What Is It Like Dating In Florida
- Thread starter summerof1990
- Start date
Not in Florida, but a friend living in South Florida recently posted this article on Facebook, http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl...ida-worst-places-for-love-20171114-story.html, and many of his local single friends commented on how horrible the dating scene is, while his local married friends commented on their relief at not having to date in the area. I know quite a few unhappily single women, of all ages and ethnicities, in South Florida.
Not sure if things are any better in the central (Tampa/St. Pete, Orlando) or northern (Jacksonville, Daytona) areas but the college-aged black women I knew in Tallahassee and Gainesville didn't really complain (not great, but not awful either). What area(s) are you looking at?

I think dating is what you make it, as long as the male to female ratio isn’t super skewed. Just weed out the duds per the usual.

Lived in Miami for two years, and decided to stay with my aggravating boyfriend because options were limited. Men were looking for fun, not committed relationships. Met two guys when trying to leave home, but they were very full of themselves.
Moved north to Stuart Florida, lots of old white men and married younger guys, so dating was also a no go but made lots of friends.
Almost all my single friends would complain about the scene, saying that there was way too limited options and most moved out of Miami. These were my med school/residency colleagues. For the ones that still live in Miami, the Spanish ones are all married, black ones still single.
For my family members in Miami, the men are married, females single. However all my orlando cousins/family are with booed up or married.

Coral Springs is mostly white but the surrounding areas more than make up for it.
Also, dating sucks.

Most married either Spanish or white men. Miami is heavily Hispanic-like I had to learn Spanish in order to function like order food and do a Zumba class. It comes in handy from time to time, but it Annoyed me to have to assimilate to Spanish culture while in the USA.

I never found it to be difficult in Central or South per se, but South FL is harder and you def have to be open-minded. You have a higher chance marrying a Jewish or Spanish guy in Miami as a BW than a quality BM in a lot of areas. Central it is mostly about putting yourself in the right environment and being fly/connected.

I agree with all of the above. Lived in FL for 10 years - some teens, all college, and a few years after. The dating scene isn't that great, but it's feasible to find a decent guy. @MissNina is right about having a higher chance with a Jewish or Hispanic guy. My 1st serious BF was Dominican. Other guys I dated were black/mixed, but not serious. I think areas like Tampa & Orlando may be a smidge better.

Fort Lauderdale is the same. From PBC to Miami Dade you’re looking at the same scenario, just different players.
