Thank you. Now a much more transient city is Las Vegas. I'm so happy I dont live in Vegas. I know people there do not stay long term. I met a group of people there once and they were like, "yeah it's ok I guess." One of my relatives says Vegas is just ok. He has said there are not much people from there. I know he wants to leave and has talked about it for 2 years now.

But I love it here in Phoenix. It truly is my dream city. In my career I'm developing, there is a high need here for it.

With this being said, I'll just keep asking the women on dates if they see themselves in Phoenix long term. Then I'll explain how I never want to move away and how i also want to retire in Scottsdale.

Yep, nothing but one big sausage fest here.

But assuming you are telling your female companions what school your future children will go to and what city you will live in together, one could guess maybe they are just telling you they are moving away.

That town is so boring. No skyscrapers, big malls, or any city life. I really want to have my career here and I want my future kids to go to school in the Kyrene District. It's just hard trying to find a woman who loves Phoenix as much as I do. I've also met a woman who wanted to move to another part of the world and just said Phoenix would do for now.

Another guy recently told me that it will be hard to almost impossible to find a girl who wants to live in Phoenix. He said it's because girls love to move to other parts of the country. I don't understand it. Why do people not want to stay in Phoenix? And when I say Phoenix, I'm talking about all of Maricopa County, not just the city limits. It's so nice here. Phoenix is probably the only nice city in all of Arizona.

Furthermore, why is it that everybody gives me a funny look and say that Phoenix is full of rude people when I tell them how nice and friendly people around here are. I've met some of the nicest most kindest people here. I've met people who would go out of their way to help you.
There are different kinds of rudeness.

People in Phoenix are less likely to scream curses at you.

However, they are more likely to not return telephone calls, show up two hours late without apologizing, not bother to thank you, and swindle you.

A friend of mine had a guy spit it her when she politely asked him to pull over.

Someone got spat at here? That person is probably from the northeast or somewhere else. What does swindling mean? I've had good experiences here. I'm from Texas, but I love Arizona. I'd say the friendliest cities in Arizona are Phoenix, Flagstaff, and Yuma. Flagstaff and Yuma are too small. I'm a big city guy. Phoenix is probably the only city I'd live in here in Arizona. I've found Tucson too small as well, and not friendly either, really cold too.

Trying my hardest to get a visual on this.

Was she standing on Van Buren with tight, tight shorts and very high heels?

OP, where are you casting your bait? Clubs, bars, work?

Seriously; where do you find these gypsy girls that you speak of?

I attended grad school at ASU (am a California native and moved back to the Bay Area after graduation). I have to say that those were the best singles years of my life. Women seemed much more approachable and I had a ton of fun going out in Scottsdale. I'm a decent looking guy but not over the top, so I always felt that if you couldn't find women here, there was something wrong with you. Not sure how many of them were marriage material but for dating and hookups, it was a great couple years for me.

OP - You like Phoenix. Fantastic. Many people do; and many people don't. I wouldn't live in Phoenix if I was paid to do so, but that shouldn't matter. There are many people who, ,like you, like Phoenix. Why would you care about the people who do not?

Let's see, so I met this one girl in work training. She was from Los Angeles. I asked her out and she rejected me. She moved to Tucson a few months later. Idk why she chose that place.

I met another girl while living in Tucson. She said she hated Phoenix and returned to Tucson after college.

I went on a tinder date with a girl who was in the peace corps. She lived in China and wants to live in another part of the world in the future.

I met another girl from Cottonwood. She said she hates big cities and wants to live out in the country. She was a redneck.

I haven't really tried much tbh. I started losing hope that the kind of girl I like would even exist. I'm also not sure where else in Phoenix to meet people. I'm not sure if it's ok to talk to people while riding the metro or the bus. Meetup seems really cliquish.
