Dating in Boston - The Truth

According to Sunday's Boston Globe writer Richard Florida confirms our belief (our being the single gals) that women on the our side of the country have a much harder time finding a man than if they lived on the West Coast.

While one may read this article and conclude that there must be something wrong with East Coast women, in this case Bostonian ladies, Your Holly Golightly unveils the truth of the matter...We women of Boston have a hard time dating due to the lack of this cities quality men.

Yes you heard me, it's not that the women are doing something wrong, it's the guys. In hope of changing the status quo of the Bostonian dating scene, Your Holly Golightly is here to lend the men some key tips:

1. NEVER, and I repeat Never is it a good idea to begin an convo with a woman by insulting her. Yes, we understand you are joking but it still makes you look like a child and any interest we might have had is now completely gone.

2. If you are at a bar with "your buddies" (god I hate that phrase) please refrain from shouting in our ear. We are standing close enough to hear you at a normal tone, please spare our hearing.

3. If you ask a girl out to dinner plan something nice and DO NOT bring her to a chain restaurant (ie. Cheesecake Factory)... ugh! Boston has many fine restaurants, try one.

4. Put some effort into your appearance...Abercrombie + Fitch was cool in high school, it is no longer attractive. Splurge and invest in a pair of great jeans and some Dior. Find out who Brian Kinney is and copy his exact look, so everything except the gay factor.

5. Even though we love our Sox and Pats, there is a lot more going on in today's world. Pick up the NY Times and educate yourself on current events. A guy who knows about more than sports is an instant girl magnet.

6. oh and stop with that Horrible Boston man-boy haircut. The crew cut should be left behind with the A+F clothing. It's hideous. Oh and become one with male beauty products...yes they make them for men and trust me you will love them.

XOXO
