Girls and people in Vancouver?

Question

I am moving to vancouver in less than a year, and was really looking forward to it, as it looks so beautiful. However, someone on the internet who lives there has insisted that the people are unfriendly and the girls are pretentious and guarded, and only like the vancouver drug dealers. Obviously as a guy the girls are going to be a factor in my decision to live somewhere, so don't hate on me for asking this. I thought they were all supposed to be cool, friendly and laid back in Vancouver, so does this guy have a false perception or is he correct?

Thanks, please put me at ease as I have to go there for my career...

Answer 1

People are people everywhere. There are great people in Vancouver and there are a**holes too. People are not as outgoing as say West Virginia as there is the famous "Canadian Reserve" that may make them seem a little standoffish. However this is just respect for your privacy.

Don't worry about it. You'll do fine.

Answer 2

I agree totally. People there don't make eye contact with strangers. They pretend they haven't seen you when you pass them. The girls are pretentious. Again, you can't make eye contact with them. Even if they fancy you, they pretend they haven't seen you until you buy them a drink.

There is nothing subtle about dating there. They either want you to buy them a drink or get lost.

They judge you by the money you spend on them. Three dinners to get you in the door. And don't expect them to share expenses. Vancouver women are tight fisted adn expect you to pay for everything. I spent a few years there and would never date a canadian again.  

However, there are lots of attractive women there from other countries and cultures. Good luck.

PS. They have no sense of humour either.

Answer 3

the downfall to vancouver is it's pretty boring..not much to do in entertainment wise; though they have plenty of hot males and females
