I love Boston - Dating Scene Analysis

I love everything about Boston! I love Fenway Park, I love the accent, I love the raw clams & oysters.

But let's talk about the Boston dating scene.

To me, Boston feels like a more intimate, more practical city when it comes to dating. It's not your typical big city bar, meet a stranger, type place. It's not a city about dating profiles or swiping.

It's more like this is a city where you're going to meet a lot of people. And the more you network, the more likely you will find someone you really dig.

Maybe a co-worker, maybe a friend of a friend, maybe someone who loves the Red Sox as much as you do, you never know.

Anyone else see this or have you had success with Boston dating online?
 
I agree with the assessment of the city scene, though it's also hard to stereotype an entire city as just one personality.

Still, I think there are still plenty of people looking for romance in Boston.

If I had to recommend an app to use, I would actually say Flure. It's LGBTQ friendly, inclusive and very much open in terms of what people want, whether casual or long-term. I finally downloaded it today and think it's fun.

It speaks to Bostonian's spirit. Their worldview, their intelligence, their millennial demographic. The match system is pretty good and I feel it's better than all the other random apps which people in every city are getting tired of.

Ashley Madison, Adult Friend Finder, and Tinder are all well and good. But they're not really my scene. I think a lot of us are more inclined to go with certain dating apps that just feel comfortable to us.

I visited Boston. And I will say it's very easy to get laid.

Just download Grindr or Adult Friend Finder and say you have very low standards. The offers will come in.

Now if you're talking about dating in Boston for a serious relationship, yeah, it's harder to maneuver.

I am not much of an app person. I think they bastardize real dating and the art, the gift of getting to know someone intimately.

But I just don't like speed dating. I'm not opposed to hooking up, but I can't stand the idea of some random guy evaluating my penis and rejecting me after what I thought was a wonderful night.

The best apps, if any, are the ones that let you connect on something beyond the physical. I think maybe eHarmony is good with that.

But bear in mind, just as many people would be interested in getting offline, social media wise, and instead show up at some group events.

Sports, book clubs, movies, board games, it's all fun and a great way to network and make friends and avoid the heartache of dating in a big city.

I'm heard about Ashley Madison and how it's pretty popular for married and singles alike. Never tried AFF or Grindr, but I mean there's a first time for everything right?
 
I signed up on FLURE and Tinder and one other one, I forget the name lol

So I'll see what they do for my social life. But yeah, I agree, board game meetups really work!
