The metropolitan area of Paris calculated by the French statistical office (by commuting pattern) has over 12.3 million inhabitants.

I'm not talking about outskirts.
You are taking about the outskirts because there are no way you can find over 4 million inhabitants in Rome without the outskirts.
The City of Rome covers 1,285 km² with 2.9 million inhabitants and those 1,285 km² already covers outskirts and unbuilt lands.
If you take 1,285 km² around the City of Paris, there are about 8.5 million inhabitants, maybe more.
The City of Paris unlike many other cities has very small city limits, only 105 km² but this is only the center of a much larger metropolis.
Comparing city proper is often like comparing apples and oranges.
You always read on the web that Berlin is much bigger than Paris with over 3 million inhabitants and over 8 times the land size.
This is true if you restrict to the city limits but city limits are just an administrative area, not representative of the real size of the city but if you look more closely, another reality appears.
If you take the City of Paris and the suburban communities on 891 km² (the size of Berlin), there is over 7.5 million inhabitants.
Everyone suggesting Rome over Paris in terms of job, quality of life (well apart from food, Italy>world) and economics has clearly never lived a single day either in Rome or in Italy.

I just really can't envision living in Paris. There's just too many people and everytime I go there I feel like i'm in a ratrace. Most of the time spent is in the metro. Also it's damn expensive and the weather is alledgely worse (though far from horrible)
But yeah, if you make 4k euros a month, Paris is great.
I think living in northern Italy is a good compromise.
I like Rome though, being from Lyon, a city full of roman heritage, and having relatives / ancestry in Southern France, Rome seems somewhat familiar in many aspects, more than Bologna.
But I would hate having to commute by bike in Rome. I wouldn't survive for very long.
Hey I'm from India (average looking). I'm looking to relocate any of them place (or you can suggests better options). I'm looking for better quality of life, good average salary, easy to relocate (nationality), and especially girls, girls and girls (which is easy to picked up by an Indian).
Help...Please..............
We've already responded to this many times.
Nobody knows if you're gonna get laid nightly. We'd need a picture of you to judge. Just get hammered and see where that gets you.
I heard Berlin is pretty slutty. Not much going on at night in Paris. No idea about Rome. Guess you could find some easy chicks anywhere ? Plenty of hookers in Germany, though. Germany is Europe's brothel. And it's all legal. So if that gets you excited, I would strongly recommend Germany for all your sexual needs.
