    Angry Being single in LA sucks!

    So it has been a year since I have been in a serious relationship. I have come to the conclusion that Los Angeles is the most difficult place to date. Guys here are super flakey and arrogant. They are always just hoping for something better. I just want a nice one that likes me for who I am not what I look like. Sorry, just a rant!!

    I would think LA would be a hard place to find a guy like that......not that Kansas wouldn't be....but anywhere in CA you're going to find star-wannabes...who will want to date star-wannabes....or so I hear. I dunno....I make everything up....EEK EEK....I need a banana.

    Oh can i comment!!!

    I dated a guy in LA and while yes I was dating someone holy fuck I wish I was single instead. But in doing so I can totally agree they are flakey and they are arrogant. Every guy I met in LA that was between the ages of 22-34 had the personality of Patrick batemen from American Psycho minus the body parts thing. they care what Others think of them, and what others have that they don't. Now not all but most.

    Most being the coprorate and entertainment type. those are who im including in on this.

    As far as major cities and dating goes, people are more interested in variety in larger cities. I think the vast amounts of pussy does it to them. Why settle for one when there is a million more hot asses just waiting for a good ole fashioned pound n' go ? Any guy iv'e talked to while livingin chicago says basically just that.

    To most in larger cities, marriage is like the end of the line and dont wish to do it till they are damn near their 40's...children? forget about it

    dating and being serious.. not going to happen til they have hit the 30's

    So for us that want relationships and dont get why everyone is such a player it just sucks ass

    Amen and amen. I know a couple of decent guys from here (and I'm with one), but they are definitely few and far between. The women aren't much better, either.

    ^ yep i agree. The dude in LA thought I was awesome because I didnt give a fuck what he made.

    But i think they are so used to the gold digging credit card chasers that they bitch so much about that a non shallow person sorta bothers them.

    You're probably right. I've been here for about a year and a half. The only difference is I'm on the opposite side of your spectrum.

    This is coming from a guy from the Midwest*Chicago* (not flakey and or arrogant)

    I sense the walls are up really high...sometimes too high. I guess, I can't blame them since we are in the entertainment capital of the world.

    Everyone is trying to network which then becomes robotic and mundane. Everyone says the same shit and ask the same questions. Originality and spontaneity is lost.

    I want to hear something that's not about me! Just to be able to listen and learn about the other person's likes and wants. Open the mysteries of her life.

    It's hard to find a girl who is not VAIN! Yes, love yourself but God damn it...let the mirror have it's own reflection. <---besides I hate when females put on CAKE UP! Ladies, natural is great!

    I remember when I bumped into a redhead a few times at the bookstore. God, she was pretty, smart, and kind. I initiated the conversation and it was nice to see her share a little bit about herself.

    By the end of the week she offered me her number then...*poof* DISSAPEARED! She wanted to see a particular film with me but *poof* DISSAPEARED. Her cell phone was disconnected.

    It was like "twilight zone"

    Wow... LA guys are shiteous! Im so done with the latest one I encountered. Yeup and arrogant as fuck telling me "Im a director!" but proceeding to spend more time on myspace commenting people he has never met than text me back. Well fuckity fuck fuck you buddy! Lying motherfucker. </end rant>

    I swear people are so full of shit out there Im surprised it doesnt shoot out of their mouths.

    Hate to say it but that's just LA...It was like that when I was living there too. I once met a nice charming older gentleman in a bar(red flag,right?) around the corner from my friends apartment .He was sweet and charming and seemed genuinely interested in meeting a nice girl. Of course he was a "movie producer" and thought that I "would fit this part perfectly." I was young but still skeptical so I took his card and my friends and I left and stopped to get Damianos on the way home. As we we were walking back to the apartment, Mr. Movie Producer was walking into the halfway house on Stanley... Fucking LA.....NY is just as bad but all finance types it seems. We just have meatheads here in AZ and they are all just looking for porn star barbie to play with for the week.... Feel your pain girl. Good luck.

    I hate to admit it but I'm on your side gals...
    I've always wondered...what the price of beauty has to pay. Figuratively, speaking.

