For example, I lived in Manhattan during the summer and I must have met around 10x the amount of ladies I meet here. I mean around 4-5 numbers per night and they were MUCH more attractive not to mention a billion times friendlier. I even got met a couple of models there

Then I go to Pittsburgh, I meet TONS of chicks there. And they are so much more homely, friendly, and attractive than chicks here.

California? Same exact deal, meet a bunch of chicks who are legitimately nice and friendly along with being extremely attractive.

Hawaii? I met a bunch of girls there too who are EXTREMELY FRIENDLY. and these are people who live there/natives.

Florida/Miami? Same thing

But in DC, its impossible. Not only is it IMPOSSIBLE to meet any chicks here, they are not even 1/8th as of attractive as the chicks in other places (no offense to any women reading this thread). On top of that, they are extremely cold and not friendly at all. When I was in NY and CA, gorgeous women would smile at me all the time on the street or start up conversations and just talk while waiting in line. Here? Everyone stares at the ground and gives you cold stares while not talking to you at all. I am also Italian, Indian, and Brazilian, so its even harder here because it seems as if white sticks to white, black to black, asian to asian, etc. Whereas it doesnt matter in those other places Ive been to, they actually enjoy it more the diversity.

Its like the goldmine for cold, unfriendly, mean people who are not nearly as attractive as they think they are.
Could it be because you're a "Never-Nude"? Joking.. I sympathize.

My guess is that since Washington DC is more into 'power' and 'prestige' and such, which is generally connected to their worklife. Which is also connected to age.

My guess is that you are competing with guys WAY above what you have to offer.

Whereas when you get into the other places, like L.A. and Miami and such...it is significantly less about power and prestige...and a lot more about physical appearance, cars, partying. So, I'd think a person in the mid-20s would be prime in those cities.

(That's if this is a serious post)

So what im getting from this thread and the recent responses is that a man in is early or mid 20's, unless he's some kind of prodigy he has no chance and should just buzz off and go away until he is 30?

I dont know, I mean I wear simple V-neck and jeans here whereas guys are dressing up and looking like it took them 2 hours to get ready. I guess that look isnt so successful here because it really worked in Cali and NY.

Well I said this once and ill say it again, there isnt much diversity in what type of man a woman is attracted to in DC. No one is checking for the man on the come up, you need to already be on top when you come to DC, thats a lesson ive learned the hard way unfortunatly.

I can say that power isn't the only thing women go for. Most on here know I have a blue-collar job. I don't make a lot of money at all and have no complaints about the area. The way some of you talk, I can see why you have problems. You think every woman should flock to you.

Racial Stereotyping is bad, kids as these graphics show:

Basically. And the sad thing is that thanks to this economy, DC is one of the few places where a person can even find a job that will build up his resume. However, despite plenty of females on the same level, most will only consider those on the "top of their game" or those who already have a gf. Or you could be a tool and become some MTV/BET socially constructed image like a yuppie, hipster, playa, or gangsta, and act like we're still in middle school, considering that's the average maturity level of most young people here, and to be blunt, the aforementioned role is basically what "having game" amounts to in DC.

My honest suggestion is to just build your resume, save your money, and when you get the chance, move to one of the places where you were received much better. You mentioned that you received better attention in NYC, so in the meantime, make some frequent inexpensive weekend trips via Megabus/Boltbus to the Big Apple in order to boost your morale and quite frankly keep your sanity. I just went to California for a vacation, and had a similar experience of getting a lot more positive attention from females, and just better treatment from people in general, especially while in San Diego, as well as from San Francisco natives, and even from people in LA. And make sure you do it before your late twenties so you can compensate for lost time without looking like some old creep who hasn't "grown up" and still wants to party it up with young girls.

I will say this, chicks in the south more easily impressed (not that I agree with you guys assessment of D.C. women cause I don't). Put a picture of yourself in suit on your profile and update your occupation and chicks from undergrad and high school will come out the woodwork trying to find you.. SMH..
