I Hate Seattle

So when I first moved to Seattle I had a boyfriend (from Long Island) and didn't think much of the dating scene. Since the breakup of my relationship I've felt all but invisible to the men in Seattle and for the first time on my life lonely and alone. The passive wimpy Seattle men look at me but do nothing. Not even a hello. Where I'm from people actually say hello and over time it seems like you know everyone and it was always fun to go out on the town. But hipsters, self-important and pretentious men here a big turn off. And all the guys I would actually go for are married or dating an Asian girl. In any other town I would be actively dating but here I'm feeling like persona nongrata. The ironic thing is I'm quite attractive with a very nice body (slender meets athletic and curvy). I'm not egocentric. I just wanted to make a point that I'm not ugly, frumpy or fat. I'm kind, humble and very altruistic.

Everyone says I'll meet more guys if I join clubs and meetups. But. I'm not one to join a club to meet someone. If I do something I'm going to give it my all and focus on the activity.

Since I don't want be alone forever, I'm being more proactive in my search for Mr. Right. (Just being more open friendly...say hello, prolonged eye contact and a bit of subtle flirting). It's just odd to me that I have be the aggressor. But this is passive backwards Seattle.....sigh......

So tell me singleton what's your dating approach?

(In case everyone is wondering, I don't do online dating thanks to a stalker.....I just feel more connected in person...... not easy in 2012 and in an introverted and me centered community).

If you're from Seattle and you read these posts and get enraged, GOOD for you! That's probably the most emotion outside of a coffee jolt you've experienced in your entire life. You'll say we are all wrong for hating it here, and that we all "have problems" and that's why we are so unhappy. No. It's all of you passive aggressive, trendy idiots. I have never seen such a huge group of people try to be so stylish, but look so ridiculous while doing it. Thick rimmed glasses are gay (don't throw the homophobic thing out there, meanings of words change, you hipster. I mean gay as in stupid.) People used to actually wear those because it was all their parents could afford in those days, imagine that!? and now you pay hundreds of dollars to "look like a geek". Jeeeesus, you assholes... That just makes you a DORK. Not the type you'd like to look like, but a real DORK. Someone who doesn't know what they like or dislike. Someone who sips a latte and rants about feminist bullshit then poses naked for pinup calendars. Someone who stands for things just to say they're standing for something. Someone who thinks a "vintage" building was made in the 1920's. You're actually such a dork that you don't even understand that reference. Go drive your subaru off the side of one of your majestic mountains.
