Should I Move to Los Angeles?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: August 31st, 2012 1:53 PM Author: Ruby Concupiscible Heaven I know there have been a few threads about LA recently. I have a job offer to move there and it's a pretty sweet one. The job is downtown. I would probably be living in Santa Monica (can't think of a reason to live in LA and *not* live in a beach city).
I am a single early 30s bro from the Northeast but I've lived in a lot of different cities, including NY, LA (for a brief stint 10 years ago), and a couple of places overseas. So I can adjust.
I have a few questions:
1. Is it really all that difficult to party in LA given how you have to drive everywhere?
2. Tell me about the bars in Santa Monica
3. Tell me about what it's like to be single in LA - some people say it sucks, some people say it's a great place to be single. I do want to settle down somewhat soon, so meeting a wifey-appropriate chick is somewhat on my mind. I don't mind dating a chick around my age if it means dating someone more mature that I have shit in common with, who is also ready to settle down.
4. Am I being an idiot by limiting myself to a beach city? I just can't see why people would move to LA and not live near the beach if they have the means. |

Date: August 31st, 2012 2:02 PM Author: Ruby Concupiscible Heaven So SM is not good for singles?
What about somewhere like Manhattan Beach? Someone in the other thread said that the commute would be horrible, but I could just take the 110 downtown and wouldn't have to get to the 405 at all.
Venice, isn't that where art meets crime? I'm not into the hipster thing so Silver Lake is out.
I'm kind of a preppy, yuppie dood myself so I don't mind (and would actually prefer) a more 'yuppie' area. |

Date: August 31st, 2012 2:13 PM Author: cerebral stage Commute from MB to DT is something a lot of people do, and you wont have to take the 405.
MB has the very best singles scene if you are a chill alpha bro, non-hipster, non model/actor/actress.
Venice is surfer and rich hipster, has a top notch singles scene but it's hard to break into that circle. Venice is where all the very creative successful people live now.
SM is just TTT. It is nice if you are old and super wealthy and can afford to live in the nice areas. If you are in your 20s or 30s living in an apt it will suck. It is generic, run of the mill. Third Street Promenade, the central area of SM, is like the Vegas strip. The beach is filled with tourists and scumbags and the quality of the water there sucks.
If you are pretty and yuppie, manhattan beach is the only place for you. |

Santa Monica by the beach is walking distance to Rose, which is the new Venice hotspot. Santa Monica is a city with a beach. Venice is a beachfront boardwalk and neighborhood of LA that used to be a slum infested with gang violence. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2038850&forum_id=2#21477780) |

