After going on many dates with men from DC/NOVA, I'm starting to think they're kind of stiff...

I’m an American who grew up abroad but have been living in the DMV area for six years now. After going on several dates with locals, I’ve noticed that the typical guy here tends to be pretty serious—there’s not much flirting or joking around. Of course, this is just my personal impression. If you’re not originally from the area, how do you see the locals?
