Find a Girlfriend in Seattle and Get Yourself a Date
.jpg)
It's tough being a single guy in Seattle. One by one, all of your friends get partnered off. Eventually you find yourself aimlessly wandering from bar to bar on Saturday nights, hoping against hope that if you buy enough girls drinks one of them will take pity on your. Don't let it happen to you.
In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king
And in the land of computer nerds, the guy who restricts his live-action role-playing to one night a week is a hot commodity. Seriously, have you seen the kind of losers who can get a girlfriend in Seattle?
So quit whining and get out there. Over 40% of Seattle’s households are single-person households, and at least a couple of those are girls.
Stop with the pizza delivery and go to the grocery store already
Her career keeps her too busy to go to the bars and clubs, but she’s got to go grocery shopping eventually. And that’s when you’ll strike!
Practice smiling and making eye contact before you go out. Neither one comes naturally to Seattlites, so try it with a mirror until you look a little less like a weirdo.

Aren’t you glad you’ve never had to go on a diet?
Put your beer goggles on
Are you serious about this or not? If you want to spend your nights next to something more fun than your lifesize Princess Leia figurine (still new in box), then you’re going to have to lower your standards. Don’t feel bad, your new girlfriend will be doing the same thing.

Get lucky
The mating ritual of the native Seattlite occurs in a gathering place known colloquially as “Belltown”. Though the sorority girl’s natural habitat is the U-district (and occasionally as far west as Fremont), you may occasionally be fortunate enough to hear their mating call around Belltown. “Oh my god, I’m soooo drunk!”

Learn to dress
The three drawers worth of polo shirts you have from every single software startup in Seattle are now off limits. You never even worked at some of those companies, why on earth did you run to their booth at that trade show three years ago, just for one of those hideous T-shirts? Relegate them to the trash heap where they belong and get yourself some fine new duds.
You wish you looked this good.
Amazing clothes, amazing prices.

Sometimes you’ve just got to wipe the slate clean and start over. Don’t do it on top of the Aurora Bridge, though.
Make sure she's not a lesbian
Though Capitol Hill is not quite as gay as San Francisco’s Castro, Seattle is still a warm and welcoming city for people of all lifestyles. If you’re hanging out at the Wild Rose, Seattle’s only women’s bar, just be aware that that wink from the cute blonde across the room was more likely directed at the hot brunette sitting behind you.
Seattle’s only women’s bar. There are women here who can beat you up. Consider yourself warned.

Give it up, you’re not that lucky.
