Long-term impacts of COVID-19 on dating, interesting post.

Cannot say I agree with all of it and some of it is wishful thinking here.

Long-term impact of COVID-19 on dating

While I have speak of COVID-19 on recent posts such as here and here, this post is a lot more future oriented. As we might see lockdowns being lifted, the fact of the matter is that COVID-19 is suc…

What did stick with me is the traffic moving from big cities to smaller towns or other places. I have friends who live in NYC who want to get out and say that the city is largely empty right now. What I get here is that it seems like maybe with people moving away from big cities, will the best cities to run game in always be the big cities still or will the right crowds move to certain towns now?

Cities like an NYC seemed to be the place to be after school because women who were past school, not wanting kids, and wanting to mess around flooded to the city for its nightlife and morally loose lifestyle. In a smaller city or town, these women would be stuck with stricter social judgment pressuring them into having kids and getting married by 30 but in major cities they could escape that and extend their lifestyle. It was a god send for guys like us who want women that are looking to fuck and not ask for commitment since a lot of us want to just get laid.

Big cities offered this to us and were the places to be. I wonder if due to COVID and with the rise of remote work, does this demographic move to beach towns, mountain towns and do new types of towns emerge for the remote work bachelors and bachelorettes who want to delay settling down and just work hard as they play hard?

I don't know, interesting thing to think about though.

I've heard that for places like Los Angeles or California, some wealthy people are starting to consider moving out. Because of the restrictions and the expected heavy taxation after exhaustion of government resources.

You see this with retirees leaving NYC and going to Florida. The taxation is too much for them. I think the lockdowns could have the same effect and push migration to areas with less population density.

But these are people that can afford to move out. I don't see lower classes as able to move.

I think the appeal of the cities will still stay for people in it. Especially young people since the virus isn't as big a threat.

I think you would need several more months of lockdown in cities vs less dense areas before you see significant migration away from cities. But as long as people think it's temporary, they'll wait it out.

Some non-city places in the US are also still partially locked down so it may not be worth the move anyway.

I thought similar to that article... But you never know what is going to happen, for example casinos and restaurants are packed... As time goes on people will become desensitized (less scare). For example i was super paranoid as time when on, i said fuck this, and i am now more "normal" still wear mask etc.. but a bit less paranoid...

Clubs is a tough one due to the drinking and people on top of each other.... But people are desperate to have fun and out of the house arrest... Lets see what happens...

P.S. Women higher risk takers with emotions than men...

Well things are not looking to encouraging for America's biggest city:

As the wealthy flee New York, poorest will be most affected

The outflow of upper class residents means fewer taxes collected to fund the government.

The rich have fled New York City. I’m sick of being told that I need to stay, because I want to escape too.

People with second homes and with funds to spare left NYC when the coronavirus hit. Those who couldn't afford to go are being lectured to stay put.

I disagree with this. People who have made their money will flee the big cities for warm winter tax havens. Nothing new in that. Florida has no income tax, inheritance tax, and no tax on investment income specifically to attract old rich people. But big cities are where it is at if you want to get rich. The NYC metro area would be the 8th richest country in the world by GDP, ($2Trillion USD) ahead of Italy and behind France and per capita has a GDP of $100,000, which is only topped by the countries of Monaco, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, and Bermuda, which are all tax havens for the super rich. New Yorkers earn their money. I am too lazy to look it up, but I bet other super metropolises in prosperous countries are equally rich, I'm thinking London, LA, Miami, Houston, Tokyo, Seoul, Paris, Berlin and no offense intended to others I forgot to include. The 25 largest cities likely produce half the planet's wealth. That is why people put up with the hassles of big city life.

These rivers of money are always going to attract the best and the brightest. They will also attract the prettiest women looking for rich guys to marry.

The virus panic will pass and life will return to normal. The Spansh Flu, which originated in Kansas, but killed so many in Spain, was a distant memory two years after it was over. Save your last mask & gloves and frame them as a memento of this crisis. One thing will change. The people who lived through 1917 & 18 were fanatics about hand washing and hygiene. They were my parents and grandparents, and drilled us kids on hand washing and sanitary procedures. We have really slacked off on basic disease control procedures in the last few decades. That will be the biggest change from this by 2022.

The Spanish Flu happened before the age of the internet and before technology had taken off in the way it did. Back then, you needed to physically be at an office in order to get work done. In these days, you can do a lot of jobs remote from your computer and a lot of companies, especially in software, are switching to that model because it saves money for office space and time for workers on commute. I don't see why most people will choose to live in places with cleaner air and especially lower cost of living instead now given that they can do their work from there.

As for big cities attracting the talent, I think that was true because of industries like banking and high finance having offices there but those careers do not carry the prestige they once did.

As of right now, NYC is emptying out fast. Tons of NYers are actually moving to Florida, this includes the young people from the city. COVID is going to significantly hamper NYC nightlife and no one wants to pay those high taxes and deal with the COL, not to mention a homeless pop that gets more intrusive every year, if the fun factor of the city is gone.

In regards to work, even Investment Banks and the high finance industries are becoming advocates for remote work. Back in 1917, the internet was not around, it is now. Companies are finding that they can hire remote talent, at times at a lower cost, to do a good deal of work. My friends are going to be working remote until the end of 2020 and these are the largest tech companies on the planet as well as prestigious financial institutions.

It is worth another thread to discuss how this will impact the dating aspect of it. I mean San Fran is arguably better than NYC for most people to build a career due to the rise in technology and the jobs it provides but the dating culture is among the worst in the country, women there are hideous.

I think the rise in remote work might refuel small towns and empty out the cities.
