Y'know what's weird? Why is it that in a city of 9 million people (where 51% are supposedly female), I can't find a single, smart, funny, creative, fit, attractive and sane girl?
It's odd. In my hometown of 45k people (a suburb of Kalamazoo, MI), I managed to meet more sincere, genuine and wonderful people in 6 years than I did here in the last 9.
Either I'm looking in the wrong places...or I'm doing something incredibly wrong...or NYC women are just not up to par with Midwestern girls.
Thoughts:
1. Career-mindedness: NYC women are more interested in maintaining careers through their mid-thirties than finding love.2. Quantity over quality: NYC actually has the same percentage of desirable women and the same percentage of undesirable, however the undesirable just seem to be everywhere, when multiplied by NYC's population.
3. Competitiveness: Since there are so many options, women are seeking perfection in their male counterpart.
4. Grass-is-always-greener syndrome: Why would a woman commit to a guy, when she bumps into 1,000 equally eligible others each day.
Or, of course, the inevitable:
5. Little-fish-little-pond syndrome: To a Michigander, I may be a decent catch. To a New Yorker, I'm insufficient. I suppose I have to consider that one...but still: 4.5 Million Women+, of which, perhaps 10% are in my age range (25-35) and 10% of those are single...that's still ~50k women (roughly my midwestern suburb's entire population).

I think it's #2, or something similar. A damn large portion of those people are "from" somewhere else and therefore still trying to "survive" as if it was their first week in the big city.

I believe Chuck Klosterman had an anecdote on women in NYC, he coming from Fargo, North Dakota. Pretty sure it was in "Killing Yourself To Live," which is within reach of me right now but doubtful I would find it very quickly... it was, as usual, a sweeping generalization and concluded that while the NYC-breed of women was notably career-motivated and insane, and both more AND less genuine than all the small-town girls he had ever come across.
In other words, he has no fucking clue, but you see what you want to see, and you're usually wrong. Or something like that.
- OMG this just gave me a great idea. hahaismith
- Oh, and this is a funny critique of Chuck Klosterman: http://www.nypress.c…ismith

Do you have a small willie era404? Is that what this is about?
- harlequino0
My former roommate was from Kalamazoo. He felt the same way.
- No kidding? Maybe Kalamazoo is just full of top-notch women.era4O4
- Lol, I was going to suggest over-analyzing men. :Dharlequino

Keep trying, it eventually worked out for me quite well in the old big apple. Met and married the best woman (well, for me) ever.
And there's awesome meaningless sex to be had along the way.

Yes but all these women care about their careers more than they do about loving era404. Most of the women in NYC are the same. Era404 just isn't good enough for ANY of these women. I mean, why would any woman pick era404 as a mating partner when she has so much better options ftw??
- Do we have a pic in the QBN mugs thread so I can see what we're dealing with here?TheBlueOne
- A man's attractiveness is not about his face. It's about who he is AS A MAN.Khurram
- I'm in the mugs thread, I think.era4O4

What's not to love, really? NYC is a smorgasboard of womanly delights. If you want to mope around because your particular emotional idiosicyracies aren't being met because you want your women to be like farm girls you are missing the big picture, son.

*pours era404 a single malt scotch, takes him for a steak at Keens, tells him to "Chin up and embrace the ferocious man beast you are and stop being such a pansy."
