can you ever return to the person you were before you moved here?
Cixcell, I have to applaud you again for being one of the true 'voices of reason" on this forum, sames goes for Chelito. I left MeAme over 4 months ago and have never been happier. Yes, it took me a while to decompress and adjust, but not even Philadelphia, for all its bad press seems anywhere near as bad as the obnoxious a**holes that I'd encounter in Miami every single damn day.
Driving in Miami alone has probably shaved several years off my overall lifespan, thank you 305! Thankfully though, I won't be cremated in Miami when I die, even if it's 10 years earlier than I would have died had I never have lived in your awful city.
About the only good thing Miami did to me was to toughen me up and make me generally more badass and less prone to being ripped off or scammed.
As long as I am living and breathing, I will continue to tell the truth about Miami; it's perils and pitfalls. Of course, nothing I will say will prevent countless people from being suckered in and taken for mugs by the palm trees, sunshine and the allure of the Latin culture there, which at first glance (and I say "first glance" very meaningfully) seems more interesting and exciting than mainstream US culture, until you you realize that the Cubans in Miami are basically just Spanish speaking rednecks, just as racist, just as ignorant and just as insular as Billy Bob from Tennessee or Peggy Sue from Texas.
I will say this, as foul and evil an experience as it was, living in Miami made me appreciate normalcy, peace and orthodoxy a whole lot more. I now live in a not so great part of Philly, yet I can get a good night's sleep for less rent than I was paying in Miami. I can go to the local, privately owned grocery store just down the block from here and buy Florida oranges in better condition and for less than I paid for them in Publix! I can also sit and enjoy a bit of bathroom time without hearing "ey bro" Miami degenerates talk about taking a ****, f***king some ho and I can be around fellow guys in their early 30's who don't think that the only form of entertainment is hittin' da club or driving on 826 at 110 mph, drunk.
Miami, I do not miss one single aspect of you at all, sorry. I don't miss your overly macho, disgusting pigs of men that made me so ashamed to be male for a while that I contemplated cutting off my balls and I don't miss the overly prissy, intellectually vapid women who, if I were stuck on a desert island with and were told that the only way the human race would survive is if I impregnated them, I would have also cut off my c*ck n' balls.
Some of you bash cixcell, but the guy speaks the truth. This is a forum in which people come for honest opinions. Anyone considering moving to Miami should read and re-read both cixcell and Chelito's posts.

This is perhaps one of the best posts I have seen here in a long time .. I log into the Miami forum less and less as its negativity wears on you ... even the Broward forum is much better on the mental health .
I concur, most of the post are of lunacy, people not doing there homework, instead making the capricious endeavors without a clue when they make their move to Miami or not making adjustments to the environment around them.
You are who you are and people will treat you the same way you treat them.

LMAO, sure. Keep believing that, considering where you live. You people crack me up! In denial or just plain naive, which is it sir, because people come to forums like this for real advice.

Sorry perry but no, not in Miami. I was very nice to people when I first moved there, had a smile for them, tried my best, was considerate and courteous and I did NOT get the same in return 99% of the time.

Damn .
That is some extreme stuff Glasvegas, but very true. The only thing i'll miss when i'm gone is the Latin food.
16 years i've been living here and i've never stepped inside a club (I'm 23 years old by the way) and i'll never will. It's just not my style. I'm more of a family-oriented type of guy, if i want to party i'll call some friends and family members.
I'm a laid back type of guy, not into the crazy lifestyle the people in my age live.
After living here for 24 years, there's no freakin' way I could ever live in south Florida, let alone Miami.
I'm from outside of Lawrence, KS and went to college in Columbia, MO. There's no freaking way I could ever live in a small town ever again.
You need to understand that everybody isn't looking for that. I've always known I needed the hustle and bustle of a large city. I just can't fathom living in a small college town anywhere, especially Tallahassee. I rushed out to St. Louis after college and enjoyed the hell out of it, but even St. Louis couldn't cut it for me. I'm a much happier person in a large city like Miami than some small town.
