Why is it inherently bad? I think the median age here is like 32. The odds seem to be perfectly in your favor.

Then who do you want to date Associate?

It's better for young people (18 to 25), and men (I see more men dating up, women dating down)

Good luck!

Expand your pool by dating online nationally. I’m getting married in September and me and my girl live states away. We clicked tho and I was looking for a few years so it took patience and a solid understanding of what I was really looking for.

All in all, don’t limit yourself. Don’t close doors, keep ‘em open.

No, just expand the miles away filter. And then filter for the attributes you seek (I.e. spirituality, education level, etc.). You’ll see folks who meet that criteria but only downside is that they are far away.

You’ll either meet a sweet and charming conservative/moderate from Texas or a stuck-up coastal elite liberal from NY/CA

Austin isn’t like NYC or SF in that regard. Good luck

Those folks in NYC/SF say they want to settle down but don’t really, otherwise they would be settled down in a place like Austin.

There are dudes 40 and above still hitting up Rainey every night. I think you’re good. May not get commitment though.

To answer your question, Austin dating is really bad. There is a huge party culture that is nonstop. The dating apps are horrible, everyone seems paralyzed by paradox of choice and/or is afraid of commitment. If you have friends in Austin, assimilate into that group and try to stay off the apps so you can meet someone organically. And if you want to grab coffee with a 36M East Coast transplant with a good head on his shoulders, strong family values and ready to settle down, and well educated with a good career path, shoot me a DM 😉
