Vancouver has some incredible mountains, forests and coastlines/beaches within a few miles of the city. Plus Vancouver is an incredibly cosmopolitan, dense, vibrant city with numerous cultural attractions and many diverse bars/restaurants from which to choose.
Dallas falls flat in almost every category in a face to face comparison. The big exception being jobs, where Dallas' economy is most likely highly more robust than Vancouver's.
Dallas is a giant city with many things to do, but each time I've visited, it seems like it is "huge" and "sprawling" and "full of traffic" with some dynamic bars/restaurants but the Dallas culture seems like it's still searching for itself, and doesn't seem very cosmopolitan yet.

Youll also find many diverse bars and restaurants in Dallas too. The question of diversity depends on who you ask. If you ask a white or Asian person, they will probably say Vancouver is more diverse. If you ask a black or Hispanic person, they will probably say Dallas is more diverse.

I agree with everything other than Vancouver's bars/restaurants being diverse.

No offense but african american and hispanic/mexican doesn’t equal incredible diversity,
I live in the most diverse city in Canada, Toronto.
I’ve been to Big D a number of times and it didn’t strike me as being that diverse, not like Toronto,
or even Vancouver for that matter.

You do realize that "Hispanic" covers a substantial number of countries, right? That includes Mexico, which itself encompasses a wide variety of regional customs and cultures...
Dallas not only has African-American culture, but also many immigrants from African nations (i.e. Kenya, Ethiopia, Nigeria, etc).

I prefer eating in Dallas over Vancouver, but I am a fan of Mexican, Soul Food/ Southern food...fried chicken and a wide variety of fast food chains. Not joking, so I actually favor Dallas for eating out than Vancouver.
Also don't underestimate "Friendliness"
I find Texans in general warm and outgoing, charming even... I can't say the same about those encountered in Vancouver, reserved and aloof.
So for me, Food and "Social Options", I would actually say Dallas.

I’ll give you that, no arguements here.
Vancouverites are not exactly known for being friendly....think of the Seattle “freeze”
x2
Texans are much more friendly ....maybe brag a bit too much ...but very friendly.
I personally would choose Vancouver over Dallas though, I just love where it is located,
Dallas....not so much.
Someone mentioned long flights from Vancouver compared to Dallas....
like Dallas to Los Angeles....I don’t think Vancouver to LA is much longer, if at all.
Vancouver is a closer gateway to Asia.
