Dating and relationships in Boston

[mdovell]

I don't know but maybe it's just me. Generally I would like to see a fair amount of people live in cities since I'm used to lower populated area.

If you think the boston/providence area is packed by all means try shanghai and beijing.


TRAFFIC STANDOFF IN CHINA , You first please - YouTube

Yeah traffic in mass can be bad but it isn't nearly on the same scale as other places in the country let alone the planet.

You could take this and substitute the location anywhere these days...

I find location to be a bit overrated this days--at the beginning of dating; with the internet, technology, and easy access to travel modes, I find it less important when starting.

Boston has more females than males, so that is always a good thing, there are plenty of women out there for everyone.

Being male, I agree with Enquiring Minds from the perspective of my personal interest. However, I checked back to the beginning of this thread. It appears that the OP is female. I have a sneaking suspicion she'd disagree that the ratio is a plus in Boston's dating scene. Just a hunch, mind you.

Sounds as if you're stereotyping, painting with a broad brush as they say, and may not really know Boston so well. If I'm guessing incorrectly, my apologies, but then I'd be curious to read about some of your observations that led to these conclusions. There are enough people around here so you'll find all kinds of people to one degree or another. It's not really so accurate to say you won't find any at all of this or that kind of person here.

The Guy is right about the ladies and the perception of men in regards to statuesque women. Boston has been trending to shorter people. As an a side the nation-wide trend for women marrying men shorter than them has been on the rise. However, 5'3" women in Boston are SHORT. However, they are becoming the norm around here. A look at things such as the Framingham study will show over the 50 years as women trended from taller to shorter.

They seem to be in the dominant position. A 5'10 guy seems more likely to be dating a 5'3" woman than a 5'9" woman.

The cape cod house thing seems sort of true. There are WAY too many over priced "done-up" such houses near me for sale. I can't stand them. I find them to be inefficient in space utilization and bland in looks.

Insular? Visit other towns in Massachusetts. Anyways, the "Bostonians" has been a reference to gay people. Older Townspeople never referred to themselves as Bostonians.

You're welcome.

Obviously, you did not notice the problem which lead to Busing? Or the issues involved in implementing busing? To pretend that these people did not engage in horrible acts smacks of something.
