Washington, DC

Dating market favors men. Several universities, plus immigrant pussy, plus tourists. You can fuck across the USA, the entire globe, all in your own backyard. 

Outside of women, there are always a bunch of entertainment options, from sports ,to theater, to concerts.

Not that anon but live in DC. The city has more women than men but it's a lot of initially career women. They all come in and don't take relationships seriously until they're in their mid 20s and then they all want a relationship. I'll put it this way, I'm balding and mediocre looking and I've never had more success dating than here.
--- 2397578
>>2397574
interesting. so are all the women basically post-wall liberal career-oriented roasties? that isn't appealing. but i do like the idea of all the foreign women being there. i was once in DC on business and matched with an insanely lot jap woman but when i told her i didn't live there she lost interest

The Balboa Peninsula in Newport Beach California. Zero violent crime. No homeless people. Perfect weather. One of the best beaches in the US. Close to literally everything. Endless outdoor activities. 10/10 women. I lived there for 8 years. I fucking loved it. The only rea downside is that everyone is constantly renovating their houses. The city literally gives away free money for people to maintain there houses. Everyone on my block was offered $40,000 from the city with no strings attached to do any outdoor beautification project anyone wanted to do.

No. Did you catch the first lart of ehat he said? The pre-wall ones don't take relationships seriously, but there are more women than men. What rhat means for you is there are ample numbers of college aged women who are looking to have sex/have a good time that aren't looking for a relationship. Do be aware that the Asian ones often are, unless rebellious. Tbh, what they are looking for doesn't matter. They'll all open their legs in pursuit of it.

>the dating scene is crazy since year everyone is a 10/10 striver, so that means if you are just average you are basically hideous next to rich kids with designer clothes and plastic surgery
This is some real shit. I went to an Ivy League school and the dating scene was insane. Competing with 10/10 millionaire Chads mothered by generations of trophy wives. 

Look at Conor Kennedy. 6'5 with a handsome face and daddy's money in the bank. He fucked Taylor Swift when he was in high school. And there are plenty like him. We're all just slaves funding the dividends that go into their trust funds. I never stood a chance.

The only reason the military is appealing is because of the free handouts for minimal work. Healthcare rest of your life, 20k sign bonus, free education, the nepotism of being military so in more cases than not your little title plus whatever education you gained you'll have a leg up on "civy" candidates. BUT if you're halfway intelligent you have to accept you're willingly labeling yourself an amerigolem zogbot contributing to his governmental and corporate overlords.

They're generous with benefits because they have to be. Otherwise free people in a wealthy society wouldn't put up with it. They get their money's worth out of you. 

I know a girl who signed up for the National Guard. They're paying for her school and she was living large because she still lives with her mom. Then one day, they told her she has to drop everything for a year and patrol the border with Mexico. She signed up for the Guard in a blue state. Who would have thought they'd send her to Texas, of all fucking places? Now she has to waste a year of her life in some desert shithole, hours away from any city. And what happens if the whole Ukraine thing turns into a shooting war involving us? What if the gooks invade Taiwan? 

You can make more money than you would in the armed forces easily if you just make something of yourself. Community college is cheap, you do two years and come out a plumber. Now you make almost six figures, and you don't have to live somewhere expensive either. You can take those classes at night if you have a job. Or you can get a commercial driving license and become a trucker even faster. Don't sign up to become a zogbot.

I'd avoid the immediate area around Denver unless you're a city fag who has to live in the hustle and bustle. There are some nice spots in Arvada or Castle Rock that are like 30 min from downtown Denver and not quite as expensive. Denver is way overpriced because everyone moves there from the Midwest to be close to skiing. A middling starter home that needs work is $500k in most of Denver, $600k in the nice areas.

I moved to Pittsburgh recently.

