Life suggestions?

The only buses we have where I live are short ones.

As RiverOtter would say if he were logged on to SoWal.com, ,

How did my thread turn into this?!?!?
Alrighty... give me a minute-

HA! JK!

BlueFox, I re-read your original post and am now wondering what you mean by saying that you are a "professional woman."

Rut Ro

I have a professional job! NOTHING DIRTY! I'm a graphic designer. Art and creative director at a weekly sports paper here in Atlanta. Hopefully joining creatives in SoWal soon. I have 2 interviews next week!

BlueFox, I was just giving you a hard time. Everyone here is a professional of some sort.

Bluefox, as you can see, what we lack in eligible bachelors, we more than make up for in characters and funn!

No basements here due to the water level!

I think I might relocate to the area and I was wondering- where are some good places for a young single professional woman to meet some quality, employed men around here? :scratch: Just wondering Thanks!

:funn:

well, this is a very good question really. most of my single friends have learned that sowal isn't a great place to date or find that significant other. but they still stick around. It's a quality of life thing. Single life seems to suit many here.

I thought Smiley J was the most eligible bachelor here!? Nobody has mentioned him.

Ha- well, I am not really too concerned. I am needing the boost in quality of life more than I need a man. After being a major city girl for most of my years, I think it's time for a slower pace of life. I work at a very hectic job- and even driving only 2 exits on 285 makes me want to shoot people. I miss being a nicer person. I have also lost all creative ambition. I guess I am just looking for a better quality of life and I think you guys have it! I want it!

Definitely a better quality of life and a slower pace. You'll miss a lot of the big city amenities but can always go back to ATL for a museum, club, shopping, or ineligible bachelor fix!

Yeah-
?I have been to the museums here more times than I can count (was a member at High for years)
?I hate clubbing (give me a Irish Pub or something similar and I am good- I am going to try Red Bar this time- it looks like my type of place) Got whisky? ha!
?I live at Target (although I will miss having multiple/Super Targets... :roll: I know, I know!)
?Had more than my fare share of ineligible bachelors-- I figure it's time to pass the torch on that one...

So, I think I should be OK.

Reality is that most of the good men are taken. From the looks of it, a lot of the professional people that move down here have married somewhere else, or divorced with some kind of issue. I think you'll be in for a culture shock considering the quality young available men that are available, are not necessarily professionals. I've known countless individuals that move here not realizing just what they are getting into, yet somehow adjusting to the degree that when they go back to where ever they came from, they are not satisfied. This "was" a small town, with few amenities. Pace is slow, locals operate on the honor system.

I am amazed at how many of you look at men in such a horrible fashion! While I obviously haven't found the one- I haven't given up hope- not that I am in any rush. Many of you sound VERY pessimistic- hold your heads up ladies! Lighten up! This might be a reason they... :leaving:

Sheesh!

I seriously didn't mean for a question about a hang-out spot turn into a male bashing forum! I LOVE MEN! Ha!

I love the idea of men, the local reality sometimes gets frustrating ;-).

Still kissing frogs hoping one turns into a prince!

May I ask age range for most of you ladies?

Age of who? Us? Or our men?!!

Have to say it sounds like a caveman club or something!

One bit of advice: You better make good pay or have a roommate or two. Otherwise, you won't be able to afford to live comfortably in South Walton or Destin.
Or, you can expect a 30-minute or longer commute for work. That's what I got stuck with.
Nobody warned me when I took a job here about housing costs! Woooo.
Still would have come anyway. It's worth it. ;-)
Oh, and, there's lots of cute Air Force guys around. hehehe.

I was asking for the age range of the women who are looking and finding nothing. Not you married or taken ladies.

My mother is also single- and I was trying to convince her to move to the area as well...

Housing costs don't generally match up with wages either. Hope there is a job already lined up.

There we go with the "looking" thing again! That age range goes from puberty, to death! Until she figures out to quit "looking"!

I will make decent money or I am not moving. That's the whole dilemma- which is why I have set-up interviews for next week.

I have also been looking at places to rent- they really aren't that bad. Same as the city- but with much nicer views. I understand it would be hard to live in the area if you had a hourly job- but alas- I do not. I am trying to convince another friend into moving with me though... I could always use the extra $ in my pocket.

If you come here, thinking to find "love", you'll be disappointed, as you will anywhere. Hope there is some other stronger motivation.

Yea, they are cute, until they retire. A few years ago, the divorce rate with the military was about 75%. Not a good track record.
