If you want to meet people, hang out and have fun, you will. Its the same whether a city has 1,000 people or 1 million people. Its all what you make of what is around you.
Dean, I agree up to a point. But my experiences have really soured me on this city. Compared to other places I would like to live, Dallas is filthy, crime-ridden, ugly, traffic-choked and DULL.

And worst of all, people's attitudes are so awful. I've never met so many conceited and image-conscious people anywhere else... except for maybe San Diego. And I can almost see why San Diego residents are so stuck-up. It is probably the most beautiful and perfect place in the US to live... if you can afford it.
