I've seen enough agreement that I think it's worth pointing out. The dating market for men in Toronto is terrible, at least if you're not in the mainstream attractive subset: over 5'10, have all your hair, have easy social charm and confidence. I don't know exactly why this is but anecdotally women are extremely selective and have it ingrained deeply to never settle for anything (and they're not happy about not finding "good enough" men either).
I can live with lower pay but after years of nothing but female rejection I'm really tempted to run to the US just for this reason. (Again, only anecdotally, but the way I'm treated by women in social settings is night vs day anywhere but Toronto.)
I know the places you're talking about, and I can't stand them because they're dehumanizing and hypocritical. But believe me I've looked, and in my experience a disproportionate number of these men are actually from Toronto! I'm not saying men don't feel like this elsewhere, but it was surprising to me how this city sticks out.
(Edit: I don't endorse the above article, it's demeaning and ridiculous, but I'm using it as an example of how this city often comes up in "worst of" discussions.)
