As someone who has lived in NYC and in Socal...NYC women are completely overrated, especially in the looks department. Most've them had terrible attitudes, and wear too-much makeup and look hideous in the morning.
In Socal, the women are generally laid-back and many of them are beautiful. Even the women who are less attractive physically have a good, out-going personality. Also, there is more diversity and people seem to date different races more often.
The arrogance of New Yorkers always makes me laugh, especially during the long winter months when they are freezing their asses off. qwy - you seem like a good guy so I hope your experience is different. If not, there are plenty of good medical schools in Cali where you can do your residency.

def agree re. the diversity part, especially when dating outside your race is concerned. NYC certainly seems more segregated in that area than LA (where i moved from 2 yrs ago). not saying that LA doesn't have it's issues, but there seems to be more mixing there than here.
on the other hand tho, meeting ppl is easier in NYC, plus there's so many more women concentrated in a smaller area (especially if you live in Manhattan) so it's easier to succeed at the numbers game here than it is in LA.
I'm not a woman in New York but I was a single guy while living there. I've also read that article. NYC's a BIG place and there are many different types of people there. That article, I think, was targeted at the young middle-class professional women with Sex in the City fantasies. There are a lot of those types runing around up there, no doubt, but there are also many more down to earth women who aren't always looking for the next big thing career or relationship wise.
I enjoyed living there. There are plenty of gorgeous women everywhere and I like the fact that they tend to be a lot more aggressive than in other places. I'm no male model but I never lacked for attention up there. I also LOVED the variety of women(ethnicities, nationalities, whatever).
DTL3000,
When you say the women are more aggressive, are you saying that they actually approach men there? And where this women of a particular race or was it all races/ethnicities?
NYC is one of the cities I am working on relocating to but I definitely don't want to be in a place where I have to be the one chasing guys.
The women who have something going for them in NYC--look good, well educated, and have good jobs--are very spoiled. I think their expectations are immense and yes, there are 1000s of ideal men in Manhattan who have it all--corporate attorneys and investment bankers who are pedigreed, attractive and monied.
And because these men are out and about in the Manhattan area the women all think these types of men are within their reach even if they themselves are not on the level of said men.
Women are silly in thinking that because a guy will date her or sleep with her (one of many likely) that they are entitled to these tier 1 men.
NYC is not for the faint of heat. It's the big leagues and you had better have your siht together if you wanna play with the big boys.
Your best bet is to date another student, because you can't afford to go to toe-to-toe with the former capt of Princeton's crew squad who looks like he stepped out of an Ambercrombrie and Finch catalogue and had a 7 figure bonus last quarter.
In NYC if you want hot women you need to date immigrants or ethnic minorities from ethnic enclaves as they don't have Manhattan type expectations.
seriously, what are you guys talking about?? the ratio was AWESOME and in my favor as a man when I lived back East. (I left because of weather and cost of living). Unlike LA, not all the girls are materialistic. The variety of women is fantastic too!

true, but unlike LA not all the white girls are golddiggers either..Greek chicks in Astoria, Latinas in the Bronx, Bollywood Hotties in Jax Hts Queens the variety is awesome!
I lived in NYC for 12 years and many of my friends still live there. Most of my girlfriends are extremely attractive and successful. Many of them recently got married to great guys. They are all in their early/mid thirties.
Guess what? Women in New York City are people, too. They aren't all spoiled, evil, horrible women. They can be funny, kind, smart, etc, - just like women in other places. Crazy, isn't it?
And if you only care about very attractive women - you aren't ready to be in a real relationship anyway. Yes, attraction is important. But when you make looks your only priority, then you make finding a true partner very difficult. You are young - hopefully you will see the error of your ways.
As for myself - I didn't talk about my dating in NYC because I've never really been single. Just wanted to explain why I didn't talk about my own dating experiences.
Blame 'Sex in the City', a show about three average looking women constantly in search something better. It has far too many women, especially in Manhattan, overestimating their drawing power.
But in thinking about it further, I think they actually are.
But the thing is, it's not only a NYC or an attractive woman problem either.
It seems like everyone- man, woman, fat, skinny, attractive, average, rich, poor, tall, short, kind, mean... you name it -is really picky and critical.
And they're doing it everywhere.
I don't know if this is good or bad.
