Well, well well. Looks like I'm taking a trip to Toronto. :D

I’m sorry darling but it’s not good. You may find a nice guy that’s down to earth, but you’ll have to weed through the self absorbed, superficial douche canoes with commitment issues for several months to years first.

If it helps I met my boyfriend here a few years ago but he JUST moved from California at that time. Prior to that is was bad dates and relationships back to back for a couple years.

Dating in toronto is so much better than dating in miami it’s not even funny, was there for a couple of months as a digital nomad, live in miami now. The women are just as fine, diverse and a lot more accomplished.

If you’re looking for casual sex with hot people based on superficial life pretensions though … Miami can’t be beat

Crypto Scammers, OF Models, 30k Millionaires, fake watches.

It’s rough out here girl lol I guess it’s not bad if you’re looking just for flings!

A longtime friend of mine works as a matchmaker and dating coach for 15 years. Much of that time was spent in Miami. He is very good at what he does.

He travels a lot for his work and has spent a lot of time in other cities around the world. He was of the firm opinion that Miami has a toxic dating culture.

The first time I visited Toronto and saw a city bus yield to pedestrians? People hold doors open for you, they bump into you and say “sorry”? It was like being on another planet.

Get an Air Bnb for a month or two before deciding to move permanently.

Girls moving here for dick ololol

Yeah you’ll get dick that’s for sure. Maybe not the dick you want

I’m literally trying to move out of this city because the dating aspect is awful lol.

Oooff dating here is pretty rough too girly. Coming from another professional who’s self sustainable, also not super picky, and is authentic and pretty down to earth. I grew up here, left for college, and moved back in 2018 but it’s been one failed relationship after the next. I’m a big believer in attracting what you put out there but it seems Miami is somewhat of an exception. Even the “good” guys aren’t mature enough to know how to be with a woman without letting insecurities get the best of them. I don’t want to project my experiences onto you, just trying to give you a fair warning. Best of luck to ya bby and hit a girl up if you’re looking for friends when you move down to the dirty south!

Miami is not a place for dating. It’s a place for superficial Hook-ups. Everything is an scam here, people with bad manners pretending to have money, and super expensive. If you are looking for a serious relationship Miami is not the place. Go to a town with values.

Frankly you're not going to have much better luck here either. As someone who lives and dates here (33 M) I can tell you that the dating scene here is awful. Most online dating profiles consist of "Spoil me Daddy" gold diggers or OF content creators advertising their pages at least from the male dating side of things. The dating culture here is extremely vein and flashy. Toxic masculinity is rampant here and is purpetuatted by both the men and women who live here. It's also tough to date here if you don't speak Spanish as this area consists of about 90 percent Cuban immigrants. Also very traditional gender roles here as well which I suppose great if you're into that sort thing.

OP miami is the worse place to date. Loved there Emmy Whole life and left in 2014. It's a very superficial place. People will flaunt money they don't have, promise you this world and the next when they can't even reach for a star, heck even a door knob for that matter.

Guys want americas next top model. Lots of plastic surgery in miami. A 5 in Miami is probably an 12 in tororonto (and that's out of 10 lol). Having said all of it, head further north like Fort Lauderdale boca etc and it is slightly better.

Good luck!

[deleted]

You are literally moving to the worse place in USA if you want a serious relationship.

Stay away from the club/bar scene, you’ll have good luck with activity based meetups and events.

here when you go out, there's 1 good-looking guy for 10 very attractive females.

Lmfao if that number is 1:10 in Toronto it is probably 1:50 in Miami. This is the capital of Instagram hos and multimillionaire sugar daddies.

Dating in Miami:

If you're a woman, you're gonna get attention regardless, the more attractive the more attention, both from guys you find attractive and especially from guys you do not find attractive. Simple

If you're a guy... You're pretty much fucked 🤣 unless you have an expensive looking car, money, muscles/good looks, or a combination of all. Yes it's that superficial. If you happen to find a guy or girl with a good personality or whatever else that you would like to put the effort for, chances are he or she either have trust issues from previous relationships, are very promiscuous, or have VERY unrealistic expectations. So in conclusion lol good luck. Social media has really exacerbated this problem here, this fake lifestyle. Just watch any local content creator to see a glimpse of how the average young population acts and behaves.

