Fair enough. I’ve only ever been a dating adult in San Diego, so I would not know what other dating markets are like in comparison. I will say, I have a friend who is gorgeous, but over 30 and a virgin. Always had trouble finding a guy in SoCal. Moves to Florida and has a smoking hot committed boyfriend within a month who is perfectly ok with her being a virgin and waiting til marriage. He’s also not a virgin himself or overly religious. That would literally never happen here unless they were a hardcore churchgoer

Avoid dating military dudes out there. They’ll knock you up then get restationed to Tokyo or somewhere else. I’ve seen it happen a LOT!

Young servicemen will do and say anything to get the d!ck wet. If you go to bars and clubs downtown, they’ll go in uniform to get attention that way.

I’ve seen it happen to countless friends from high school and college—navy dude/marine in a muscle car sweet talks them, nails them, then bounces. It’s even easier to bounce if they’re on ship and/or sub duty as they’re on deployment for six months at a time. And when in deployment, they’re not being faithful for anything.

Not saying it’s all of them, but it’s like that for a lot of them. Hence the stereotype.

Thanks everyone! Sounds like it’s the same when it comes to commitment issues/the military but at least the men are good looking 😅

I've been dating guys in SD but never had I found my perfect match. Nobody is really serious in taking commitments. I'm 25 and I really want to be in a serious relationship right now. Lol. Most guys in SD prioritize career and business, based on my experience and I am not speaking for the general bachelors in the area.

Be very careful. Most men here just prefer situationships and nothing serious. You have to set boundaries and make things clear from the very start.

There’s quite a few attractive men here with good paying jobs who drive nice cars, but they’re not on dating apps so you have to find a way to meet them while you’re out. I’m in law school so it’s difficult to do this, because I’m basically dating the library already. However, there are loads of attractive men in San Diego. I personally don’t like Pacific Beach, but there a lot of hot guys there, whether they’re down for a relationship is a separate issue but they are hot lol.

Some men to avoid: military men, and policemen.

I was in DC for the summer and the dating apps were even dryer than here, and I didn’t see any guys my age when I went out, so you’ll probably have more luck here!

More men in their 20s to early 30s then women in SD

Love all the blanket statements about military men and men in general in SD. I think just do things you enjoy like hiking, going to the beach, etc. Get to know people, make friends see where it goes from there. As someone who has been in the military and a guy in SD, I can just leave you with this: the odds of finding your life partner in a bar is not in your favor.

So, this is a little awkward, but I recently moved to SD for a fresh start, and honestly, I love this city. My problem is I have been more of a homebody since I moved here and I'm a little intimidated to go out and meet people because I don't feel like I fit in here. I am overweight and this city is full of active, and attractive people. I guess I am wondering what my experience would be if I got out more? I feel like people look at me when I'm in public because I stand out due to my size.
