I am graduating in August with a degree in mechanical engineering. I want to spend my 20s in a bad arse town while I have nothing tying me down. I am pretty much open to anywhere in America. My criteria is:
1. Fun things to do
2. Outdoorsy type attractions
3. Good night life / music scene
4. Lots of young babes
Sell me on a city. TIA

Not trying to be a dick but this is probably the most overdone topic on this board. Check out the Savannah thread. They also had a really long one pretty recently on best place to live in the south.

Definitely pursue something outside of the US. A couple of years abroad would be fun. Australia, New Zealand would be great starting points or possibly China.

Come to Fayetteville, plenty of opportunities and our unemployment rate is one of the lowest in the country.
College town, so plenty of hot bitches and a killer music scene, Wakarusa every summer too. Mulberry Mountain is only 40 minutes away.
Northwest Arkansas is one of the most scenic areas in the country, we have America's first national river, the Buffalo, and plenty of great camping spots within an hour of Fayetteville.

Charlotte. Large metropolis (by Southern standards), wealthy and growing. Still retains an Old South air, but with modern sentiments. Distinct areas downtown are basically yuppie heaven (#3). Pro sports teams, the mecca of racing (if you're into that). About every outdoor activity you can think of within reach (camping, canoeing, fishing, hunting, lakes, mountains, etc.). 4 actual seasons (as opposed to just green and brown). Big decision on where to go, but Charlotte is worth a little investigation.

San Diego, CA or Nashville, TN would be my first two choices

Dallas or Houston.

Nashville has really come into fruition the past 3 - 5 years. When I first moved here, I didn't think much of it, but the restaurant/bar scene is finally catching up with some of the bigger Southern cities. Lots of good music too - and no I don't mean shitty mainstream country. It's big enough so there's plenty to do but not so big it takes an hour to get from one side of the city to the other (like Atlanta). I'd say other than New Orleans, Nashville is the best place for night life in the South.
Drawbacks: It's too cold in the winter and generally overcast from November to April. Oh, and people drive so slow here. Really, really slow.

Congrats on your upcoming graduation! A couple of suggestions:
1. Washington, DC. I spent several years there and absolutely loved it. Tons of stuff to do. Lots of young people from all over the country. It is a different part of the country, but still fairly easy to get to the South. It has a pretty nice climate. Colder than the south, but not crazy winters like you would get if you went further north. Easy access to the big cities in the northeast like NYC and Philly. You are fairly close to several beaches and not too far from the mountains in Virginia. If you move up there I would suggest either living in the city or at least one of the VA or MD suburbs on the Metro so you don't have to fight the traffic. I lived in the District and it was fantastic.
2. If you can handle the cold, Chicago is awesome. It has all the amenities of a truly world class city and a much lower cost of living than New York.

New Orleans. Seriously.
