There's a single crisis pretty much everywhere now, and the culture is to blame. Our chronic singleness is the result of a cultural shift that’s been building over the last 20 years. We're now leaning hard into individualism, with fewer financial and social incentives to marry. Plus, the internet has opened up the world, making people feel like they have far more options than they actually do.

bruh its no way you live in the dmv and you referred to NoMa as "Northern Maryland" lmaooo

[lexlex]

Noma stands for North of Massachuseett Ave. Them folks making up new names. City done changed!

People are so fickle! Me and my husband talk about it all the time. Everyone we know is looking for someone who has it all when they don’t have it themselves. Persistence in improving ourselves and each other has helped us build our relationship.

Being a man NOT from here there’s really not a lot of women that stand out and make me want to approach and get to know. They all look and act the same and have bad attitudes. Going on dates is like going to a job interview they all WANT SOMETHING! And unfortunately most don’t have the looks to get what they are asking for!💯 Not to offend anyone just what I’ve noticed as someone not from here! Moved here in 2016 stopped dating in 2021. I’d really like to meet and get to know someone but I’m not trying to be on someone’s roster or help out with children I didn’t create so I’ll stay by myself oh well!

Dating and marriage are done. I will concentrate on myself. I need my peace

I lived in DC for almost two decades, the cost of living is outrageous. Six figures does feel like $50, 000.00 and there is a level of professional intensity that I found to be unnatural.

Dating crisis almost everywhere. Last 4 years men been called trash and that women would choose the "Bear" over men. Now they're even more mad after a lot of men voted Trump. 🤷

[azraelfirstofhisname]

The women want men out of their league and the average men don’t even bother approaching
It’s that simple

[piggy]

Nobody has a personality or a mind of their own anymore. Women want to be “baddies” and men want to be “high value”…whatever TF that is…it’s pathetic out here.

There’s a dating crisis everywhere. But being from the dmv area I can say for a fact that alotta people in the dmv area are just full of themselves and have way too much pride, think they’re too good for people. That seems to be the culture out here so it’s no surprise that the dating scene in Dc and Maryland is so trash rn. And If you live in the Bethesda/ Rockville area you better forget about dating and making friends unless you got money like that and a nice whip. Another problem is people here are very cliquish as well, and if you don’t know somebody or have mutual friends you’re a nobody, people out here won’t want anything to do with you. If you’re an out of towner don’t move to Maryland there’s no hospitality here trust me😭

NOMA is north of Massachusetts Avenue so it is in DC.

[JacXKrueger]

It’s not just D.C, it’s everywhere!🤷🏾‍♂️💙

Thank you for talking about it. I recently moved here and I couldn’t agree more. Not sure it’s one groups fault. Just feel like people have difficultly with healthy communication. In addition, some people are substituting relationships for therapist. Not everyone needs to be dating who is. However, best of luck to you!

[LifeIsRythm]

There is no dating crisis. It's just the lights are coming on. Western men love to live thru women, which created a monster! Now we got to go back and really build our lives. It wont be fun, but we need to be about personal strength more than fun. Strength and fun don't coexist for the most part.

[MsSolape]

I think our generation has been sold a lie. We’ve believed that chasing the American dream and having it all is where true happiness and fulfillment lie. We are all now realizing that it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. We have more money than our parents did, but are worse off in our relationships and have higher rates of depression and suicide. I think it might be time to start chasing after something more meaningful (God), and let whatever money, fame, fortune that brings come as it comes.

[ashleysharingthegoodnews]

Not to mention it just doesn’t even feel safe dating now 😭🤦🏽‍♀️

[daveharrison]

When I was single I had success with speed dating. It works a lot better than dating apps. And even if you don't get matches it's good practice.

[qualitrabrown]

I’ve been in DC for 9 years and just met my partner last year at work. It’s hard out here. 😂

I think MD and DC are great places to meet good black people. But I think for women looking outside of just 30-something men in DC will help. Black men living in the suburbs around DC are also good guys and a little less full of themselves.
