First - I definitely did NOT downvote you despite that I'm a city guy through and through. (Can't live without my coffee shops and restaurants lmao)
But I do think you have a really good point that I myself haven't considered. America is super expensive in a city but if you can live really far, then it's just way cheaper and a lot easier to sustain your life. However, social entertainment is limited and most young people can't live without socializing (IRL not online)
PS: Gonna upvote you here and give you an award for giving me a different perspective.

I like that thought process. If you work towards it from 18, probably can be achieved before 40. But hey, as you said people want to party and travel instead of save and be self-sustainable.

I think that sounds great but quite amount of cost you got there. First you need a house and a lot of land to grow your own food. Then you also have to make money from selling that food (this is not child's play). Then you need a well with decent water and I guess you can't really make your own electricity and would have to pay for it.
I am not discrediting idea, just saying if it's easy, a lot of people would be doing it already!

Dumb question but how do we support ourselves staying at home?
I don't think anybody wants to work voluntarily.

Goddamn man, I replied to one of your initial reply but reading all these details really infuriates me. When you have some time to process and deal with all this shit and craziness, hit me up if you're down and let me buy you a drink.

Sure, I mean I met a ton of cool women here but that doesn't change the aggregate. Also if you already know you have good luck with women in Miami why do you want to come to Pittsburgh mate?

Summary of relevant stats for those too lazy to read.
TL DR, you actually can't draw much conclusion from the text unless you look at detailed Pittsburgh numbers in the dataset.

Bruh, that doesn't matter. Even if a city has 70% women and 30% men (impossible but stating to make a point), the apps will have 25% men and 5% women (lmao.)
You dont have to believe me, just download Tinder, get an average looking female stock photo and watch the likes come in. Then do the same for men. Do your own research.
Here are some stats and info I've collected from dating threads that may be of help:
- This subReddit only has 25% singles, so most people are already in a relationship. (400+ people poll I did)
- It's harder for folks to date over 30s or late 20s because most Pittsburgh natives meet their significant other earlier and stick with them.
- Do volunteering, join a sports league, do activities that you like are the most common answers. People believe those are better than apps.
From your history it doesn't look like you're from here and you're looking to see if there's a magic city that has amazing single women. Bruh, real talk, there is none. In any city, small, medium, or large, there are significant more men on apps. That's just how the world is. Dating is hard period these days and there is no magic cure or short cut or some special way to cheat the game.
My advice? Don't make it your life's focus. Do other things that are more important and if someone shows up in your life you like, ask them out, if not, keep going. And go to the gym lmao.

Well no but it's relative right. Curious, why such an offensive user name?

LOL exactly. Look folks, if this guy had the time to think about creating a name that especially mentions the C word then he has the time to spell Pittsburgh.

Ok, my reply was a joke but clearly it has bothered you more than it should. You don't have to use reductio ad ridiculum by creating extreme examples.
A few things to think about:
- First and foremost, you can be friends with anybody you want. The point is that they may not want to be friends with you.
- People exercise judgment when choosing friends and extra judgment on Reddit. The point of the humor is not about policing your actions but rather the probability of success, given what you've revealed to be judged.
- Sex for most people is an intimate thing. You're free to openly announce that on your user name and similarly people are free to openly judge you for that.
TL DR: It's not about you and lmao can't believe I even typed this out but it's actually helpful. If you want to make friends, maybe create another account instead?

Not impossible but highly improbable.

HedgeRunner t1_ithi8m4 wrote
Totally get you. For what it's worth, it's equally hard to meet people in Pittsburgh proper. There's tons of transplants in Pittsburgh and if this sub's history is an indication, very few actually developed meaningful friendship circles. Sure you can go to a Reddit meetup or a bar but it usually dies down after that.
Good luck and I hope people seeing this post reach out to you!

Young people with disposable income? Where can I find those rare pokemons - asking for a friend.