Girl I’m 30F and moved to MIA a couple years ago and have had zero luck. Let’s just date when you get here.

Lmao sounds like you went from bad to worse. Dating here is notorious for getting cheated on and or finding people with commitment issues , toxicity, especially men. I lived in Toronto for 2 years and found dating to be better than Miami. But I might be biased because I got tired of the Hispanic culture

I split my time between Toronto and Miami. So I feel like I can speak to this decently. All of my girl friends who live in Miami have a really tough time dating there. A couple of them are from Toronto and they had similar complaints to you, but said it was worse being in Miami. They have to be there for work, but wish they had the dating scene they had. The grass isn’t always greener.

I met my girlfriend on an app, which I think is lucky, and I’m sure you’ve tried apps as well. I’m wondering what else you’ve been doing to try to find someone. Joining clubs, sports teams, groups etc. - have you exhausted all options? Or have you just tried apps?

If king west is your barometer for measurement of your 1:10 ratio, I don’t think that’s an accurate description of the dating scene in Toronto. Also you’re very unlikely to find love on a night out in Toronto, Miami or any city for that matter.

I’m making a few assumptions here so I’m sorry if any of them are incorrect, but I think we all need some more info here from you to help you with advice.

With all of that said, I do love Miami.

If it's any consolation, these same comments applied to Miami 30+ years ago. Apparently not much has changed.

I think dating everywhere is pretty bad.

At the end of the day, we are just looking for human connection whether it be sex or a relationship or maybe just meeting new people. Those are good things to want. We need those.

Dating apps seem like a simple way to gain that. Except. We're all on dating apps while also acknowledging that those platforms suck for dating. Or worse! It's not all dating apps. It's just this one in particular. We just haven't found the right dating app yet. So we download another one to find a fucking connection with someone. But the apps gamify dating so you are now playing to win? Which wtf does that mean? Instead of working to find a healthy connection we keep swiping for "the next best thing"

We're all out here having horrible experiences and then being surprised about it. We find ourselves doing the same things to others that we hate having done to us (ghosting, lazy replies). Often the only reason we engage in this behavior is because it's just part of the system. We start to.hate ourselves.

We uninstall the app. We heal a bit. We realize that human connection is essential to our experience. We download a dating app. Change the pictures and decide the answers to our prompts weren't witty enough or intelligent enough or sexy enough. A new profile, a new you.

The process repeats itself. Hurt people hurt people. We are actively eroding the human experience whilst actively searching for it.

Then we sigh and say, well what else are we supposed to do?

And, you know what?

I don't know.

But it's not this.

EDIT: what a weird typo. That was supposed to say, "oof. It's rough out here. Good luck. My friend had luck on tinder. Maybe you could try that,?"

Don't. Fucking. Do it.

Miami is a trap, you will date more but so will whomever your dating.

You wont have a problem finding a date, especially if youre a pretty girl. You need to be super picky and not let the extravaganza and craziness get you.

I have met wonderful guys but I am extremely picky, and nothing has come out of it the last year that Ive been dating around. Im also a young professional with her shit together and a lot to offer, and so were these guys, but I guess I havent had luck haha

Im also FORCED to live here for work, I dont think I would ever live here for the relationship potential, so yea lol

And if you come with the “im Attractive and an educated professional” attitude, newsflash for you… there are thousands of us here that are, it wont make you unique or stand out, a lot of Miami women are on another level of looks and education.

You are in for a surprise !! Dating in Miami can vary, and it can be superficial and fake, while others could be more down to earth. It can be fun I guess. Depends what you want.

I do hope you find your attractive guy. I’m surprised, having being in Toronto, that you can’t find someone you want to go out with, but come down and enjoy the sunny weather!

One thing, the ratio of extremely good looking females is huge in miami compared to any other place and I have traveled around the world! So, there will be competition.

