If enjoying the outdoors is a priority, can’t beat the PNW. Seattle has great opportunities if you’re into tech. Not the best social scene compared to your list, but I’ve only been here a few years and have made a ton of friends and met my long term partner here.

DC is great for younger single people. I can’t imagine ever leaving here although I’m a little younger, 24F

NYC. Neither LA not SF are great for single men for making friends and dating both. Less of an outdoor scene and worse weather but you can make it work.

Agree

DC checks all those boxes

Lived in DC 20 years. Food has gotten to be great. Not far to great outdoors. Free and paid museums are excellent, music is decent. Lots of people turnover makes it easy to find and meet people that are looking for friends.

Charlotte.

Anywhere on the east coast is going to suck going into the next few months. LA is great, SF is $$$$, NYC is NYC so ymmv.

If you can handle windchill, DC is actually your best bet if you're trying to stay East Coast.

DC or Philly if food is also important.

LA, Denver, Portland, Seattle, SLC

Lots of young people and tons of outdoor activities. Weather in Portland, Seattle is worse than others obv.

What’s wrong with Chicago from the POV of meeting people

Not that diverse/well integrated, people are more on the conservative side, and already been here for 6 years now

like

If outdoors and weather are higher priorities, Seattle. If diversity, things to do, career opportunities, and meeting people are higher priorities, New York.

New York typically has about eight weeks a year of what I would call objectively nice weather (summers are hot with a brutal urban heat island effect, and winters are cold and stormy). It’s also unlike anywhere else in the US and has more to offer in absolute terms than any other American city.

30 m ny/nj. US citizen. Moved as a teenager. INTJ. Single since I figured I’m not fighting the biological clock and have all the time in the world to meet someone and get settled. Things changed after I watched Akshay’s mom (Indian Matchmaking) tell him even 25 is too late and not marrying somehow messes up lives of people around him. While the show was staged, there might be truth to the latter part.

I’m dating someone new and it is going very well. He is kind, not high strung, with great values and shares my sense of humor. It is so easy and natural to spend multiple days with him.
Still I am having doubts because I think he isn’t very “intellectual”. To be clear, he’s intelligent! He is a great STEM role that requires an advanced degree. We share a love of reading as well. However he is not really interested in world affairs, does not follow the news closely, does not have a strong grasp
