Is San Diego a good place to be single? (best cities, buying)

[Michigan_Man]

Hi everyone I was wondering, is San Diego a good place to be to meet different people between the ages of 18-30? I'm considering this area and would like some input. Thanks in advance :-)

I would say yes, San Diego is a fun place for singles. I must say, San Diego has a lot of hot girls! The Gaslamp District in downtown S.D. and Pacific Beach are great places to meet people, if you're into the whole bar/club scene. I have heard San Diego girls having the reputation of being stuck-up and materialistic, but they aren't all like that, just depends on where you go. I happened to meet a lot of down-to-earth girls while I was living out here. Also, it has a very ethnicly diverse population so you can meet a variety of different girls. Whether you like white, black, hispanic, or asian girls, you'll find them all here. In fact, it is rated one of the best cities for singles.

I'm not saying it's a bad place for couples, but now that I'm about to get married, me and my wife-to-be are ready to relocate to a different scene.

You pretty much summed it up.

I became single at age 28 and for 3 years, I was living "high on the hog". There was so much to do, so much live music, great bars and it is a great city to meet very interesting girls. As far as the gay scene goes, well, some of my friends have positive things to say. As far as girls looking for guys, on the other hand, ummmm slim pickin's really. Sure girls you can find a cute guy to sleep with, but seriously, most San Diego guys (not all) are kind of pricks. No offense guys, but if you know you are a prick, you should not get riled up for me pointing out a fact. if you are not a prick then I am obvioulsy talking about the other several hundred thousand or so guys. : )

The dating scene in SD is strange. It's full of weird little games. Potential dates size you up on your job, car, appearance and other superficial traits much moreso than other cities. If you don't meet these standars, most people there will reject you immediately.
Also, the men and women tend to to arrogant and stuck up. They act like they're above you, and you have to play a big game just to bring them down to your level and make them drop their front. If you want to date in SD you can't be laid back about it, you gotta play the SD game and put on the SD uniform. It's really a lame scene.
Also a LOT of people in SD are truely nasty and scandelous. Instead of SD they should call it STD. Cause that's what you'll get in that city if you're not careful.

sounds a bit like sour grapes to me. expectations lead to disappointment. i had fun for me and girls are attracted to people who are feeling good about themselves and not really that guy skulking around complaining about how superficial everyone is. That sort of "mightier than thou" thing works to attract other people who have a tendency to jump on the Debby Downer bandwagon but it does little to attract quality ...sorry, just my dos centavos para ti mi hombrito enojadito

Yeah. I guess the numerous other posters who say SD and OC are superficial are sour grapes too? Nope, SD and OC are superficial and materialistic. It doesn't take a whole lot of brains or judgement to see this.
I met a lot of people in SD and my dating life was great while I lived there. But I had to deal with hundreds and hundreds of snobby, rotton people just to find a handfull of respectful ones.
Most of you So-Cal people are so indoctrinated into the plastic culture of materialism that you don't even see it or know that you're doing it. Or you're just not pereptive or intelligent enough to see it for what it really is.
But there's a LOT of posts in these threads saying just this, that you all are snobs. Are they all just crazy? I don't think so.

sorry, I didn't hear you correctly...could you come again...the damn text-2-voice translator in my new Lexus LS 460 hybrid... piece of crap really isn't working all that well. That's what I get for not buying the one that Paris is selling to help feed the poor kids on the streets of Bel Air.

Sweeping generalizations are so failing in my Logic 101 class. I should know by now...I like own the whole university.

Oops...Bars are closing soon...gotta rush in there to see if I can find some girl who is attracted to my keen sense of fashion.

All the people I met in SD are all nice just depends on the people you attract and the vibe you bring out to attract the ******* and *******s in San Diego.Just learn to let the comments that other people make by letting them go.There will always be pricks in every city or town you arrive at,you just got to keep a level head and move on to the next person.Always be nice and respectful,if you worked for someone in SD,it would be better to own your own business and have them work for you.Nobody likes complainers,Negativity,opinionated people anywhere.But in overall with the people in SD just think maybe they are having a bad day? or maybe their mom died and they can't handle it,always look for the alternative reason as to why they are acting like the way they are and not have an attitude and think that they have a stick up their ass.

It's probably because we're not taking our meds.
