Dating: First Impressions and Conversational Rapport
The most important tool for making a good first impression is to be prepared, and being prepared for a date is no different. Simply being dressed nicely is not enough, it is also important to be mentally prepared.

Trulia published a fascinating zip code level breakdown of where singles live in the city.  Their findings were quite astonishing.

Apparently most single women tend to live on the Upper West Side, Upper East Side, the West Village, and the Brooklyn Heights/Carrol Gardens/Fort Green corridor.

Single men, on the other hand, prefer downtown, Jersey City, and the Williamsburg/Greenpoint/LIC corridor.

What should one conclude from all this? Sounds like the guys need to head uptown and the girls need to take it downtown.

Thanks so much to our friends at InsideHookNY for the great feature on us today! http://inhk.us/12kM7zn
