Wow, I'm Mexican, I didn't realize it was so offensive to be Mexican and breathe the same air as you.

Hi, I just read your post and have been thinking of moving to SD from New York City. I am 42 and looking to eventually settle down, so that one piece about guys in there 40's doesn't sound reassuring, but would like your opinion on whether it seems like a good fit.

Mexicans are humans just like everyone else, so there is nothing wrong with humans being all over the place--this is earth after all! Some of us happen to be doctors, or lawyers, and others do gardening or construction, but we all have something to offer the world. Sadly not everyone seems to pay enough attention to bring that out in others. Let's focus on using our differences to enrich the world we live in, instead of using those differences to perpetuate hate.

Tooch: If you REALLY think that "it's hard for a 40 year old guy to meet a high quality woman" in San Diego, you've probably already ruled out U.S. Military women! San Diego has a HUGE military population, including a lot of 40-ish single women -- many of them never-married officers and senior NCOs -- who are choosing to remain here when they "retire" (after 20 years' service) and are receiving monthly pension payments equal to half their active-duty service salaries. Military and ex-military women are task-oriented (read as: SO not "high-maintenance"!), are often extremely well-educated (commissioned officers have AT LEAST a B.A. or B.S. degree, and many senior non-commissioned officers have earned a B.S. or B.A. while serving as well as a truckload of advanced vocational and management training), are respectful of legitimate authority, have conservative family values at a much higher rate than the civilian population, and in many cases are eager beyond belief to "settle down" to the white picket fence and a couple of kids (step- or adoptive- are FINE!). If those qualities do not indicate to you a "quality woman" to you, I don't know what does! Of course, Tooch, if you at 40-ish think a "quality woman" is a 20-something binge-drinking party girl dressed like Jersey Shore, you're right: you CAN'T compete with vacationing frat boys who stagger around puking into the gutters of the Gaslamp District (believe me, I see this all the time -- I LIVE in the heart of the Gaslamp). But why would you WANT to compete against drunken frat boys for 20-something party girls? If you're serious about wanting a "quality woman," please give San Diego another look -- with military women specifically in mind!

Wow. The post above is old, but worth responding to on this point alone: "The Tooch" still says things like "Mexicans are all over the place". Tooch - there's your clue. A high quality woman, in San Diego or not, will not be interested in someone who thinks this way.
