And i'm not bagging on Canada, it's just Toronto. I've been to other Canadian cities and met girls in Toronto that were from other cities that had not been in the city too long and they were cool as hell. And i'm like wait a minute, how are these girls so social that are from other places. But the girls in and from Toronto are completely opposite? Just makes ya go hmmmm
Yeah even in american malls i see dudes trying to talk to every girl they see and American women still do a lot more things on their own that they think are gonna please men. You see it all the time. You don't get much of that in Toronto unless it's a girl whose family hasn't been over here that long.

So basically what you're saying Is that women in Toronto (or those born and bred or who have been here generationally) are a lot less apt to please men? That women in Toronto are less apt to be some random dude's plaything at the mall or club or insertsocialplacehere? I mean god forbid she is a self respecting girl who is intent on bettering herself and focussed on a career or schooling. Maybe she is holding off until she is established and then she will look for a partner.. Wow how dare she do that..

If I had a daughter I'd probably want her to be raised in a place like Toronto where dudes are afraid to approach woman and woman have the "Self respect" to not want to talk to dudes at all but it's pretty boring for the men living in Toronto that have to deal with this. And yeah women are obviously more educated in Toronto than a typical U.S place, but with that comes less fun for both.

Well it's pretty hypocritical and shallow to say you would put your daughter in a place like Toronto even though you yourself wants to have "fun" in those ways. Just let women be who they want to be. If anything that makes Toronto an even more desirable place to live that it has women who have self-respect. And this is coming from a non-feminist male.

Again, I don't know exactly why. But I don't believe that Toronto girls are generally mean or douchey or anything.

Maybe because Toronto is a very liberal and educated city, people are just not as responsive to obvious attempts at picking up. I honestly can see how it would irritate many women and that they are just not up for causal approaches anymore. But i don't even see why this is such an issue, I rarely if ever meet people out on a street for no reason and just assumed this was a thing reserved for bad romatic movies. Everyone I've met has been introduced between mutual friends, in school, work, or in a less open and innocuous public space.

Either way, I've never been treated like dirt for simply acknowledging some girl on a street in Toronto.

I think it also depends on how you would break the ice with her and how you approach her. Plus if you're hot that makes a difference to.. I mean in internet world, for all the people complaining about how girls don't respond to some guys - well we really don't know how these guys look - maybe that is part of the problem...

Ok so this list and club of things to do isn't going to help make you a chic magnet on the streets of Toronto, but it might actually broaden your horizons beyond the "Toronto sucks routine" and that there may be more under the surface... You may actually find the woman - or man of your dreams at one of these clubs or activities.

wow, I guess I'm not going to Canada. This makes me even less interested in Canada, and killed the VERY VERY little interest and curiosity that I had with the country. It's sounds like it's much less social than the USA, and I don't even think the USA is that much. Maybe it's just that few places are as welcoming and open as Mexico, Colombia, Central America, Caribbean, Philippines, Thailand, Much of east and southeast asia.

I think I can speak on behalf of all Canadians when I say how devastated we are that you aren't coming
