Dating in ATL

I think we have all heard if you want your relationship to last don't move to Atlanta. Also don't marry a native Atlantan. The notion is women down here will do anything to be with a man even if he is married.
My question - Are women so desperate they will accept anything to be with a man?

Why does the side chick allow a man to run their lives like he doesn't have some1 at home?

I'm a native Atlantan and I moved from this city because of all the transplants that came to Atlanta. It's not the native Atlantan women that will do anything for a man, it is the women that move to this city with fake identities. True Atlanta women background can be researched but women from other parts of the country can come here and tell a bunch of lies and make the entire city look bad. Ten years ago native Atlanta women were on every man's list to marry now because our reputations have been tarnished by all the fakeness we have to take the good with the bad!

Native Atlantan, I have to agree with you, Back in the days most people up north were running down here to get a GA PEACH. Now, it appears that is the last person you want to deal with. Being single in Atl I think I have met 2 woman from Atl.

I feel women here tend to believe the notion that most good men here are gay or married and allow themselves to enter in to unhealthy relationships, which I believe is an indication of low self esteem and no values.

For example I have a friend that refuses to have oral sex, I joke with her about it. but I respect that she has enough confidence not to do something just because she knows that what a man may want.

The same goes for side chicks, it is an esteem issue if you allow someone that is truly yours dictate your life.

I'm new to ATL I am not sure about true ATLien women, but the women I came across seem to have game like dudes.

They seem to know the numbers are not in there favor. So they are willing to get down with no strings and not be all emotionally attached. There are a lot of strong educated independent type women in ATL that are very aggressive not sure if it is a good thing or bad thing yet.

All I can say is this....Unless you have lived in every major US city you can not generalize that all Atlanta women are a certain way or do certain things.
All Atlanta women are not like this - Atlanta women should not be put into a category because not everyone is the same. Just like not all women in Miami, New York, DC, or any other major city act the EXACT same way.
If thats what you always come across then maybe the issue is not the woman...it could be you.
We all say that we look at whats on the inside and not on the outside but thats a load of crap. We see something that appeals to us and then we approach and thats all well and good but before we go and assume that because this person is from Atlanta they are going to be a certain way talk to them and see what they are about.

myvoice I totally agree that we look for whats on the outside before we consider anything about the inside. I believe most people categorize people based on looks, dress etc. This is how we qualify people and if they don't fit a certain critera we will move on.

In addition, people speak from personal experience. People I have spoken to say women there are 2 types of women in Atlanta, the ones that will accept anything thrown at them because they are desperate and the ones that are too independent for anyone. I thinks this is a dating problem no matter what city or state your in.

Dakim,
You are right people do speak on what they know and apparently the person speaking on the fact that there are two types of women in Atlanta are only around those two types of women.
This "independent" woman that you speak of is a perception and only viewed negatively when a man does not get to dominate in a manner in which he has done in the past. Not every woman is going to just say "yes baby" thats not grounds for a healthy relationship. Men that have issues with "independent" women are not used to a woman speaking her mind and having an opinion. There are independent women who accept anything thrown at them as well because a person can be both. It all depends on your mindset and what that individual is willing to accept and/or live with.

Do you feel there are other types of women besides the two mentioned.

Also, is it a woman speaking her mind and having an opinion vs belittling a man because she feels I dont' need a man. I think its safe to say when we don't feel we need someone, their thoughts and feelings are not always a priority, because its a priveldge for them to be with us.

I agree with you it all about what a person accepts. But I still think some independent woman take it too far. LOL.

Thank goodness all women aren't like this. But you do have a lot of women who doesn't feel they fit in this category.
I don't think they are desperate though. They are just dummies. What I find astonishing is that some of these women really don't understand they are not valued by men who treat them like this. Nor does it seem like they care. They actually try to rationalize the situation.
It's not them being used but them being the user. Or so they think.
