I was born and raised in nyc for 17 years then left to China, New Zealand, Australia, LATAM, SEA, Texas, Colorado, Montana, Providence, North Carolina, and most recently Seattle for 2 years before coming back to NYC.
I've been back since April 6th, and I'm so miserable. It's incredibly dirty. I got a cold right away and constant pimple break outs. I spent $50 a day. Everyone is rude and self centered. People have no courtesy and niceties are nonexistent. There is no nature to escape to in the city and renting a car for the day is very expensive in comparison to other cities. Dating is terrible. I'm attractive, have personality, and work for myself as an artist. I downloaded the big 3 and paid to see my likes to match faster with people and in three weeks I haven't been on a single date. Every single guy wants to hookup. Every single guy comments on my looks saying I'm sexy or compliments my butt. Any good option ghosts after a few messages, deletes his account, or stops replying when I suggest going on a walking date. I made friends through the artist community and it seems they're either broke or all they do is spend money shopping, partying, dining out. I hate it here and I'm miserable. But I'm able to sustain myself as an artist which I couldn't do in Seattle.
I'm not sure what to do. I want to be in a relationship but I doubt I can find that in nyc and I just hate the quality of life. I'm not sure where to go. I'm living in a hotel. I considered LA, SF and getting a job or staying in nyc then traveling a lot. I can't beleive I'm from here.
I'm really into health, fitness, saving money, traveling, work hard-play hard. And i only date outdoorsy nerds. I'm not sure what to do?
