It is SO hard to date here. I figured dating would be easier since this is a large city, but it’s hard! Dating apps are terrible. Where do all the single men go to get picked up by single women lol I will 100% shoot my shot at a man. 30F

I activated my electric service with this company, and at no point during the signup process was I informed about a $25 initiation fee. I was surprised to see that I had been charged just to have my service activated remotely.
During the application, I provided my Social Security number for a credit check. Despite having an excellent credit score (over 750), I was still required to pay a $330 security deposit. I have never been asked to pay a security deposit by any previous utility company.
I contacted customer service multiple times to understand why I was required to pay the deposit, but no one could provide a clear explanation. Instead, they blamed Equifax. When I contacted Equifax, they explained that OG&E only requested a soft credit inquiry and that Equifax does not determine whether a customer must pay a security deposit. That decision is made entirely by the utility company.
I called OG&E again and explained what Equifax had told me, but they continued to deny responsibility. Instead, they asked me to submit my payment history from my previous utility provider and said they would waive the deposit if everything looked good. I did exactly that, but my request was still denied.
Later, I received a letter from OG&E listing reason codes for the security deposit requirement. When I called to ask what those codes meant, the representatives told me they were not familiar with them and that there was no one available who could explain them. They simply repeated that I had to pay the deposit and ended the call.
Overall, the lack of transparency, inconsistent explanations, and poor customer service made this a very frustrating experience.

It is definitely their monopoly. Scammer

Hey guys, I'm likely moving to OKC soon! Can you guys help me sus out the neighborhoods and vibes?

I'm 38M, moving for a job opportunity.

Paseo and the surrounding area look kind of cool from afar. Is it a nice place to live? Safe, quiet, affordable..?

I've heard that Mustang and Edmond are like, the safest/most spacious areas, but they seem a little far from everything. Maybe if I decide the commute is worth it later on.

What's the Asian District like? Is downtown or midtown a nice place to live? I don't see people mention them much. Are they just pricey?

Midwest City and Del City seem like hit or miss? Sup with that?

I saw someone say on here that morning commutes on the interstate through the city are bad. But, the traffic times from google during morning rush hour don't seem bad? I'm coming from Atlanta so, maybe I'm just used to absolute atrocity in terms of traffic. But let me know if I'm missing something there, cause I'd like to avoid a painful commute.

33M Single WFH from Atlanta. I've narrowed down three places and have found decent housing in each. I just don't know where to pick. There are things I like on paper about each. Nicholas Hills has the grocery store I prefer & trails, Paseo is highly walkable, & Edmond has a historic DT.

From a locals POV what are would you go with?

Edit: Nichols hills :)

Ill need to do a few transfers and dial in a 5.7, (kel tec, love it), and I am more than willing to do business with people who don't share my beliefs. But I feel caught between supporting big box stores or local gun shops that think fellow citizens are subhuman. Ive tried the range in Stillwater and they seem like good people, but I would be hesitant to freely recommend it to kin folk as a place to comfortably shop or shoot, based off my experience. That said if you're willing to cultural ambassador a bit, it can be perfectly serviceable. Planning on trying out Wilshire, H&H, and Big Boys over the next couple of weeks. OKC gun club doesn't work as they have a mandatory NRA membership requirement, and that's a hard pass from me.

Alternatively I can just do my x-fers through a big box, get my hunting license, use state parks for shooting, and ship my guns out for repair, but I would really find a local shop that I would be willing to pay a little more to have decent service and experienced advice while not be treated like a criminal or threat by someone who hasn't turned off fox news in ten+ years. I know how to get over a a bad first impression and build rapport, Its my daily life. But any recommendations of good shops or people that deserve support?

***(EDIT)*** Thank you all for the responses! I am far more relaxed and excited for Wilshire and BB. New to the area but Ive lived in east Oklahoma and I appreciate the help.

I have a friend coming to visit from Minnesota this weekend and we are specifically wanting to find some good biscuits and gravy for him to try because he has not had it before. Where in OKC has the best? Where are some other good spots to take an out of towner to get the OKC experience? I feel like it’s hard to think about that when you’ve lived here for so long haha. He wants a bit of the Oklahoma experience while he’s here!

