LOL seriously, though? I travel around europe a lot because of work. Gets lonely sometimes. I usually meet people through work. But it's hard to actually make friends if you only stay in one place for a few weeks at a time. i have friends that use tinder strictly for friends. it sounds kinda odd especially when your partner disagrees with it haha. i officially got my transfer from my job approved, so i guess my best bet is to hope theres some pretty cool people at that location like you gentlepeople

I shall install Tinder again then haha btw I immediately thought of We're the Millers too and you should watch that movie if you haven't seen it if I understood correctly, you're a woman, so it might be a different experience for you. I know a lot of guys are there to hook up :-| Yup, I'm a woman. I've actually met people off Tinder before but like you said most guys on there are looking for sex. There should be a friends-Tinder haha. A good way to meet new people is to take a class (language, cooking, whatevs)

I've lived in Michigan my whole life, 20 minutes away from one of the most dangerous cities in the US...Flint. I live in an area that is full od rednecks, wanna be thugs, and heroine addicts. I hated the area growing up, but I will always call it home.

I've never used Tinder...such a foreign thing to me. My wife actually used it FOR my friend once, and got him talking with like 4 girls in one day. She knew EXACTLY what to say lol. It'd be cool if there was a 'friends-er' though.

Those of you who have moved across the country, did y'all have jobs lined up before moving or did you move and then look for work? I'd really like to get out of Illinois and current trends indicate that no out-of-state employer will give me the time of day. Then again I can't get employers in Chicago to give me the time of day either, so I might as well just get fucked.

I didn't have a job when I moved, but used my previous job at home as a connection to set me up with something part time after about a month. Easier to get the job once you move methinks.

I don't want to risk and pressure myself into taking a shitty job because of money/time restrictions. I never understood people who would just move and then take a job that is absolutely sub-par to their education and skills.

When I lived in Poland the first time I couldn't get another job for 9 months (my at the time job sucked ass). Then moved back to Hungary and got 3 offers in 2 months with another 2-4 interviews with other companies lined up.

I have enough saved to live on for probably a year or more, but then what if I still can't find a job during that time? Then I'm fucked and have to move back in with my parents with no savings lol. Complete pain in the ass.

I did some research on other cities before I started applying for jobs. I'm only looking on the West Coast because the Midwest, Plains, and South suck; New England and the Southwest are alright but I wouldn't want to live in either. As far as the West Coast goes, San Diego is the same cost of living as Chicago, so that's where I've been looking primarily. Others I've considered are Portland (cheaper than Chicago, but I've been there and it's only ok imo) and Seattle (more expensive than Chicago and I haven't found anything worth applying to when I've looked at jobs there). Most of the other places on the West Coast that I'd be interested in moving to like the Bay Area are way too expensive.

I don't see a place being more expensive an issue if the salaries are linearly higher.

There's almost no reason to live in a city like San Francisco unless you're mega rich or your job can only be had there, though. Rent in SF is absolutely absurd; a one-bed apartment there can go for over $3000/month whereas you can get a nice apartment in a decent neighborhood for $1000/month here. Beautiful city and a nice climate, but not worth the cost for me.
