They will if you have money or if you have game.

By all means, prove me wrong, and advise the OP. He needs the inside scoop on dating in Houston.

Did you have trouble dating in the Bay Area? If so, there is something else at work here.

I would assume that to be the number one reason for moving from the Bay Area.

She has many guys after her so how do you beat the competition?
If there are hundreds of guys after her everyday than who does she pick?

What has been your experience so far?
I fit this description and there's not 100 guys vying for my attention. Quit worrying about your competition and figure out what makes you the best candidate for this woman to date.

Yes, several are single, and they're all under 5'5". But I wasn't offering to set you up, I was just giving examples. There are women like that all over the Bay Area, and they're looking for guys in a decent career who's intelligent, at least halfway stylish, presentable, and funny. You just have to get out and mingle, get involved in groups, activities, organizations, sports, whatever.

OP, you've been on this forum a long time. What have you been doing all this time to meet women?
I was in I.T but I have my own business now. There are generally more women volunteering than men I think.

Why are they single then? Perhaps, the same reason I am single.

I am no longer in the Bay Area.

I was busy with my business all that time.

Right. Anyone I know from Bay Area that moved out was the Cost of Living issue. If Bay Area was as cheap as the South than California's population would outnumber the total in the USA.

They are checking you out left and right though. If you are in a match making site than you are getting lot of messages. I am pretty sure there are hundreds of guys who want to go out with you.
