Montreal vs Toronto: which has a better dating scene? 

True story. My gay brother from Toronto-very shy guy- visited Montreal one time and he ended up sleeping with a girl he met in a bar. I suppose he was really drunk but it tells you something about the friendliness of Montreal girls. Then he went back to Toronto where all the stuck up girls live and he is back to being gay again.

Grew up in Montreal and Toronto and I know both cities very well... Montreal hands down.

Hi, to the people saying hurtful things about French Canadians. I`m sorry you had a bad experience in Montreal or within Quebec. I promise that if you approach French Canadians with kindness and try your best at using as much French as possible, they will do the same curtesy to you and try their best at English. or politely tell you that they can`t speak it and express their sadness at not being able to communicate with you. I think this video was interesting and I think that varying opinions are normal. Let`s not try to bring each other down, but lift each other up. Take care, a French Canadian

this so true girls in Toronto will straight up just ignore you when you try to talk to them.

I live in Toronto and visit Montreal from time to time, part of the issue with Toronto is that a large portion of the people here simply can't afford to live here. As a result they work excessively and stress over their career aspirations practically all the time. When money is on your mind often and you're stressed dating isn't a thought. I will move to Montreal when I have some more work experience and graduate, I want to work to live not live to work.

Did you know that it is illegal to make eye contact with a Torontonian woman? Not really, but it seems like that.

im a guy and i live in montreal and i find we just dont care to be rejected .. we are just social and always ready to make new friends

Hey guys, Thanks for commenting on the video. Let me know if there are any preferences to the topic of the next episode!

I am European and after speaking to a french Canadian I was really surprised that they are still pretty much Europeans... in terms of mentality.

Props to the Brazilian guy for singing the girl from Impanema at the end of the video :)

If you have lots of confidence you can do things like approach strangers, it's a great thing to have, and you can have a lot of fun with it. But if you've been single for a long time, it can be difficult to be confident. It can gradually chip away at your self-esteem if you're not careful.

Thanks Marina for the opportunity to be in this video. I am so proud of the fact the we've reached over 100.000 views. Based on the number of people who watched this video I can tell that It is clearly a challenge when it comes to dating women in Toronto. I am also happy to know Marina and I could give a contribution bringing this delicate topic to more people's attention. I am flattered with the words of many folks including the gay community lol . Thanks again and have great day.

Thank you for making & posting this video. I am a francophone female from Montreal and moved to Toronto 10 years ago. Watching this reinforced some of the feelings that I have been trying to figure out for quite some time. As much as I dislike generalizing and I would have been the first one to challenge this topic a few years ago, but I must say, without getting in too much depth, I must agree and think there’s indeed a difference in the social dynamic and the way people interact way people interact between the two cities, applying to both singles and non-singles.

Well with Montreal being a well-known party/festival city I'm not surprised people there are more sociable ;)

Thanks for making this video. I enjoyed this greatly!

Montreal hands down. As someone who moved from Australia to Toronto, it's incredibly difficult to meet women here. All it took was a few visits to Montreal, and other cases from my Toronto friends who actually have girlfriends in Montreal, to convince me that Montreal is a way better city to be single in. The first guy at 1:38 and 6:30 nailed it too!

Loved this. Not that I am looking for anything like this right now ... but the way the whole conversation was handled was very nice.

Anyone who knows both cities will say Montreal. The women here are so nice and incredibly beautiful