Pros:
>beautiful skyline and scenery
>cool neighborhoods that have different feels
>lots of green spaces/parks
>sort of underrated although the yuppy culture is starting to creep in
>really fucking safe in most areas. if you arent a total clueless dumbass you arent getting robbed or hurt here
>lots of cool day trips within driving distance
>good city for biking and drivers are not bad compared to other places
>housing is dirt cheap for the value like seriously buy a house here

Cons:
>winter sucks and Pittsburgh is the greyest city in the US, more cloudy days than even Seattle, so winter you will be depressed
>mass transit fucking sucks and theres no usable train system and it can take 20 minutes to drive even 3 miles because of the windy roads/topography. not to mention potholes everywhere
>townies have a provincial mindset and have never left pennsylvania. worship shit tier things like primanti bros which is inedible
>economy is based on health/tech monopolies
>pennsylvania governement is one of the worst in the nation for getting anything done. see: minimum wage still $7.25/hr
>people here are not attractive on average and anyone worth seriously dating is with their high-school sweetheart
>its a city but not a big city. meaning there are at least 1-2 excellent restaurants in each category but if you like to constantly try new things this is not NYC or chicago, so hope you somewhat like routine

Could go either way depending:
>within the city limits is pretty woke liberal, immediately outside is Trump country
>it is so white here. even the black people are white and there's no good soul food or BBQ to speak of. 
>about 10 Hispanics total but a good amount of Asians. if you like good latin food or culture youre fucked

Overall if you're looking to settle somewhere long term for a quiet city life with a significant other this is probably the best place in the US right now. If you are young and single maybe maybe not
--- 2399049

forgot to mention the downtown core of Pittsburgh is absolutely a crackhead no-go zone but almost every other neighborhood is extremely safe and livable. I don't think most people would care but if having a dream downtown is important to you dont come here

DC here too.

Upsides:
>epidemic of lonely successful women
this city is the epitome of successful women who chose career and are now lonely and desperate for dick

>walkable city with a small town feel
the metro is a lot cleaner than NYC and other subways, and there are plenty of busses and sidewalks everywhere, green spaces and pedestrian areas. some are filled with homeless tents but not too bad. the height limit means no skyscrapers besides virginia, so it feels like an upscale small town though NE/SE DC are the ghetto but you'd hardly ever need to go there

>cream of the crop type of people
besides the inner city people who have been here for generations, you'll see the men and women from other parts of the country/world all have great spook (((consultant))) jobs and all seem to be /fit/ (because it's so walkable, everyone goes out jogging/cycling). if you are a high value man you'll have a good chance finding someone high value. truly.

>always something going on
this place has been pretty crazy for the past couple of years with 1/6, BLM, and numerous political events. it's always pretty entertaining. you have all types of political groups coming here. otherwise, there are a lot of museums, music events, holiday markets etc.

>beautiful
the city was originally designed after Paris and there are a lot of white marble neoclassical buildings. especially the washington monument and capitol building which is always a pleasure to have in the background. the city is especially beautiful in the spring when the cherry blossoms bloom. it complements the buildings nicely and the sidewalks get covered in pink & white pedals. good for date nights. one of the prettiest towns in the country.

>opportunities
i moved here for university and there are a lot of opportunities, especially if you want to be a contractor and work for/with the gov. i have a remote contract job in my field and the pay is great

Downsides (to be continued)
--- 2399451
>>2399450
>high crime
but safe in the sense that it is a highly monitored fed district. there are ghetto areas right next to rich areas which is bizarre and there are crackheads and gangbangers lurking about. just don't talk or make eye contact. if you have a car, your tires will probably get stolen and parking is ridiculous.

>boring/sterile
it's definitely a lot slower than other cities & doesn't really have a culture besides overt neoliberalism unless you're black, in that case you'll have a great time

>weather
swamp ass weather from may to october. otherwise it's pretty nice & mild. all 4 seasons.

>cost of living
it can be a little expensive but it's definitely not as expensive as nyc/sf/la. you'll probably get paid more anyway for the cost of living.
--- 2399503
>>2399450
Grew up in nova and lived in Capitol Hill for 3 years at one of those consulting jobs. I might have a tainted view, but DC is not great after the novelty wears off. Because the job market is centered around the gov, you get a very uniform population and a lot of boring types who’s idea of living is brunch every weekend. You will have to deal with dating extreme liberal types but if you’re chad enough it’s not hard to convert them slowly since women don’t really have strong values. Cap hill, Georgetown and the mall are gorgeous. Weather is shit. Nigger fatigue will set in fast. Traffic is shit.

After my stint in DC, I’ve lived alot of other places. I’m in San Diego right now and it’s probably the best spot for alot of reasons, but you need to have money.

