There just has always seemed to me to be a disproportionate amount of rather "rough around the edges" chicks in this area. Don't get me wrong, I don't think every woman in Pittsburgh is a pig. I've seen a few 8's here and there. By and large however, there just aren't as many hot women here as there are in other cities I've been to, and I've always wondered why that is. Genetics? Something environmental? Abundance of tobacco use and/or drug & alcohol consumption (God knows there's plenty of both in this area)?

I don't think there is a lack of attractive women to choose from. In my opinion as long as the woman is not skin and bones or morbidly obese she has potential. Most women that fall in between these categories look good to me with a little bit of makeup and properly fitting clothes. I always liked the midwestern girls (Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Iowa and Wisconsin) best. Their attitudes seemed to be very different than most of the locals from Pittsburgh. The midwest girls wanted to go out, date and have $ex, while the typical pittsburgh girl would rather drink like a fish, smoke newport 100's, swear like a trucker and talk about the steelers.

To me the most important and hardest thing to find in a woman is a good attitude. I know for a fact it is hard to find that anywhere, not just in pittsburgh. There are a lot of attractive local women that were totally yinzer in personality and attitude. The fact these women would rather go to the bar and talk about the steelers would immediately turn me off. There is the "yinzer" attitude with a lot of local women, but there are exceptions. You need to go somewhere else other than a bar or a club to find a girlfriend. If you are in college Duquesne University, in my opinion, is the best place to look. Those girls are friendly and wholesome. If you are an adult go to a cultural event, cooking / painting class or the gym.

I married one of the local girls that were the exception. It will take time to weed through, but there are good locals that exist and they are lonely and $exually frustrated for the same reasons.

Besides the obvious (Strip, Oakland, & South Side/South Shore), here are the best spots to find good looking women in their 20's-30's IMO:
1) Downtown- anywhere & everywhere
2) [especially between 7:00pm-1:00am on weekends] Walnut Street, Shadyside
3) [especially between 7:00pm-1:00am on weekends] Forbes-Murray Avenue, Squrriel Hill
4) Pittsburgh International Airport- little known fact
5) [on Sunday mornings] the City's big churches

The common thread in your observation is that well dressed women are appealing, and these are all places where dames dress up to go, or where well-heeled women who can afford good clothes and haircuts live.

This made me laugh. I know you didn't mean it to be funny. You felt you were being kind. I don't think you realize how insulting that mindset is for prospective partners. You shouldn't chose someone based on potential appearance People want to be accepted and loved for who they are. Nobody wants to be nagged about dressing better, their hair being a certain way, etc. That goes for men and women.

I don't think so... I take care of myself by being physically active and in shape. I expect the same from a prospective partner. Dating and attraction is very nuanced. Oftentimes it can be ugly and mean. We can't help what we like. Friendship is a different story. You can be a fat, sloppy, cigarette smoking, toothless, drunk, obnoxious yinzer female and I would have no problem hanging out with you. Don't expect me to sleep with you though like so many have!

I bet that felt refreshingly awesome, didn't it?