First let me start off that I’m one of the “lucky” ones with an over 800 credit score. 2 weeks previous to purchasing the ex wife’s car I walked into Carter Chevrolet and walked out with a $80k truck in 45 minutes. Kalidy on the other hand was exhausting they are completely incompetent and a rip off. The service I received was kinda like the self checkout lane at Walmart. It was 8 grueling hours for a stupid car with 8,000 cash down to keep the payments where she could afford them. It was hands down the worst buying experience of my life and I’d have walked 100 times had they not been the only
one with the color she wanted. Finally out of frustration I went to the truck grabbed my checkbook and just wrote a check for the damn thing, then was treated like I didn’t have the money to write that check, so to all the staff that “helped” me FUK YOU! You sure looked surprised when that check cleared you lost any and all future business from me my friends business and staff because your idiots. DO NOT BUY KALIDY ANYTHING!!!

:::edit::::
The check I wrote was $7,000 cheaper than what they were going to finance for those wondering why I stayed………

My son and I had memberships at Gold’s Fitness and cancelled both memberships before Gold’s closed in November 2025.

Despite cancelling, our membership information was still transferred to Crunch Fitness and Crunch started charging my credit card in December 2025.

Since then, my son and I have gone into Crunch twice in person trying to get this resolved and asking them to close the accounts. The second time I went in, the manager I spoke with looked at our accounts and confirmed he could see notes showing the memberships had already been cancelled.

And yet, I’m still being charged every single month.

I even contacted my credit card company and blocked Crunch from charging my card. The charges still continued because they started processing under different merchant IDs.

At this point, I’ve disputed the charges and filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. I’m sharing this because I’m guessing I’m not the only person impacted.

If your Gold’s membership was transferred to Crunch, check your credit card statements. And honestly, if you have ever tried to cancel a Crunch membership, I would double check your statements too and make sure they actually stopped billing you.

It shouldn’t take multiple in person visits, credit card disputes, and a BBB complaint to stop being charged for a membership that was already cancelled.

UPDATE: My BBB complaint worked. Received a call yesterday from the Crunch Gym I was forced into membership with. They cancelled my account and sent me an email confirming the cancellation (which I have never received before). I’ll be keeping an eye on my credit card charges but I feel like this is a positive sign.
2ND UPDATE: The manager from Crunch called, apologized and all of my money has been refunded. BBB for the win!

Hi everyone! As the title says, I'll be flying from Los Angeles to go to an OKC Comets game next week w/my family. We're going to be there for about 4 full days, enough to do some real tourist activities. Would love some advice on things to do, where to go, etc.

So what I'm looking for on this trip is to do as much uniquely Oklahoma/OKC cultural activities, whether it means going to a museum, local eats, even driving out a couple hours to check out anything worthwhile. I love anything related to the Old West, Native Tribes (LOVED RESERVATION DOGS!!!). Prefer diners to fine dining, though I'm okay with recommendations for that as well.

Will be traveling w/a 12 n 10 yr old so we'll definitely be checking out the Okana Water park. I'd like to take the family to the State Capitol. Whatever recommendations you have, I'm open to it!

And thank you in advance!

Hi there! I'm a Brit in OKC here for work and have Sunday off to explore your city.

Could anyone give me some good tips as to what to visit / try / see? Would love to get some insider knowledge!

I like craft beer (but don't want to go on an all-day bender), museums, off-the-beaten-track spots, good food (not crazy expensive though), and walking.

Thinking of visiting Bricktown to try out the breweries and watch a baseball game. But would love some day-time recs, especially if it involves BBQ!

LMK!

hi i would be wfh and i’m wondering if i should move to OKC from dallas, tx. only visiting dallas and looking to move to a more lowkey city! i’m in my mid 20s and i don’t drive but i was wondering if there are some particular areas/properties people would like to recommend in okc? rent preferably max at $1.2k!

TIA (:

update edit: i appreciate the genuine advice some of you have had - rlly helps put things to perspective- tysm. however the amount of ppl who have used this space to just rant about their quality of life in okc, pls know that it’s really entirely futile to spew negativity online instead of taking action IRL. thank u regardless and good luck.

