Probably fine if you are white
Probably fine if you are white
Places don't get more diverse until people show up...Yeah this is more or less the issue for me
If it was more diverse, had more cultural attractions of my taste (beyond the outdoors) and perhaps better cuisine, I would consider living there due to the COL alone
Probably fine if you are white
OK, jeez, I apologize for hating on Idaho. I can't say I'm an afficionado, but I've been to enough of the state I guess to say, stay out of the ass section. I didn't know it had a nice section. One of my best friends lives in the ass section, and I used to go visit my ex's grandparents out there too.
Lol naw but you do youProbably fine if you are any color
The only cuisine it's missing is good Chinese
^The I84 corridor does run throughout the the high desert snake river valley. Eastern OR is rugged and dry. Imposing really. It's a different kind of beauty. The foothills in ID flow on for 30-50 miles because as I understand it they are geologically older. You need to get north of where you drive though the state to find those gorgeous area. It's so rugged and remote you can't just put an interstate through there.
The Boise metro is fantastic. About ~700,000 people in the valley. One of fastest areas growing in the entire country. The only cuisine it's missing is good Chinese but everything else is really well covered except for the Mexican which is surprising considering the sizeable Latino population. I've seen Rent, the Lion King, Phantom of the Opera, and the Book of Mormon (because my wife makes me go to ****ing musicals). I've been to the symphony. Treefort is a kick ass music festival getting bigger each year.
San Fran is good, otherwise I find the West Coast not to be as good as it used to be, historically. I can't remember why, but I read something about why the Chinatowns have declined. There's some decent places in LA. I have no idea about the East Coast as far as that goes.I found it hard to find good Chinese in most parts of SoCal, too. Too many P.F. Chang's and Panda Expresses.
Good Chinese food = New York.

Yes because i stayed in, visited and lived in those areas. Also know a friend who lived in middle America and did not like it.Lol. Like you would know. But you do you.

Dating sucks irl and online in those area for the most part to, Tinder is a crapshoot at both angles since you don't have the population density AND most women there only date one type of guy. Also there's barely anyone of other races to begin with too.
I'm not even trying to hate. I'm being practical. If you are white those places are fine. If you are not and you are young and still looking for a partner or a solid mix of people avoid anywhere too rural in middle America. If you stick to the metropolitan areas in those states im sure most people will be fine. In my opinion i think if you are older and have your immediate network and family settled then moving to a rural area is fine but for a young person especially nonwhite I'd live in a more diverse area first.
I don't think you read my post well. I have zero issues dating white people. If you look at online dating stats you see that most white people practice endogamy. I don't care who dates who but it's common knowledge that people date within thier race most of the time. This again is not an issue, i been white people before, in fact in my position you kind of have to but in middle America it's definitely harder compared to the coast.Oh. So your anecdote translates. To the whole large area.
I'm not convinced your issues story dating apps supports an argument that it's only good for white people.
What is wrong with dating white prople?
Like i said in my other post if you are already in a family then you are probably fine. If you are young, single and still need to find a place in the world I'd avoid these areas. Middle America is probably good for the starting a family or retiring regardless of who you are.I didn't gather whether or not the OP was single or not. At the time of doing my own thing, I was engaged to be married so admittedly wasn't worried about the dating scene. Just food & commute.

Also these are all opinions in this thread. Im just stating mine, only difference is I'm going against the grain in this thread. I just think if you have the choice live somewhere else.
This seems a long way off of your original stupid comment.
So you didn't like it because white girls wouldn't date you. Got it. I still don't see how translates into "probably fine if you are white"

... and open restaurants (thereby elevating the cuisine). It's not magic, and it doesn't happen overnight. I may be a white guy, but I don't want to go anywhere I can't get good shawarma, either.
Is it difficult to find physician jobs in the picturesque parts of Wyoming/Montana? As much as I'm sure 'forested mountains' are a more niche taste than 'major metros' and only a small percentage of physicians would be looking to work there, the populations near wilderness areas are also really tiny and probably not big enough to support too many physicians. If anything, I'd guess there are more physicians wanting to work in the nice parts of Wyoming and Montana than there are jobs for them, no?
