[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here

I am not only interested in women who are in their mid 20s. [b]I will date a 28 or 29 year old[/b]. I am just looking for help/advice on how to have better dates and connect with people. I know DC tends to be career oriented, but my dating experience here seems indistinguishable from a holiday work party that everyone is forced to attend. I was hoping people could give me some advice. I am not going to start screening my potential dates with a video call/zoom meeting. [/quote]
Why will you date a 29 year old but not a 30 year old?[/quote]

29 is old for a woman if you’re a man with options who wants a family. If I were a single early 30’s man and couldn’t land a mid 20’s woman in the US I’d go abroad to find one before I settled down with an older woman from here. [/quote]

Smart man. After returning to DC after living in Latin America for 2 years, I tried dating here but it was just a waste of time. Not only did every date feel like a job interview, but they were just not fun to be around. They were frumpy, masculine, and wanted to talk about politics or where they went to school. And of course their job! They always had to brag about how they're somebody really important.[/quote]

I don't know why you are not successful on the apps. As a mom of a young son in his 20s, he tells me there are many pretty women in DC. Plenty of young grads come to work at WB, IMF, IFC as well. A lot of them are foreign, from the same Latin America countries or European. Probably they just don't match you on the apps for some reason[/quote]

Because apps are terrible for men especially in the US unless you’re exceptionally above average in most categories [/quote]
