Reply to comment by trimtab28 in Dating in Boston by Winter_Technology_66

Huh, that’s interesting. I felt that if you’re NOT a (white) biotech professional who went to Harvard, then you’re SOL with dating in Boston.

I went on maybe 3-4 first dates a year in Boston. I had an easier time in nyc even during the pandemic and actually managed to land a long-term relationship here.

Well, I'm a short white guy who neither went to Harvard nor is a biotech professional. And really didn't have any shortage of dating opportunities back when I was single. As I said, most women I met were just career oriented and things wouldn't pan out because they were super focused on whatever life goal they were working towards. Wasn't an issue of the size of my bankbook or degree- seemed they just cared that I was focused professionally and reasonably intelligent.

By contrast in NYC local women in the boroughs were down to earth and homely, but the transplants there to "make it" seemed to be super status conscious and obsessed with someone to make their friends on social media jealous