    How does one pass the physical/exterior looks and fall in love within the internal being.

    Sometimes, I wish I were blind so that I could clearly see this internal beauty more clearly.

    This is something I think about from time to time. What if your dating/marrying someone you love and she gets into an accident. The accident leaves you with her most of her body/face burned! There goes the physical stimulation of the relationship unless that turns you on

    So, initially when I meet a girl I'm attractive to...I try to look pass the physical beauty of her by thinking and listening on what the hell she is saying. Is she smart, nice, funny, etc....or I have I fallen in Medusa's trap.

    Unfortunately, we have to face the facts that we're all dogs. People are forgetting...some dogs are well trained..."Sit, stay...goodboy!"

    I think you problem is that you are trying to date humans. Bad move, especially in LA. You should make a serious effort to date androids, A.I. Programs, or the occasional alien from Planet Zrafphrex. If you give up the slly "I only date Homo Sapiens" standards, you can find love and happiness in the long run.

    I will gladly accept a "PJ, you were soooo right" after you become engaged to the love of your love, Humanoid Cybernetic Model #17283J.

    Okay, I take everything I said back! I agree 100%. Must fall in love with A.I. That will solve all problems.

    This is not meant to offend just ranting!!!

    I find it sad that some people who live in LA tend to bash it. Dating is hard anywhere, there are liars everywhere not just LA.....
    If you don't like the city that you live in, please move there will be less traffic and i wll be able to breath cleaner air-
    I think that people who give off a negative energy and are always doubting others, are only going to attract the same type of person. I think some men and women alike in LA all need an attitude adjustment, otherwise...... MOVE !

    this is a little off topic, but still in the vein (or vain) of LA. Last Sat. night while I was working, three model/actor type hot guys came into the club. One of them tipped me quite well on stage and another one wanted dances. Great.

    The one who bought dances from me seemed really honest. It was kina sad. He had to borrow money from one of his bros to buy my dances He was a handsome actor , who was 30 from Ohio that lived in a one bedroom apt. in Hollywood with those TWO GUYS!!

    He actually admitted to me that he had been living in this town for 10 years

    Welcome to LA

    You have to respect someone who compromises his lifestyle for a goal or a life long dream....
    Yes, a little sad because he may never make it, but there is something to be said about someone is chasing his art... OR- He could just be a loser !

    I am not in LA, but I know people that are. The skiny is they tell me that for casual dating, it's a great town, but for finding quality people, it sucks. BTW, Boston sucks for being single also, but for different reasons.

    Damn, i'm so glad I don't live near LA. Sounds like hell...no offense. lol.

    I think it may be worse than NYC. And NYC has their shallow asshole pricks too.

    Yeah, LA sounds much rougher than NYC. Not to say that NYC is any easier. Yeah, looks factor into things, but status plays a huge role as well.

    The bright side about NYC is that there are a LOT of folks here who (if you search hard enough) really can appreciate someone with personality, wit, charm, humor and intelligence.

    And LA can't be completely devoid of good, wonderful people. Some of the most awesome people that I go to grad school with are from LA...then again...they did defect for whatever reason...lol...

    "Yeah, looks factor into things, but status plays a huge role as well."

    -It's the entertainment capital of the world. Therefore every puppet(actor/musician/artist/etc) is merely a puppet. I see the intention on a good impression. I just hope they're not as vain as they seem.

    I could see how NY is similar because of the modeling/runway/print scene.

    Brainy,

    You are right. There are a lot of cool things going on in LA. I live near the beach and people actually WALK in my neighborhood. I have hooked up with some awesome people who I have been friends with since I moved here, (just over 3 years ago) and you can't beat the weather.

    LA is a very image based place, but the people I have met who are successful in the TV/Film industry, only a couple of them are uber beautiful/handsome. They make through forging relationships. hard work, talent , confidence and bit of luck.

    (OK, maybe there is some cheating

    I wasn't shocked that he was a handsome actor, I was shocked by his honesty. Actually, I would have gone out with him if I was single
