Rap and weed.
Don't go to California. Rent is absurd and you'll pay 1000/month in the middle of the ghetto.
>>17924113
But how are the girls and the attitude of people?
>>17924113
How the fuck do ghetto people even afford that??

Welfare, section 8 vouchers, selling drugs.

I moved from Ohio to Las Vegas when I was 25. I had a little money saved and stayed in an extended stay hotel for a few weeks while I found an apartment. Weather is great, always something to do, no more oak allergy, and world class food. It was also cheaper for housing than most cities out west due to the market crash when I was there.
The cons are it can be very expensive if you have any addictions, isn't a great place to raise children, and you end up playing chauffeur whenever people you know come to town. Also, I rarely went to the strip as it was too much of a hassle dealing with tourists getting drunk and riding around on mobility scooters - not to mention those porn card guys. I was moved back to Ohio for work after four years and miss it from time to time - especially when it's 30 degrees out.

ohio bro myself
Where would you say you like living more, vegas or ohio?
>>17924223
Vegas when I was single, Ohio when I got married and had kids.
For the love of Christ do not come to LA unless you're a faggot or illegal immigrant. You will want to hang yourself.

I feel like being a 6'4 straight white man would make me stand out and be desired by women
>>17924271
>women desire tall men the meme
Women desire men who can give them something. Being tall isn't something you can give to a women you dolt.
I would suggest that you do not move to the Bay Area unless you already have housing and a job lined up, or some really good friends or family.

so basically a big dick or money?
>>17924247
really? i live in los angeles and i love it here.
>INB4 faggot or illegal immigrant
white with a gf thanks.

A big dick will only get you so far though. Money works better. If you're talking about settling down and starting a family then women are really interested in security, which money provides. Appearances obviously are important to get things started but just being tall isn't going to help if you can't provide anything else...

the rents have really gone up. when i first moved to hollywood we were able to rent a 2 bedroom apartment for 1500, so we each paid less than 800 (my roommate and I).
he moved out so i just kept subletting the spare room and making tiny remodels along the way. now the prices have gone up so much that i charge 1100 for my spare room and i only pay 400 a month for my half of everything. its pretty great.

diverse. you can say that about any place, you aren't goign to go to any small town and find all the girls act the same way, but here its even more diverse because its literally people from all over the world. there is a lot of talk of girls becoming more 'la' or more 'cali' but its just a stereotype joke kinda thing we can't even properly describe.
>>17924271
depends. there's a lot of ugly 6'4" men out there who run around talking about how tall they are so they should get all the girls.
>>17924461

>>17924113

California is a magical.
Imagine green lawns in a classic suburban neighborhood. You kiss your wife on the the cheek as you head to work. You smile at your neighbor and they give you a wave. "Hello neighbor!." You get in your car and head to work. You arrive and the manager gives you your assignment and it's off to work with you. By 5, you and the guys are ready to head home you grab a drink with them and pick up a bouquet for your wife. You arrive home and surprise her with the beautiful flowers. She's thrilled and surprises you with your favorite dinner. What's the big deal? She just got pregnant. The two of you can't wait to raise a happy child in beautiful California.
Except the green lawns are dirt becauss there's no water and you live in a shitty 1 bedroom apartment. Your girlfriend is uspet at you because your roomate was crying in the other room muttering about suicide. The neighbors are all spanish speaking Mexicans who all give you the eye when you leave your front door. At least you have a shitty car because you need it to drive 30 miles to get to work. 30 miles, or roughly 2 hours, of pollution, fatal car crashes, and truly angry people. You get to your shitty job only to find that they're downsizing but will keep you as a temp. At around 8 you realize the overtime isn't worth it and just leave. You grab some shitty whisky at Stater's and a $5 bundle of roses from a Mexican dude on a corner who probably got them from his neighbor. She gets home and tells you she's not sure if the two of you should stay together because the abortion is stressing her out. She tells you to leave to give her some space so you spend an hour in an In-N-Out drive-thru.
That's what living in California is like.
