Hi Teena. What part of Florida do you live in? I currently live in Dallas, but I've also lived in Tampa and Atlanta. Here's my take.

I didn't like Florida. Period. If you're the same way, you may like Atlanta. Florida and ATL are 2 different worlds.

I lived in Atlanta for a year. I was transferred there for my job. I already knew some people there and thru them I met others. ATL was ok. But thats it.....ok. I wouldn't discourage someone from moving there, but I wouldn't really encourage someone either. The shopping is great. I agree with the previous posters about the men.....plenty of eye-candy but so many of them are gay or taken. What you've heard about the lop-sided male to female ratio is very true. The traffic is terrible - I recommend working and living in the same area. The Marietta and Alpharetta areas are nice places to live.

Dallas and ATL are comparable in size and things to do. I can't figure out why, but I like Dallas much much more. We have traffic here, but it isn't a parking lot like GA 400 always seemed to be. And Dallas has more of a Southern feel to me than ATL.

I feel like I'm rambling. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

Good Luck!!
