Three Catagories

[SB35]

A female friend (married) suggested that the problem with the singles situation down here in SoMd is that there effectively three distinct groups of 30s and 40s professional singles.

1) Technical folks on base (majority men)
2) Teachers and staff in the schools (majority women)
3) medical folks at the hospitals (majority women)

She says she knows single folks in all three groups that complain that the dating pool is pretty shallow.

How can we integrate these groups better? I'm in the first group. Obviously I know lots of folks from the base and have plenty of friends to socialize with, but I don't know where the teachers and medical folks hang out. I know they're out there and have seen some of my friend's teacher buddies out now and then, but where are they the rest of the time?

Thoughts?

What is the group I belong in then

I live down there and work in DC. I know I'm not the only one doing that

When I was single, I was in none of those categories and never had a problem finding a guy to date.

The main problem I find (and I'm not in any of those 3 categories), is meeting women. I ask: "where are they ALL of the time"? Most of my friends don't know an single ladies to set me up with and, as active in the community as I am, it's still hard to meet available and eligible ladies. It's time to set up a meeting site on this forum but no mpd's allowed

my guess is the medical folks are at the hospital
the teachers are at school

and the base retards are out fishing or something.


its just better to come here and ask"Who wants to get laid?"

Probably leaving the gay bar would help you in that.

I think Category 1 is not as male dominated as the other two are female dominated. And probably not too many singles in any of those groups in the 30 - 40 range. Just bitter divorcees.

You are in your 20's and have no problem in the dating pool. All the wimmens love you.

I'm not bitter.

I'm in the first category and I am a divorcee. I have found that the techies are a lot younger than me (not that is a problem for me...their story is wanting a woman that is on the cover of Cosmitpolitan). I have also discovered that no matter what or how you categorize a person, there's not very many single intelligent men who want to date divorced woman. Just my personal observation and opinion.
