I enjoy the coasts of The US too much.
Getting to the ocean isn't that difficult when living in Phoenix.
Many Phoenix area residents go to San Diego beaches in the warmer months. The same thing happens to a lesser extent with Los Angeles and Orange County coastal areas. San Diego seems to be the main beach destination for Phoenix residents though. San Diego is about a 5-5.5 hour drive from Phoenix if traffic cooperates.
Puerto Penasco in Mexico is about 3.5 hours away on the Gulf of California. Puerto Penasco is more popular with college students than the post college crowd.
The Phoenix crowd that tends to go to San Diego in the warmer months are people in established relationships and sometimes with families. Unattached Phoenix bachelors don't tend to randomly go to San Diego, unless they have a good social circle.

it's foolish when broads wear revealing clothing yet complain about getting checked out.
I agree.
Visiting the Phoenix area vs. living there are 2 very different experiences.
The combination of dealing with a weak job market for a city of its size and women with bad attitudes isn't a pleasant combination in Phoenix.
It's easier to date in Phoenix if you're not reliant upon the swipe apps or meeting people on the various bar scenes in the area (Old Town Scottsdale, Central Phoenix, Tempe, etc.).
Settling in Phoenix as an adult is easier under the following conditions. The more that apply to you, the better.
1. You grew up in Phoenix or in another part of Arizona. This will help with your social circle connections around Phoenix, and would reduce your reliance on the bar scene or swipe apps.
2. You went to Arizona State, University of Arizona, or another college that has a strong alumni base in Phoenix. Arizona State and University of Arizona are colleges with the best alumni base in Phoenix and good alumni groups in the city. This also helps reduce reliance on bars and swipe apps.
3. You are 6'0"+ with a fit/muscular physique. In that case, items #1 and #2 probably are irrelevant to you. If you are rich enough, #1 and #2 might not matter, but few men have enough money to make #1 and #2 irrelevant.
4. You tend to like fitness activities. This is the least important, but seems to help.
