Gorgeous single women are ditching the Manhattan dating scene in droves \u2014 and are increasingly looking for sex and love in the suburbs.<\/p>\n
Some of the city\u2019s most eligible bachelorettes told The Post the trend developed when they grew fed up with immature city men who aren\u2019t willing to commit.<\/p>\n
Instead, the women would rather hop on the commuter train to Westchester County, Greenwich, Conn., Nassau County and New Jersey hot spots that are now teeming with available mates.<\/p>\n
\u201cGreenwich guys have gotten a lot younger,\u201d said raven-haired Megan Glynn, 30, who lives in the East Village and is a visual-presentation coordinator for jewelry company David Yurman.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt used to be all families, but now it\u2019s more of a business mini-mecca.\u201d<\/p>\n
Women like Glynn took the advice of dating experts, who for years have been telling city women to look in the suburbs.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you look, you\u2019ll see these single guys advertising online, \u2018Come out here, come date me,\u2019 \u201d said relationship expert Heidi Banks.<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t just look at the radius of NYC. You don\u2019t know who you are going to meet outside of the city.\u201d<\/p>\n
Glynn often takes a 30-minute ride on Metro-North after work on Wednesdays or Thursdays to meet mature men with established careers at banks and hedge funds.<\/p>\n
Most New York men, she said, are too obsessed with appearances.<\/p>\n
\u201cGuys in New York City are constantly emasculated when they have to buy a bottle to get into a club or they take a girl back to their apartment that they share with five other guys,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
It also helps that there\u2019s less competition.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s not a lot of attractive females,\u201d Glynn bluntly said about Connecticut clubs.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you\u2019re smart and witty and you go out to Greenwich, you can do well.\u201d<\/p>\n
On her most recent trip last Wednesday, she settled in at the waterfront restaurant and lounge L\u2019Escale.<\/p>\n
She quickly found Doug Bookbinder, a 28-year-old finance entrepreneur.<\/p>\n
The two flirted on a bench and later exchanged phone numbers.<\/p>\n
\u201cEverybody\u2019s doing it,\u201d said Anna Rothschild, an Upper East Side divorcee in her 40s who takes a car service to Greenwich several times a month.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have friends who go up there all the time for drinks after work,\u201d she told The Post at Greenwich hot spot J House last week. \u201cThere\u2019s so many guys! I don\u2019t know which way to look,\u201d she said, settling down for the night with Tim Mehnert, an actor and model.<\/p>\n
Another professional woman said she goes to the suburbs because the men are \u201cpreppy, not pretentious.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cUgly guys in Manhattan, they think they\u2019re hot stuff,\u201d said Robyn Kassner, a 35-year-old owner of branding firm Haute PR who lives on the Upper East Side.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn Connecticut, they\u2019re just very normal, very sweet, very unassuming. They don\u2019t have game. They\u2019re steak-and-potatoes American. They don\u2019t care about fashion, they\u2019re not metrosexual,\u201d said Kassner, who hopped on a train to Stamford, Conn., on July 12 for an outdoor concert featuring alt-rocker Matisyahu in order to meet a decent guy.<\/p>\n
High-end matchmakers said it\u2019s a matter of time before heading to the suburbs is no longer considered a trend \u2014 and becomes the norm.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t see it going away,\u201d said Bravo\u2019s \u201cMillionaire Matchmaker\u201d Patti Stanger.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe men are not in the city; they\u2019re buying houses in a down economy. If you want to get married, you have to go to where the men are. You have to think: location, location, location.\u201d<\/p>\n
Where the boys are<\/p>\n

In my opinion, they are the same everywhere. The key is to find a man at the right time: when he is ready for commitment. It doesn’t matter whether he is in the city or the burbs. That is the way it is girls!<\/p>\n
