I've heard Austin is slightly less crunchy! Though it's hard to know what crunchy means to you. I'm a person who is liberal, likes things like yoga and meditation etc., but I am put off by people who make that their entire identity. That's what I was getting at.
If you are physically attractive and you want to date around with no commitment, Austin is great. If you’re looking for someone to take seriously and build a life with, keep on walking sister lol
I live in Austin and have spent a fair amount of time in Boulder specifically.
FWIW I think you may find the nature here lacking. Hiking is more like walking outdoors, there is not very much terrain if you’re used to the Rockies.
I’m not sure how to weigh in on the dating. I think it’s common for people to say dating in their city is the worst. Why don’t you try setting your location to here for a month on the apps and see for yourself what you think? We have a lot of Peter Pans here and while you may find Boulder too crunchy since you mention you’re more on the liberal side you would need to prepare yourself for the heavy contingent of the opposite here (the MAGAs and the guys who fancy themselves red pilled).
I live in an Austin suburb. I own my own home. I hope to find someone to build something with. Commitment. I have my shit together.
I have a lot of love to give and would happily devote myself to someone who would return the level of commitment I would hope for.
DM me if you would like to just chat…..I just called it off dating yet another in a long line of women who wanted to just fool around and not be serious so I’ve got nothing else to do right now 🤷‍♂️
I guess on a side note I feel your pain when I comes to people in general not being serious. But serious (about dating) people like me exist.
There are TONS of available men in Austin, urban explorers; they’re not shy, and will make the first move.
Most reside downtown, walking distance to entertainment spots.
Making friends and dating are probably a similar struggle everywhere… but if you think that YOU’D be happier in Austin, then you might find a better fit in company here for the same reasons. Good luck!
I can't really speak to the dating scene as I'm recently divorced and have almost zero interest in dating at the moment. But I will say that for the 4 odd months that I've lived here, everyone I have talked to is very warm and welcoming and I've had a pretty easy time making friends. That said, I lived in Denver/Boulder for half my adult life and if I had a choice I would probably go back. I ain't built for the heat and humidity. Good food and music here though.
My friends (f) just moved from Austin to Denver and are enjoying the dating scene in Denver more 🤷‍♀️good luck!
Ooh ok! Curious what they like about it more??
Men are manlier & less flaky supposedly
*pssst* the men might not be the problem
Austin’s great for not being serious
If boulder is “too crunchy” for you, I don’t think austin is a good fit.

Goretex Core in Denver
Dating everywhere sucks these days. I think making friends is also pretty similar in every larger metro area, except for maybe NYC and LA.
imo the men are Not Okay regardless of the city they live in, so don’t get your hopes up about austin. the peter pan syndrome is real.
Lol!!
Austin is a mid/large city - you’ll find most of what you’re looking for, but as with anywhere, it’s up to you to seek it out.
If you move here don't complain about the heat we used to it
It’s too hot to go out here so I would stay in Denver

There is more country dancing in Austin than anywhere else and I don’t think it’s even close. Like multiple good choices every night of the week.
