-- Washington DC sucks
Pages (4): « 1 [2] 3 4 »

i have to disagree. some of my best friends i made in DC. and me and sky used to travel 4+ hours down there every week not so much because of the clubs, but because we loved everyone down there. and every week, our little circle of friends grew bigger. i think i have more friends in DC than i EVER had in PA. i think people are VERY friendly there for the most part. but like brian said, a lot of the people werent originally from DC, or just came to DC to party, like us. but still, i made a ton of friends who were from that area.

on a side note, JOSE: what in the HELL does your sig mean? i've been trying to figure it out all day. thanks.

Are you BUTT ugly?

Sorry not trying to be a smart ass....but um i have lived in VA which is like 15 minutes from DC ALL my life and i find it really easy to meet people. I am a girl of course BUT i have met a ton of really nice guys and girls when i go out to the clubs....so...you are either BUTT ugly OR u come off as a dick towards girls and that is why they pay you no mind......oh and we DO smile...i do it ALL the time

**edit**

DC sucks
NYC pwns the hell out of it.
I've lived here all my life, yes there are some pretty cool spots and things to do here on occasion, but mostly I am fucking bored of it, and the people here are mostly annoying over-politicized yuppie douchebags. That isn't to say all people here are bad, I've made some really great friends in this area. But for the most part, when you go out, the crowds are really lame and obnoxious.

Well what do you expect when you're a dinosaur living in a world full of humans?

i've travelled to DC numerous times throughout my life and .. had fun !

maybe i should head back .. haven't been there recently

DC/MD/Va is fun if you know where and when to go, just like NYC and other places

I think if you're looking to change your experience of a place you may want to start with your attitude. Posting a topic called "DC Sucks" isn't going to get you empathy or friends. It's going to make people defensive, and the people you offend aren't going to offer to help you see a change. I've started over twice in the last year and a half, and it's hard regardless of where you land. You think DC is repetitive, pretentious, and unkind?!? Try Boston! Like banging your head against a brick wall, but I left with some great friends because I worked my arse off to find them and make them my friends.

The problem with any new place is that people already have their lives in order. They're not likely going to make the extra effort to make certain that they include you in their plans. Being the new kid means hunting out spots where people share you interests, making yourself vulnerable, and exerting 90% of the effort until you find your groove/clique/whatever. It takes time, patience, and resilence. Truthfully, a good start would have been posting a topic; such as, "Seeking advice in DC". People are extremely helpful if you just ask (without attacking). I used Friendster when I first relocated to Boston, and the people I call friends can be traced back to those original circles.

If what you've been doing hasn't been working, try something else. But you really should open yourself up...because jaded isn't going to attract any quality friends. (Except the kind that sit around and bitch about other people as a hobby.) And I hope this doesn't sound condenscending because it's not meant to be. I've just been there, and have learned a few things.

Best of luck.

South Florida is not that bad with traffic, most consist of people from all around the country, so thats the reason, u want bad traffic, come to the biggest shithole in Florida, TAMPA, Oh my, people over here dont know what they are doing period, and no matter what day it is or what time, there is always traffic, no matter where u go, Shithole Central

In response To the "butt ugly" comment

I've had many different girls interested in me over time so I guess that doesn't make me "butt ugly" probably not a 9 on women's scale, but not too low either.

@Desteeny, a girl can have snap her fingers and have hordes of guys around her any second. For guys that look for girls, it takes a bit "longer", shall we say. Surely you understand that?

The reason I posted the topic was to see if it was "just me" or other people can also confirm this negative vibe in DC. And judging by the replies, many people agree, so I must be on to something.

beema's response was spot-on:

HardTranceProd, hahah!!! Yeah I'm laughing at you, and its because you got self induced problems. All you do is keep bitching and saying shit like "people agree with me" in the hopes of making yourself feel better about your atitude and situation. HAHAHAHA!

Do something real about your problems and...Get A Life.

I totally understand what you were trying to say as I've personally had to deal with quite a few pretentious dickheads in DC. However, there are some really good people out there as well, you just have to find them and get to know them which is hard because they probably already have circles of friends from wherever they came from. Many (or most) of people you meet in DC clubs don't actually live in DC but rather the surrounding area. But that's not to say that everyone is from the surrounding areas, because I've also met many people from all around the US and even the world in DC.

If you ever party at Nation you would understand that it's one huge melting pot - except that most people are there (more or less) to have fun with their friends, and not for the singles scene.

Originally posted by HardTranceProd I hate it when I'm in the middle of a conversation with someone (I'm in my late twenties), then when we order a drink in a restaurant, we have to show our IDs. How silly and childish is that (rarely, if ever, happened in NYC or LA to me). People here are sooo scared of alcohol.

Welcome to the East Coast. It sucks, but it's the law so they have to enforce it or they would be shut down. Instead of bitching about it here, you could be doing something more productive like writing your local congressman about an issue of actual importance.

I agree with fr0st on this one. DC traffic BLOWS!!! Avoid rush hour at all costs!

Originally posted by tabthe3 People in DC have always struck me as having the "what can you do for me" attitude, as has been mentioned before. I have tons of acquaintances, but few friends. The people seem to be ex-frat/sorority or eurotrash. When I am a bar I feel like I am in a frat basement or some snobby lounge where not having a table makes me inferior (at least in other ppl's eyes).

It sounds like you're also going to the wrong places. Surely you will have those experiences if you're attempting to immerse yourself in the "see and be seen" crowd, which (IMO) is for the most part a blind, socially engineered, mindless mass that is unable to see though their fog of glamorous greed. (no offense, Greedy)

wtf my parents aren't yuppies
they are hard working blue-collar folks
go shove your head up your ass

The crowd at nation is WEAK. It is full of has-been ravers still desperatley clutching onto the past, and stupid frat boys trying to score. I'd say maybe 10% of the people there are actually worthwile.

I think most of my dislike for DC comes from the fact that I have lived here my entire life and frankly, I'm just getting BORED of the same thing.

Well, to be honest... not everyone goes to clubs to sit there, stare at the dj, and say "hmmm... nice beats!"

yup DC is a town full of rich brats and business ppl. If you dont own a business or your parents dont work for the government, youre pretty much worthless. JUST KIDDING. But you know, that type of shit happens everywhere, just not to the same degree though. You can either let that get to you and ruin your night, or you can ignore it, mind your own business, and have fun.

Its a double edged sword. Some ppl think DC ppl are snobby and unfriendly. Other ppl see DC as ppl that mind their own business and dont bother you. Just because me and you are on the metro and i dont say hi doesnt mean im snobby.

get the drift?

can i agree with you?

not much for electronica in tampa. the big bad and hyped up amp in ybor city sucked ass. only when they have a big star there is it any good. then there's the not to well-known Underground. HUGE, but not a lot of people on friday night. nice musik, and u can do whatever u want. if u want to glowstick, go ahead, get fucked up, go ahead, break dance, go ahead, nobodies going to stop you.
