Is Dallas a good place to live for singles in their 30s?

I live in Washington, DC and am hoping to relocate to a less expensive city with a warmer climate and a strong job market.

1. Dallas is a poor place to be single at any age. Houston is good and Austin is better, IMHO.
2. www.cheaters.com - Apparently, there is a healthy dose of single activity in Dallas, TX. Honestly...Texas has super attractive women...there are lots of Ds in Big D.
3. I own a book titled "30 Great Cities to Start Out In...The Best Places to Live in your 20S and 30S" by Sandra Gurvis. Dallas is not listed. The top 30 are (alphabetically) Albuquerque, New Mexico, Atlanta, Georgia, Boston, Massachusetts, Charleston, South Carolina, Charlotte, North Carolina, Chicago, Illinois, Cleveland Ohio, Denver Colorado, Houston, Texas, Kansas City, Missouri, L.A. California, Louisville, Kentucky, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Minneapolis/St Paul, Minnesota, Nashville, Tennessee, New Orleans, Louisiana (note this book was published in 1997, this has probably changed), New York, NY, Orlando, Florida, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Phoenix, Arizona, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Portland, Oregon, Salt Lake City, Utah, San Antonio, Texas, San Diego, California, San Francisco, California, Seattle, Washington, Toronto Ontario (Canada), Vancouver, B.C. (Canada), Washinton D.C. In U.S. Louisville had the best cost of living ranking, Charlotte had the cheapest apartment rent
4. Dallas is a great place to live at any age, I've been here 8 years and am now 30
5. 30's yes. Lots of things to do. There are better places, but if you're in your 20's it's probably better here.
6. I have family in the DC area (Manassas) and I live in Dallas, so I can relate... as someone said - Austin is a better choice, but Dallas isn't so bad and depending on what your business is - we do have a decent market for employment...
7. Even though I'm currently living in Alabama, I loved Dallas while I was there, made alot great advances in my life while in my twenty's in Dallas, It's a Great place to live, and I'd move back, if not for my strong connection to my family.
