Joe T:
Your comments you made about Torontonians are my feelings towards Montrealers in general. Not all Montrealers are bad and not all Torontonians are good, so general statements about eather city would be a misrepresentation of both cities, but my experiances from the 4yrs I lived in TO was the best 4yrs in comparison to my total 28yrs in Montreal.
If I was in TO, I would have no need for this hobby. I had numbers left right and center from women that I meet on the subways, resturants, school, the theater where I worked even those I meet on the street by striking up a conversation. No these women were not workers, just ordinary women that you see everyday. My experiances in Montreal has left a very nasty taste in my mouth. Women here tend to snub me for not speaking French very well or not being from the same ethnic group. Here the Greeks, Italians, Arabs, Indians, Chineese, etc tend to stick to themselves. For me as an Anglophone of mix heratage I have felt like the victum of constant racism here. I can't begin to tell you how many times I've looked at a women or tryed to talk to a women here only for her to pretend that I'm invisable and not there. If I do get a response it's usally a dirty look. If she does speak to me and I give her my number, I get no call from her like I'm a peice of garbage.
In TO, I had girlfriend who were Polish, Russian, Greek, Italian, Ukrainian, Portugises, Icelandic, Arab, East Indian, Asian, Philapina, Latina and other groups. I even came close to marring a Vietnamiese woman. I'm sorry if I offended anyone, but when I seen those nagative comments about TO, I felt that I had to set the record straight. For the record, I know not all Montrealers are the same, but please exept that not all Torontonians are the same eather. How we feel about one city or another is based on randem luck of the people we meet from these places. Eather our luck will be good or bad and unfortunitly that's what gives us our impressions on a city. Also for the record, I find that both the Merbits and Terbits to be pretty cool and decent people who's friendly and helpful.
Happy hunting to all.
