I need a wingman in Brisbane the next 3 nights before bali

Just spent a week in Brisbane and here are my impressions:

PROs:

- fantastic looking city environment that is clean and well organized, river walk is just lovely

- weather can't be beat (less strong sun would be great)

- much cheaper than the rest of Australia

- tons of running and biking trails

CONs:

- this city has no social life to it - everyone seemed a little autistic (to me)

- there are no girls anywhere, I swear I saw only guys (and ugly chicks) for days until I got to the city beach which had plenty of (white) girls

- this city is 100% PC and the feminists have a field day - I saw a guy try to get onto the ferry with a Starbucks drink with a proper lid (guy was in a suit in his fifties), the ferry people just threw him off the boat

All in all I felt like in a beautiful prison - it's so pretty but everyone just itches to leave. People seemed bored to death (there really isn't anything to do besides work and outdoor sports) but have long given up to talk to anyone.

If you have something to do that keeps you very busy and have time to find a girlfriend (think months) this city is cool; but otherwise it is just weird.

If you are a man of color you may enjoy it more than I did.

What city are you from?
