mayhap dying alone wo n’t be too bad after all .
I’ll be the first to say it: the dating scene just isn’t it right now. And more than we’d like to admit it, your luck can seriously depend on where you live — because some places just seem to have more promising options than others. And I’m not alone in believing this! Reddit useru/myronsandeerecently asked, “What city has the toughestdating culture?” and it looks like we have some winners (or losers, depending on how you see it).
1.“Ottawa? People from outside of town are always complaining it’s almost impossible without app.”
– u / gabseo
" Ottawa , by far , out of the 6 major metropolis . "
– u / Canadian0123
2.“Vancouver is horrible. Absolutely horrible. Easily the worst dating scene I’ve ever seen anywhere I’ve lived.”
– u / Anishinabeg
" Vancouver is hard to break into to be a friend , much less a lover . They ’re very into their in high spirits shoal clique . "
– [ delete substance abuser ]
3.“I had the Vancouver experience in Victoria as well.”
– u / scott3845
" Victoria was tough ; everyone want one dark stands and its very hard to get into a pawl . "
– atomic number 92 / glubag
4.“Montreal. For sure.”
" On top of being a sexually open and various city ; the government of speech communication , ethnicity , and societal division all librate out in a way I ’ve never seen elsewhere . "
– u / Classic - Button843
" As a Anglo in Montreal , it ’s bad out here . "
– u / Jaxxs90
5.“Alert, Nunavut.”
– u / not - so - grandiloquent - son
" Nunavut for sure . Lots of aunt looking for love , lol . "
– u / Alesisdrum
6.“I can’t speak to what the toughest is. However, as a queer person, I find the options in Saskatoon to be next to none.”
" I ’ve found it impossible to find another funny someone who is like - aged and monogamous . Saskatoon is so small that your options are super circumscribed if you are gay . "
– u / SilverHuskyPup
7.“I used to think that Toronto was the bottom until I moved to London.”
" In fact , I ’m moving back to Toronto ASAP , ca n’t take one more sidereal day in London , Ontario . Mississauga was even worse ; it ’s a sad , dusty , minefield . "
– u / Are_you_serious_99
8.“The smaller the city, the smaller that minority is, the smaller the dating scene is, the harder it is to find a partner. Full stop. For me, that was Prince George, over 20 years ago.”
" I literally moved to big , expensive Vancouver for that ground . "
– uracil / gromm93
9.“People who are saying Vancouver have never tried dating in Halifax.”
" At least people in Vancouver go out , Halifax is constantly beat and extremely difficult to find friends allow alone date if you ’re over 25 . "
– uranium / sorry_ive_peaked
10.“Small towns. Kinfolk, Ontario comes to mind because it sounds like everyone would be related.”
– uranium / IneedAName37
11.“Newfoundland dating scene basically doesn’t exist.”
" It convey like 10 minutes max to snarf through everyone on Tinder , and it ’s the exact same few faces on all the apps . It ’s horrible here . "
– uranium / Zelobot
12.“Anywhere east of MTL.”
– u / Pigeon11222
" Gay here . Moved from MTL . It ’s been about 4 geezerhood . I no longer have a gender life , rent alone date stamp . "
14.“Toronto. High standards and highly judgemental based on salary and net worth.”
– u / Blindemboss
15.“Edmonton — because there’s not enough Cactus Club there.”
– u / macpuge
16.“At this point, every city is.”
– uracil / zoikos
17.But at the end of the day, even though it’s tough in Canada, it could definitely be worse: “In Iceland there’s an app to see if you’re related to someone. Because it’s hard to find someone who isn’t.”
I had a friend who move there for a few calendar month , I told him about this — LOL , he knew all about this app and strongly imply that go there and having zero chance of being related to any of the women was a very good situation . "
– u / Obvious_Exercise_910
I’m definitely not the judge here, but from what I can see, it looks like Vancouver might be the winner just based on how many people suggested it. And besides, the fact that people are struggling so hard in such a massive city is saying something. Buuuut, nothing is solidified, so I’m inviting you to sound off below.
OK , that ’s it for me — good fortune out there ! 🫡