I have a lifelong friend who ended up in one of these consulting gigs after college in DC. Used to visit him every once in awhile. This guy's spitting facts. 

The thing others have said about it it being full of mid-20's career women desperate for dick is also true. Anecdotally, I made out with a girl at a party my freshman year of college, but she wouldn't give me a chance. Now she's parading a guy who's uglier than me around on Instagram. They don't want to date "beneath" them, they want a professional guy. But the pool of acceptable men willing to text them back the morning after is slim pickings.

It's worth noting that consulting is a very large field. There is a big gulf between someone working for MBB and someone who's a contractor for Booz.
--- 2399613
>>2399595
That's true. My friend was a footsoldier at some no-name political consulting shop, but he graduated from Brown, so he was still well-connected. And I knew some people from my own alma mater, though the really successful consulting guys ended up in New York, though now they're all over the place since the pandemic, working remotely. 

I wouldn't mind being a partner at a place like Oliver Wyman though. All of these places make a killing off the back of the federal government, since the country's bureaucracy is full incompetent, lazy vermin given political jobs, who cannot be fired. In a way, they serve as a means for the transfer of wealth to the well-connected upper class, justifying the expensive price tags of schools like Andover and Dartmouth, who gatekeep these institutions. 

DC is where the all the nerds who grew up watching the West Wing and Gilmore Girls end up. They dream of power and fame, not necessarily wealth. Think of all the faggots that joined the College Democrats. That's them. New York people are way cooler.

Fuckton of homeless, rampant drug addiction (was always a problem in the region), California-levels of traffic, and high COL. 

Western Washington used to be a nice and relatively quite place. Now it's a shit hole thanks to all the California refugees and the tech transplants. Eastern Washington is still nice for now, but how long is that going to last? Despite making a decent salary and having $100k in savings and securities I can't even afford to buy a decent house in this area.

This. Having lived in Cali, Colorado, and Washington, I'll say the best places to live are Bellevue WA, Santa Monica, and Newport Beach. Colorado is a bag of shit, I lived in Highlands Ranch for a decade, wanted to kill myself. Bunch of assholes with nothing going for them. 
>"Dude we got SKIING! We have such a cool city with BARCADES!"
Fuck that, Denver is 1,000 miles away from anything good. The Rockies are dope no doubt, but the Cascades suffice well enough. Seattle has so much more to offer, and the summers here are elite. No other place beats Chelan in the summer.

literally any rich place is good, all depends on what you like.

for rich people life is fun anywhere 

you like city life? NYC is obviously the place to be
you like glitz and glamour? LA is the place to be, anywhere along the water is beautiful and has plenty of amenities for the rich.
you are an intellectual or work in tech? SF is the place to be easily. So many beautiful places in SF it's hard to name one. 

what if you want to get away from the cities?
Hawaii is beautiful, live on Maui for a bit! 

The opportunities are endless for the wealthy, really the only winning move is to... try it all.

Live in LA, SF, NYC, Florida, Hawaii, Texas, and wherever else you fancy for a bit. Try places out and see what they are like.

Those are some pretty words, but you can't delude yourself either. This kid pulled a fire alarm his freshman year just to show that he could. The Harvard rugby team is banned from Portugal because he and his bros decided to trash the entire floor of a hotel one night. If I did half the shit he did, I'd have been expelled. I'd probably be in jail. 

Do you know that the US has more income inequality now than France did right before their revolution? They're the lords, we're the peasants. Our society does a good job of hiding that distinction because we're not as simple as our ancestors, but women know the score. Why do you think foreign men get treated like kings when they touch down in some shithole like the Philippines? 

When you're in a community with these guys and competing with them for poon, it ruins everything. Every mid girl that gives you a chance will act like she's God's gift to you. She's made it to the school of her dreams and now she's waiting for her prince charming. But she got pumped and dumped. She's waiting for one of these guys to come to their senses and realize how special she is, and if she settles for you, it'll be out of desperation. There's a resentment and entitlement that you wouldn't have to deal with if you just married your high school sweetheart before you left your shithole hometown.

How well off? If you’re truly rich, you can have a good life wherever you choose. New York City is great if you’re loaded. But perhaps you don’t like cities and would prefer an enormous vanity ranch in Montana or Wyoming. It’s nice to be rich in several parts of California, too; I say that from a bit of personal experience, although I wasn’t anywhere near as rich as they get there.

