Never been to CO personally, but friends say if you aren't into outdoor activities/slow lifestyle, it can be dull. A lot of social groups are centered around what you do outside.
- trentmb 9y ago> slow lifestyle I've seen this before, but never quite understood what it means- lack of a 'night life?'
- bproven 9y agoyes I guess if you are used to places like SF / CA bay area, LA or any of the big east coast cities. Also it is not located close to any other major cities so you are "stuck" with whatever Denver has to offer for the most part. However the positive is the people in CO are the fittest in the nation due to this love of the outdoors.
- TYPE_FASTER 9y agoI was new to Boulder, and noticed a lot of people jogging. So I asked somebody in a store if there was a race or something. They looked at me funny and, no, it's just Saturday in Boulder.
- jhgaylor 9y agoThis is totally anecdotal but, moving from Mountain View to Denver was night and day. A couple of examples: Work seems to go slower here. It seems even the frantic pace of startup life takes a back seat to work life balance. People aren't usually in a hurry on the sidewalks downtown. It can be infuriating if you have somewhere to go.

- bproven 9y agoYep - but many people (myself included) see this as a good thing. :) It leads to drastic reduction in stress and an overall healthier (mind and body) lifestyle. But if you are used to high stress and crappy work/life balance (or have adapted to that lifestyle) I can see how it would try your patience.
