Surprised you're running into so many gender-trads in Boston.

Then again, rent in Boston is crazy; maybe it's not manliness, but that they are looking for breadwinners? Men with beacoup bucks don't clean. You said you drive a practical car, not a status symbol. Dogs with pedigrees are expensive. Etc.

People in Boston are socially conservative. They are mostly center-right democrats, not progressives. They like Hillary Clinton, and they HATE Bernie Sanders. They hate poor people just as much as the republicans do, they just don't hate them based on race or sex, they just hate them for not being rich and going to elite colleges.

I'm a progressive, and yeah most women here are turned off by that. They want a traditional guy who will pay their bills for them so they can quit working and travel with his money. And yes, they all have $10,000 dogs.

My dog is a $200 rescue dog. So was my cat. If i don't clean my apartment would be disgusting from all the fur covering everything.