If not for their horrible winters, I would have moved to Montreal a long time ago. Everyone and their pet animals are more approachable and sociable in Montreal and they also dress impeccably well. As this video also indicates, Toronto is likely one of the worst places to live for traffic, congestion, commuting, dating, mingling, socializing, scenery, auto insurance prices, and a number of other things ad nauseum. Although I am sure there are occasional exceptions, flirting with a woman in Toronto (or attempting to) will often be received as if the guy has some sort of mental disorder. I am born and raised in Toronto but now live in Vancouver where I am much happier living in a smaller city with a more laid back west coast lifestyle that also features better climate, weather, scenery and outdoors. There are also fitter, better looking women in Vancouver and women tend to outnumber men, but that being said, the dating scene can be difficult. There are likely multiple reasons for this but one reason is the Asian and South Asian-dominated cultural demographics here. Many Asians tend to look for partners (men or women) and social company within their own culture. That is just a fact of reality. You can still meet people in Vancouver, but you will definitely have to be proactive in getting yourself out there and get involved in sports or activities you enjoy doing so that you can meet people through those avenues. Also, do not be afraid to approach women in Vancouver exuding some class and confidence...they are not used to it and are often surprised by it but they will usually be open enough to engaging in conversation with you (as opposed to Toronto women). Meanwhile, it should go without saying that Montreal women are the gold standard by which all women should be...

Thanks Jeffrey! Keep watching:)

I lived in Toronto a little while but found the people more or less shallow and boring. I should have gone to Montreal. They seem a lot cooler

That's why I am going to live in Montreal

Montreal-friendlier, beautiful women,great restaurants, spectacular architecture,& the Habs. Toronto- unfriendly,uptight women, smelly reatsurants, eye sore architecure, & the Leafs......nuff said

awe! the lil clip at the end made me smile:) Arthur you are a charmer ahha cheers from montreal

Sorry to say but Canadian girls... just as cold as the winter here

Very nice video!!! Really funny and true. Can't wait to go to Montreal !!!!

i'm brazilian and i really wasn't expecting to hear garota de ipanema in the end, i was like "wtf... really??? that's awesome!"

08:00 "We are very specific in what we are looking for so we are not really open to anyone who approaches us!" -Marina: And WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?? -'That would be a good question!' umm. is it only me or i think thats very ****ed up!

Great video again, Marina! I'm always a bit worried when I see another Montreal vs. Toronto article/video, since they're often pretty biased, but I think that this one has a great core message. Although it sometimes seems like in Montreal the guys simply have to sit around for a few minutes for the girls to approach him (which is certainly not the case), it's true that people love the 'joie de vivre' and are more approachable and sociable with random strangers and like to be themselves in the open (as shown in the introduction around 1:00 - 1:10). As for Toronto (and the rest of Ontario that I've visited for that matter): I think it's more the politeness that prevails rather than the kindness. I usually feel interactions are more from a facade than from the actual person. It takes time to get to know someone as to where in Quebec you'll figure out very fast what the person actually thinks/feels/intends. Keep also posting the videos on the Montreal CS page, they seem to be popular! ;-)

This is a great video. Well done.

And I like how u put your heart and efforts in this video.

this was really funny, few times made me laugh really hard. thanks for the video guys !

As a Québécoise that lived 2 years in Toronto, I can assure you, everything said here is true. p.s. It was very easy for me to date in Toronto when guys heard my French accent...

Really awesome short. :)

I loved this post! ❤️😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

What's the name of the tune that plays in the beginning? I heard it on the radio today and can't get it out of my head!

I totally agree with the guy at 6:35 In Toronto there is lack of trust and everyone has their guards up…

Hello , thanks for your videos! Could yu recommend an app or website to keep in touch with canadians?

"social lubrication". i am so copping this. thank you, random blonde girl

Wow the Ending was epic was that guy singing the Girl from Ipanema?

Great vidéo! How's the dating scene in Québec City??

because of this video i feel i should go visit montreal because the girls i heard in montreal are very good looking and are nice and easy people to approach. well some of them lmao

Montreal is a better city not gonna lie I was born there and it's my hometown and I respect it.

It's funny how the presenter rejects one of the most open and social boys she meets, something quite incongruous on her part. However I am very pleased to see how he simply does not waste his time with her and continues to know more people, it is good for our societies that there are open and communicative people

Montreal vs quebec city is the more fair comparison...

amazing video guys.

Please, could you do similar posts comparing other cities of Canada?