Personally, if I had bottomless money I don’t know if I would live in the USA at all; I would really enjoy being a USD multimillionaire in Spain or Portugal.

Yeah it's pretty frustrating to deal with these baby-elite types. I think the most frustrating thing about it is that you can go make money for yourself, but you'll never have the connections and special treatment that they get even if their wealth is only middle-class tier. And if you make a single mistake, your entire position in life blows up.

You don't need to have majored in poli sci for those jobs. All sorts of people wind up in them. 

The first thing they tell you at campus recruitment events for consulting gigs is to apply no matter what your major is. They'll teach you whatever it is you need to know in order to succeed. The college degree is just there to make sure you can zip up your khakis without getting your dick caught in the fly.

The Watergate break-in was staged by the CIA as a way to get rid of Nixon, it was meant to fail. This is because Nixon wouldn't let the Bush family and powerful oil interests and war hawks in the national defense establishment have their way with the country. 

It's all covered by Family of Secrets, written by Russ Baker. It's not schizo boomer qtard bullshit either. It's well-sourced, and published by Bloomsbury Press. 

Nixon was the last decent president we've ever had. An American hero, really.

DC is really bad. The only nice neighborhood is Georgetown and Georgetown is VERY expensive. I lived outside of DC for most of my life and spent countless hours in the city. I have seen more insane crime in DC than in every other place in the US combined. One time we made a wrong turn into a dead end and came face to face with a tranny holding an AK47. Ive seen stabbings, shootings, assaults, riots, robberies, police violence, car jackings, you fucking name it. DC is a terrible place to live.

But he is correct. 
It's actually very easy to get a consulting job with a finance degree, especially with data analytics. Though someone inexplicably kind of poo pooed Booz Allen Hamilton earlier, they are one of the biggest dogs, if not biggest, in the DC area due to them being homegrown and so tied in with the government. Edward Snowden worked for Booz. They don't ever have enough people for all the government contracts they have, to the point that themselves often use other firms as subcontractors on their contracts. They will pay to help you move the area. Check out openings on their website. Apply for all the names, though. Leidos, Deloitte. Hell, try Amazon. Their HQ2 is opening up here and they already have a large corporate presence in the area. Especially with AWS.

>>2404744
As a local, it's easy to crap on the area. As a local, it's also easy to delineate. You are thinking DC proper, when anyone coming from outside the area will be approaching it as the DC area. Lets not pretend like you only have to cross a street or bridge to be in Arlington or MoCo. 

To the OP, one area ripe for gentrification is The Navy Yard and a lot of young single people live and hang out there.

>The Navy Yard

You can see an episode of the Navy Yard on this show about local DC area neighborhoods. The most recent episode is on Deanwood. Ignore that one, unless you want to get in on the ground floor of gentrification of NE DC.

The show is on its 3rd season so you can get a good idea of various neighborhoods in the area, albeit the focus is more on homebuying in established neighborhoods.

> I think the most frustrating thing about it is that you can go make money for yourself, but you'll never have the connections and special treatment that they get even if their wealth is only middle-class tier. And if you make a single mistake, your entire position in life blows up. Napoleon and Richard Nixon described similar things in their careers and it made me sympathize with them a lot while reading their biographies.

Because Napoleon and Nixon were both outsiders to the elite circles. As an outsider if you want to be let into the club, you need to ingratiate yourself and do what your betters tell you to do. Unfortunately, for these two men they walked to the beat of their own drums and they remained outsiders for their whole lives; never being afforded the protection from scrutiny that is privilege to the elite. 

Three establishment men do as they please, one outsider does the same, only the outsider is penalized.

True. Though, Napoleon's family did ultimately become elite. It seems like it's easier to pull off if you're the child of a guy who forged his own path. Fun fact: Teddy Roosevelt's Attorney General was a direct descendent of Jerome Bonaparte.

>>2405764
Nixon grew up in a fairly poor Quaker household. He couldn't afford to go to an elite university, despite being accepted, so he went to a cheaper college. Then through pure talent and merit he rose through the ranks of politics and became president. He was fairly interesting politically because he was very pragmatic and open to doing things regardless of whether they'd be considered left-wing or right-wing. Bush is just an elite family with oil money that only had to recite a couple party talking-points and let money and connections get them high ranking positions.

