Dating : For people that live in the major cities of the US (LA, NYC, Boston, Seattle, etc.), what do you find to be the major differences between dating there and dating in far less “high-profile” areas of the US? And what personal experiences do you have that can help paint a picture?
This is something I always hear about, especially in regard to Los Angeles, but I always here this from celebrities and personalities of some level. I’d rather hear from ordinary people.
I live near Seattle and I went to college in the middle of nowhere. It was the biggest town in a 75 mile radius.
With that said, in my college days, a lot of the profiles that showed up were fitted to what I was looking for because we all had our school in common.
In/near Seattle, it’s harder to narrow down people you would actually be compatible with.
Pros of Seattle is that there are more people.
I prefer the bigger dating pool because there are a lot of people I can meet and see if we’re compatible.
I live in a small upstate New York city and there is what I describe as a crushing lack of educated, professional women that don’t already have kids.
I find that whenever I visit a large city I get 4-5 high quality Bumble matches within hours of being there. That’s more than I get in a month up here. Hell, I got matches just driving near Philly a few weeks ago. I can only imagine what a dating paradise NYC, Boston or DC is.
I used to live in a town of 50,000 and moved to a major city.
The quality of your potential partners is *way* higher in a big city. Even as an « ordinary » person, there’s just tons and tons of opportunities to meet incredible people.
The flip side to that is because everyone has options, things are a lot more casual.
