Munich — meeting girls online first?

Planning my first trip to Munich in the next few months. I've read through a lot of the older threads but wanted to check if the info is still current.

My main questions:
- Best area to stay for easy access to the scene?
- Realistic daily budget?
- Any areas to avoid?
- How welcoming are the locals to foreign visitors?

I'm coming from the UK and have experience in a few different countries but this would be my first time in Munich.

Thanks for any help!

The scene has changed a bit since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality overall.

Did you feel safe walking around at night?

I'd also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.
