(West) Palm Beach vs Miami

South Florida monkeys, what are the main differences between the 2 and which one would you guys recommend as a young person in their 20s? Pros/cons of each?

From a social, lifestyle, dating, and business standpoint.

I'm a pretty normal guy, I like to work out, occasionally hit a bar (maybe club), love the beach vibes, but I'm not super trendy or into hypebeast culture (or whatever miami is). 

*assume all other things equal and employment not a factor
