What's laguna beach and laguna hills like?

What would be considered a decent salary to live up there ?

Laguna Beach is nice. Lots of hotties there (and everywhere in OC, actually). Lots of gays in Laguna though, it is one of the more liberal cities for sure. Apartments in Laguna Hills/Beach are at the lowest 2k.

[OregonToSoCal]

I've lived in OC for 7 years now. Mission Viejo is the furthest south I've lived and Tustin the furthest north. Most of my years have been in Irvine. What everyone has said thus far has been very accurate. Here are some points from my own unique experience:

* OC is ground zero if you love Asian women. Irvine, Garden Grove, Westminster and Costa Mesa have the biggest concentrations. I've always been physically attracted to Asian women and have seemed to carve out a niche for myself with Vietnamese women. Not sure how, but they seem to gravitate towards me and I them.

* If you come from a simple "salt of the earth" area of the country OC will leave you feeling fatigued and empty at times. If you do any online dating, regardless of which one, you will see endless photos of women in their little black dresses, on couches in upscale lounges and clubs, bragging about how they "love to travel" and many will list their international travel resumes on their profiles. There will also be an abundance of photos taken on corporate jets, yachts, luxury sedans (Bentley's, Maseratis, etc.).

* I don't do night game but Newport Beach, Laguna Beach and Costa Mesa are where it's at if you do. @PapayaTapper lives in Newport I believe and can chime in here.

* Irvine is a nice, impeccably clean, Stepford Wives type of town that's centrally located in OC. The Irvine Company has a monopoly on nearly all of the apartment communities and shopping centers in Irvine. Being in my 40s and not into the night game scene I enjoy Irvine as it's relatively quiet, clean and fairly diverse.

* If you choose to live in Irvine and can swing the high rent, check out the following apartment communities: The Village, The Park and Centerpointe. All three are within a block of each other and sit across the street from the Irvine Spectrum shopping center. It's a huge outdoor mall that is constantly expanding and has a large assortment of restaurant/bars and is really good for running first date game. About three years ago I lived at the village and was just learning game and attempting to run the first date bang recipe and I cleaned up there. The logistics are A++++++ as you can walk across the street to meet your date, have endless options for where to go and when you bring her back to your place have her drive you back Every single woman I brought back LOVED where I lived. I could almost lipsync along when they, on cue recited "OMG It's like a resort here".

I also met a number of women when out solo at the mall. Weeknights are great for catching late night happy hours and I never had to worry about drinking and driving as home was a quick stagger across the street.

Long story short, if you're an above average looking white guy, on the taller side with good style, fitness and income you can KILL IT in OC, especially with the Asian women.

DTF is pretty cool, tons of college age chicks, many live locally.

CSUFand FJC are commuter schools, so it doesn't have much of a "college town" feel like ASU or USC.

It's a fun scene, but don't even think about drinking and driving, plenty of DUI's handed out around there.

I loved going to DTF when I was younger, I go there ever so often nowadays.

It isn't hard to hangout in DTF if you aren't in CSUF or FJC.

Fuck... im pissed I didn't ever make it up there. I actually barely touch alc when I go out so that would have been perfect. I actually met a STUNNER on the beach on the peninsula and I tossed my football to her and she even invited me to play catch, then of course she had a no homo good looking CSUF boyfriend that ran up with a half off wet suit on. You can imagine. She really was bad. I would just wonder around when I didnt have work and would see some bad bad bad ass girls... mostly they looked wifed up. I had some adventures out there (fucking on the beach outside my apt) and seeing a unreal girl (whatever face) but just unreal unreal body (ass) buying tons of weed at the dispensary.. with all the workers just speechless. Never even got a chance to say a word to her.. with those areas so spread out (this was inland b/c they banned all the weed stores closer to the ocean for some dumbass reason) <was such a pain in the ass> if you don't go for it, its a lonley ride home in the car a lone.

What do you think about night game in Huntington? I went out there maybe a few times and didn't like it too much. Seal Beach probably has too few options, since it's a really small town compared to Huntington and Newport. Belmont Shore has the worst ratios I have ever seen in my life and can be difficult if you are above college age.

Apologies to you- Newport Beach peninsula which is pretty much the biggest concentration of nightlife on the coast. I think my house was at like one of the street numbers. I forget the exact address already but the peninsula is pretty tiny.

Huntington was always a pain in the ass for me personally- yes I would always get IOIs but girls usually had "boyfreinds" or "i dont give out my number in a bar" even after having a great intimate dance with them or hitting it off well and humanely. Granted, the same things happend in Newport as well. People are dumb as fucking rocks a bit more-so in huntington also, I love the working class aspect but god damn people were dumb as fuck lol. At least the newport people act a little more upper class... how can you be so dumb when your so close to the gorgeous ocean? god the parking also, dont even get my started... obviously take an uber as its huge there. Cant beat that damn weather tho.. and weed. and eye candy women. I lost more pussy out there than I gained but I didnt go hungry but it sure felt like it mostly. Ive also never paid for so many drinks in a city damnit. Girls will not even give you a chance if you dont "grab drinks" with them and of course pay and some of these even hidden places get pricey but I was a cheap fuck so who knows.