I agree with you overall, except in DC. Due it's focus on American government and military contracting, within those sectors it's viewed as prestige. Government and military types look upon Booz most favorably, especially the latter, and government and military is the biggest sector in DC obviously.

I lived in Orlando for about 2 years, and would NOT recommend it whatsoever. It's not a fun place to live. It's shit.

The nice parts of Orlando are incredibly insular, and they are surrounded by abject poverty and dilapidated shitholes. Driving for many hours a week is going to be the new normal for you. That alone sinks this place substantially.

The nice parts are the Doctor Philips / Windermere area, Downtown, Winter Park, and Lake Nona, and they are all on opposite sides of the city. Lake Nona is incredibly residential, Winter Park is a pretty nice college town, Downtown is pretty fun, and Doctor Philips is filled with incredibly rich people who work in media or healthcare or finance - it's fine, check out Rocco's Tacos. Outside of downtown the amenities a young professional would look for to have fun are lacking. And there aren't even that many young people in downtown.

Where the city really shines is that it has a huge latin american population and they really know how to party desu. I enjoyed going to salsa / bachata events and learning to dance, then going to some dance clubs in downtown afterwards, that's really fun. Always plenty of cute girls at these events looking to meet guys. The Brazilian population is huge in Orlando and you will meet a lot of them everywhere.

Not once in my entire time living in Orlando did I go to Disneyworld or Universal Studios, I guess if you are into that it might be fun, and there are some bars that cater towards employees at both parks which might have cute girls that I never checked out.

It's not really a city designed to cater to people like OP, desu. There's old rich people in the Isleworth / Doctor Philips area, then there's mostly boomers in the downtown area, and you will find very little reason to go anywhere else. 

Really. Miami is THE best place to go for a young person who can live anywhere, and wants to live in Florida. Tampa is also great.

>What are the best places for a young guy with no qualifications or money to reboot his life

I am thinking about this and I honestly am not sure what to tell you 
Big cities have great opportunities, but the cost of living isn't feasible, you will be stuck working a shit job and struggling to pay the rent and survive
small cities and towns have lower rent but you will be working even worse jobs, if you go there you can truly be trapped in a poverty spiral

Can I ask where you are located now? 

California has free college for students over 24 if your income is low (like under 30k) 
So you could move to California, work in some job until you quality for in-state tuition, then do REALLY well in community college (not hard at all btw) so you can go to a UC school. San Diego has really nice community colleges, so I would recommend you move somewhere in North County San Diego. 

When I was a student at UC berkeley, I was paid about $6000 a semester to attend school - tuition fully paid. I lived VERY comfortably, totally from government funding. 
This is a great deal and could save you from poverty, flinging you into upper middle class lifestyle quite quickly. 

if you have questions about this lemme know
--- 2408664
>>2408658
>North County San Diego.
I live here, a friend of mine did this. Had a shitty 20s of dead end jobs, legal trouble, etc. Got state aid to go to school and become a teacher. Not an "upper middle class" profession but a respectable one that pays the bills. 

Another friend moved to Arizona, a place a lot of washed up west coasters seem to go to turn their life around, worked jobs there for a while, then got state aid to go to truck driving school. He now owns a trucking business.

Does your friend do alright in trucking ? Does he drive his own truck or hire a driver? Seems like a great business to get into
--- 2408855
>>2408744
>Does your friend do alright in trucking ? Does he drive his own truck or hire a driver? Seems like a great business to get into
The thing is, it's very cyclical and a difficult job to work in the best of times. 

Cyclical because when the economy's not doing great, truck drivers are the first to get laid off. 

Even if you do have work, it's very long hours (12 hour shifts aren't uncommon). You're living a gypsy life, away from home for long stretches. Hard to settle down, make friends, and find a woman that way. 

But it does pay well.

He was actually doing that, had a change of heart and said, you know what, I'm going to be a math teacher. He said he didn't have the appetite for hustle culture, American companies, hiring sprees followed by layoffs, and the idea of a salary for life + retirement + PTO sold him even if the pay is worse. Plus I think he got additional financial aid for being a teacher. Teachers with 10+ years of seniority in CA also make close to 100k. 
Anon could probably get into something IT related though, a lot of channers have above average IT skills right off the bat.