|
Date: August 31st, 2012 2:03 PM Author: Ruby Concupiscible Heaven Re: Manhattan Beach, I'd be working downtown and would be taking the 110. I haven't done the commute in rush hour traffic, but I don't need to get onto the 405 at all and I'd be spending about 10 miles on the 110 before I get off the freeway.
Also what's the social scene like in MB? What are the chicks like? More singles? More walkability to bars? What about other amenities (grocery stores and such)?
I'm an athletic dood but I'm not a surf dood. Will this hurt me? |
|
Date: August 31st, 2012 2:09 PM Author: cerebral stage MB/Hermosa has a 180 social scene for people in their 20s and early 30s. Most people there arent real surfers so it doesnt matter (but it is something easy to learn if you live there)
the beach there is a million times better than SM which is full of tourists and everyone from Covina and Riverside. MB is basically like it's own little enclave. THe only downside to MB is that it feels a bit removed from the rest of l.a. and is 100% white.
If you are not into the whole hipster scene, or hollywood scene, MB is the place to live. MB is like, frat row from college but grown up.
Tons of walkability to bars (frat type bars). Lots of singles, lots of hooking up, lots of 180 bbqs, lots of partying. Tons of amenities, grocery stores, gyms etc... it is it's own little city. has everything you need.
the only reason not to live there is if you cant deal with the 1 hour commute, you are a hipster, you are an actor and need to get to auditions, you are into all that hollywood shit, or you are a dork and will feel uncomfortable around a ll the chill alphas |
|
Date: August 31st, 2012 2:14 PM Author: Ruby Concupiscible Heaven I am a white WASPbro originally from New England. I'm athletic, although more with East Coast sports (rowing) than with West Coast sports (water polo). I don't mind and actually prefer the 100% whiteness of a place like Manhattan Beach, and I can only deal with hipsters and hollywood in small doses.
I don't mind the commute. Like I said, I will be commuting in off hours at least twice a week so I'd be beating the worst of the traffic. I can also do some work on the commute (talk on the phone) so it's not that bad.
What are the chicks like in MB? Will it be easy to meet people in MB? I have family and friends in the LA area but with one exception, they're all married with small kids. |
|
Date: August 31st, 2012 2:17 PM Author: cerebral stage MB is a great place to meet chicks. It is where the very hottest USC girls move to after they graduate if they remain in L.A. It is very easy to meet chill friendly girls at bars, and there are a ton of social activities, rec beach volleyball, etc... Tons of BBQs etc... It really is paradise for the right kind of bro.
|
|
Date: August 31st, 2012 2:21 PM Author: Ruby Concupiscible Heaven Tell me more about the chicks. I don't want the kind of chick who's into Hollywood or who wants to break into acting. I like girls who are smart and have some career shit or shit of their own going on. Fake tits and conspicuously fake blonde hair does not appeal to me at all. A natural, classy, athletic blonde with a natural tan is my favorite look, although I've met some hot as shit hapa chicks in my time and I'd probably put them at a solid #2 and you don't get many of the latter type of girl in the northeast.
Also, are the MB chicks the kind who won't fuck you unless your dad has millions of dollars or you're a pro/Olympic athlete? |

Date: August 31st, 2012 2:38 PM Author: Ruby Concupiscible Heaven Cool.
One more question (and I know this will sound douchey) but how smart are the girls there? I can't take a girl seriously in a relationship if I don't think she's smart, no matter how cheerful or big-titted she is. I don't like the NY attitude of being overintellectual at the expense of actual intelligence, but I've learned from experience that the kinds of chicks who have nothing going for them except their looks bore the shit out of me and become 'old pussy' fairly quickly. |

Date: September 1st, 2012 9:49 PM Author: Flatulent generalized bond yarmulke This is bullshit. I have been blatantly hit on by several hot women at bars in Santa Monica recently. A couple of them may have been professionals, but a few others were just hot -30 yr. old local women. Santa Monica is the best place to live in LA. On the beach and has the best access to everywhere except BH/hollywood or downtown, which is a 30 minute commute each way. If I want to go see even more fake tits and dried up USC wanna be losers I can also drive 30 minutes down to the white trash wonderland known as the Southbay.

Date: September 1st, 2012 10:05 PM Author: Ruby Concupiscible Heaven I don't want to be in a family-oriented area. Pacific Palisades is for families, right? I originally was all in favor of the Wilshire Montana area but someone told me about how Manhattan Beach was this fun little beach community filled with USC alumnae and former athletes/fraternity alumnae, which sounded like fun.
I just don't want to be surrounded by tramp stampy white trash. I can concede the fake tits if they're not conspicuously fake.
Also tell me about the best bars in Santa Monica. I'm not interested in meeting cougars but I'd prefer dating a woman between 28 and 35 who has held herself together (I'm 32) and has done shit with her life to a vapid 23 year old sororislut with a tramp stamp or tongue piercing. |
|
Date: September 1st, 2012 10:09 PM Author: Flatulent generalized bond yarmulke I have several bars that I like but that would be a little to Doubious for me to discuss. I'll throw out Shorebar in the SM canyon as the kind of place you are looking for.
Pac Pal is pretty family oriented, but there are alot of really upscale hotties with good upbringings roaming the area. The triangle from Montana or Wilshire and Ocean, to montana/Wilshire and San Vicente, to where sunset meets PCH is the area where you will find the most upscale and classy local LA girls. |
|
Date: September 1st, 2012 10:14 PM Author: Ruby Concupiscible Heaven Can you walk to Shorebar from the Wilshire Montana area?

