This is even more subjective that the others on this list. Impossible to say.

Same. Boston wins more lately, but the options and the atmosphere are the same.

Not sure what you mean by this, probably Boston since it's smaller.

Equal, with every other city in the country below them.
Boston by far for all entries on that list except for "Cost of Living" and "Best City for Non-Skilled Workers."
Chicagoland sans Chicago is just like any other cookie-cutter suburban subdivision after subdivision, except there are more older and now ghetto suburbs like Cicero and Oak Park. Some parts of Cicero and west Chicago are truly Third World.
The Atlantic absolutely crushes the Lake, and the Chicagoland terrain is just... flat.
Chicago has a better dating scene than Boston? Are you kidding me? Chicago has some of the most shallow, classless and nouveau-urban women in the country: all the Midwestern rejects looking to strike gold in Chicago.
I'm still surprised that people think that other people are fundamentally different in other places that share the same general culture. The dating scene in Chicago is better because there's more people- plain and simple. It's just a numbers game.
I'm unsure how someone can really claim Boston has a better mass transit system or that it's more ethnically diverse. Those aren't really even debatable.

Sounds like someone had their heart broken. This just comes across as a little too bitter and specific to be a general observation of about 5 million women. Don't worry plenty of fish and the sea...time heals all wounds...you'll find that special someone...etc.
ahhhh you have to be ****ting me I just wrote the longest response to each one specifically and its not here?
damn it, well ill do it again late. overall, it's close.
