I know you can find any kind of person in any state, but I have noticed that some states have more than others of certain types.
If I'm really into being fit and out in nature and like liberal-minded, open-minded people who are driven and responsible, but at the same time aren't married to their job (DC had some amazing people, but all anyone cared about was their career for example), which state could I consider? In fact, I am really not into the East Coast either. Lived there for a while and it wasn't my cup of tea. A lot of the culture was very cold in my opinion.
For those of you who have lived all over the map, what would you recommend? Out of curiosity.
I have heard so many mixed things about California. On the one hand, people tell me how trashy and fake LA is, but San Francisco for example sounds like a lovely place. The only issue I have with California is the cost of living. I looked at apartments in San Francisco and I don't think I would enjoy spending so much of my paycheck just on rent.
I am actually moving to Dallas for work (that is where I found a job not where I want to live my life indefinitely). So far I don't get the feeling that I will enjoy it a whole lot talking to friends who live there and having visited many times. I feel like I don't fit the type of woman most guys want there (blonde barbie, homemaker type).
San Francisco Bay Area, within a 3 hour drive you can be snowboarding, hiking El Capitan @ Yosemite, or playing craps at Lake Tahoe....2 hours and you can be near the coastal redwoods, or the foothills, and mountain bike/hike/trail run, under the shade of Pine trees....in an hours time, you can have some of the best and most creatively diverse meals....the city has neighborhoods where restaurants are several to the block....Not to mention you have the World Series Champs and possible NBA champs...along with a decent hockey team...and two crappy NFL teams, and a tolerable Pro soccer team...There are so many diverse suburbs in the bay area, you just can't lose.....The weather, was so good in California, it's cruel to mention the number of days of sun and 70+ degrees we enjoyed this winter.
All of that comes at a price! Just saw your reply, so I will tell you that there are more reasonable areas to live in the bay area....City and Peninsula are high, East Bay/Contra Costa county is traditionally lower....take BART into the city

rose you sure have a broad brush in generalizations
Definitely this, which goes back to my post about how threads and posters like these are often misinformed because they're frequently a slave to their own stereotypes.