HB is more of sausage fest then newps, it's more of a brofest also.

They call it "The IE by the sea" - IE is Inland Empire - tons of transplants for that region in Riverside moved to HB.

By bros I mean tatted up, dickie wearing, lifted truck driving dudes who always start fights or roll in clicks.

I can personally attest to that. I've lived in Murrieta in the IE and the bros in HB look exactly like what you'll find in the IE. Even though they're only a few miles apart Newport and HB couldn't be more opposite in terms of demographics.

[Rhyme or Reason]

^ Remember 2014 US Open in HB? The IE bro's went full Rodney King Riots (whiteboy version) and started looting the bike & surf shops.

HB is one of the filters that surrounds Newps. It collects 909 and 951 area codes

But then there's a very upscale component to HB as well though

If you're a younger cat who's a pro skater/surfer/boarder or rockabilly tatted type then HB is fertile.

Belmont Shores has gone very hipster and has a very large LGBT community...you might hit on some tourist outliers but it's pretty hit or miss

Yeah I was there day drinking and took a photo used to hunt down one of the guys that stole a bike from Easy Rider.

Bunch of fucking kids, turns out most of them were from LBC and one of rioters arrested was a local.

They had the first and only rave on the beach there "Wet Electric" which got it's alcohol license pulled last minute.

Yeah HB does it's the buffer from the nice upscale areas like Newps, Laguna, etc.

I agree there are nice places in HB, I was constantly hanging out at Main when I was you younger, I just hate the vibe there now, I'd rather cruise down to Newport. Shame, I had a girl I banged who I could stay the night out with out there in Back Bay, but she turned into a cunt.

[Rhyme or Reason]

Main street in HB is a nice spot to hit on the weekends. Whore-icanes (hurricanes) has lots of MILFs.

You know the difference between a pussy and a cunt?

A pussy is that thing between a woman's legs.

A cunt is everything else that surrounds the pussy

There was a decent sized punk scene in the 70s and 80s in Costa Mesa, a city in Ornage County, and now, you'll find the most far left hipster girls in that area. Similar to Malibu girls in that respect.

There's still a scene - mostly revolves around Tiki bar and The Observatory (formerly known as the Galaxy).

Observatory is bigger, holds way more people and bigger headliners. Upside is they also have festivals, reggae fest, indie fest, and some other stuff.

There was Detroit Bar but that closed down, shame, they had some good music there.

I agree with the hipsters, they're trying to be the new punks.

But man, plenty of cuties roaming around.

[Rhyme or Reason]

^ Yeah my old band played at Detroit a few times back in 2011-12. Haven't been back since it's changed to the Wayfarer. Also Avalon bar which was across the street was a really fun place to rock out at. Too bad its gone...

A lot of what everyone is saying is about accurate. The girls aren't too bad but basic. The weather is good of course. Cost of living is terrible. You need to have a good paying job otherwise you might have to live in riverside and commute out to Orange county. If you're looking to buy a home you can expect to pay as much as $1,000,000 (see Baker Ranch in Lake Forest). You will also run into a lot of people who like to flaunt their wealth.

The only real complaint about OC nightlife is the logistics. You will have pockets of decent places to go. Down Town Fullerton is my favorite spot.

Politically speaking I wouldn't count on the place staying conservative much longer. There is this tendency for milienials in the area to be liberal for the sake of pissing off their parents. In addition the county's board of supervisors are kind of corrupt and few people pay attention to local politics. The sheriff is a liberal woman has mismanaged the department.

That's fairly negative assessment in my opinion but he'll I would consider going back if I had a good work opportunity. People may be rude at times but they aren't very confrontational.

Could you elaborate on your experience with DT fullerton? I lived on the penninsula for like 2 years but in the end I just couldnt find a gf. Plenty of lays with the dumbest girls I think ive ever met. Basically just anger fucking them each time to punish them for playing into the materialism culture out there. I never made it to fullerton even tho I was meaning to and it seemed like there was college hotties there, but that can of course be hard in above itself if you arnt enrolled at CSF

Honestly I never felt like I went there enough. For me the thing I liked about it was variety. There were so many bars you could go to and all of the girls were college age. Little to no land whales. If one place had a cover the was always a better place that didn't. And with everything in Orange County Logistics make it a pain in the ass especially considering I lived out in the Rancho-Mission Viejo area.

[Drazen]

My buddy lived in those SoCo lofts right under the bridge, about a block from the DTF area. Super overpriced, but if you could live there that would be really awesome. Prices took a major hit I think from when they were first on sale, but logistics were out of this world and the lofts were great, rooftop patios, elevators, etc.

At times, I'd get sick of going to the same spots though, Fullerton is still in the middle of nowhere.
