[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Women are not the best judge of what men find attractive in women. So you may think you and all your girlfriends are the shit, but the results say something else. Why are you and your friends hanging around married men? By the way, the married men who hit on women are not being selective. [/quote]

NP here, and I agree with all of this. But enlighten us - what do men find attractive? Besides youth, which the OP and everyone else can't control? Or is that really pretty much it? I'm curious. I know many cool, smart, fun single women and I've pretty much concluded that there are just way more of them here than there are single 30-something men.[/quote]

guy here. well yes, in dc there are more single women than men in 25-34 range. it has the worst statistics for any city in the country according to bloomberg. [b]you would be swimming in guys in sf or seattle[/b]. however, i have a feeling that the OP and DC women would be frustrated there as well (as proven by the recent article by a woman lamenting about 'amazon' killing her sex life).

guy's are pretty simple.

look pretty, be nice.

i've dated a high-school educated nanny (american born, though really smart - just never went to college), a harvard educated ophthalmology resident, a MIT educated strategy consultant, the barista at starbucks....and they all had two things in common - they were pretty and nice people.

you said your friends are ' cool, smart, fun'....it is telling that you never said if they were nice, not status hungry bitches, nurturing, loving, etc.

and the age thing does matter (not as much to me, but i don't care if i have kids or not) - but when people like that princeton alum who wrote about women should find a good man at a younger age, then other women yell at her for saying some home truths.

Having lived in SF as a single women, just want to point out that the single guys there are all into each other.  Maybe Seattle is the better bet.

OP, I actually left San Francisco when I looked around and realized that I knew a ton of great women (smart, well-educated, good jobs, athletic, pretty) who were single, and yet every single straight male friend had a girlfriend, no matter if they were shlubby and unemployed.   When the numbers don't work in your favor, they just don't work.  I actually left the city, moved back home to the NY suburbs for a while, met my now-husband, and we're now married with two kids.  Obviously my path isn't for everybody, but for me, having a family was very important to me, and it worked out.  Good luck to you.[/quote]
