i am currently a medical resident in pittsburgh. majority of my colleagues are not from pittsburgh. the general consensus is that pittsburgh is a place thats provides good medical training, and is also good for college kids/families, but not so much for yuppies. if you are married or in a serious relationship, its fine. but for out of town singles looking to meet other people, pittsburgh sucks. there is there is also a lack of diversity, both in demographics and thought.
i specifically chose to spend 1 year in pittsburgh because my family is here and i spend my time visiting my SO, so its been fine. but i feel bad for these young doctors who moved to pittsburgh from all over the world/country to get great training at upmc, whose dating options consist of either other physicians or some yinzer who only cares about beer and football.
an example. i have an attractive friend who recently moved to pittsburgh, just graduated from harvard law, very down to earth. she's having a terrible time meeting legit guys. i am trying to set her up with some guys, but there just isnt a big pool to draw from.
also worth noting that i recently graduated from med school (not in pittsburgh) and no one wanted to go to pittsburgh for training. the only 2 people that did were from here. its not because of the training, because that aspect of pittsburgh is great. its because its a bad city for yuppies.
