NYC Women Fleeing City Metrosexuals, Prowl Suburbs for Actual Men

This is pretty funny and pathetic at the same time. 

“Ugly guys in Manhattan, they think they’re hot stuff,” said Robyn Kassner, a 35-year-old owner of branding firm Haute PR who lives on the Upper East Side."

“In Connecticut, they’re just very normal, very sweet, very unassuming. They don’t have game. [Ed note: doubt that VERY much. The women just don't notice the obvious, proper roles that each are assuming.] They’re steak-and-potatoes American. They don’t care about fashion, they’re not metrosexual,”.

For women, 35 years old is getting to the cusp of where you can reasonably expect to find suitors your own age and to the upper edge of relative ease with fertility issues.

Another observation:

“Guys in New York City are constantly emasculated when they have to buy a bottle to get into a club or they take a girl back to their apartment that they share with five other guys,” she said."

Artifice, artifice and more artifice.

Women wanting to get married should be looking for men who are as close to complete independence as possible. In most cases that means men who are not living with their parents and have a job (or a business).

What have they committed to in the past?

Anything?

These are important signs in our broader culture. In more religiously conservative communities, it is not unusual for kids to go from their parents' home to getting married-however, this is usually at a much younger age than the North American average. And these couples have children earlier, and manage their educational plans along with having a family.

Anyway, this is an interesting piece.

The big picture message-women like (real) men. Men like women.

However, if I was a man, I would also be justifiably wary of a woman who was getting up to her mid-thirties and still prowling around clubs. This often indicates some wear and tear.
