Woman’s perspective interested in men: You really have to dig deep to find someone who is interested in a relationship. When I was in the dating scene(about 2 years ago) it was slim pickings…. Not sure what the pool of available women looks like.

If you’re not interested in a relationship, there’s a lot of fun people. If you interested in someone who has post grad degree— there’s a bunch of medical students.

Don’t use the league… wasn’t worth the time imo when I was on it. I met my bf on hinge.

Good luck!

That may be a bit of an over-generalization, depending on your age and what you’re specifically looking for (other than a relationship).

I can say when I was a single male in my 20s living in DC, it was definitely a buyer’s market for me. The ratio of single women:men was definitely skewed in my favor, and a not insignificant number of single men were fratty tech bros or lobbyists looking to hit it and quit it. That said, I think the DC dating scene in general is plagued by the transient nature of the population of young professionals. Few move to DC expecting to put down roots and start a family, they go for a few valuable years of job experience and then move on. With that in mind it’s not surprising why many (women included) don’t approach the DC dating scene looking for a forever partner.

Depends are you a woman or a man? Do you care that your significant other have a college degree?

As I understand it, due to the significantly lower COL there are a lot more younger adults in blue collar career fields and getting by working service industry jobs. Which could either increase or decrease your odds. I also don’t think the area has as much of a female bias, that is it’s a lot closer to a 50/50 split unlike the DC area which is a single dude’s paradise.

Just moved here, no luck 🤣

How do you deal with a manager / junior partner who is always nitpicking and questioning why you did what you did, or telling you what you did is the wrong way to do things? It’s generally prefaced with them only doing this to help you grow, but has the exact opposite effect on me. And then when you try to explain your POV, you’re tagged as being defensive. Generally ends me with saying I’m sorry. No other partners at the firm have ever raised any concerns on my communications or work product.
