Dating aside, if you had your choice between the two cities which would you pick as the place to live long term?

Thanks

Very dependent on what your stage of life is and your status and what the salaries are gonna be.

As general as I can get.

If you are a single person, who looks for good nightlife, with all of the big city amenities, Washington DC.

Kicker: The COL is pretty high here.

If you are a young family, who would be starting out with not much money and is willing to sacrifice some bigger city amenities (or go to other nearby big cities to get them) for a low COL, Louisville.

Kicker: the school system is pretty poor in Kentucky.

You can DM me if you want to get more of a personalized recommendation.

Relocation has affected the quality of my opportunities with the opposite sex in dating with the guy's physical attractiveness, wealth, and status tending to fluctuate.

Such as in some states my opportunities are with extremely attractive but low-income guys and in other states it's extremely attractive and high income guys.

I haven't experienced a difference in friendships or relating to a new area as it seems I make friends with who I want quite easily.
