10 Reasons coming from an OG in the DC area why dating is difficult & borderline trash 1. Although there’s more women than men, the women around here seem to gravitate to or desire a certain type of man & if you aren’t that man.. you will be used for help, ego validation & foodie dates. 2. There’s a large amount of women around here sleeping with the same types of dudes.. Any dude who looks like an R&B singer/rapper/ exotic dancer gym rat dude… they’re sleeping with him.. 3. A lot of women around here have kids outside of wedlock. This can hurt things because these women are stressed out, don’t have the time to meaningfully date & you have to deal with the baby father if you take her serious. 4. Some of these folks are financially struggling so the thought of inviting someone in their life can be difficult because your financial struggles may be exposed 5. Sex is so much easier to get nowadays, back in my day you kinda had to work or impress a woman enough for her to actually be comfortable being intimate with you. Nobody’s waiting for something that some other dude probably got in a day or two. 6. Crime is off the chain.. a person used to could be able to walk around downtown DC for a little romantic venture & get know you session. Nowadays, you’ll get robbed down there just as quick as you would in the most crime ridden parts of the city 6. Hook up culture has a lot of convenience to it.. a lot of people, especially women are hooking up with dudes but still on dating sites acting like hopeless romantics that just can’t seem to find a good man. 7. Some of these women are burnt out from hook up culture but refuse to settle. Like you said, they think they’re one swipe away from the perfect guy not realizing she’s entering a competition for the “perfect” guy.. 8. The rise of mgtow, Red pill rage & the manosphere has uncovered many dating tricks that women once used to get away with while dating & dealing with multiple men.. 9. DC is a very faddish area.. DC used to have its own style, but with out of town college kids settling in DC & possibly establishing families.. People in DC seem like they want to look & act like whatever’s hot at the moment. 10. Reality shows/ Social media/ dating sites have given people especially women access to men that otherwise they would never meet.. Women want to picky until they eventually age out of dating market. You got Grand mothers & Aunties out here still fishing for some imaginary perfect guy that only exists on her phone… Bonus: a lot of folks around here are hooking up with co-workers lol!

As an individual who commutes for work to DC, I can attest that everything this brother said is true. I fit the archetype of what he listed in number 2 as a black gym bro at 6 foot and women in the DMV area, especially black women, who are somewhat attractive have slept around and have kids out of wedlock. They pretty much will use you for monetary purposes and at worst want you to be a role model for their kids, especially if it's a boy.

You’re absolutely right. Social media when it comes to meeting people, forming relationships… social media is such a distraction. I think you were born in the wrong era. The 80s were great! We didn’t have social media distractions. Meeting new people was easy. Forming random friendships, dating was organic. Not forced.

I listen to you here in Germany Düsseldorf / Cologne area. I’m 30 y/o and don’t really date, but once in a while I download bumble and swipe. Just lately I’ve swiped, matched and went on a date with a girl I actually know from school. Most of the time I don’t really care about dates that went nowhere especially when a person is living 20 miles away, but she was living just around the corner and it didn’t feel weird to go on a date. I really got my act together with a great paying tech job at a well known technology brand, stable finances (can afford a downpayment for a house) and I work out - I’m shredded - and dress well in designer clothing pieces that cost 500€. When she rejected me I was just done. I took the car to Amsterdam and had a great night over there. Now, whenever I think about dating, I remember I can use those 50 bucks for gas to Amsterdam and have a date with myself. Guess what I’m doing when I feel the desire to download the app? I drive to Amsterdam for a day and go out for dinner & shopping. That’s how life is 🤷🏼♂️

Bro this video came right on time I agree with you on getting out the house especially as men it’s important because believe it or not even though a lot of women have dating profiles and she may actually meet or had met a quality man she still shopping around when she goes out on the weekends. I’m sure you heard about Afro tech in houston this weekend I was seeing some men and women both complaining about folks wanting to meeting someone there instead of network others responded like hey we complain about online dating here is the perfect chance to meet someone of substance. Like you said it’s ok to identify problems but we must come with solutions .

That’s the problem just because you don’t have any issues doesn’t mean everybody else don’t have issues with it I be seeing dudes in the comments saying they attractive above 6 feet and doing good for themselves but can’t get a date because they date either crazy or they might get a date and then they date might ghost them the next day…meeting new people takes too much work nowadays it’s gotten to the point that I’ll find a person suspicious for being too nice