I find cities with the largest commute times also have "colder" people. People just become very used to ignoring everybody else.

"make a damn move, someone has to" LOL

That's it... I'm moving to Canada! Great video btw!!!

In this video you mentioned the 'bro factor' what does adopting the 'bro factor' mean?

lol im moving back to Toronto from Atlanta Georgia on Saturday. Ive been in Atlanta for 10 years... Im kind of scared to go back to Toronto... lol

The problem with lowering your guard and doing a move, for the genuine guy at least is that the amount of time he got hurt along the way, the strength to still keep at it is almost synonymous to madness. Though taking your time and be genuine all the way like that guy in the hoodie said, is truly the key to great encounters in general and be it guys or girls ( Friends wise). Evidently, at that point , your perspective of life will be different and even if you got hurt in the past, realizing your current life and future decisions will be of course molded by your previous experiences, but will still ultimately be NEW experiences. Thus learning from your mistakes , live on . The right woman will come and that's that. It'll be worth the wait, that's what I say. Of course my comment is enormously based on personal experience, so it might not be as universal as initially intended.. Woops lol! :) Lovely video nonetheless, you just won a subscriber ! Cheers, from Montreal ! :)

MONTREAL IS REALY A VERY NICE CITY,,PROUD TO LIVE HERE,CIDADE MUITO LIMPA

so great subject...plz keepGoing

To normal hetero men only: Toronto is an internment camp designed by and for corporate drones. A city filled with ennervated, edgy, and emotionally damaged people who happen also to be too guarded to even want to expand their social circles. The people who do best here are the immigrants who bring an entire entourage of fellow nationals and who just want to settle down and start a family. The big city lights of the city will get old quickly (especially because the city itself is rather drab and conservative) so it will be the impoverished social climate that will begin to weigh on you fairly quickly once installed here. If you stand to earn major coin, then T.O. might be worth a little bit of the your sanity, otherwise do yourselves a huge favour and don't fall for the hype about the place. The city's a big fat ZERO. There are so many other places, with better weather and social climate than Boronto.

Hi Beyond, i am Dominican and i love all canada. Forguives my englis, i need practice jejeje. Okay, i liked your videos and use them to learn more about Canada and practice my englisd. Continues with yours videos because i love them. :)

This video is so deceptive. I live in Toronto now but I lived in Montreal for 10 years and let me tell you, it was not easy to meet people there. Yes, Toronto is not an easy place to socialize but neither is Montreal. Canadians, whether in Vancouver, Halifax, Toronto or Montreal are SHY. We are very timid to approach people, so if you have nerve, you do well but if you're shy, like most people, it won't be easy. I still have good friends in Montreal and they are all single and looking. In fact, I have one friend in Montreal who has been alone and single, since I've known him. (over 20 years) He is too shy to approach anyone and nobody ever approaches him. He's lonely but what can you do if you're shy? Even internet dating is not working for him. People on internet sites are impossible to deal with. To pretend it's easy to meet someone in Montreal is rather deceptive. It's not about the city, it's about YOU and your self confidence. If you have nerve, you will do well in both Toronto and Montreal. If not, sorry but you are SCREWED! Get over your shyness, CANADA!

If you guys have the chance, go for a Latina or Eastern European girl, i do not think i need to explain much about it.

06:50 and 07:56 pretty much sums up what most of Toronto and the greater Ontario regions. They aren't open to meeting new guys outside they're circle but if you happen to isolate one of those girls and get her on a date one of their "friends" will definately sabotage any chance of success due to spite or jealousy. They also want a high end man with good looks and who is well off yet have very little to offer themselves. Montreal all the way they pretty much let you know they're interested 😉

thank you for this=)

I visited both cities 2 years ago. As i tourist from mexico I realized that Toronto is like a southern city in usa and Montreal as a european.or northen city in usa.

