Boston sucks. People there aren't very nice/approachable as opposed to other cities (It's a New England thing). It's the biggest college down in the country (there are around 40 colleges in and around Boston) so most people there are super liberal-minded student types who are socially inept and get offended and "creeped out" by everything. Girls I've date there have told me they hate getting approached when out at night because they aren't there to meet people they are their just to be out and have drinks with their friends.
i've read some of the Boston threads and it seems people either love it or hate it here. Some say that they've never had an easier time pulling in Boston except in NYC, and some say essentially what you're saying. So I'll have to do a little more recon.
It may just have been a poor choice of venue on my part - the bars in Cambridge gave me the vibe you're describing. The women definitely didn't seem to be very interested in meeting guys, the ones who weren't with dudes seemed to just want to stand around in gaggles of five or six girls and pose and be seen.
And the bars after midnight are cramped with nowhere to move so you constantly have to be saying "oh sorry dude" "oh excuse me", hot and stuffy, and smell bad.
I'm actually liking the feel of Providence a lot more. There's less to do nightlife-wise, but the city is a bit more rough around the edges, working class, and the women seem more approachable. One female bartender actually chatted with me and offered me her Facebook (not that I took it) which wouldn't happen in a million years in Boston.
Only trouble is that the couple times I have been there, the ratios have seemed even worse. But I'll take poor ratios where guys have no game over places with better ratios where nobody wants to be approached.
