I can't believe that this hell hole of a city made the list. I don't live in Philly, but I live close enough. One of the problems is that women has too much of the upper hand in Philly. It seems as if the men outnumber the women 15 to 1 which makes the women extremely picky and shallow. I would not recommend Philly at all for a professional or middle class type brother. MOST women here are into thugs and gritty dudes because that is all there is. If you are not 5'11 or above your chances are slim cause they are obsessed with height here and the black women all tall compared to southern women as I spent many yrs in the south. People lack class in this city. Most of the women are too rough around the edges, weirdos, or live way beyond their means. Philly is more of a womans market. If you're a BM with things going for yourself and are not too street, this is not the city to be embraced trust me.
I think the issue is that men are readily available in Philadelphia. And they are attractive. But are they marriage material? You won't have any problems actually getting a date here. But the amount of quality dates will not compare to how many times you go out. If ten men ask you out, probably one of them is worth something. You have to be willing to do the work sifting through and putting yourself in the right settings to meet the good ones. That might mean joining church, going to poetry shows, and getting involved in your local community activists groups. I've met alot of good young brothas by diversifying my interests and activities in Philly.
