Oh Pry,
Once you start really enjoying the big city life and see all of the beautiful, single women it brings to you, it just comes down to preference at that point.
From what I've heard about NYC, you're going to get a lot of intelligent, ambitious women there. You'll also get a lot of European women (as you've pointed out). Overall, I've heard NYC is a great place to date attractive, ambitious women.
However, I personally love San Diego because it seems like "beach bodies" and "fitness" are huge on the West Coast. Los Angeles (at least the nice parts) also has a similar vibe. Women are very appearance-focused over here, so you get to see some of the best bodies that you'd otherwise only find in magazines, TV, and on Instagram. I like surrounding myself with plenty of visual beauty -- it does wonders for your abundance mentality.
That being said, overall, women in San Diego are less ambitious than women in NYC. They are usually more laid back and focused on enjoying themselves rather than furthering their careers or business pursuits. That's not to say that every girl in San Diego is this way, but it's a lot more common here on average when compared to a place like NYC (or Washington D.C.).
Depending on your tastes, you might want an ambitious girlfriend who's intelligent and can offer you some intellectual stimulation on a regular basis. NYC will offer more of that. For me, I just like dating girls who are fun-loving and carefree; I have enough intellectual stimulation from my job, friends, and co-workers. Even if a girl is intelligent (and note that "intelligence" is different from "socially savvy" -- most of the girls I date are very socially savvy but not necessarily "book smart"), she probably won't be able to grasp the fine details of the engineering I do anyway (unless she's specifically a computer science major/engineer like myself). So in that regard, I just want a girl who takes me away from the daily grind of my job's mental pressure and provides a very fun-loving and easy-going personality that helps me relax and smile.
Other places that I either know are good from personal experience or have heard are good from reliable sources: Miami, Austin, Los Angeles.
