I've been single for a long time too. It feels almost impossible to meet new people. Many people seem to think this is a uniquely Vancouver game thing, but if that's the case I ask, why here? Why is here so special or rather un-special? How did this start? Can someone please study this?

One of the most liveable cities in the world...ya, if you don't have a heart and soul.

written by a woman.

Ya, she said she was a woman. You drunk? Men actually tell you to fuck off?... where are you meeting these men, in a bar? Again, you meet people when you have the same interests. Volunteer, clubs, friends that know people, etc. Just get out there and not on dating apps.
People just like to blame the city, but why are so many of us are married or dating? But, there is nothing wrong with being single. Many people like it and I get that. Even as a married person...

Does not align with reality. Most men do not tell women to fuck off. Your perception is a few standard deviations off from the normal.

With all due with respect, men don't cross the room for Plain Jane and/or overweight women. Level up both your looks and self esteem then you'll see how much men will take an interest in you.

" instead I'm met with a laugh, mock and insult. sometimes I get a "F*** off/you" "
I go out all the time,for 18 years now. never ever once have I overheard this,and never seen a woman slink away humiliated.
Have seen many,many women do this to men,and had it done to me many times too.
Also NEVER had a woman approach me,rarely even glance in my general direction. I go to Califonia,Florida,London,Montreal,Paris etc and they actually come up and talk me...often. Ask me out for a coffee.

I personally love it when women approach me. And anyone who tells you to eff off is an effing asshole!

Well, by getting coffee you got further than lots of people.

.....and it's all the men's fault. Really?
There's something wrong with your perception of yourself,my guess is you think you have a high SMV (when you don't) and approach high value men. Maybe you're creepy. Very likely you have a negative vibe and guys pick up on that,you think we're dumb?
Whatever reason,women are always complaining that the guys that approach them aren't of high enough value and they need to improve themselves.
Well it works the other way too,just because a woman approaches me doesn't mean i have to oblige her.
I don't know why women feel they're entitled to a man,his time,and resources.
