I just REEEEEAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLY hate the cold.

Like, if it's in the 50s or below I'm not happy. I will visit NYC one day. But it'll definitely be in the summer

New York has finer women than any other city on earth. It's almost unimaginable. Hot or cold, the women look absolutely incredible

New York is young.

Ken Burns had an interesting point in his NYC series. He said that although NYC is one of the youngest of the great cities it is actually the oldest "mega-city" meaning it was the first to achieve that status, and the first to deal with modern, mega-city issues.

Not meant to challenge anything you wrote, just think it's an interesting angle.

Do you have some statistic on that?

I mean, I know a lot of fine women move to New York in order to pursue acting careers but I don’t know if, indigenously, they produce the hottest women.!!

I’d challenge even that.
Granted, i’m not sure what “mega city” means in terms of hard numbers, but i’d Be surprised if ancient metropolises like London, Rome and Beijing didn’t meet at least a passing standard of that.

And New York is so modern. What, 400 years or so at the oldest?

There are no castles to demolish in New York. No cemeteries to uproot that contain the bodies of men that were killed before the Bronze Age.

There exist no ancient wonders in New York.

Hell, the word New is in its name.

Among the new cities, modern cities...it’s top 3.

But unlike people, cities tend to last more than a lifetime or so.

And the history and longevity buried in cities, the ones that last so so so long...that gives them a place that is more special than any skyscraper.

Despite what gorgeous women like to think, they aren’t exactly a finite resource. They make more of them every day, sometimes in the strangest places.

It’s all about finding those beauties, and bringing them into the fold where they can be appreciated, and truly valued, before some high school quarterback and future car salesman knocks them up.

Don’t you have some “penis of color” to suck off?

Your opinions are like truck stop toilets.

Full of shite and in dire need of flushing.

Take it up with Ken. I'm not an expert on world cities throughout history. I just have a Netflix account.

New Orleans>>>>>>>>>>New York

NOLA has, by an order of magnitude, more soul, spirit, and substance that NYC.

That is what truly makes a city great, whether it advances from the bare definition of concrete, lots of people, museums, etc to the higher, more sublime definition of being a story, a fable, a unique but very real storyworld to visit.

Visited. Like it so much that I moved here.

I lived there twelve years. Had kids, moved when they got old enough to ride the subway by themselves. It felt like time to go.We still live in striking distance and yes it is the greatest goddam city on earth.

Does it really matter though?

I mean, a debate about the best this or that, if it didn’t find a difference of opinion, is mostly just a bunch of cocksucking.

Isn’t a little variety the spice of life?

If I had the money, i’d Travel to all the great cities of the world and work out a better opinion.

And have drinks in each.
Want to take a trip?
