I'm convinced that the men where I live are just not looking for long term relationships. I'm tired of being single and alone. I've tried online dating, speed dating, meet ups, etc to try to meet eligible, single men here to no avail.
I don't know if I'd have better luck in a different city? Is it a geographic thing? Are there cities where the men are more likely to want relationships and families? I don't have any ties here, so it wouldn't be a big deal to leave.
Any insight on this? or am I just non-dateable?
I don't know if its such a good idea to move for a relationship. What if you encounter the same thing when you relocate?
I would just stay put and have a little patience.
No offense, but maybe you are putting out the wrong vibe? I strongly DO NOT believe that there are ONLY non-dateable men in the entire area you live in (Denver). It seems you are just meeting the wrong ones.

OMG I feel the same way.. do you live in a rural area.by any chance? There are hardly any decent guys around this area. I'm being abit picky as well I realise this.
Im going to be direct, it has nothing to do with where you live, but everything to do with you or your behavior. Fix that, or you will end up moving and finding yourself in exact same predicament. There are men looking for what you wnat, anywhere on this globe.
Yeah, where do you live, and what kinds of reactions are you getting, if you don't mind saying? Is it that they're not interested, or you're not interested in some of them? Mutual interest is hard to find.
My observation is that people in coastal CA are the friendliest. It might have something to do with the casual beach culture, or the general informality of the place, idk. But I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, and I've lived in other states, and everywhere else people are very reserved by comparison.
I'm not sure your age range, but I'm in Denver too. Let me tell you, the dating situation here is MUCH better than in most cities. More men than women, for one thing. My friends in NYC are having a terrible time in the dating arena. But NYC is a bad example: You have an unusually high proportion of super-beautiful women (models/actresses, not to mention the superwealthy) and more women than men. So as a result, perfectly lovely normal women go unpaired because the guys can get the trophy chicks much more easily. At least that's my take.
I don't think the situation is going to improve outside of Denver, honestly. My dating scenario has improved immensely, just because the numbers game is much better for me.
No, I live in Denver. Not rural at all. I don't think I'm picky, per se, but there are things I don't want.

I agree with this about NYC.
Honestly, my dating situation in New Orleans was perfect! I was in college and plenty of college-aged men to go around. Between Tulane, Loyola, UNO, LSU, Xavier, Dillard, SUNO....
Atlanta, more single women then men...and plenty of married couples...
New York City/New Jersey....Men have their choices of very beautiful women...they don't stay faithful...not commited..
I would think that if you are in a rural area then moving might be a good idea but since you are in a decent-sized metro I would say stay put and try changing things up a bit. As was alluded to earlier, perhaps it's something about you that is making the situation difficult.
