\i'm curious to know if this isn't my own fault (i.e. i don't get out enough to meet people) or if it's a social problem among young people in general, or if divine timing just isn't working that way, as the universe wants me sequestered for some reason. maybe isolation is part of an overall ego-dismantling process? i'm also wondering if anyone else is feeling that way, asking themselves, "i'm smart and attractive. where is everyone?" where have your paths taken you in terms of meeting people?

well... i don't think it is your fault for sure. but i think you are a very affluent guy who needs to live in a place that is as affluent as you. meaning having the same level of sophistication. in my experiences traveling i find that different areas have big differences in the levels of depth of people that live there.

and there are parts of europe that are just as thick skulled as here so don't buy into this bit that europeans are smarter than americans.

such as i found every city has its own personality and you need to find the one that matches you. i have lived in san fran, philly, pittsburgh, dc, baltimore, new york, fort lauderdale, plus other travels through america and europe.

and each one of these places on earth has its own character and personality just like ppl do.

so i say travel and find where you feel like it works for you.

new york has been so fascinating for me to meet the most interesting people i have ever met. but at the same time is is a challenging city to live in.

and a side note... i found that sf and ny are like opposites. both of them are awesome but could not be more different. ny is like the agressive male and sf is like the gentle female.

so that is my two cents.
