Connecting Singles^® Minnesota Forums100% Free Online Dating

I was chatting with a cop the other day and he was telling me that not too long ago one of the news stations said that the male female ratio in the twin cities was 3F to 2M. As I look on this site I see a lot more males that log on than females. So my question is, what are the females doing?

Are the females in the TC so involved with careers that they dont feel the need to look for a relationship? Or is it because males want to take the easy route and look online ? Any thoughts

Hey Trent,

Single woman from MN here! Sorry to say it but the search for a nice MN guy is still coming up few and far between. Especially concidering that there is a 3 to 2 ratio. I hear more from guys out of state or the USA than I do from guys in my own state. I wouldn't say womens careers have all that much to do with it. It is the blatent pickiness of the lamest guys out there that expect to act like horndog highschoolers and still get a supermodel on thier arm. All we ask for is a decent gentleman who doesn't act like a teenager at 30. Woman have higher expectation too. Not really into a beer swilling, sport whooping time at your local watering hole. MN men, go ahead and look online. I have been lucky to find a few good men. Most of them have been from out of state or foreigners who live in MN. I wouldn't say it is the easiest route either. I have meet some real sex fiend creeps too. But I know that the Good Guys are out there somewhere.

Many nice, sweet MN ladies still looking and I'm still one of them,

I find theres lots and lots of single ladies - offline. It seems the majority of online women are heavy-set, undesirable or have tons of baggage... before you jump me, I said "majority"

Attractive and desirable ladies are being hounded by every horn dog out there.. the marginal women get some interest showed to them and oftentime end up online hoping to snag a good guy, like me

Come on, buddy, I guess then I'm in the minority of your on line women. Marginal women?????? Are you a marginal guy??? Yah, sure, you betcha! If there are so many single women out there for you to chase, what are ya doin on here?? Git over to that watering hole and snatch them up! No, there are good people off here and on here. And we're not all fat and ugly either. I happen to live in the middle of nowhere, so it's tuf to find what I'm looking for. And I'm very picky, looking for a guy with a brain AND a sense of humor - can take a looong time, but I'm doing OK. In Minnesota, the quality women way outweigh the mediocre amount of males there are, so we are not worried. . .

Hey Annie... theres exceptions to every rule! Being completely objective, I would say we are both above marginal

"It seems the majority of online women are heavy-set, undesirable or have tons of baggage..." Scott1963

It saddens me to hear this from a "grown" man. This is exactly the reasoning behind shallow individuals who have deep seated insecurities.

Heavey-set: Maybe by your terms but some ppl are OK with that

Undesirable: Maybe to you but someone else might like there looks

Tons of Baggage: Everyone has baggage of some sort. Shows immaturity that you don't think you could handle someones baggage.


Good luck finding your barbie doll. I"m sure you'll have fun with your matching pair of rose colored glasses.

I am new to minnesota, but have noticed the guys here aren't any different than those I have met from other states. I have lived in Wisconsin, West Virginia and Minnesota.
It seems like a large portion of the guys online are.

1. Married, but *unfulfilled*.. I giggle when I hear that.
2. Have more baggage than I do.
3. Not willing to do for themselves.

I am not a watering hole kind of person, but do occasionally spent an evening at a tavern shooting pool, and just talking to just about everyone there.

I do work, but it is a neccessity.
I would love to meet a nice guy.......but he has to be honest with himself first, before he can be honest with others.

How Arrigant.... Come on... I am a full figured woman and I have a life. Its men like you that really tick women off. And Ladies I am sorry if you dont agree with me. But Mr Scott1963 You need a life.

I like the ratio that's been described.Where are these places?I've noticed nothing like this.I recently went to two outdoor concerts and did'nt notice anything out numbering the guys.Maybe I should go to Target more often.If anyone has a suggestion,tell me.I don't do bars anymore.

no way? i dont believe that its a 3-2 ratio... if so then how come i cant find any? Geez My god... i must be a real loser haha just kidding if it was that easy to find people then this site would not be here... I geuss i am just going to have to look harder.

I'm new to this online dating thing but my guess is a lot of women don't do the online dating. I honestly can't believe I am on here myself. Maybe I am still living in the past but online dating is a little intimidating.

Seriously the only reason I'm on here is to try something new. I'm so tired of meeting guys that can't even hold an intelligent conversation.

Is that in Eagan? See any for rent signs around there?

I would definitely say, the reason that I don't put much stock in internet dating is because of the CONSTANT sex offers. Men I know who have used internet dating say that it doesn't happen to them (shocking right?).

The only reason I keep trying it occasionally is because I'm very shy and have trouble starting things up. Plus, I know several married couples who met online and they talk me into it.

The majority of women online are looking for a relationship, and the majority of men online are looking for a one nighter. That's my guess anyway!

First, I would like to say hello to everyone. I just joined this site and this thread caught my eye.

I want to say that I agree with you Veggie. It has been in my experience with so-called dating sites that you are right when it comes to what most men and women are looking for. I would have to say, at least in my opinion, that is mainly due to the way the vast majority of sites are marketed. It breeds those mentalities. As a result, we end up with comments like what was posted earlier. That's why sites like this one are so nice to come by. I haven't had much chance to look around, but from what I can see I may like it here. I joined for the same reason as you did. I am very shy, almost crippling so, in social settings. Unless I know you already or I am at work, good luck getting me to initiate anything. That is why I looked for a site like this one. I can be myself without having to worry about the fear of others judging me in person.

Well, that is my two cents for today. I hope to have the chance to get to know some people here. You probably won't see my starting any threads but if it intrigues me I will post.

God, this is a first I am totally drawing a blank as to what I was going to say.......Ah well, I know that mainly I wanted to say welcome to silent duey. I think you will find this site very rewarding to you for the exact reasons that you talked about. Everyone on the Forums is very open and honest though so, be warned.
I'll read through the posts again and see if I wake up enough to remember wtf I was going to say.

The question was asked; "what are the females doing" ?..

As for me, I really don't know what I am doing, I just roll on with the wind behind my back and try to keep it there.

I was sent this site in an e-mail, and though ''huh /

I looked around, and well here I am .. I thought, why not.

I did notice that some of the people here seem to take this very seriously.. I don't think that is the way to view this cyber meeting, I see it as rather strange and looking forward to finding out the real meaning of it all.

I am alone and find time to do most everything I feel need to do, mostly what is closest to the couch after 8:00 pm..
I can't sing a note so I avoid sing alongs and Avon parties.
When I am having a bad hair day, I will call someone who I don't like just to let them know I am having a bad day.
I can't cook anything that isn't from a can or a box.
Nonetheless I wear good shoes and fab jeans.

As always, later.. Z.

From Buffalo, how are the Gals..?

I haven't heard the expression "horn dog" since a work mate from the boonies of SC was in town..

Ok I'll bite on the bait you threw out;
tell me in 20 worss or less, just how "attractive'' and ''desirable'' a guy from Buffalo can be..

And PS. I am not of the "majority"

Ok. my post is "offensive "
I just noticed my errors of typing in the dark; don't ask me to dance. Save yourself.
