Experiment

People keep saying this city is unfriendly so I decided to try an experiment. I am not a Scientist by any stretch of the imagination. I decided today to smile at women today as an experiment. Of the 50 women I smiled at 28 gave me a mean look, 14 ignored me by pretending not to see me, 3 women gave me the finger, and 5 smiled back at me. This is a very unscientific study. I did note that of the women that smiled back at me 4 were over the age of 50 if that means anything. I shaved, wore a dress shirt, nice dress pants, and very nice shoes for the experiment. I wanted to look my best. So I guess Vancouver isn't that unfriendly of a place if you can get 10% of the women to smile at a random stranger in a wheelchair.

So 3 women gave a guy in a wheel chair the finger? You must have said something or I call bullshit on the whole post.

Vancouver women know what they want. They are not coy. They don't play games. If they are not interested in a particular man, they'll unequivically let him know. And sometimes that means a "dirty look."
Its unfortunate but some men just can't take a hint and need a harsher answer that makes it clear she's not interested. I've heard so many women's horror stories about guys who won't back off, I understand why those women you mentioned reacted the way they did. As a guy, I try not to take these sorts of things personally. You shouldn't either.

If everyone did that, Vancouver would qualify as friendly.

The women in Vancouver seem like mean people.
