I’d say decent. A lot of transplants so it’s a mixed bag. Idk what this other guy’s talking about but Raleigh is def left leaning. Definitely be sure to live ITB.

I’m “old” and married a long time, but I am chiming in to say that if you are young and single, you want to live downtown, somewhere near The Village District or Glenwood South, or near North Hills. Those are spendier as far as rent / purchase prices, but if you are much outside of that, you will have a suburban feel and need to travel every weekend to where all the social activities are.

Are u white? Then you’re fine. Also, don’t expect to have the same pool of women as people in the south won’t come from as impressive backgrounds nor care about the work the same amount

As I hear from my single friends, not amazing. But I think it largely depends on who you are and what you’re looking for. My single friends looking for ltr seem to be having a rough go. My single friends who just generally enjoy casually dating seem to be having a blast.

Welcome, friends! I created this community to meet others in the city during these strange times.

This will primarily serve as a safe space to meet friends. If your vibe is more on the dating end, that's fine too.

Let's be kind, inclusive, and respectful. I've already met some of you in person, looking forward to meet more folks here!

I gained weight during my last relationship (probably around 30 lbs, and I’m 5’9”). Before my relationship, I felt like I could get any guy. But I’ve been single for 2 years now and it’s been so hard to date. I’m not sure if maybe I’ve lost confidence, but I legitimately don’t know how to get a guy to be interested. Any pointers?

And I clearly told In managerial round that I am open for salary discussion.

But no one responded. Will I get the call back in time? Or I just leave it and go ahead with other companies?
