^ OMG, that first San Diego trolley video, that is crazy how long it took for that thing to finally depart. Heavy rail is so much quicker.

Who cares about the trolley. I just care about the men. The dudes in San Diego (MAN Diego) are WAYYYY hotter. Military surfer types. Delish!

Yeah I imagine because of the large military presence the man to woman ratio is probably pretty high in "Man-Diego". Just the opposite in Atlanta which is fine with me .

I think the fact that everybody is being childish and arguing over wether Atlanta is fat or not is retarded. I mean the guy from SD is really childish and ignorant. I've been to Atlanta plenty of times and plenty of Cali cities as well and this is my take:

I think it all depends on what type of female guys are looking for. Of course, wether people will admit it or not, picking a mate a lot of times do depend on race. Well when it comes down to looks. Most (not all) white males would probly perfer SD and most black males (not all) would probly perfer ATL. With hispanics you can't really say because hispanic is NOT a race. There are black, biracial, white etc hispanics. I would say for the Central/South American hispanics SD would probly be a better fit but maybe Caribbean hispanics (Puerto Ricans, Dominicans and although not Carib Panamainians etc) it could go either way depending on what the individual is looking for.

You revived a thread (which had been dead for seven months) regarding the dating scenes of these two cities in order to post public transportation videos? Why?

My bad. I forgot it was about dating. I thought it was comparing the two cities in general. But on the dating note.

Yeah. Even though Atlanta is known as one of the "Chocolate Cities" Metro wise it's quite the rainbow. And it's not like there is a tiny number of whites in Metro Atlanta. San Diego has around 300,000 white females. Fulton county which covers only about a little more land than San Diego (530 sq mi compared to 320) has about 225,000 white females. Then when you travel next door to Gwinnet or Cobb counties there are around 270,000 and 245,000 (Cobb county covers about the same area as San Diego and only has around 30,000 fewer white females.) When you add it all up I think it's a pretty safe bet that there are more white females in Metro Atlanta than Metro San Diego despite Atlanta's reputation for black beauties.

I think Metro Atlanta has a pretty good mix really.
