As a former resident of Santa Barbara, CA, I can highly recommend it as an excellent location for your needs. Beautiful city, beautiful climate, beautiful women. Last I knew, it was also a higher ratio of women to men, which certainly doesn't hurt.
Thanks. :) Instinct and observation are no substitute for education and application, though. Figured I've been lurking around here long enough with no real knowledge of acronyms and terminology. Perfect opportunity to dive in...might as well make the most of it.