Date: September 1st, 2012 8:56 PM Author: Ruby Concupiscible Heaven OP here. What makes you say that?
Nice weather, good beaches, some chill neighborhoods. The downside is the commute to work but all cities have downsides. Spending 30 minutes in a subway full of smelly people is one hell of a downside too. |

Date: September 1st, 2012 9:38 PM Author: apoplectic set White people in LA (County) are a lot weirder than white people in Eastern cities and even San Francisco. Most clean-cut white yuppie types have a rough time there. You might survive in Manhattan Beach for a few years without going crazy, but odds are you'll hightail it to Orange County, SD, or the Bay as soon as you get the chance (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2038850&forum_id=2#21476673) |

Date: September 1st, 2012 9:44 PM Author: Ruby Concupiscible Heaven Define "weird".
To be honest, I wouldn't mind spending 3 years in Manhattan Beach and decamping for San Diego once I meet a nice girl and want to settle down. |
|
Date: September 1st, 2012 9:50 PM Author: apoplectic set Think of everything that would make you call someone a "weirdo," then mix it into the population in heavy concentrations and you have LA.
However, if you have it in your mind that this is just a fun stopover to pick up a wifey, then go for it. You'll be fine, but you should probably stick to Manhattan Beach and environs. |

Date: September 1st, 2012 9:57 PM Author: Ruby Concupiscible Heaven This is what I'm thinking too. I don't consider a dood who surfs and wears board shorts instead of critter pants to be "weird". You'll never see me in a shirt with a dragon on it or, worse, one of those Affliction or Ed Hardy abominations but something tells me that all of the bros who were in SAE at USC aren't terribly "weird". And that members of the Jonathan Club aren't that "weird", either.
LA is a big city. There's a scene for everyone. And even I can deal with weird (hipster, tattoos, creative, artsy) in small doses. It's actually fun in small doses. |

Date: September 1st, 2012 10:31 PM Author: Ruby Concupiscible Heaven I know the type.
I've actually spent a bit of time in LA several years ago so I'm not completely unfamiliar with the city. Don't want to really say where and how. But I am very familiar with the weirdness that is the SoCal republican. |

Date: September 1st, 2012 10:08 PM Author: apoplectic set Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that the weird people were the ones scaring yuppies away. I more meant that the mixture of traffic, crime, immigrants, flakiness, Hollywood culture, and general oddness causes most educated, well-adjusted white people to dislike the city and move away, and the people who remain are usually, yes, a little weird. I'm just speaking from what I've heard numerous times. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2038850&forum_id=2#21476854) |

Date: September 2nd, 2012 5:23 PM Author: odious school cafeteria Lolwut. These chicks are a dime a dozen in LA. Every hot girl in america has one thing in common: they consider moving to LA at some point in their life. A substantial number end up doing it. Repeat that over several decadess (interbreeding them all the while), and you have above average attractiveness in your population.
If you doubt this, check out the hipper bars in Hollywood or Santa Monica on thurs, fri or sat night of any week. |

Date: September 5th, 2012 4:19 PM Author: claret stag film if you're looking for a "professional" scene, you're not going to find it in manhattan/hermosa beach. you're going to find a bunch of early-late 20s frat types who works a sales/marketing job making under $100k with rich parents. it is a fairly insular scene where everyone is from socal and went to the same socal schools. also, if you're over 30 and single, you will be a bit too old for the scene.
single finance/law types do not live there. santa monica is a much better scene if you're looking for late 20/early 30s yuppies. |
