Review of St. Petersburg, Florida


Women Beware, Great Disrespect for Females in St P
Star Rating - 8/6/2008
If you are a woman from somewhere else you are in for a shock when you arrive, This is the Bimbo capital of Florida. I am a transplant from Texas and I have never seen women treated with such disrespect as I do here. The Pros of ST Pete are it's Geography and Climate, It is beautiful here and the climate is perfect if you are heat tolerant, lots of sun and a tropical feel, the water is clean and clear and nice, Unfortuanately........ The horrible people ruin it, The men here are beer guzzling, fishing, football, Hooter guys who think women are here to ogle. They treat women like prey to be hunted and sadly the local women go right along with this mentality, when I first arrived I thought there were hookers everywhere on the streets and then someone told me that is just the way the women dress here. This is NOT a place to have children and it is not a place to be married. Marriage is a joke here. This is one of the swinger strongholds of the United States and it shows. It is truly shocking, women will walk into the grocery store in a swimsuit. There are bimbo billboards everywhere and the Tampa Bay area has over 100 strip clubs and they are mixed right in with the main traffic areas. If you want to party and be chased around by men with the IQ of a doorknob then you will like it here, otherwise you need to turn right back around.

I grew up in St. Pete, and find your comments incredibly narrow minded and insulting. St. Pete is a great place to live. Calling the population, "horrible people" is a bit of an overstatement. Yes, I've seen women walk into grocery stores in bathing suits. Newsflash: they don't live here. Obviously they are tourists. If you've lived here for any length of time you will start to be able to immediately discern who is from here and who isn't. I also couldn't agree less with the portion of the post stating that women "go right along with it." True, guys can act like that when you go out at night, but that's true in any city. The same behavior was evident in all of the places I've been on vacation with my friends (wow-including those up north). There are some nice guys and some over gelled, over styled jerks. All of my girlfriends are college educated and are definitely not appreciative when the behavior is inappropriate, nor are we bimbos. I just recently moved back after graduating from college, where I definitely missed the beach and sun. If you don't like living here move back to wherever you came from, and quit complaining about my beautiful city.

I agree. Many of the local young people have had a free ride their whole life. Just about everyone I've met from here has had everything paid for by their parents...college, cars and housing. The men are tools. They have a gym membership, a nice car and rolex but live at home with mom and dad. They're called 30k millionares. They make 30k but act like they're millionares to impress women. You can find them in hyde park. The sad thing is the women here are just as fake. "Like oh my god I can't believe he just said that". If you enjoy intelligent conversation look elsewhere. If you enjoy hearing the word "like" every two seconds this is the place for you...haha. The people here are very fake and superficial. On the bright side there are many intelligent down to earth people from up north to hang out with.
