DFW is my kind of place but probably not for all

Every time I've visited Dallas/Ft. Worth (mainly for work) I've been impressed. People are pretty straightforward and direct and there's not a lot of BS in the workplace which I like. People here work hard so it seems.
Dallas itself is HUGE. Did some biking using Lime app and it's surprisingly bike friendly with bike lanes and trails. Neighborhoods are diverse - went out with a buddy and we lyfted to different bars and it felt like I was in video game. Ft. Worth is like a whole separate city but the downtown area was pretty nice too.
Food here is great as well. You can have your country grit eating breakfast followed by Japanese BBQ for dinner. Really impressive restaurant and bar scene here. Breweries are cropping up everywhere.
Cons would include some very bad gridlock traffic. Not like Los Angeles but just massive slowdowns during rush hour. I haven't witnessed snobbery here too much but if there is a place for it that would be Uptown. It's a nice area but filled with snobs.
Weather here is pretty mild with cold streaks during the winter (40s and 50s in Jan/Feb) and it's already in the 70s by March. The summers are very hot - be near a body of water as much as you can.
For what it's worth, I've met several women who moved to and left DFW (they were from other parts of the country) because they hated it so much. Maybe women back stab each other more than men here? DFW is filled with hot women so IDK.
