Outside of the dating pointers that are universal there are some important logistics and cultural differences in LA. LA is an image driven culture, people buy nice cars while renting small apartments. There are many exceptions, however girls I have met do seem to be focused on your job, position in society and cashflow. This isn't exclusive, but because there is a lot of money and flashy people in LA, a subset of the population has become image driven. Also, there are a LOT of people and attractive women (and men) in LA. You would do well to locate close to your job (as commuting is terrible) but still live in a happening part of the city. If you live in century city/santa monica/wilshire you can easily match with people close to you on tinder. Also, there are large concentrations of people in those areas. LA isn't really a city. Each "area" varies widely and has it's own culture. You should balance where you live with your ideals and proximity to your job. Venice is artsy and has a bit of a greenwich village feel (maybe a few years ago), Santa Monica is trendy kind of like nicer areas of manhattan, beverly hills is like the upper east side (old money, new money, trendy flashy and very luxurious), hollywood hills are kind of like nice areas of nassau county (very nice, expensive, private and a bit removed from the bustle of the city). Won't name every neighborhood/area but you need to find the best cultural fit with your ability to get to your job. Then you can find local people easily accessible with uber. edit: they are finishing up a railway system that ends on the santa monica pier. This is a pretty promising piece of public transportation. Might even be opened now as it looked close to completion when I was last there 2 months ago. You can live off of that for easier access to fun areas (venice/santa monica/wilshire). Public transportation is a joke, your real options are to get a car or to be in the area you spend most time in and use uber/lyft/sidecar.
