Since I've been to Hoboken only once in the last 20 years, I find the non-PC exchange quite clever and entertaining, myself.

Serious deal breaker

There are a few of those in Hoboken as well but less of them. The belly shirts crowd does not hang with the yuppie crowd even there.
You should forget everything you know because much of it will be just the opposite.
You will no longer be looking for sundresses or pearls. That era has passed this part of the world by. I have met very traditional people from the south who move to NY and end up more comfortable hanging with hipsters than yuppies- which I'm sure was a huge surprise to them. But at least they were open and grew from the experience instead of just hating the whole thing.
Find an interest or hobby. It is actually better if you don't drink. It really is the worst way to meet people.

Sorry, not true in the South. My daughter was wearing just that today, a sundress with pearls. It was hot today, so jeans would have been to warm. She is 19, blonde, and thin . Now, she is a Jersey girl, who moved south.
We are here almost 3 years and her northern accent is gone. She sounds and looks like a Southern Bell. As I am typing this, I'm wearing just that also.

Can she point to Bulgaria on a map?

I believe you. I meant it has passed the NY region by for the most part. I was excluding the south in that post.
Funny, I could spend a decade in the south and I would never pick up that accent but maybe my accent did change slightly there come to think of it..............

If you want a more laid back, genuine type of girl, head East, young man. Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, Astoria, Queens, etc... You won't find "normal" in Hoboken.

Ha, as far as I'm concerned, there's not much normal in NYC either. I prefer anything south of the Driscoll Bridge. Gotti wannabes are laughed at, not praised (well, except in Belmar during the summer!).

Well, perhaps some of the stereotypes(not all...just some) you are speaking of have cut up alot of the NJ men. Whats with all these men around here walking with a limp like these girls chewed them up and spit them out? Cynicism and generalizations are not very attractive traits. You probably wont meet the girl of your dreams when you want to, and she may or may not be at the Saturday night hot spot when the drinks are 1/2 priced ...Im guessing not.