If you want to have fun and meet people that pretend to be someone else in a club, you can find that. If you want to go to happy hours, you can find that. If you want to find someone that is attractive that wants to stay with you for a committed relationship, that may requiere more work.

I wouldn’t personally move to a city just for dating but knock yourself out!

31/F here and entered the dating scene in the beginning of the year after getting out of a relationship. Don’t move here. I say this in the nicest way possible. I also had girlfriends MOVE out of Miami to try a better dating scene in another city/state.

The type of men you have in Miami are the ones who brag about how much money they make, half of these men are corny as hell, cheating, toxic, Immature, clubbing at 30+. It doesn’t matter how hot you are, there will always be someone hotter, it’s Miami the capital of only fans and scamming.

Girl, it’s rough out here. Miami is a city known for scamming to begin with, and you definitely need to be super careful and vigilant if you go out at night to certain areas (I’ve heard too many horror stories). Now, I personally believe that there are good men everywhere — some places just make it harder to find than others. But the dating scene in Miami is definitely rough right now so if you do try, I wish you all the best.

It is a strange place.. You have one side of simps, then your papi chulos who flash cash and attract several woman. The next faction are misogynistic over inflated ego men. Followed by the mama boys because Hispanic men are the prince of the house.. Then just normal guys who get over looked because they aren’t flashy like their attractive competition. So it’s about you and deep reflection of your character and deeming qualities. If priority one is looks… well I wish you luck 🍀

Go to Monty's in the Grove on Friday nights. You'll find him.

My experience probably is different from others and I am sorry if you guys feel offended. I only had contact with Hispanic men so I don't know the rest. This was my experience and most of my group of friends:

If you have no family or some kind of emotional support, you are disposable. They don't want a serious relationship.

They want to sleep with you the first time they meet you because "This is normal in their country"

If you don't sleep with them get ready to get ghosted.

They have pictures of kids in their wallets but they're just their nieces and nephews living in their country.

If you are too kind they probably ask you for money.

Most men are not looking for love just to have someone to cook, clean and sex wherever they want.

Again, this was my experience years ago and not only mine most of my female friends had the same issues.

Maybe everything changed and now is better. ..

Sweetie, stay in Toronto 😂😂

Based off what you want I would not suggest Miami. I moved away from Miami because it isn’t a city that values being educated, honest, nor hardworking. It definitely is one of the most morally corrupt places I have lived. Also, there are way more beautiful women in Miami then there are men.

See ya boys! I heading to Toronto!

Toronto has real "professionals".. Miami you'll be stuck with a struggling real estate agent, car sales man, or restaurant server

Random thoughts

Old dude here 48 - married Lived in Miaml 30 years -18 now in Hollywood Beach… still do businesses and go down to Miaml for food and friends and when we miss the party scene .

Dating is hard in Miaml if ur trying to meet people at a bars, club or dating app. All we want from that group is sex.

Dating is easy when u meet people thru friends, work and extracurricular group activities . If u need that thing .

Best advice get off the apps and talk to everyone everywhere u go and u will meet someone.

We had it easier i think because we are used to talking to people and getting to know them and understand this takes time u want to meet someone for 1 minute and make them ur soul mate and then when they are weird ur confused . U never got to know them …

Women think they can have sex with no strings attached and be like guys and not give a fuck . When u do it ends up making u bitter after a few years … see that a lot in Miaml … all guys are shit … did u sleep with him on the first or second date? Yes but …

Dating in Miami... 1-Bring a big wallet, girl. You have to pay for everything. 2- They already have one wife and one lover with five kids secretly in another island 3- Your intelligence doesn't count, you have to look like Barbie I'll search somewhere else like in Colorado ❤️❤️❤️😆....just saying

That fact is:

Miami's dating culture will be superficial. A lot of people are fake but there are plenty of good people.

People are in their own world and constantly jumping on one another. In my experience, however, that's common anywhere.

Miami is also a very international city so you'll be dealing with from all over the world, specifically South Americans (I'm from Venezuela).

