New York Date

By Ajay Mane


Matt says: Well, why should they be? They have way too many options with all of the single women out there more than prepared to go out with them. A lot of women in New York start to compromise what they really want in a man just to have a dating life. The best method for a woman to date in New York City is to keep it casual and ensure that any man interested in her understands that she is dating other guys.

Dating in New York City is always an adventure. You never know if a certain night out will turn into a chapter of Sex and the City, The Odd Couple, or Law & Order.

Now switching gears from mathematics to evolutionary psychology, on condition that this strategy is mathematically proven to be optimal, the logic of natural selection implies that, over a any period of time of human evolution, all women will eventually be selected to employ this strategy, without being consciously aware of the mathematics behind it. Women who take on the "Reject the first 37% and select the next best" strategy are expected to accomplish greater reproductive success on average than women who take on the "Marry the first one I can find," or "Reject the first 5% and select the next best" or "Reject the first 90% and choose the next best" or any other potential strategy. Unconsciously, all women should have the evolved psychological mechanism to reject the first 37% of the total estimated number of lifetime potential mates, and decide on the next best candidate.

Matt and Tamsen are Manhattan matchmakers and dating coaches who also are happily married to one another. They offer unique his-and-hers perspectives on New York City dating dilemmas. What are the hardest things about dating in New York City? Is there NYC-specific dating etiquette that people should know about?

Dating in New York City is always an adventure. You will never know if a certain night out will become a chapter of Sex and the City, The Odd Couple, or Law & Order.
