[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd have a backup exit plan.
I've lived in NYC since graduating college and while it can be exciting, it can also leave you cold.
Community will be hard here unless you want to stick with shallow friendships from work. I have a handful of people I could really call friends and two stretch back to grad school, the 3 others are mom friends made through my children's school.
If you are religious, you will find community thru your church or temple.

Outside of my mommy and school friend circle, here are the categories of working women I would present to you as templates -
-the middle aged are usually childless and past child-bearing age.  out of the dating pool due to age or married too late to have children.
-I see a lot of younger women at my office who are spinsters in the making - working long hours, living here in the city without meaningful connections, and not exactly earning enough to mix in the high income net worth crowd. 
-the ones with families are usually married to a high earlier or come from family money.  or they commute in from NJ, CT or Westchester and are married to a high earner. or they left the city entirely.[/quote]

OP is in her twenties. This is totally inaccurate. There is a huge pool of single twenty somethings who work in the city and live with multiple roommates. It’s a fun time of life, for a few years. Especially a few years after graduating college.

What PP described is more accurate for 30 something women. [/quote]
