Date: April 27th, 2013 12:24 PM Author: Dashing orchid goal in life there is nothing credited about living in northern virginia. you get all the shit of living in a major city, with none of the benefits. you have to deal with tons of extra traffic every time you go into dc (that will be the only direction you ever go), and NOVA is an empty, bland, cultureless shithole with nothing but freeways and government contractors. I understand that arlington is as close as it gets to living in dc without actually living there, but better to just save yourself the trouble and live on the other side of the river. if you aren't a 16 year old girl, you should be able to handle the "danger" of living in a big city and should be able to find cheaper rent within the city limits than in arlington.

these places are filled with the same lawyers and gov't types that populate all the other places in DC. the city lacks the low paid "creative class" artsy types that places like the mission, williamsburg, and other hipster areas have.
i don't think that an interest in non completely mainstream restaurants/bars is enough to qualify one as a hipster. |

Average DC Girl: Tries to act like she is too good for Arlington and won't date guys that live there.
So, well, advantage DC in this regard. I have had DC girls tell me they wouldn't date a dood living in Arlington. And a fun date is to take a naive girl from the suburb-iest parts of Arlington out on a date to a DC dive bar. |

If the girl likes beer, the Saloon near U Street.
I used OKC a lot and then meet a lot of girls at the cheesy fratty bars around dupont. Sign of the Whale late night is basically drunk girls looking for some. |

You can live in Courthouse/Clarendon or Alexandria, pay cheaper rent, live among other 20-30 year old college grads, save on taxes, and then take the metro THREE STOPS into DC for the "culture" of museums/restaurants/hipster bars. Or you can live marginally closer to the "culture" and live with all the homeless people and pay more in taxes for the pleasure of doing it. |
