Maybe you are just not interesting to talk to. And not, it’s pretty standard to meet “bikini models” in DC who can discuss with you best investment options for the year or BDSM toys, depending on where the conversation goes.

Nice try, but that was a swing and a miss.
I have a very robust amount of women who want to match, talk and meet. It is me who is turn off by them - one word answers, no ability to initiate or carry a conversation, narrow minded and everything revolves around some specific topics. While many are very attractive and successful, they are just not interesting.

No it’s you. In other cities you’ll have even lower chance to meet interesting people. Maybe only NY would compare with DC but life is expensive and single women usually are empowered . Those who are attractive and with good starter careers would only date men with Wall Street income

Haha my autocorrect goes nuts today. Meant to say single women (even with good jobs) and impoverished in NYC.

Its ok- you still wrong.
You have nice theories, I have lived experience. But hey have a nice day with your "Wall Street Income" guy or, you know, cat!

What are the same topics with your DC ladies ? My opinions are based on my personal experience which is - many interesting people in DC. Maybe you just pick women solely for their looks.

Partner of this, director of that, PhD scientist, doctor, lawyer, etc. Plus the usual real estate agents, teachers, and yoga instructors. I'm not even talking about the ones who look like sugar babies advertising for sugar daddies. I'm talking about the women whose photos look real and write some details about themselves. Many of these women are very fit and nice looking, even in their forties and fifties (and sometimes sixties).

Are the men like that too? If the men are like the men in my city, then regular guys probably don't do all that well on Bumble, and these women are probably frustrated. I mean, there are a lot of them, especially over age fifty.

That’s DCUM.com Moms! The smart ladies who have everything here in this forum.

Why would you write it like this?? Why not 10:8?

5:4

2:1

I agree there are, but that was not the topic here and you seem to want to argue.
The OP stated that there are a ton of attractive, successful women in the DMV. Yes, there are and I agree with the OP
You state that there are a ton of interesting people in the DMV. Yes, there are and I agree

Now to my point- that pool of attractive, successful and interesting people, who can:
carry a convo, reply with more than one word and no do not have an attitude and agenda, but want to just explore a relationship?

That pool of women is much smaller than the OP seems to realize. If anyone is picking a woman soley for their looks, it may be the OP, as they have only looked at a picture and a profile. I suggested he actually speak with them and find out.

Still, I maintain that the share of both attractive and interesting people is higher in dmv vs many other major cities. It’s the most educated and well read city in the US .

Most of the smart, attractive women in DC seem to be divorced. What happened to their ex husbands?

[Anonymous]

I don't live in DC but go there often. Those smart, attractive, middle aged women don't seem boring to me, exactly, but they seem a little narrow or uptight sometimes.

One passed away and the other sits in his basement selling pot.

Mine got remarried right away to a less attractive but definitely more accomplished DC woman 10 years his junior. With no kids and no desire to have kids.

We are probably equally intelligent and interesting, but she is a much better fit, ambition and temperament-wise.

Sounds like a decent enough outcome?

Mine turned into an unrepentant alcoholic after we had kids (no sign of it before then). Among my friends in this category of woman, several got married young when they were less accomplished, and it seems like their exes preferred them that way.

Ratio is probably bigger.

Don’t food yourself thinking the ratio would help you to land one of these women. First, the top rated profiles would match and date each other. Second, dating is nowadays cross states: these hot intellectual chicks will rather be single or date someone from a different city. I had a BF from West Coast when I lived in DC.

Ok, are you Hot and intellectual? Please tell us your stats.

Is bumble used for dating or is it used for casual sex when you’re on a business trip in a different city?

I wouldn’t be an objective judge. All I can tell I’m 20 BMI, 5’7, 2 grad degrees, own my home, earn $400k/year and 80% retirement ready in late 40s. I’m not ugly, likely conventionally attractive as the men I date are all with similar or higher stats. I recently left a long term BF (in a city other than DC). He was a partner at Big4 and checked all the boxes but we were not a great sexual match. I also got bored with him we had little in common . He was a “man who golfs”.
