Would you MOVE for a better dating scene if you felt like the city another city would provide much better dating opportunities than the one you currently live in?
Not at all........unless the city was VERY small.
But since I have always lived in bigger cities, at least 1 million people, I would not move.
In the end, it largely depends on the individual to be sucessful than the "scene". I say that because we've gotten so inundated with "Top Ten" lists for pretty much anything and that's led to unrealistic expectations and disappointment.
When did you move to Austin? Does it actually feel like living on the surface of the sun there

YES!!!!! I hate Atlanta, and there's no jobs in my industry anyway. I'm trying to move and the single scene will be a big consideration after the job.
I live in a tiny town in north Ga. In two years I have only had a hand full of dates and most lived 90 mins to 2 hrs away.
I am considering moving back to AZ but that can't be the only reason. I have family in AZ as well. I do know that i'd like to start dating more and this likely is not the place where I have a good chance of that happening.

I'm looking at Milwalkee, WI of all places. There's a job opportunity there. Its about 90 miles from my brother and his family live in Chicago. So I may move and freeze my a*s off. Still, can't be a worse dating scene than Atlanta.
I would never move based on a better dating scene. Every single person in a town with a lousy dating scene is always tempted to do this, but only move if you will get a pay raise in an area that will keep up with the cost of living, or where a pay cut will not put you in the poorhouse. Just because a place has a better dating scene does not mean you should be poor to live there. Also, I am going to assume that a better dating scene just means more of the opposite sex available. Be aware this could be quantity over quality. Not having a good dating scene allows you the opportunity to find happiness in other ways.
I have always thought about this. I've wanted to move out of the United States, possibly to Latin America or Europe as women there seem to LOVE me, I get a good amount of attention there but it's usually the case that I cannot pursue a relationship due to the distance...however I have not had much luck here in LA attracting women who have anything of value to offer.
So why don't I move? well, easier said than done. I would not earn half as much as I do in Europe as I do here in the US...not to mention the taxes are insane in Europe and things are about twice as expensive without even figuring in the 20% VAT. It's insanity. There is also the language problem...but I guess I would learn that slowly. The money is a big incentive to stay.
So yes, I would drastically improve my love life if I move to Europe or Latin America but the good money keeps me here in the US...even if it means that I have to compromise in my personal life. Who knows? if things keep going the way they are the money may disappear and I may make that move
It really depends on your age, and career. Maybe a rural area would benefit your career, many of my friends in high positions now, had to "pay" their dues in Podunk, USA for a few years...but it was worth it to them...
