No, Denver is not inherently a bad place. It is very middle American in many ways. It is very close to the mountains. It is rather caucasian. You will probably have an easier time here if you are a "pretty person" in a rather conventional/suburbanite way than you might in many other places. Relative to Manhattan or Atlanta? Maybe not. But probably relative to most other places. Manhattan has a lot more exposure to international tastes, for example. If you drive out of downtown Denver, prepare to be impressed with how relatively suburban it is. It just seems to me that Denver and places like it might want to be careful with their orientation to growth while on the way to being a world class place, or another sprawling homogeneous consumptive machine that the rest of the world finds disgusting "but near the mountains", but bankers with the means to get the heck out and into the mountains with buddies much like them like.
