That peanut butter thing, chunky or nutty -- HILARIOUS!
And I agree with you totally -- I think we all have kind of a template in our heads of what we are looking for and some things can vary, and some things cannot. | |

Posted: 8/16/2007 6:41:27 PM | All I know is that the guys in WA are a 100 times better both in personality & in looks compared to Nevada (Las Vegas) so I'm not going to complain and if there are more single guys then women -just another bonus for me moving; I'm not going to complain!  | |

Posted: 8/17/2007 10:10:54 AM | | I get lots of women to respond, but after a few messages they quit writing. Many say that they are so overwhelmed by the messages they get from men that they just give up on answering most of them. A great many of the women even my age (58 ) get so many messages from younger men that they won't even consider anyone over 35 or 40. That's what they are telling me anyway. Dates were a lot easier to find in Louisiana. | |

Posted: 9/18/2007 12:14:31 AM | You asked for any theories to explain that you saw that there were a lot more guys than women in the Seattle area (20,000 you say). Could be because guys are following the jobs which are coming to the area in greater numbers than women are. Nationally there are more men overall, and up to a certain age, but I think around 50 it tips the other way (yeah us guys die younger). Kind of like a gold rush economy now though, and a lot of new jobs in Seattle. Does that make sense to anyone?
Anyway, about the mail order bride thing that everyone is talking about, I think that there are a lot of cultural and language barriers that a guy would definitely need to be sensitive to. And, of course, there's always the chance she is playing the guy, intending to claim she is being abused, get a restraining order and "maintenance", and find a guy she really likes. (Washington state won't deport her if she claims abuse). Guys just need to really get to know whomever they are thinking about getting serious about, mail order or not.
Like one poster said, it's not what they look like, but how they treat you (OK, she said this right after saying how hot the guy she was with was, but it's true anyway). Problem is that I've found that there are a lot of women out there with poor self esteem, and they don't treat anyone very good (their selves included). Probably has something to do with weight, but I don't want to even touch that one. Regardless, it makes the "shortage" even worse. | |

Should try to see things from a womans perspective. | |

I wonder how many are ridiculously dedicated computer industry guys? Hmm... but most of my fellow engineers at work are married... but then we are a Unix shop. At our shop, have lives and don't due that crazy 14 hrs a day stuff the Microsofties are prone towards.
Being in the tech industry, this is likely a factor. At least for me. When working in other industries there were a lot more dating opportunities.
For instance, when I was in sales there were a number of young women in the office that would go out with their friends every night after work. It was easy to join up from time to time and meet some interesting girls in a relaxed setting (meaning non-date). Met a and dated a lot of great girls, one I almost married.
Since moving to the tech industry, the number of non-uber-geek women is nearly nill. So those same opportunities are almost non-existant.
Add in the long hours, high levels of stress and you have some strung out, out of shape, geeky dudes that have a hell of a time getting a date with your typical girl.
Maybe I'm way off base. All I know is that since I became single in Washington.. getting a simple e-mail response from a single girl has been like pulling teeth and getting a date setup even harder. Meeting a fun girl in California was a heck of a lot easier that it is up here!

Posted: 11/7/2007 9:54:22 PM | | I always thought that the high number of single men in the area was due to all the military bases we have near by, or maybe thats just my perspective from Lakewood. | |

Posted: 11/19/2007 12:38:22 AM | | Well, I'm from the east originally. With that, I've found that there's been more dates to go on out here. I think it may be job wise, or at least with my job field, the cities in the east seem to have bigger opportunities for it. Not to mention other factors, such as maybe people are more into dating and marrying later out here. | |

Posted: 11/25/2007 6:49:52 PM | Okay if that statistic is right? where do you guys go fishing besides here? I think there are a lot of people just living life waiting to bump into that right person. I would be really intreested in finding out what ages the gap is in. I have a feeling there are more single young guys. There seems to be a lack of late 30's to early 40's. Especially when you look on these sites. | |

Posted: 11/25/2007 9:41:31 PM | | Like getting a decent job here in WA, I hear networking is parhaps the best solution to solving your dating problems. Native Seattle folk here are pretty close with their friends and really keep their circle closed to others unless they have a friend who knows a friend who would click well with their other friends. My brother says its how he met his last two G/F, he knew someone who knew someone. | |
