Off Hazeltine the old Fashion Square mall. Different name now. I went in, walked around, sat upstairs in restaurant area coffeee shop. Took a seat to people watch, work on Laptop. So many Persian people! Well off minorites from Iran, Iraq, Jordan, etc. I saw a lot of women but they seemed unaproachable. Mother's with their daughters, and the kid was yacking on the cell wearing designer clothes made in Europe. I feel so sorry for the dudes who marry women like this. I cannot imagine being married to a woman like this.

Either way, for 40+ single men in SoFL or SoCal, meeting attractive, intelligent women not easy!
Really enjoy reading your comments

You mention in one of your lists that Cuba is 45 minutes from Miami [but can a person go to Cuba from America?]. We fly to San Juan from Miami & it takes forever [almost 3 hours].

My experience with LA women is limited yet successful but I understand the attitude thing especially in Sherman Oaks Galleria. If you don't have wheels it can restrict the time w/ girls unless they have a car. Normally we take in the cinema & lock lips in the back

In San Juan its estas buena in the park!

Santa Monica. Not only is there much more, but it brings LA to the table, which absolutely dominates Miami. I'm not really a fan of Miami.

Live, Santa Monica, although I'm not a fan. Couldn't see myself living in Miami. But I would NEVER recommend LA or Santa Monica as a place to vacation. Go to Santa Barbara, Newport Beach or San Diego. Miami Beach, however, seems like a real tourist destination.

The thing that awes you, wows you, is the beautiful waters of Biscayne Bay and the Gulfstream waters of the Atlantic Ocean,those two bodies of water are gorgeous.

Ugly, concrete jungle with smog. If you are interested in beaches, go to Santa Barbara, Carmel, San Diego, Newport Beach. If you are interested in cities, go to San Francisco, Seattle, or Vancouver on the west coast. If you are interested in non-beach outdoors, go to Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, etc. Santa Monica isn't very pretty, doesn't have that much going on, and is stuck in LA which blows.
