I hear this sentiment a lot, and I guess I don't quite undersstand it. I've lived in NYC, SF, and Boston, and dating here feels the same? Like I get the flakiness and the dedication to your job, but is that really worse here than other high CoL coastal cities like SF and NYC?
It really isn't as bad as people make it seem.
A lot of people, when they move here, depend on their peers or friend's opinions of dating in DC. If the peer or friend has had a bad experience that they share, the person will go into a date with a fairly negative approach, thinking it's not going to lead anywhere. I have friends who have had terrible experiences but I don't let them deter me from going on a date with an open mind.
People who mention they are a bad texter on their profile really do not want to invest enough time in the process and expect results to just come their way without putting in the effort. These people, in my opinion, are the emotionally unavailable ones that everyone complains about. If you cannot communicate in an effective manner, then it's you who is the issue, not the other person.
DC area being transient can make it challenging to meet someone with the idea of settling down in a long term relationship/marriage but it's not impossible.
