The dating scene is a challenge in any city yet in Vancouver both men and women find it even harder to get a date. Often it is a matter of opening one self up to looking beyond the perfect person and learning to get to know people before making a judgement. Here are some of the reasons many singles are not dating in Vancouver:
* Financials: In the Vancouver dating scene there are more women in higher powered jobs than men. Or so it seems. This makes it uncomfortable for many women to take a chance on “blue collar” workers, despite the fact they are employed and even looking for a serious relationship. It is hard for women to consider being the main bread winner in a relationship even in today’s modern world and many women may not even realize that this is keeping them from meeting perfectly eligible, wonderful men. It is a two way street and many men feel intimidated by these women and therefore hesitate to approach them or strike up a conversation for fear of rejection.
* Culture: It can also be difficult for people to meet a mate as there are many cultural differences in Vancouver which might be an unconscious decision many women might be making. It is not so much based on race. It is more the perceived cultural differences that keep people distant. “Acceptance” of the families involved can also make many people distance themselves from potential long lasting relationships as they are unfamiliar with the culture of potential matches.
* Over Achievers: Many men in Vancouver can be turned off by the over achiever attitude they see on online dating sites. Women are posting pictures of themselves in exotic countries or climbing mountains or even listing their promotions and awards they have won which can be yet another intimidating factor that will stop men from calling. Although these women might be lovely, down to earth people they are projecting themselves as untouchables. They seem they will require uber men and therefore they are keeping themselves out of the running with empty email boxes and zero flirts.
* First Impressions: Many men in Vancouver work from home and can walk about town in casual dress. This can give women the wrong impression even though these men are gainfully employed and quite successful.
