole and the cost of living can't be beat -- obviously this is subjective but coming from SoCal, you can't argue with that. Like I said, the bars are great, though there's a lot of turnover (ie. one location can be three different bars over the course of just a year) but you'll likely need a group of people to go out with in order to enjoy them. It's not really an area you'd want to go out by yourself because you absolutely will get hit on (which is great for some and horrible for others) by a lot of the "same" guys. Tons of trust fund kids, and by kids I mean 28-35 y/o, who frequent Old Town every...single...weekend. You WILL see the same groups of people repeatedly if you go out all the time. I have friends who work in Old Town that joke about how all the bars stay open due to the same 50 people, etc.

It's an awesome time when you have friends visit from out of town but you'll definitely want to see what else the valley has to offer or you'll tire of it quickly. In general, Old Town isn't the place you move in order to look for that successful "has his **** together" type of guy. You can find them but the vast majority will be there to get drunk and get laid. Conversely, the vast majority of women that go out are fake looking, love getting blacked out and are looking for the same thing you are.

That being said, I still love living in Old Town. I love being centrally located and going out is a great time because the majority of younger adults will/do go to Old Town, so I always have an easy option. You can walk/bike around when the weather allows and there are some great hikes and an awesome dog park nearby. Overall, it has a very safe/clean feel and Spring Training is a blast even if you're not into baseball. If you can limit going out in Old Town to 1-5x per month, I bet you'd have a great time. Again, if you go out constantly, you will see the same people and types of people and likely get over it pretty quickly. <------ this is the part that will apply almost anywhere you go. When I lived in San Diego (downtown, PB, Carlsbad) there was almost no difference outside of the obvious: weather and beach.

Interesting. How is dating for a mid 30's male? Is the ratio that bad? I'd like to settle down soon.
