You must've lived there at the height of the oil boom at those prices. There's no way it's that high now.

Yeah, there are hot chicks that come from Midland, but none of them stay. It is a boobless ghost town for any single man.

It is like Monroe. Any good looking person that stays there is married before 24.

I really also need to point this out as well if you are a single man: There are no hot single women there in their 20s. Zero, zip, nadda, none. Any girl you check out you immediately realize is underage, which makes it all the more depressing. Even at their Twin Peaks (in Odessa) I didn't find many of them attractive. The only time those ladies come back to Midland is when they've got a husband in tow who is making bank. In the meantime they live in Houston, DFW, or Austin, and they're no longer single.



This is why the life of a landman is so shitty. It is basically a requirement to be single and uou go to bumfrick Eygpt with no women.

I was banging a cutie from carlsbad nm for 2 months. She was a Chemist to boot.

She was an OT 6.3. Slim, decent face and perfect arse. Most are fat out this way. 14 days feels like a year sometimes

Trump has nothing to do with Midland... it's running on the just being the best place for previous and existing O&G economics.

Unless you are going to be stacking oilfield cash or you married in to money there is no reason to live there.


This is pretty good advice.

My wife is from Midland and from my POV for being what it is there is an insane amount of well connected people there. I’ve met quite a few professional athletes, actors, and politicians (national and international) just through her small group of friends from high school.

The amount of attractive professional women in the Starbucks in the Doubletree in downtown Midland every morning will blow your mind. But you quickly realize that the ones that live there are married and the single women are saleswomen making their routes. That is a very sobering reality.

The best bar IMHO is The Hemingway and you will see some attractive single women. Almost all of them are recent college grads from TTU or TAMU working at their first job in the PB.

The patio at Cork and Pig is a pretty cool hangout spot but it is overrun with oilfield baws after 5

The places like Hooters and Twin Peaks are laughable. Trashy tatted up chicks with oilfield hands begging for their attention.

It's actually rolling because it's cheaper to get it out of the ground than the Eagle Ford, that area is the armpit of Texas and anyone that would move there full time needs to have their head examined.

Depends what you mean by "live"?

Are there people there that are breathing? Sure.

Are those people actually "living"? It's Midland, so the answer is no. They are just existing.

ETA: Damnit! Tigris beat me to it.

Hence, being the best place for O&G economics... you just clarified what I said.
I'm correcting the idiot who said it's rolling because of Trump.
