Well, I am 32 and from Cincinnati as well. I am slightly older than you, so my perspective is different. The city is definitely conservative, but I don't think the younger generation is at all. Kudos to you to know who you are at 20. I was also like you at 20. I did not go out looking for anything serious. I was interested in doing me. I wanted to graduate from college and start my career before I even thought of worrying about a serious relationship or a child. I was raised to be independent and strong. I was never the type to just expect a man to take care of me. There are women like this here in this conservative city. I agree with the above comments that maybe you just haven't met the right person. Keep doing what you do and the right person might just pop in your life when you least expect it.
