The three types of people that move to New York...

[*L*E*G*A*C*Y*]

I was talking with my roommate's GF who lived in Jersey for 16 years about living in New York city and she basically summed up the two types of people that move to New York.

1. The dudes from Jersey and other places that have visions of the city from rap videos who want to wear Louis Vuitton and Gucci and pop bottles at the club (that New York is slowly disappearing sadly)

2. The extrovert type from small town/rural/suburban America who didn't really have any friends, that were outcasts and considered weird that have meaningless degrees (something in art, theatre, music, or fashion) that want to attract attention to themselves by moving to New York and becoming an "artist" (on mommy and daddy's dime) in hopes that it will make them seem interesting and appealing.

With that said...there's a third type I've thought too...

3. Women from wherever that live on shows like Sex in The City,The New Girl, Girls, and Two Broke Girls that are "slumming it" in BK while they do an unpaid internship for a fashion magazine that's about to go out of business hoping to find that "Mr. Big" that's loaded who will take care of them...

There are other types.
4. Dude who gets an awesome job offer and pay from a Wall Street firm because he got an MBA from a prestigious school. No experience and caking because of the old-boy network.

5. People with Broadway pipe dreams. Some make it. Most don't.

6. Foreign immigrants who think NYC is the place to be because it is so huge and there is a community with fellow immigrants.

There are a lot of types. Thats prob NYC's best quality. You can't sum up NYers in 1 type

 

[Ninjaz In Paris]

Denver is beautiful...

 

[Steve Piffler]

there is no reason to move to NY....

 

[Remote]

This is a ridiculous list.
And #2 just described nearly the complete opposite of what an extrovert is.

[Poh SIti Dawn]

Would never want to move to NY, but I think that's because I'm from Portland and our city>NYC

 

[King Poetic]

sound like people who move to L.A.

coming here thinking everything will be stars and hollywood parties but end up turnt out, smoked out, pimped out, smutted out and then they move from cali because there name is spread around the state and they move back to middle america and find some coli simp to married them and have kids not knowing every nikka and white dude in cali had her licking up shyt off the floor..

dudes usually come out here and try to get some type of bullshyt music going but the natives here throw it in the trash

#2 is on point. You basically described every hipster in Williamsburg and LES. I can't agree with #1. New York is a PATH train away I don't think anybody dudes in Jersey is off moving to New York like that. Ya'll are like 20-30 mins. away why would we wanna move there? Maybe those guidos in South Jersey but def not anybody in North Jersey.

Ya'll keep trying to convince yourself that you would rather live in your podunk towns....
