Just take a nice walk around the Common, Back Bay, North End and Financial District on a sunny summer day around lunchtime. Boston does have some of the hottest looking men around, seriously.

I second this. Seriously. Even though I suspect Bob was being facetious, exhibiting that dry east coast sense of humor

I was impressed, in the few days I was in town. There seemed to be a nice mix of "real men" manly worker types (i.e. the numerous firemen/street construction guys who whistled as I walked past, LOL) to the more subdued bookish business types who were also very attractive and EVERYWHERE! A nice change from the neurotic sissies you see out here on the west coast, most of whom are gay anyway, or creepily on the fence about sexuality. Just my two cents as an outsider.

Type 1. Yankee-Mr. Wasp : Extremely preppy. They look like cut-outs from Jcrew. Educated or in the process of getting an education...he may not study much since Daddy's money can get him whatever he wants anyways but he will still finish his education. I believe this effects their personality and may not relate with people outside of anyone else who is not a WASP or Connecticut bred. They are generally respectful..yet not very manly. A typical date will be dinner in Newton or Newbury Street over strained conversation. He went to Harvard or BC if his grades weren't good enough. Good chance he graduated debt free.

Type 2. Staunch Liberal. The Staunch Liberal may or may not be gay. It is hard to tell if some straight staunch liberals are in fact straight. This has to do with their "enlightenment" of not having to put on a masculine front. Many of them even speak in somewhat feminine tones of voice. Most of the Staunch Liberals have great upbringings (that is being raised in Boston of course ) but they may have evolved past paying for dates, opening car doors, and taking on traditional gender roles. Expect a date to consist of eating "ethnic" foods and discussing the NPR line up of the past few days. They would probably tend to date a woman who is a minority such as an Asian Emerson girl, a Hispanic scholarship recipient at Tufts, or a Black girl who is studying sociology at BC.

Type 3. Pure mass hole. He may have a drinking problem. You may never figure it out for sure. Between sporting events which are spiritual events for this man that seem to happen quite frequently and having friends in town from California or Florida (the ones who escaped Boston's harsh climate) he may be drinking beahs and whiskeys multiple nights a week. He is from Boston or maybe upper New England. A typical date will involve drinking and eating lobster rolls. He will usually be a gentleman and take on traditional gender roles but he won't have as high of a salary as the Staunch Liberal or Mr.Wasp due to less Education or less selling out...it's hard to tell.

All New England men can fit into one of these catagories. Some will be a mix of two.

There are also sub-catagories that fall into these that include typical techie, traumatized transplant, California-douche, asexual hipster, etc.
Great read!

I followed this post because I was curious about the OP who posted something equally unusual and odd in the New Orleans forum awhile back.

But, this is well worth bumping back up!

Went to school in Boston and now live in Texas, the men are very different and I entirely prefer the Boston men. But to each their own

And my comments still stand,

We Boston men are wicked hot looking, suave and cool dudes. Did I mention that we are modest as well?

I went to college in Boston, most my friends that were local were most intellectual than friends I had from other states, more into baseball they love their Red Sox, more into learning about various cultures and into world travel than other places, more politically liberal generally but thats about it.

I'm a single male living just outside of Boston. If you (or the OP) wants to know what Boston men are like, I'll be more than happy to show you around.
