- Too many older men still in school.
- Women who are successful threaten the men.
- Everybody is really judgemental and somewhat pretentious.
- Work always comes before the relationship and hard to manage a relationship with two ambitious people.
- Everybody is in law, politics, or consulting. Not much variation otherwise.

I find your last point interesting. I’d say that’s a lot of people but I’ve also met plenty of health care workers, ngo, and government employees. I find a lot of variation in the jobs you listed. I don’t think I’ve ever met two consultants or lawyers who do the same thing. Their jobs and personalities are vastly different depending on practice area/speciality and type of place they work. Hill staffers do seem to do similar work but still have their own policy areas of interest. Curious why you think it’s an issue?

A lot of people are only here temporarily

I seem to find all the people who fit into this category

Not an issue for me but lot of causal hook up.

Everyone feels like they have unlimited options, so ghosting happens a lot.

If you're a none Democrat, RIP. Being a minority and a none Democrat, RIP x2.

Agreed A1, loads of international/inter racial couples here.

I lived in tampa in my early 20s and am now in my late 30s and looking to move back. One of the reason I left is because I felt I had too much energy for the city for a single young professional, but now husband is from there and we have a kid but we are both social people. Do you guys find it easy to meet interesting people and has the city gotten any more fun?

Recommendations for firms to look into in South FL? I'm in Ft. Lauderdale but am open to Boca or Miami. I'm a first year associate in ID (coverage issues) but really would prefer transactional work. More importantly though, I'm looking for companies who pay relatively well (doesn't necessarily have to be market), are open to remote/hybrid work, aren't sweatshops. I'd settle for insurance work if theres good WLB & $$$ lol
