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**

Come out and party with our crew once and i am SURE you will change your mind

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.

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.
