Anyone else had these sorts of active duty to civilian transition problems?

First of all, I would like answers from people who served ONE or TWO enlistments MAXIMUM and are not military RETIREES as I am someone who only did one enlistment in the Marine Corps and then got out. Secondly, if you HAVE NOT EVER WORN ON THE UNIFORM OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, then I RESPECTFULLY request that you do not answer my question and/or give me smart aleck responses because that is NOT what I'm looking for. So, to get to my question, I am debating on whether or not I should stay in Colorado when I transfer to a four year university or if I should move to Texas and attend A&M or UT-Austin. I moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado after getting out of the Marines because my sister's now ex husband pulled some strings and helped me get a civilian job with high tech company here manufacturing semi conductors. So, my place of work closed down and I'm still here. Unfortunately, I have found it impossible to find a g/f here or to date because Colorado Springs is mostly an Army and Air Force town where all of the women are married and is pretty much like Jacksonville, NC (Camp Lejeune) or Fayetteville, NC (Fort Bragg). The few unmarried civilian women that do live here are VERY unapproachable, stuck up, rude, and cold and will not give you the time of day UNLESS you grew up here in Colorado Springs or went to high school here. In other words, women here are EXTREMELY cliquish. I am from the South and I know for a fact that women aren't like this everywhere and are just like this here in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Finding a g/f and wife is important to me because I would like to be able to get settle down and have my own family one day. On that note, I realize that it is imperative that I pick the correct city and state to relocate to that will be conducive to my goals. Other ex military folks have said that I should SOLELY focus on my education right now and not worry about finding a g/f or wife and I disagree with that statement in the highest degree. Folks, I am a 28 y/o man for pete's sake and I am not getting any younger. I have been single for the entire time that I have lived in Colorado Springs due to the backwards people that live here. I will be at least 30 years old because I delayed my education because I sold my soul to the Marine Corps for no less than FIVE years of my adult life and that is the reason that I am just now getting my education UNLIKE everyone else my age. Being 28, do you seriously believe that I should continue to "not worry about finding a g/f until after I graduate"? Seriously? If I heed the advice that some of you all have told me then I am going to end up a 40 y/o single guy and that's not what I want out of life. Also, before anyone brings this up, Marines are generally hated in disliked by young women in eastern North Carolina because their dads tell them that Marines are nothing but a bunch of trouble makers and I learned that by personal experience! So now, being stationed at Camp Lejeune as a Marine is pretty much a prison sentence for us single guys. Believe it or not, being stationed at Camp Lejeune causes ALOT of first term single male Marines to EAS (i.e. get out) and I was one of them.
