I agree DC nightlife is usually a sausage fest. You just have to do things that make yourself stand out; lift weights and get to the clubs early to not miss the women. Everyone in DC is educated, but not everyone is fit, so that's the key. Being educated in LA doesn't matter because everyone is an airhead they can't tell the difference between an educated person and a non-educated person.
Agreed. I'd advise going out in DC with a mathematical genius who will likely end up winning a Nobel Prize one day. He can devise a strategy to overcome unfavorable gender ratios. Really, all you have to do is ignore the 3 women in the club.
Commuters from the surrounding Maryland and Virginia suburbs raise the city's population to more than one million during the workweek. The Washington metropolitan area, of which the District is a part, has a population of 5.8 million, the seventh-largest metropolitan statistical area in the country.
The Los Angeles metropolitan area comprises Los Angeles County (2010 population: 9,862,049) and Orange County (2010 population: 3,010,759). It is officially designated by the US Census Bureau as the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana, CA Metropolitan Statistical Area.
My opinion: The DMV is better than the LA metro area because (1) It's more developed; the city is planned, is does not look desolate, mostly everything is renovated, and more of the electric wires are underground. (2) More international; I prefer the people who migrate to DC from other countries than that of LA, ie. DC-->Ethiopia, South America, El Salvador, Korean . VS. LA-->Russia, Mexico, China, Philippines. (3) The energy; People stay out later, people party more aggressively and the club scene is more accessible to the everyday person. (4) Income equality. (5) More institutionally equal; less corporate hiring discrimination on darker skinned people in DC versus LA. Blacks or dark Hispanics will reach a glass ceiling a lot quicker in LA than they would in DC.
What you all think? DMV is better too huh?

You do realize that LA has the most Korean people outside the Korean Peninsula and the most El Salvadorians in the USA. Also, LA has one of the biggest Ethopian communities in the USA.
DC is more up-to-date in trends...people still wear baggy clothes in Los Angeles, and if they aren't wearing baggy clothes then they are on the neon phase. in DC we already went through the chucks/neon phase/Hollister phase. We already went through wearing sneakers with business casual clothes phase. We've moved on to the earth-tone sophisticated clothing ware phase. I've noticed that the closer you get to Europe the more up to date the clothing trend gets. Los Angeles gets music 6 months late on the radio, Kanye West - All Day is OLD by now. I knew all of the slang that Angelinos thinks no one knows besides Angelinos because we've already used up those phrases. I came here and people were acting like instagram was new, and no one has a twitter. No one knew what Vine was, and they were JUST starting to become aware of Snapchat, Tinder, and YikYak. They sstill have the 80's 90's look in most shopping centers with the plastic signs and what not. DC, Nova, and Maryland have already renovated all of its shopping center aesthetics to 2010 and beyond. There nothing wrong with California, but it IS, without a doubt, WAY more dated than the east coast, HANDS down.
True. DC did put Chucks on the map. Paul Walker took a trip to DC in late 2000, I believe. The next thing you know, he was sporting a pair of Chuck Taylors in the Fast and Furious.
Yet another thing DC has given to the world.
