Happily committed here, but Providence used to be one of the worst cities to date in nationally for straight women looking for college educated men. The dating ratio is just really bad-- like 5 women for every 2 men (also the case in NYC). Seriously, they wrote books about it if you google it we came in like top 5 worst.

Things are changing here, but people don't move here for the dating scene they tend to move here inspite of it or move their partner here.

Damn, so college educated men are a hot commodity here? Can't say I've had that experience in the dating scene..

It's been reported a few places, but here's one:

Part of his advice was literally to move haha. Just bringing it up since OP asked. Things may have shifted a bit with remote work, but probably not that much the East Coast is pretty tough for women seeking men.
