Has Anyone Found Las Vegas To Be A Lonely City?
Meaning you wake up in the morning, go to class/work, come home, eat dinner, watch tv, go to bed? (you're living alone)
No dates, no friends, no one to call...
Has anyone lived like this in LV or knows someone who is or has against their will even if they wanted to be more active?

There are lots of people throughout the world that do that. Whether they want to make friends or not is entirely up to them.

only issue that i found is that once you get to know someone, they move... it is a very transient city!

yeah...i hear that, but i have been here over a year and don't know anyone who has moved away (aside from students who finished their respective programs....but that's the nature of academia). gimme another year or two here and maybe i'll have a different take on it.
*wait...chest R moved, so i guess i do tangentially know someone who moved away |

Don't you still know them after they move away; and value the ties you've established? Or is it, you seek a long-term meaningful relationship with a long-term resident of LV? There are many, many LV residents who have been here for decades in all walks of life; and have no intention of moving on. For a service-oriented community, LV is the absolute most stable environment for this type community. A service industry worker you know, who moves away for the same; is not one you should concern yourself about. LV is a transient city for those of a weak and lesser work ethic. The serious, and hard working find LV a mecca of the service industry, and will spend the necessary time, and energy to realize the potential ONLY LV can offer them. |

I disagree. I have friends here that I've known for 10+ years. Of all of the friends that I've had out here, only 2 have moved away. Of course I don't talk to all of them anymore, people change and whatnot. I do have 2-3 good friends though that I would consider my best friends and we would do just about anything for each other. Of course life gets in the way and we don't talk or hang out as much as we used to, but the bond is still there. |

Me, I kinda like being lonely. I felt that when I lived in NYC, it was work, home, work home.. your only friends (if you could call them that) were co-workers.
I dont live in vegas.. but as to Nevada as a whole (at least where I live outside of Vegas) people move here to be more left alone. Not all of us like being around people all the time.. lol

How could it be against their will? If you want to meet people, you will.
You mean like someone locked you inside or something? Or maybe you don't have enough cash to mingle? I don't get it.
I know that the reason I have not made friends is that I am basically shy about meeting people. I have met some people, but we don't hang out. I do miss my girl-friendships. |