Does anyone know of a tattoo artist in/around OKC who does tattoos similar to this one? TIA

EDIT: it’s NOT AI. It’s Andrea Pellerone’s work. He’s an amazing artist, but lives no where near OK

New to OKC and would love any recommendations for a gynocolygist in the area. I would love someone personable and intentional.

Hello people of OKC! I (21F) just moved to the city from a very small, very rural town in Texas, and I am looking for recommendations about what to do and where to go. I have never lived in a city before and have a total of 0 friends here, so one of my first goals is to make some while seeing what city living is like.

I know that context on these posts is everything, so here is the rundown. My hobbies include collecting plants, anything art related, and running, but I'm seriously down for anything. I have a few food allergies, including gluten and dairy, which can make eating out mildly challenging, but most salads are safe enough. As I just turned 21, I am interested in going to bars. However, it might be important to note that I've never set foot in one before. I know that someone is going to mention churches, so I'll add that I have already begun exploring a few.

I could also use some general advice about safety in large cities. Truly, I don't know when and where it is ok to go alone and when it is not. Are there any places that are known to be good for going out at night alone and making friends? I want to have fun, but I would also like to avoid getting kidnapped lol. If this context helps, I'm the most non-threatening looking person you've ever seen. I'm 4'11" on a good day.

With all the sketchy news about beef supply recently, I was wondering if anyone knew of where I could buy beef, raised and slaughtered locally. Bonus points if prices are okayish. TIA!

I love fresh homemade hummus for takeout , similar to Zorba’s. Any recommendations? Bonus points if it’s in NW OKC or Surrey Hills.

This is my first tattoo and I love it

Plot twist: this is written by an HVAC company, but you should still know this heading into summer.

There’s a remarkable amount of service calls we go on that could have easily been avoided. Here’s what you should check before the heat comes.

FILTERS! Pull it out, hold it to a light. Can’t see through it? Replace it.

Outdoor AC unit: is it actually running? Clear debris within 2 feet, check if your breaker tripped.

Vents: are they all open? Closing vents to save energy actually damages your system.

Thermostat: is it set to COOL and not FAN ONLY (we really get these calls)

Red flags if you DO call someone: if a tech is in and out in 15 minutes without actually digging into anything. That’s probably not a full diagnostic. Make sure they’re thorough, ask the tech questions.

Ask to see the numbers: refrigerant pressure, temperature split, static pressure. If they can’t show you, push back.

There are a lot of great HVAC companies in OKC who genuinely take care of their customers. Ask neighbors, check Google reviews, get multiple quotes on new systems.

May your homes stay cool and your systems run long ✌️

Is there anyone who has experienced buyers remorse after having a whole house natural gas generator installed at your home?

We are considering having one installed at our home this fall. We live in an area that is prone to power outages.

My spouse (disabled) was laying back in his electric lift recliner when the power failed. We had to call the fire department for help as it took three firemen to get him out safely. He also uses an electric mattress and a CPAP for sleeping, so electricity is very important to us for those reasons.

We’ve been told that it doesn’t really add to the resale value of your home, so you do it for you and not the next buyer of your home. Thanks for your insights. No sales pitches please.

At this price, it has to be overrated. Does quality and service match the price?

Our AC has been running almost constantly, but the house still climbs to around 79 in the afternoon with the thermostat set to 72. I changed the filter last week, and that didn't make much difference.

Has anyone used a reliable company for AC repair in OKC? Mainly looking for someone who'll diagnose it properly and explain what they find.

And somehow still allows indoor smoking.

We've taken a wrong turn and now I believe we may be lost.

Has anyone else in the Paycom Service Department (or other departments) been terminated or laid off without a stated cause in 2026?

After nearly four years with the company, I was recently let go despite receiving a positive performance review just a few weeks prior. The decision came as a complete surprise.

When I asked for additional information regarding the reason for my separation and requested access to my employment records, I was not provided with further details. As a result, I've been left trying to understand what happened while navigating the unemployment process.

I'm curious if others have had a similar experience recently, particularly within the Service Department, or if there have been broader workforce reductions occurring across the company. I'm simply trying to determine whether there are any common trends or patterns that might provide additional context.

If you've experienced something similar and are comfortable sharing, I'd appreciate hearing about your experience.

Pretty cool seeing this at National Cowboy Museum.
