Reply to comment by letsgouda in As a single 30-year-old man, should I move to the Manchester area? Looking for social/cultural advice. by [deleted]

Interesting. You may like Portland. I don't live in the city proper, I'm a couple towns away. To me, it's a city where it only takes a day to see all the good sights. After that, if you don't build up a social network or have a romantic partner, it gets old really fast. If you are more left-leaning, you will definitely fit in more in Portland than I do.

Southern/central New Hampshire attracts me because the cities seem a bit cleaner, and they are closer to mountainous areas. I love hiking and did a lot of it when I was in the Monadnock region.

I don't feel like Manchester is very clean or nice but its reputation is rather over the top in that direction. But the area in general I really like! I live more on the seacoast and it's really nice. But I feel like I'm too far away from mountains/good hiking here. I think a place is mostly what you make of it, but there's no harm in gameifying it a little bit- putting yourself in a location that has more like minded people or a bigger dating pool. I came here partnered and was looking forward to living in a more quiet, small town way. But now that I'm single, I would rather live in a place with a bigger dating pool and more social activities. Best of luck to you!
