I've lived in both cities and if anything I'd guess that the pool would be better quality in DC than NYC. It seems more socially acceptable to be single much longer in NYC and there are many more distractions that would make marriage less appealing on the margin.
First off anyone single over say age 35, by choice, divorce, widowed is damaged in some way, accept that and it gets easier.
Second shift to the burbs
36, single by choice, never married, no kids, two dogs, no damage, content I suppose, just haven’t met anyone worth my time and peace of mind.
People move out of DC after their 20s and venture out to Arlington/NoVA or Bethesda
Except I’m as chocolate as chocolate city circa 1980s so don’t you Karen me 🤣
I don't think moving cities is going to change anything. If you can't find someone in a city as diverse and interesting as DC, you might need to do some introspection
NY single people are worse imho
We crossed the river into NoVa. Come join the dark side
Oh shit nvm, you said "normal." Oops

Come back too!
You are looking for normal people but you want to move back to NY to find them?
Finding it difficult to find friends in this city. (From NY)
I would like to join as well!
DC people are uptight and uppity. Left 4 months ago and love being around normal people.
I like it better.
You probably already swiped left on your soulmate and shouldn’t be complaining
✋Single person in their 30s in DC here!
Half of Long Island, NY is that way.
Not really. Wife and I recently left DC for Arlington and are in our late 30s. It’s a young city and a lot of people seem to move out within a few years of being married. Most our city friends at this point are a good bit younger than us and the single ones while fun are also maniacs.
This is the most accurate take.
We do, just all the singles hang out spots are full of younger folks who hit on you until they hear your age then crabwalk away. I can’t speak for everyone else, but when you’re burned out that’s the last vibe you’re looking for, so I tend to stay in.
Every population has outliers
I had lots of great dates and met my partner in my 30s in DC. I actually think DC is a great city to date in - full of younger folks with causes they are passionate about.
