I'm glad you're happy in Dallas. I'm a Dallas native who moved - bc we couldn't stand it. Many folks I know also moved, it seems to be a city for a certain type. I'll relay my type for others who may read your version.
We moved due to the consumerism (I've called it the Los Angeles of the South) and utter boredom of the city if you're not into shopping, eating out, sports teams, and many are focused solely on their corporate j.o.b. However, after moving I've also found that places that don't care about their career - are on the opposite end of the annoying spectrum (ha!)
The people in Dallas are some of the best I've met, down to Earth, easy to talk with and get along. But hell if I'd ever move back.
- bin_bash 4y agoDallas has a definite "consumerist" feel to it. You see more luxury cars here than in SF even though there is a lot less money. Sports are big though I'm definitely not into them. I think it depends on where you are in life and what you want out of your city. I would hate this place if I was 20. It's not the best for meeting new people from different walks of life and experiencing new things. It's for people looking to settle down in comfort with their families. It has a real 1950's postwar America feel to me. If you don't have a family don't bother moving to Dallas: you'll be bored out of your skull and have no way to relate to people. I think you're wrong that people are focused solely on their job here, for that experience move to the Bay or Seattle. Here I find even software engineers are more likely to talk to me about what fruit trees they're growing in their backyard than what Series their startup just entered.
