Anyone in Austin?

So I miss the northeast. I miss it a lot. I mainly just miss the huge posse I had, all of whom were always down to go bottoms up.

Anyone in Austin interested in shooting the shit sometime? Do Austin monkeys even exist on WSO?!?

I'm in the NE and miss TX. Want to trade places?

Home, the gorgeous hill country, the people, music, food, outdoors, and of course:

Honestly? If "good" means a 6, then yes. If "good" means an 8/9, then fuck no.

Are you spending all of your free time in the walmart clothing section?

There are only a few negatives I can think of living here in Austin:

-largest city/metro in US with no pro sports team -homeless people at every intersection -not a huge financial hub

Otherwise, everything else seems to be perfect

 

Austinite here.

Definitely lots of talent in Austin. If you can't find attractive females in this city then you're going to the wrong bars. Ya there's lots of homeless and hipsters but once you make the comparison to New York it's really not even an issue. The whole no pro sports team is partially negated by Longhorn football. Although I do miss going to baseball games.

Listen, here's the thing. If you can't spot the sucker in the first half hour at the table, then you are the sucker.

Did a girl from Boston (city with possibly the ugliest girls in America) comment on the attractiveness of Texas girls?? Wow, first for everything.

Actually from Austin myself, born and raised, did the whole beauty pageant thing with all the other pampered young ladies. College'd in Boston. No way Boston girls are hot, but there are plenty of places with hotter women than Austin. The sorority chicks from UT I can see, but anyone who is of proper working age isn't the kind of person I'd want to bang.
DickFuldYou're doing it wrong. Austin is phenomenal and I would kill to be there.
Tell where I should be going then, since I'm very clearly not hitting up the right places around town :/

Depends. Are you into men or women? I think you should be able to do well on fourth street (depending on your age and regardless of your preference). Also, house parties are great, but do you know enough people?

I would also need to ask a friend who lives there as I don't know Austin as well as I should.

Is it Austin, or the lack of a good posse like you indicated in your first post? I take it you're over the friends you grew up with then?
