| 5 to 1 ratio of women to men in Vancouver
Posted: 10/5/2009 9:47:39 AM | I moved to Victoria in June from Edmonton ,Alberta ( which has apparently been dubbed ed"man"ton ) ....but that said I cannot say I notice a difference. I am a 40 yr old single woman and there seems to be plenty of men here.......
Differences I do notice are more related to the way people act and such here. I find that materialism is not as big a deal here as in Edmonton and fitness IS a bigger deal. I would have to say that while the men in Edmonton have big expensive trucks and money to burn ...they are not as active , fit or outdoorsy as men in Victoria. Women in Edmonton as well are much more about the bling and appearance. My observation here is that women are more laid back and into a more natural earthy low maintenance look..and again seem a bit more focused on fitness
just what I have noticed in the 4 months I have been here
ohhh and I will say this .....Victoria is very white ...I was surprised. I come from a place where there is so much ethnic diversity that it surprised me here because the population is very different ...and while I love the ocean and the climate , I do miss the flavor that have so much mixture brings... | |

A few people have said that Victoria is the 'Satanist capital of BC'. Apparently that's where their headquarters is. I wonder if this has any bearing to why Victoria is very white. Maybe the Satanists are sacrificing all the ethnic people.  | |

Posted: 10/5/2009 10:31:49 PM | I have not yet crossed paths with any Satanists lol but I do know why the nationality base is different in some regard to the larger cities to the east ....
Victoria ( and the island ) is small for one thing population wise and unlike Vancouver and Edmonton there is simply not enough reason to draw them here. I think that when you immigrate to a new country you will likely go where there is a support system for you with family and people who have had similar circumstances ....I know Edmonton is very culturally diverse and supportive and it is very cool to experience all the different cultures it has and that many of the large Canadian cities have.
Victoria has a different flavor - not better or worse just different ..which is the point right , we don't want everywhere to be the same - lots of Scottish and Irish and men in kilts have been spotted here  even if they have 5 women to every one man chasing them ( altho the jury is out on the accuracy of the thread )
I am of mixed race and so far no satanists have been chasing me  | |

Posted: 10/5/2009 11:04:34 PM | It never dawned on me how white Victoria was until I moved to Vancouver. Maybe it was because I grew up somewhere that was far more white.
And that Victoria rumor is because of the book "Michelle Remembers" , google it if you want to know more. | |

Posted: 10/5/2009 11:32:55 PM | Thanks MWI - cool - I read up on it - very creepy ^^^^
I think the poster before me and who quoted me was offended and was making reference to my status as a pagan though ( which people still like to try associate with something dark ) ...however my statement about Victoria not having much ethnic mix was NOT at all meant to be at all negative. I loved the culture and diversity of the cities i lived in previously and just noticed it not as present here ...
any way probably enough said as not to take away from original thread subject | |

Posted: 10/26/2009 11:07:56 AM | If there are 5 women to every guy in Vancouver someone has taken my share 
Re: the comment on people in BC being more fit is because we get better weather out here than ab. If you look at the world as a whole any place that has hot weather people are generally fitter and thinner. For example you look at the spanish in South America and the people of Florida compared to those in inlands southern states. Now thinking about it maybe places that have a lot of beaches make the difference. | |

Wild horses could not drag me back to Edmonton. I am in LOVE with Victoria. It may seem strange to say this on a dating website but I am content to be single. I did not come here looking for a man .....and that said if I was really looking ....trust me...there are plenty of men here. I get a lot of messages and in my travels around Victoria the male population is just fine ...lots of err ..sightes to look at
It only takes one anyway  | |

Posted: 10/29/2009 3:48:43 AM | i hear you Q on all levels. edmonchuk is a boring shitehole as all of us who have lived there can attest. victoria, on the other hand, is my hometown and i can say (as a humble appreciator of beauty as expressed by the male form in art (and yelling out the back door from time to time while shaking fist) that victoria has more women to men ratio and a high gay pop. i love the gay guys but if you're a heterosexual girl who likes guys that cuts the "available men in victoria" stats down to diddly. then comes the affliction of "island man". island man wears hiking books, running shoes, and outerwear from some co-op store (great if you're camping) and that's IT! island man likes hiking and biking and ****ing about "the big smoke" (vancouver). island man suffers from a common island affliction - the belief that anyone else actually CARES about what goes on in victoria LOL!!! too much trouble for a bunch of self-righteous guys in trainers and ponytails who don't trim their pubes. Life of Brian re-runs, anyone? Puleeeeeaaase....

And Mrs. Worse Then Ever... The venom of your posts! The remorselessness of your writing! The scorching heat of your words! The fire in your eyes! Oh! The confidence in your posture. Oh my... I don't think I've been this smitten while at the same time had a palpable fear for my self esteem.

Posted: 10/30/2009 11:00:30 PM | | And as well, Vancouver has the earliest spring every year in the whole counrty which seems to last until late in the summer and tends to work against men who are sincerely looking for more than just sex but a lasting relationship. I now understand why so many in the GVA have a problem differentiating love from lust. Sex, by the way is a commodity that can be bought, especially in Vancouver. Love on the other hand needs to be intentionally nurtured and few have the patience to go through the whole dance from first glance to first kiss. If you do not have the patience to spend Enough time in courtship but rush straight to the mattress you may never experience Love. And That Is a Grand Loss. Love cannot be bought anywhere on this planet. Not even in Vamvouver. Sorry. | |

hmmm maybe, people are a commodity, and sex is seen as a service :)
especially in Vancouver
Vancouver, or in other parts of the Globe, especially?
Love on the other hand needs to be intentionally nurtured
*agree with intentionally nurtured, with Love as the goal. 
no one really is happy feeding a lovable and friendly deadbeat forever
** well I don't know about that for sure ..... maybe I wouldn't mind feeding a lovable and friendly deadbeat... as long as they came when called and wagged their tail in just the right way! | |