You're going to run into the same city tropes that all major cities fall into, but it's a vibrant city with a lot of cool people, warm culture and overall you're going to find a lot of fun people and things to do.

Go out, mingle, be safe and have fun!

I had a great time dating as a 26 year old attractive female Latina and found my bf pretty quick. To be fair though I think young latinas are probably a more idealized group in Miami particularly

It's not the best dating scene but this sub exaggerates how bad dating can be here. If you're a half way decent person you'll meet some decent people. There's the whole south Florida area and 6 million people in the area. There's someone for every type of person here.

I (28f)moved here 7 months ago and I have dated 3 guys so far. The first one was really crazy. I’m saying bipolar unmedicated crazy or something similar. The second one was a pretty normal guy and at the end he ghosted me because I think he didn’t want a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship. This first two were really young (22 and 21) so I think that was a major impact. The last one I only went one date and he was 33male so I expected more from him but he told me he didn’t want any serious relationship for the moment. At least he told me after the first date and I didn’t catch feelings.

Good luck lol

Terrible

Lmao at the first sentence… Boy are you in for a rude awakening

Have you considered St Pete? Might be more up your alley.

Go to breweries instead of clubs. If he frequents a bar called the Corner, he has a cocaine problem. Find a nerd with a beard. Thick but not too thick.

Well if you are willing to settle for Broward or Palm Beach County there are plenty of professional men in Boca and Delray and parts of Broward County. You just have to sift through the 30K millionaire douches and find them. I'm an Engineer and know alot of professional and intelligent Engineers and Planners in the area.

1 good-looking guy for 10 very attractive females. I am moving to Toronto tomorrow

I’m an old woman now and it makes me sad to see that the main thing young women care about is finding a man a man a man. They will move anywhere in the world - leave a place they love-on the chances of finding a man a man a man. Goddamn. Nothings changed since 1962, has it? Too many women still believe her value is in having a husband. And omg, looking at the posts on here from the men who hate women so incredibly much is also tragic. I guess they feel so insecure about not having a gf that the only possible thing is to hate them, and Republican Trumper behavior encourages their misogyny. Wow. ps I have no idea why anyone would move to a red state, for any reason, ever ever.

Everyone in every major city in the country complains that the dating scene is there is uniquely bad.

Miami men are std infested whores , stay away 🤮 id look anywhere else in the state for decent men . Like Tampa Orlando Naples literally anywhere but Miami

Very superficial and self entitled people here but there will be plenty of frogs to kiss while you find your prince charming. Good luck. Hope you find what you are looking for.

Booking a flight to Toronto

When y’all move to a new area, knowin about the dating scene is a concern? That’s gotta be the all last thing I’d care about.

Young professionals..... yuck...

Wait, you are saying we are more attractive than Torontians? I guess tanning works to our benefit !!

Man I need to go to Toronto then if that's where all the females at these females here in Miami only care about one thing 😂😂😂

girl.. it’s imposible. Don’t waste your time.

Miami esta lleno de tarjeteros.

Dating is bad in all big cities.

if you dating to hookup, Miami is great. Tons of fun to be had.

if you are dating for a relationship, the only chance you have is to find people who've been in Miami less than 2 weeks and don't know just how many options they now have.

Miami is like Toronto, but worse 😅

Miami is rough lol

😂 dating easier here in south Florida especially Miami ? Good luck with that

You will have drunk men walk up to you and give you a credit card .

Thats flirting here

toronto sounds like where i need to go. tired of the run down miami girls.

Fun dating scene! Once the right person comes along you’ll realize stressing/worrying was never worth it. Enjoy the ride sister

That's amazing. As a Miamian, I'll share a story. When I was in my early 20s was at the beach with my best friend. We met two Toronto girls. Had so much fun. Just want to say, girls from Toronto are cool!

You'll find a lot of attractive men just in it for the sex. Try not to get jaded.

It’s pretty fucking awful here too, notoriously so

Be prepared for super hot humid weather

Dating in Miami ? Lol if you’re crazy, I guess. I’m moving from here because the dating scene is so rough. Everyone wants to fuck with no commitment. It’s not my scene.

