GridTO: Why is it so hard to hook up in Toronto
GridTO is a weekly Alternative media rag here in the City - and aside from buckwheat cupcake reviews, and fat lesbian roller derby stories from time to time GridTO will take a crack at some real stories. Being Valentine's week and with a host of blue balls and dry vaginas littering Downtown, GridTO tries to take a stab at why Toronto is a barren wasteland when it comes to hooking up:

GridTO: Why is it so hard to hook up in Toronto

Quote:The piece’s central lamentation—that technology has usurped romance, or, as one interview subject put it, that dating has devolved into “a cycle of text messages, each one requiring the code-breaking skills of a cold war spy”—probably resonates, in some way, with the average Torontonian single.

But the more relevant conversation to be had here in Toronto is about how, arguably, we’ve never, as a city, experienced anything more than a tepid pick-up culture.

In fact, the rise of digital communication notwithstanding, Toronto has earned something of a reputation for being particularly un-flirtatious—a phenomenon that residents from more sexually aggressive Canadian cities, like Montreal and Halifax, are often quick to bemoan.

The question is, why? What is it about Torontonians—or Toronto itself—that makes it so unlikely to get hit on offline, out in the public sphere?....

Oh. The comments are gold as some dudes laying blame to the over feminist culture present here.
