Just look in the mirror. No one needs to co-sign my beauty.

You need to read my assessment on women in NYC, some say its a bit true to some a bit overblown. If it was me I rather sleep with an unattractive woman in Idaho than sleep with an unattractive female from Bronx or Brooklyn!

Average women in this city do get hit on by a lot. Sometimes I notice there big women nearly 300 pounds pushing strollers, I wondered who knocked them up?




That's true too, but at the same time I don't think the op is generalizing!



Wrong. I met unattractive women in other parts of America and were willng to carry on a conversation and exchange numbers. In matter of fact some years ago in Vegas I was dancing with an unattractive Indian American bbw from San Francisco, her friends got jealous and decided to cockblock her. One time on way to Austin a early 50 something woman, probably well passed her prime and glory days behind her solicited me asking me to stay at her place while visiting. She was very upfront and honest about it and looking for company. I had to politely demure. Maybe if she dyed her hair I would have took the plunge! BY no means I was interested in this women but like food, you don't know whats going to land in your plate! Overall in my experience its much more easy meeting women outside of NYC than within. Again in NYC if you look physically creepy, or average in the looks department, below average, average and above average woman will not give you the time of day! Even be lucky if a below average woman gives you time in this city!



Aint that the truth, Gonna have to rep you.



I see the same thing too but also observed and even experienced it. You have to understand the dynamics of dating and relationships in NYC as a local or native New Yorker vs the Transplant. The thing is this that NYC, but also Boston, Philly, DC and rest of the urban NE is that women in this part of America are shallow and stuck up. The main reason why this happens is one because of cat calling. To many men here cat call women, it can either boost a womans ego or make her repulse a man regardless how she looks. Again women in this city and region live primarily in cities even worse if they live in low socioeconomic neighborhoods like the South Bronx for example. Women who grow up in these low income nieghorhoods are the most shallow, these women are brought up to watch out for men and don't date men that look like creeps. But is a man that looks like a creep really is a creep? Most likely no! Another thing is that we live in cities, in cities we don't have much time to make chatter or talk and always on the move and will not take the time to get to know you, this is why its faster to get with a local woman here if your physically attractive vs having an amazing persona. To get a womans attention here a man really cant use toys but a man has to used his physical looks. Another thing is that women here in NYC have their firewalls up set to high, the best way to get passed a woman's firewall on a cold approach is probably to be physically attractive.

Now let me say my piece. Most women in NYC are not really physically attractive persay. Yeah some women here may have big breat, big butts, nice curves, but may have an average looking face or what not. To be honest a woman from the Bronx or Brooklyn can look like an 8 but if they Transplant themselves to Florida or California, these women can easily end up as an 5. Hell I even knew a woman who wanted to be in playboy, a once childhood friend from Mott Haven, Transplanted to Cali almost a decade ago and she was not cut out for playboy because of her looks and ended up staring in porn which her career didn't last long! Also know a couple of women here who also transplanted to the sunbelt and have difficulty finding boyfriends in their new states, wasn't so in NYC where men were lined up to be with them. What's attractive in one part of America can be seen as ugly in another, so beauty is in the eye of the beholder! NYC women may be down to earth, but many are neurotic in the head, stuck up and shallow, as a man their is nothing you can do about this and the punches roll with the territory. Most local NYC women do not go for goal oriented type of guys, guys who are trying to make something out of themselves, or guy that is college educated and so forth, they find men like this to be selfish, also women in NYC make their own money and do not require a man to give them anything. I think when a woman here in NYC gets a bit older and wiser, a man that is solely physically attractive but has nothing to show for it becomes less appealing and may start going to a guy that has his stuff together regardless of how he looks. IF your an average NYC man, my best bet is to save money, build yourself up, try to fix up your appearance, obtain a college degree and you will be. Also try to increase your desiriblity, the best way by doing this is having a woman beside your arm, once you get one woman regardless of how she looks other will come and approach you to swipe you away from your woman!

Overall if you wanna get a woman here in NYC your going to have to be phsysically attractive. If not try to build your status and income repertoire and go for careerist and or college educated professional Transplant women that wear yoga pants.
Your the only one who understood what I was asking. Thank you.

Thank you! You should have repped me for that post. But like I said that I have an assessment on women in NYC, dated, and mingled with women from different walks of life in NYC from immigrants, to locals and even Transplants. With born and bred women she has to find you physically attractive in order for her to like you and cars and personality is not going to help.

So whereas in L.A. they would only approach "the standard" because they don't want to look bad in front of others that is not the case here.
Sorry I can't agree. LA and NYC men have similar mentalities. I get that most men like thick curvy women. But thick and curvy in the right places! Not thick and curvy with a muffin top and back rolls. I guess the dating scene must be rough, if their settling for fatties.

LOL I've read a few NYC threads so I'm familiar. I just can't believe the egos out here. I found your assessments quite accurate. I just think people get way too sensitive about judging appearances. Which is funny. The other day, I watched some women (chubby) tell off a guy paying her a sincere compliment. She gave him a wtf look and told her friend that he had alot of nerve LOL! Out of NYC, I don't think she would have been acknowledged.
