Very true. I have to admit, one thing I like about NYC women is that they are very upfront and assertive. I cant say articulate, but then again every New Yorker is not eclectic in certain topics, talk to a hood chick about De Blasio, she would say oh I hear that guy is gonna help us with jobs. Or ask a Transplant, have you ever been to the Bronx, she would say is that upstate right? Other cities have articulate women, articulate women in all American cities. But you can say is that NYC women in some sense are sophisticated to a certain degree compared to other women across America. But again you are right. What I like about NYC women is that many women here will let you know right off the bat that if she likes you or not, or if she finds you attractive or not. This is may sound like a bad thing for us guys and may show that women here are shallow which is true, however on the flipside women here do not linger other men that she is not interested in compared to other places outside of NYC.
I think it's partly that New Yorkers in general seem to be more aware of what's going on - partly because we're lucky with newspapers. And New Yorkers in general seem likely to have strong opinions. The thing about NYC women is that they're not afraid to voice their opinions. If a guy says he admires the mayor, and the woman doesn't, the woman is more likely to say so and disagree. And not just with topical events. I meant that if you propose a Japanese restaurant, I think here a woman is more likely to candidly say she doesn't like Japanese food, whereas in other places, women are more likely to just go along with whatever the man suggests. That's what I meant by "upfront." Maybe we don't see disagreeing as a bad thing?

No, no I agree with you. Women here are very upfront and dont waste time. I noticed that too.
The OP is from australia and vacationed in manhattan. I am fairly confident he is not referring to 'rough around the edges' girls in the bronx.
Strictly speaking about manhattan though, it's pretty hard to generalize a few hundred thousand people. Some girls shy, some in your face. Some attractive, some not.
But to move to nyc after college and try and make it here, one does have to be a bit more ambitious than your average person, and there personality likely reflects that.
Coming from Australia, I had heard all sorts of things about girls in NYC. However, despite all the negative comments, I found girls in NYC far more approachable, friendly, and feminine than girls in Sydney, Australia.
Why do people say girls in NYC are so bad?
By the way, I do realise that my experiences might not have been universal, but I'll love to hear what you guys think.

I think you should stay away from our daughters- sisters and such--- we don't want a bunch of kangaroos running around the city >
What about native Manhattan women, born and raised? Are they friendlier than the outer boroughs?
I would also think that Brooklyn having a lot of transplants would make things interesting there too.
Lol native Manhattan born women. It depends on what is nice or not so nice depending on the area. Lets start off at certain areas. You have Washington Heights and Harlem, the women from those areas are not so nice in attitude and majority of them are very ghetto with baggage. UWS and UES, that's where the wealthy live and I'm not to sure about the women in those areas, however if I become a millionaire I will report back and let you know about women in the UWS and UES. But from my observation and perspective Transplant women seemed to be very nice, especially the ones fresh off the plane and Greyhound bus from the Midwest! Transplant women are much cooler than most native NYC women, but you have to watch out for the narcissistic self entitled yuppie types! If you want women in NYC to be more friendly and open, the hustle and bustle atmosphere of NYC needs to be dismantled and removed. Or unless you want to spend plenty of money trying to look like Brad Pitt!

I can't speak on behalf of others but i find smart women with education, proper grammar and a good command of the english language desirable. Strong opinions are good as well, although sometimes it can touch you on a very personal level. But i like shy, more submissive women too who are easy to lead on but maybe not in the long run.
I once knew a lady who was physically very attractive but she was so insecure and i would no like to use this word but i'm going to anyway: simple minded that it was a turn off in the long run. But she had some good attributes as well on top of her good looks: A good heart. She never criticised anyone. And for many that's all that matters. But she was probably the most naive woman i ever met and often lost, so lost.
As for recent arrived immigrant women: The problem is that they arrive with a huge family in tow and for me there is language barrier most of them don't speak a lick of english and it's hard to establish any form of relation with them when the whole family is breathing down your neck. But some immigrant women who arrive alone with sincere plans to intergrate and to become productive members of society are very keen to get a foot in into American life especially NYC and want immediately a guide to show them around how things work in the new world.
