And to put it bluntly, I think our brains sort of "ignore" a large percentage of the unattractive girls. I mean I know I personally don't really pay attention to the multitude of below average girls on the street, but will definitely take a second or two to check out a hot one.

(wow, I never thought my total level of jackassed-ness could be qualified into words, but there it is!)
First of all: funny. Repped you for the self awareness. Second: I agree. We have selective hotness receptors. I'm gay, so I'm always surprised when my straight friends mention how hot the girls are here. I just don't notice.

As for me I knw the streets but I gave up street mentality a long time ago in a galaxy far far away.
So you are a perpetrator? lol

Well that's good you left the streets behind I hope you find the woman of your dreams.

First, because we have all the models and actresses. Second, because New York women are pretty sophisticated in knowing how to dress and make up to their best advantage.

Is it possible for you guys to acknowledge that all women are not put on this earth for you to f---?

I'd just ask that you at least try to remember that you're in a public forum and that everyone has an equal right to exist, regardless of how attractive you find them.

Comments like yours are harmful.
Hey, the thread is about woman is NYC being attractive, I'm simply point out that for the most part, they aren't.

Agreed. Because the NYC area is so diverse, there are different types of women that appeal to different types of men.

If you go out to a less diverse region of the country (like many parts of the South and Midwest where there are very few Asians and Hispanics and a low foreign-born population, which limits the "selection" of different body types)

Plus, there is a blend of different cultures. There are plenty of people who are mixed from different cultures, so they might have the figure common in one culture and the face and skin complexion common in another. A lot of these "mixes" are attractive to people outside of their ethnic group (and of course, this applies to men as well)

On the other hand rural areas have their own charm. Alot of grown up women who only had contact with the opposite sex with their cousins behind the barn on a hot summer night. These females are more than willing to ride with you to the nearest city for a hamburger.
