Thinking about relocating out of Dallas: Austin, Atlanta, or Charlotte? 27 yo single male looking to eventually settle and put some roots down somewhere. I heard Atlanta is terrible for dating, but not as many things to do in Charlotte vs ATL and ATX (but overcrowding in both of those latter cities)

Atlanta has just as many dudes looking to date you as women, if not more. We’re also full so don’t come here.

Yea the bars are where they hide

Sorry - no capacity we full

ATL is the most diverse city in terms of people and things to do than any of the other cities in your consideration set. Idk what you mean about how it’s terrible for dating. Played the game as a single person and eventually found my wife here after living in a few of the other cities you are considering.

Any tips on showing that you have a good head on your shoulders? I do but want to make sure I’m not hiding it. Have a good job, looks, and great physique. Personality is good but I don’t show it always and it takes a while to know me. The crowd I’m w influences how I act sometimes (more extroverted w adrenaline versus more of a listener and serious convo person). I just want some good dates and to get a gf eventually in atl, been single for a year

I’m single female (aged 26) and am having a tough time putting down roots here in Atlanta. When I got offered my big four position I said I would be willing to stay in Atlanta, but I’m in the same boat. The dating scene in Atlanta is very like luck of the draw. Maybe I’m just ugly though

What’s park tavern? I’m sick of the college bars (just graduated) and the clubs too get old. I go to the clubs to get my confidence up, get with a chick, but it’s too meaningless and people don’t want to get to know me. I think I need to go places in the day time or evening as you said above

ATL as a single male is definitely a hit or miss. Austin may be a bit better. Charlotte will be a bit more tame. It is difficult for dating unless you’re part of the college groups down here (UGA, Bama, Clemson, UF, etc.) but you’ll have to put in more energy and effort to put yourself out there and get into social groups that you’re interested in.

Being a person that settled down in ATL from the NE back in 98, I’m counting the days until we can get tf out of here. Live in the burbs, loathe going to city now. Too much traffic, congestion, mean ppl, etc. Next stop FL panhandle.

I thought people would be nice here cause of southern hospitality. Yeah the slightly slower pace of life compared to other big cities means that people that are nice come off even nicer because they have more time to engage in small talk etc. but there are also some shitfaces (especially on the road) and lots of just average people here not trying to have a convo even. Making friends here is not easier than LA or NYC or Madrid (places I’ve lived). Southern hospitality makes atl people seem nicer than they are. LA ATL NYC and Madrid are all similar in that lots of fake people there. Since they are big cities, everyone wants to know people and expand their network and have people to hang out w. Lots just use you for “time pass” and to have someone to go out with. A lot of “takers” socially and not that many givers so hold on to the givers. Short term friendships are a big thing, necessary to build a social life, and nothing wrong with them but if that’s all you have…
