Montreal in another Maxim write up...

[Uncle Kracker]

In the May '06 issue (w/Jamie Lynn Sigler on the cover) on page 104, they have a section called "Babes! Bars! Banzai!" 10 of the hottest places for guys to travel to for women, booze, and adventure...

Montreal Canada
Finally, a reason to stop bashing the French.

BABES! Forget the "poor man's Paris" rep. This freakishly festive city dedicated to hot women and shitty sports teams is closer and has a far better temperament. Montreal's dark-haired beauties don't care what kind of car you---just having one's good enough. "Montreal women are beauty minus the attitude," notes Boris, 33, a local film producer. "They exude a sexuality you don't see in the rest of Canada."

BARS! Steering east of joints filled with Boston frat boys on the Crescent strip gets you to the St-Laurent scene --- where Blizzarts, A GoGo Lounge, and Boa are places to work on your Franglais pickup lines till 3 a.m., when news of after-parties spreads like brush fire.

BANZAI! If you like white water, just not a whole day of it with some jagoff in the stern screaming at you to paddle, try Lachine Rapids Tours (514-284-9607). For $50 you can shoot the rapids of the St. Lawrence River on a high-powered jet boat. Just aim for the side when you toss your cookies.

I especially found the "Boston frat boys" line funny... and also found the BABES! section 100% accurate.

BDC- I beg to differ and it is the other way around, Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver in that order are the snobbiest, most arrogant disrespectfull women/people in Canada and maybe North America, lots of beautifull women in these cities but they are all arrogant snobs with attitude.

It seems that the perception about women is proportionnal to your degree of success.

If you have no success in Montreal you may find the women arrogant and if you score in Toronto they may all look beautiful or is it vice versa. Whatever!

On a personnal note, I am a Montrealer and francophone and nothing is easy. In my mind Montreal women are less open than women in other towns such as Quebec City. Then again for reasons unknown to me I enjoy success in Quebec but not much in Montreal. Go figure that out.

HA! Very well said my friend, very well said indeed.

Montreal Babes

IMHO Toronto gals are 10 times less approachable than les babes de Montreal
Toronto gals size up your wallet before your crotch.
Of course some francais helps in Montreal, but we are blessed with gorgeous hot gals of every colour, language, ethnicity, and age.......Montreal women are our #1 tourist attraction ! They rock! Even compared to European cities Montreal women hold their own. I have no idea why.

For all you full-blooded anglos who can't parlez-vous francais:
1) fake it, or
2) pretend that you are from California (beach boy) or Texas (cowboy) and fake the accent. The french gals sometimes love this stuff. What ever you do, never admit that you're from Toronto............instant rejection

BYW, Quebec City gals can be great fun, except that they all pretty much look like the girl-next-door type, which is great if you enjoy a cutie GFE girl-next-door type.

men vs women ratio

I'm not sure about the stats,but the fact that women are a little tougher to get in Montreal maybe has something to do with the fact that there's a 2 men for 1 women ratio,has opposed to the other way around in Lac St-jean.
Same thing for lower st-laurent,Sept-iles area.
Its crazy over there,there's at least 3 women for one man!
So I guess that might explain why some of the Montrealaise are playing hard to get.
But in the end,if you play the right cards,you will eventually score with women, be it from montreal or anywhere.
Just my 2¢.

 

[Cosmo]

These are not scientifics stats.
But they are more than rumors,I've been hearing about these facts for a long time.
I have co-workers who come from these regions and they all more or less agree about those numbers.I 've been in Lac St-Jean many moons ago and I remember the girls beign very friendly.I felt like a rock star!:cool

never had any probs personally chatting up the girls in wherever bar/club I been/go to

So don't know why saying it's bottom of the pile.. personally.. tops for me

Needs to be qualified

I think it all comes down to who you are in regards to whether Montreal rates well for women. And things have changed over the years due to the politics here. I for one, can't hide the fact that I'm English speaking, my French sucks and I am from Toronto. That pretty well puts Montreal girls near the bottom of the list for me -- their list. This is one of the reasons why I would like to relocate back to Ontario.

If you have a good command of French and are willing to use French continuously rather than just during the initial greetings, then you will do well with the women here.

I've had the same exact experience... Never had any problems talking it up in any place in the city.

MTL vs TO

BDC:

The language ability will obviously have an impact on your success with MTL babes. Since I am " Bi " ( easy there, bi-LINGUAL! ), I can compare both MTL and TO gals without language barriers.

You are right about the Eastern European babes in TO...they can be very hot n sexy, minus attitude. I'm talking Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Czech. Partly that reflects the fact that there is mucho competition in TO. We see less Eastern European gals in MTL cuz of language and perceived better opportunity in TO We see a lot more Asian gals in MTL the last few years, dunno why, but for some reason I rarely connect.