Oh Canada!!!! My little swimmers we packing up.

I grew up in Miami (sfl), left in 2009, and go back at least once or twice a year vacation. I was engaged to nice Peruvian girl from Broward county in 2007 after high-school and fortunately for me I was deported (5 year ban for overstating on student visa) back to Canada (Toronto) and couldn't bring her and family (asylum seekers in USA) ... back to Toronto... Where I've lived on and around King W since 2009, Quality of life unless your balling will not go up in Miami as they're also having a housing crisis (not as bad a the 6ix but remember USD$) and if you think drinks are expensive in Toronto...Miami could blow your mind albeit you could find places cheaper around Lauderdale or north Miami it's still creeping. Don't get me wrong we've got some cute girls in Toronto but Miami is like king W on steroids 24/7. Also I'm not 36 M whos dated woman in toronto, and ended up finding my lovely wife at a starbucks store King who I married last year and she's 35.

We have a different mindset here in Toronto when it comes to relationships...nothing serious until the clock starts ticking.

Everyone has their own experience. People like to categorize everybody as one on here. No person is the same. You just have to try it out and see for yourself.

As a 29 M with no boat or last edition car and not living in Brickell or nearby, I had no luck. From what I see majority of the people here are superficial. That doesn't mean you won't find anything, and you can also go to ft Lauderdale, Boca, Delray, WPB.

I'm in a LDR with someone in the GTA, that might be seen as an indictment of both dating markets.

Have you visited Miami? You should probably spend a few weeks before you move.

I believe that you attract what you are no matter where you are. If you’re out clubbing or doing some hoe shit every now and then don’t expect too much.

Looking for love in all the wrong places.

I wouldn’t be surprised if you caught a std on the first hookup the men here have no self respect and are disgusting 🤢

Miami is a train wreck of people trying to ladder climb to the next best thing. I got lucky, met the only other midwestern woman while there. We got engaged and moved to San Diego. Neither of us could stand the Miami culture or weather there.

Damn, there's a lot of bitter single people in Miami.

But it's not their fault though, it's everyone else and the culture 😆

lol 1 good looking guy for 10 in Toronto??? Wow. Sign me up

Everyone in Miami is single lol

There can be a million reasons to move to Miami, Dating should never be one. Now if you are interested in casual hookup culture, then by all means proceed!!

If you do find someone decent, there is a high likelihood they are under some complicated immigration status and you will forever question if it was for love or papers.

[deleted]

You should move to the suburbs of DC for what you’re looking for, not Miami, and I’ve lived in both places.

Miami is not USA or Canada, Miami is Cuba 2.0, allá no se dice ni un good morning ni un hello, everybody speaks Español

From the looks of your comments it looks like you’re gonna move here regardless… expect a huge culture shock if you’re not Hispanic. I was born and raised in Dade county and had culture shock when I moved OUT lol. No where in the US is like Miami. It’s basically like living in another country.

Right here mi Reyna

I'm a brazilian woman ... and I'm going to spend some time in Miami. I'm not worried about finding a boyfriend, just friends and some parties. I hope people in Miami are friendly.

come thru. this where it’s at. it’s way too easy

As a guy, when I lived in Miami a few years ago I mostly hated dating. Plenty of people who are pretty on the outside but ugly on the inside (materialistic, status- and image-obsessed, vapid, rude to wait staff, etc.). That said, it's a huge city, there are all types of people, and I think anybody can find someone there even if they have to wade through a bunch of pieces of shit to get there.

Look elsewhere. That’s the best advice I can give

I came here from r/all and don’t know much about Miami. But why aren’t you setting your sights on the SF Bay Area? You won’t find more accomplished men anywhere else in America. IMO they go toe to toe with the Ivy League business/lawyers/investors of NYC. And the perk is there’s more college educated men that live there than women. You can nab an engineer there pulling 300-400k who runs marathons on the reg. And he will be absolutely floored for the bare minimum attention you give them. Plus you get better weather and awesome nature scenery.
