Madison is home to some whose identities are defined in part by their niche active communities. The city is practically built for active individuals, including cyclists Madison reached platinum status in as a bike-friendly community by the League of American Bicyclists , runners the city hosts hundreds of races and events each year, including the multi-sport event Ironman Wisconsin and crossfitters the Reebok Crossfit Games were held in Madison—and are scheduled for this year and in —drawing an estimated 72, spectators.
But Madison still has a lot to offer, Gard says. And when it comes to what he looks for in a woman, intelligence is attractive, he says. The downside of that is that all the smart people have already wised up and married each other. Seemingly, Gard is in the right place to find intelligent women. The Atlantic published an article that ranked Madison seventh out of U. Metro areas with , or more residents in percentages by which college-educated women younger than 35 outnumber college-educated men younger than The Atlantic article also states that overall, college towns, tech centers and the Midwest are among the metro areas that offer some of the most abundant educated-male populations.
Madison fits all three of those descriptions. But certainly the quality of the personalities and their interests in Madison is refreshing and hope inspiring. Looking to train your body and mind? Try out one of these dates! In comparing Madison to Los Angeles, Gard argues that life stages seem to happen at different times in either place.
But in Madison, he sees people in their late 20s already married and having children, or women who already have children and are back in the dating scene to find a partner—not to find someone to start another family with. These are the individuals in the dating scene who are reentering the single population after either a long-term commitment, a marriage that ended or having already raised children.
According to Census Reporter of Dane County, the divorce rate for local males is 8 percent and the divorce rate for local females is 10 percent. In addition, 1 percent of males are widowed and 6 percent of females are widowed.
Nationally, Pew Research reports that while divorce statistics are complicated, many argue that the divorce rate has generally been stable or has fallen since the s. DeLamater says a lot of people older than 45 and currently dating are those who were in relationships and lost their significant other or got divorced. So it makes sense that it would be even more difficult to find that person a second time. By the time you get in your mids, DeLamater says, many are already married or in long-term committed relationships, so it can be even harder to create a relationship with someone similar in age.
Pfeil has raised two daughters—a junior in college and a junior in high school—and for the past 13 years since her divorce, her focus has been on her kids. Now, Pfeil is looking for someone with whom she can go with to see a movie, grab dinner, travel or walk the dog. Consistently, she finds divorced men are looking for younger women. Nationally, marriage rates have fallen, but cohabitation with a partner continues to rise. While about half of cohabiters those living with an unmarried partner are younger than 35, an increasing number of Americans ages 50 and older are in cohabiting relationships, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis of the Current Population Survey.
DeLamater says there are older individuals who are looking for someone to share the rest of their life with in Madison. Laura Hunt, the program coordinator at the Madison Senior Center, says most are looking for companionship only, not necessarily someone to live with.
As a way for seniors to make those connections in Madison, Hunt started a speed dating event. The center, located on West Mifflin Street, has hosted two speed dating sessions. There have been more women interested in participating than men, so Hunt often has to turn away women. She says men typically do not admit they are looking for someone when they get lonely. By maintaining a relationship, DeLamater says there is a responsibility to stay healthy and avoid risky behaviors. There is still one couple together since the very first speed dating session, Hunt reports.
We saved the best for last. And every path leads to a unique relationship, which today is as diverse and nontraditional as ever. Not everyone fits into a cookie-cutter category. Not every box is so easily checked.
