Thinking To Move From NY, Have Questions!
Author Summary
TickThick is in New York
Post Body

My astrography chart says LA is best for career emotional fulfilment romantic connections overall lifestyle. I can make this happen through an internal transfer at work easily. COL and traffic is my least of concerns since my pay is solid and my company offer a shuttle to/from work. These are the topics I wanted more detail on please!

I am approaching my mid 30s, told I'm handsome looking, mixed race (not african but brown) and a nice good guy if that helps with the below. I am pre-screened for GBU too bur rarely go to it in NY as I'm more into dancing also.

Hookups/FB's/FWB's. Given everything is more spaced out, how easy is it to get a hookup? In NY it is hard because guys are constantly in their head / focused on the next best option and therefore the best way to get laid is at a bar/party when they are on drugs and chilled out. Is the culture more one and done or repeats?

Relationships. Is the scene everyone is open and you can barely find a single guy? Lots of singles looking to hookup and not enter even into an open relationship? etc. SF I found most were already taken and open, same with NY (and the ones single are just visiting) which kinda limits me in progressing things.

Parties. I do like circuit parties and 'look the part' but I don't really do drugs (more healing stuff like mushrooms) and am always hit on / get laid here (interestingly, mostly white guys hit on me). I am wondering what the scene is there for such things e.g. I saw there is Eagle, wondering if there is Horse Meat Disco/Wrecked/Harder etc type stuff (i.e. dark room dancing) and where this happens?

Bodybuilding/fitness. One thing I noticed in NY is there were basically no bodybuilding gyms like there were in London. Guys are fit but it doesn't seem to be a thing. By bodybuilding I mean more mens physique than being massive. I'm wondering how this fairs in LA, as when I was searching for gyms, they seemed fairly normal?

Neighbourhood. My chart recommended areas like Silver Lake, Santa Monica, Koreatown, Venice Beach and said to avoid areas like Weho (basically anything that is 'highly visible' as it will basically stress me out, like NY does). This is linked to my hookup question above. I want to avoid an area where I'm also in the middle of nowhere and not getting laid for weeks.

Car. Will I need to learn how to drive and get a car or can I get away with public transport and the work shuttle?

Weather. Is it always warm so people are in a better mood? Good beach life?
