Is it a Men's Market?

So this has been a running discussion among my friends for a few weeks and I want to know what you all think about your areas.

I've come to the conclusion that at least where I live (MD/DC area) the dating scene is a men's market as they have a "multitude" of options, as many men have told me as far as finding attractive, intelligent, dateable women. Whereas we women are left basically trying to grab whatever is left as there are very few attractive, intelligent, dateable men. In fact, me and my friends have come to the conclusion that we must live in an overwhelmingly unattractive city as we can't seem to find men here that are reasonably attractive. The problem is my city (Baltimore) is high in "ghetto mentality" and most men here like to sport the ghetto, hip hop, thug look which does nothing but detract the professional career-oriented women such as myself and my friends. While there are TONS of beautiful women everywhere, basically chasing down the good ones, who are left with so many options, they needn't choose so they juggle all that they can commitment-free.

So what do you think? Is it a "men's market" where you area? How often you do see attractive men out and about? How often do you see attractive women out and about?

Any other thoughts?

This was my exact dating experience for years until meeting my current, older BF. And some of these exes still do the whole 'check up' thing...some of them I have not even seen in 7 years and still do it!

While I'm sure there are some younger mature men looking for relationships, all the women I know haven't had any luck meeting any.

I totally agree with you. And in my experience, the times I did give the wishy-washy guy a chance, he ended up disappointing in the end. So I learned to steer clear of them all together.
