I had a recent experience going to Tuscon for a wedding for a few days and was getting a lot of matches and numbers and high interest just in the few days I was there plus IOIs from women in person that is rather uncommon where I currently live.
Tucson is one of the worst mating environments for a metro area of its size. Metro Tucson has a population right around 1 million.
Tucson is passable as a university student or a retiree. In between those points in life, it's very difficult. Tucson isn't geared for the working age person. There's a low quality of employment options. As a result, the quality and quantity of dating options in Tucson are disappointing.
There's also a large Air Force base in Tucson so that makes ratios worse.
I would have thought San Antonio would be nice but due to its military base, I sort of doubt it.
San Antonio is almost like the Tucson of Texas. It's a big city overshadowed by nearby bigger cities with a military base. Tucson is very much overshadowed by Phoenix two hours north of it. San Antonio is dealing with Dallas and Houston nearby. Additionally, Metro Austin is a similar size to San Antonio and has a bigger cool factor to it.
the culture in Dallas and Houston sounds insufferable.
Dallas has a tough culture. It's very superficial and pretentious like Miami, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Phoenix. Women have endless options in Dallas and are not afraid to exercise them. Hypergamy is very real in Dallas.
In summer, Dallas has some pool parties that try to resemble the Las Vegas Strip or Miami/Miami Beach.
Houston women are a little bit more reasonable than Dallas women, but are less good looking.
Austin also sounds bad because it's super leftist and woke.
That's a major problem with Austin.
