14th street is all 25 year olds and under so I would say Shaw area (9th and 7th) streets, petworth, noma, and some bars in Columbia heights.

Also 29/M and single here :)

Also if SC1 is implying what I think... ignore him/her. Things happen at all ages. I've known people to meet SOs close to 40 and also just found out from a friend who married shortly after college that they're getting divorced now. Just focus on your own journey.

DD1 completely disagree on the ages. I find older crowds at 14th than Shaw

Thanks for validating OP, thought I was taking crazy pills for a second. If you liked Barcelona, similar scenes can be found at Bar Pilar, Blackjack, or Capo

14th street has the best upside for making real connections in my experience. A bit more hook up vibe on U or in AdMo.

Barcelona is literally only 24 year old basic girls

DD1 you're so wrong about Barcelona. I was there tonight and at the weekend and the average age was about 33. It's a great venue.

Anywhere that people can recommend that is similar or has a similar demo?

Shaw..... idk I'm a 25 m and no one I knows goes out there. To answer the question there is no 30yr old "scene" in D.C. Everybar will be a mix.
Some older crowds in certain Georgetown bars
Cafe Milano or 4 seasons and a few wine bars.

I'm also 30F single but not a fan of meeting people in bars. I find intentions are too broad in spectrum there for me...I say for me I have had friends meet their SOs while out at bars. Friends of friends are another option but I think it really comes down to luck sometimes as to who is where when and what they're looking for at the time.

@BCG1 really? Which bars? Outside of maybe garden district, many of them get kinda clubby at night.

Also @M1 hiii! 🙋🏻‍♂️

When's the last time you went?

A year ago 😅

Thanks BCG1

The internet

Anyways @OP want to grab a drink?

@OP let me know if you wanna hangout? M/27

Hey I’m currently in a role Product Owner and wanted to see about transitioning into tech sales.I figured I’m 26 in grad school with no real responsibilities like a family so it would be the perfect time to try it out. Does anyone have any advice on how to transition (particular companies, what recruiters are looking for) and is it feasible for me to break even at 70k so I match my current salary?
