I’ve mentioned I live in New Hampshire, the lower part of the state that isn’t the stereotypical area where its not all farms and cows. In fact, I live in the Boston Metro area. Now every follower on this blog, might had their eyeballs fallen out because I live near Boston, in fact put them back in your sockets! Being from New England, the city of Boston is overrated.
Most people can’t stand the out of town yuppies from New York or Berkley owning the City. What really drives me nuts is the city technically has just over 600,000 people, meanwhile the outer areas like Middlesex County, Essex County, the Worcester Hills, the South Coast, some parts of Rhode Island and my area, Southern New Hampshire is the really populated area of well over 4 million people! I’ve been to New York City a lot more than Boston when I was a kid, so I have a different viewpoint. Same applies of going to Southern and Western New England and Upstate New York too. Boston is clearly a city for the out of towners, as the Greater Boston area is metro for the locals instead.
So with the college kids having tight wallets/purses/clutches because they are going for a 6 year study for some lame degree for a useless career, they flood the radius of the match search. I am flooded with these people. I don’t understand why they are so drawn to a city full of panhandlers (or “bums”), a City that has one too many slayings, murders, and sex crimes, a City that is litterly dirty, (and NO I don’t love “That Dirty Water!”), that I can walk in most neighborhoods within an hour and then get bored because I’ve seen everything, a City filled with Modernist buildings that look ugly as hell. Then a city shutting down on odd holidays like “Evacuation Day” (aka Saint Patty’s Day), Patriots Day (Third Monday of April), “Bunker Hill Day” (in June) and another odd holiday for the government workers which I can’t remember. The City shuts down after 8:00pm, and I can’t find the nightlife I see on TV all the time, because well Downtown Boston is always busy after a Bruins or Celtics game in the winter/spring time.
Overrated! Period.
Ok so I digressed, but I think you can understand my point that I’m having difficulties finding people. My other issue is that I don’t want to date someone then screw off back to the Left Coast or some other place leaving me behind. This is why I can’t stand the ADHD twentysomethings, they must have a good process of moving every six months and not be crazy. I moved only 3 times in my lifetime and it drove me nuts just 2 years ago!
Now you know why I am having trouble finding someone who typically is supposed to be “slowing down” at this time of their lives.