He does equipment hauling so almost all jobs within a day drive but says the hours are awful, getting up at 2 AM after a weekend to do a load out because they want their shit first thing in the morning.

It's for people who are "mathematically mature." That generally means Asians who leave high school with Calc II under their belts, and take higher-level math classes in university.

When you look at it this way, only 1% of American college students fit this criteria. It's not for retards who take "Business Calculus" and get a B+, and certainly not for whose who get scammed by not one, but TWO different bootcamps.

There are probably only a few hundred quant jobs in the entire US. So the vast majority of people who are qualified aren't gonna make it. Like they said in Mad Men, "Not every little girl gets to do what they want. The world could not support that many ballerinas."

But it's great work if you can get it. Pay packages can easily reach north of $500k. If you change jobs, companies will make you go on "garden leave" for like 6 months, so that you can't reveal their trading strategies to competitors. That means they pay you your full salary while you do fuck all in your apartment in Manhattan or Chicago. You get to live as a chad neet.

NTA who asked the question, but I've been seriously thinking about getting off my ass and sticking to a job.

I'm 25, live around the center of Texas and worked several wage jobs. As well a couple of warehouses, one before I went to comm college and the other about a year ago. I was dumb and tried living away from home for their good art program. Now double that because I was irresponsible and blew my good fafsa standings after two semesters of goofing off and not wanting to study (this was back when COVID was in full force). Came back home and as of right now I work part time and have a few thousand in the bank. Mentally I'm feeling much better after fighting some anxiety, insecurities, porn addiction n stuff.

Recently I turned to some cbd to ease my body and stress, and had a coombrain moment that led me to wanting to work to travel to Japan to get a wife. Someone told me that's retarded and instead go to Houston which has a good asian population. I'm going to my town's technical college soon and see if i should try again or just go work the warehouse route again.

There are places you should be able to afford around the Navy Yard.

There’s nowhere good, dude. I only make $50k but I’m a 100% remote worker with a flexible schedule and I’ve done my research for over a year now. There’s nowhere in particular that’s really worth moving to in this country. Any one place will be prohibitively expensive, filled with crime and drugs, and/or boring and lonely. If you can find a place that’s only 1 of those things, I suppose that would be lucky because it’s all been so horribly mismanaged that nowhere is really good anymore.

You can even smoke IN the weed clubs. I used to love sitting down at one, buying a beer, rolling a blunt, and doing my work.

I lived in the suburbs of DC for 15 years. I won't even tell stories about the shit Ive seen black people do in DC to anyone in person unless I have a friend there to back it up because they are so fucking insane. No one believes it unless they're from the DC area. 

We made a wrong turn and came face to face with a tranny holding a machine gun. I watched a group of blacks beat an old man with his own cane until he couldn't move. A homeless person jumped off a bridge in front of me into the road. My brother's best friend was shot when he was 17 while buying weed. I saw a homeless person with a butcher knife walk down the street and slash the tires of dozens of cars for no reason. I saw a shootout on the DC metro train. I honestly didn;t even go to the city that often. It's a fucking madhouse.

Whats an average body count for a 25-30 year old American guy? Just curious because the US has a reputation of having super slutty and partying colleges. 

I feel like if I moved to the US i would just fuck endless college girls. Like fish in a barrel.

But i dunno if the stereotypes are real or not. 

I live in Canada and we have party schools but nothing wild. My body count is 15 and I'm 24 but it seems higher than most Canadians. Just wondering what things are like in the States.

If you're riding the red line from Rockville to Wheaton, you could avoid some of the crime if you never wandered. Try coming in on the Orange Line from New Carrolton. Maybe jump onto the green line and take it to the Navy Yard or Suitland. Tell me how you feel then about the blacks.

>I feel like if I moved to the US i would just fuck endless college girls. Like fish in a barrel.
My body count is similar to yours and let me tell you, it's nothing special. 

I knew bona fide Chads in college who needed to keep track of all their women in a spreadsheet. Literally fucking a different girl every night. They threw so many condoms out their window (they were suitemates) that the groundskeepers sent out an email to the entire dorm to complain. 

Granted, these are outliers. 15 at 24 is definitely above average... but not by much.
