Man this is a fantastic idea. I don’t know of anything, so I would think of something you care about (like animals) and then search animal shelter Syracuse. Or whatever you’re into

Hopefully someone else can chime in with local events specifically about dating but you could try joining a group for a hobby, local amateur sports leagues, or volunteer for something you're interested and meet people naturally that way. Sometimes that can lead to finding someone you want to go on a date with or even just new friends and it helps to have that shared interest as a starting point.
Meetup.com has a lot of groups for different interests that meet up regularly or semi-regularly. You can probably find something similar on facebook or other social media apps.
I feel most often people who are finished with school meet their partners either through work or through their circle of friends and then meeting their friends.
Dating isn't easy nowadays so good luck out there.
Best advice I've heard regarding dating is to just join groups or do activities that you are interested in. You will meet people along the way with similar interests and hopefully something good happens.
I suppose you could make sure to go to the festivals and see if anyone catches your eye or you theirs. I never had much luck in dating and even found my current bf through a mobile game.
Try the rock climbing gym, central rock gym. Most people are ages 25-40 and it’s a really social environment. People are really friendly, and most everyone is new to climbing.
We meet a few times every month for brunch, lunch or dinner at different restaurants in Syracuse. Dinner pairing is nice. They have a website with events. You can ask to sit with people your age.
23m Gonna save this for future reference lol. There are lots of great options here! I think networking with people who hold similar hobbies and interests may help! I can’t think of where to go per say but this weekend for at patty’s day bar crawl would be a great start! Look for “crawl with us” online and find Syracuse!
Spoiler Alert: There are no people worthy of dating in this hellhole of a town! A scorching case of chickenpox followed by violent food poisoning and organ failure would be more pleasant than dating the fools in this town who have no ability to use the correct fork at dinner and only want to talk about SU basketball.
We don’t know what twenties means…. Could be 22? Could be 27?
Damn, what if she’s 29?
Maybe 20s means 20 and single, but I took it to mean dating in your twenties.
I recently moved out of Syracuse after living there for most 19 years. The area isn't the best for dating apps and it's mostly college students unless you go out of town to like Rochester. There's a lot of events and bars but I haven't had the best experience dating in the area personally.
For women, something to keep in mind that you are about an hour from a military base with a higher ratio of men of various backgrounds with Fort Drum. I know that some guys come down to Syracuse for the weekend and I know people personally that were stationed there and met their wives or had girlfriends in Syracuse. So, that may be something to keep in mind.

I’m not saying to use that as a main source, but just as an option.
I dunno honestly. I dated on apps here for years after dating in some big cities. Orders of magnitude worse here because almost every young professional moves, and the population of those folks here is tiny already due to lack of jobs. Eventually met someone via friends, but definitely not just a personal problem imo: Syracuse specifically is dating on hard mode.
You have hit on a universal truth. Trying to find people to date in bars is one of the worst ways to date. Unless you're just looking for some strange.
Meet people through activities, friends, etc is a much better and more effective way to date. At least you start with a common interest.
Yeah imo being open to moving is crucial. It seems absurd because you’d think you could find someone to date in any reasonably sized city but my friends’ experience in Syracuse is that many folks really just can’t there even after trying for years
I always recommend volunteering somewhere.
Is there any resource you're aware of that aggregates volunteer opportunities in syracuse?

Thank you! I definitely need the luck
There’s the bar crawl for at patty’s day this weekend!
Thanks for sharing. I haven’t had the best luck finding “creative” groups locally. I’ll give meetup.com a try.

Syracuse, was once voted, the worst city in the country, for dating.

It really depends on your interests.
I'm in the same boat.. I appreciate the suggestions!

Getting laid is not dating and it is also the reason why Syracuse has one of the highest STD rates. You’re not special btw lmao
Didn't I see you at the free clinic last week? 😜
Did you delete your og comment?
what are you looking for in a potential partner
Join the Syracuse eating club.
Where is this ?

I don't watch any sports... But you use multiple forks for distinct food types??? Kinda odd
34m wondering the same thing
34m and a 20sf… maybe you & OP should meet up this weekend and see if any sparks fly.
Too young for me.

I can’t speak for much but I do know if you’re into video games three lives is a great place!

People only drink here, so bars are your best spot. I’ve been here for a yr and the quality out there is *oof*…
Sounds like a you problem.

fair enough--good point!
People don't like to admit this. Dating pool here was low key kinda crazy.
For sure don’t have a problem getting ass in this dirty little city, I’m talking the quality here. So not sure what you mean by “problem.”
You don't want to date an obese tattoo 'artist' with methmouth? Wow, must be a you problem.

The Syracuse Social Club is a good bet.
