She said this manifested in the men she dated looking for serious relationships, having more settled careers, and putting more effort into their dates. The people she dated in Dallas seemed like they wanted to stay for a long time. Sipos said she found that many of the men she dated in LA were like her - they wanted to stay for a few years, start their career, and then move somewhere else. The men Sipos dated in Dallas were more settled "It really wasn't until probably two years in, where I was like, 'When does this end?' And then, it felt like there's a lot of people who don't ever want it to end for themselves," she said. These dates were fun, she said, but often didn't go anywhere after the third time meeting up.Įventually, the casualness got old and she found herself wanting something more long-term. The men Sipos dated in LA were always excited to go out and try new places and experiences, she said. Dating in LA was fast-paced, she said, and she often had weeks where she went on multiple different dates. She said she met men mainly through a mix of apps like Hinge and Bumble as well as out at bars. "Having the time until I really established my life to just date and try new places, and hop around the city, and kill two birds with one stone, so to speak, by seeing the city, meeting new people, and going on dates, it was really fun," she said.
When she first arrived at age 21, she enjoyed that energy as she dated in the city. Sipos said she's been drawn to LA's energy and excitement ever since she was a kid. Sipos said that while the casual, shorter-term dates she went on in LA were fun when she first moved to the city, the more serious dating scene in Dallas was fulfilling and better for making lasting connections.
She worked remotely in Dallas for just under a month to explore the city and meet new people. Sipos moved to Los Angeles after attending college at Georgia Tech and lived there for three years before the pandemic, she said. The 26-year-old marketing manager said that she found dating to be especially different between Los Angeles and Dallas. But there are still discrepancies in regional dating cultures, according to Ilinca Sipos, who took advantage of remote work the pandemic to live in cities across the US. While dating in LA was fun in her early 20s, she said she preferred Dallas for finding long-term connections.ĭating apps like Tinder and Hinge have made connecting with people in different places easier than ever. She said dating in LA was more casual and fast-paced than Dallas. Ilinca Sipos is a marketing manager who has lived and dated in both Los Angeles and Dallas.
