[quote=Anonymous]Have you ever considered that it might be by plan?  I dated and was engaged to a woman for a big chunk of my 20s and in the end it simply didn't work out.  We were just starting out in our careers and trying to live cheap in Alexandria, but our #1 issue to argue about always revolved around money and mostly the lack of it.  Secondly, she had trouble sticking with a steady job, grew to hate the area, and finally wanted nothing more than to leave for anywhere else.

After being single for a while I then found it then a lot easier to focus on myself, my career, and saving for the future.  And then all of the sudden I wasn't in that big of a hurry.  I've lived here my entire adult life and have seen many friends and colleagues of all ages get married off.  The pairs that seem REALLY, REALLY happy (and you can always tell when it's true) often seem to be 40/50-something men with 30-something wives.  And the husbands typically have a great paying job, while the wives' vocations have run the gamut.

You have to remember that DC is a huge draw from everywhere between Wisconsin to Pennsylvania and all over the South. A new, fresh-faced batch of 22-year olds land in DC & Arlington every summer.  Some of the women in that batch will stick around and settle in DC for a career.  I don't see myself living/working anywhere other than DC at this point, so it's ok if it takes some time to find a match.  But I'm always looking in the meantime.[/quote]