"The social lubrication" hahahaha

Loved this video.

if what i'm learning about Toronto ladies is anything to go by then something drastic and concerted has to be done. So many people can't be saying the same thing if it's not true. I plan coming to settle in Canada in the near future and i may have to dump Toronto for Quebec even though i've sworn never to live in any non English speaking area after my frustrating stay in mauritius where you meet a very cute lady and she gives you the green light only to learn that she doesn't understand a word of English. I'm relieved to learn that Montrealeans(or whatever they go by) are billingual. Though i'm learning french too. I hope it comes handy. Merci beaucoup.

montreal >>> toronto

Toronto has a dating scene?

I got to the part where your Brazilian friend asked for that French girl's Facebook. That's my message to him : Good Job mate, she had sparkly eyes and had decent clothing taste too. Hats off :) Off to continue watching ! Dating Beyond Borders

"make me laugh" what am i?? a clown :D geez

I would love see this coparison with Vancouver!

Montréal bien sûr. Les anglophones sont frigides et prudes alors que les francophones sont ouvertes d'esprit. Vous pouvez fourrer 10 fois plus souvent avec une francophone qu'avec une anglophone ;)

I have met girls from Montréal in Toronto and they were more friendlier and approachable than Toronto girls, but harder to close the deal. Its based on experience really, and who you meet.

I'm British and I want to live in Montreal now

must admit the Cuban guy is a great lover!

Montreal girls can be super open, but for some reason, I find the French Montreal girls to have more attitude (especially the younger girls), though they tend to be easier if you break the barrier.

Personally i live in Montreal and i see is not quite true what your show reporting. Yes is intercultural but people trend to be conservative and stereotyped. I feel also lonely when i try to talk with people they try to put me as ethnic group to focus their thinking and since I'm a mix of three culture Quebec, Salvador and Haiti ( I'm a half Salvadorians / half Haitians but i born here) sometimes i wondering if people here are really open- minded. I wish you guys could interview me about the subject because a lot guys feel the same way here.

Guy had no fucking game at 5:13. She was clearly interested

on parle français à Montréal gang!

Ciao Marina. I like very much the timbre of you female voice :o)) Personally, I have lived first in Montreal, then I moved to the suburbs of Toronto. What can I say ..... I'll say not too much - - - - In my opinion, it is a matter of a Good Luck !!!! Honestly, I think so .... :o))

And Ottawa?

this guy with blue T-shirt is the best ahahha

I would say Montreal. People are very nice there. People from Toronto are not nice they are very rude

I lived in both....I like Montreal better!

Montreal, Nice city for real

I’m surprised to read so many bad comments from Torontonians who dislike their own city. Now I understand why Toronto is the unhappiest city in Canada.

Jesus the audio is high in the mix :^

9:05 so cute 😊 Go girl! What you are saying is so right!!! Love from Russia!

The guy at @3:53 is legend.

Funny part of video about Toronto at 1:42.

FUCK i want to go to Montreal so bad, but cant speak French :(

I love the nightlife in Toronto., great coffee houses.

that Italian girl tho

I'm moving to Montreal in less than 2 weeks and honestly, I'm shitting breaks because apart from being Spanish (which I can speak English but i have a huge accent), I don´t know a word of french.

good musical taste!

Especially in a city like here in Toronto - dating in the pre-corona world was incredibly tough. Most of the women in Toronto don't appreciate men coming up to them and trying to start a conversation. I moved here 6 years ago and I can say it hand in heart. Thanks to Covid ,the masks and social distancing - Dating now is further complicated more than ever. I wouldn't recommend moving to Toronto if you would like a decent dating life.

Anywhere is better than Toronto when it come's to women. On the other hand, countless women of colour say they LOVE Toronto. Men from all around the world are shocked at the attitude of women here.

can any one help in finding part time job. without french

4:13 It works I get soo many Dates! I'm sold buddy

Interesting video

south america,Asia and united kingdom, best places to socialize party and keep a friendship or find love. this places on the video is like going to new York or California. the more money u show the easier social experiments turn.
