Dear u/PhaseOutrageous9815,

Hello, fellow Redditor. To be honest I don't use the site much aside from seeing the current happenings around town. Normally the Maine and Portland, Maine subreddits are filled with pleas for housing, vanity license plates, and pretty sunsets, but you were different. You decided to air your grievances about the Old Port section of our city.

You say in your post (in full below) that you're here on business and had high expectations that the Old Port is fun and that people aren't snobby like other cities in New England but what you found as you say, disappointing.

You went on to not only call the Old Port "the most boring place ever" but that the only people you encountered were "old, fat, creepy guys with unfriendly bartenders" and that the only places to go were "garbage dive bars or fancy restaurants with nobody to flirt with."

You conclude your post seeking advice for, "[a]ny place to get a drink where the average age is less than 65 and MBI is less than 40?" and ask where the "good looking" people are.

My first suggestion would be to go back to wherever you came from and tell your friends what you shared on Reddit because honestly, we don't want anyone with that sort of ugly attitude here. But I understand that you're here on business so that might not be possible.

I'd like to suggest that you realize that people do not exist to serve you and your desires. Like any city, there are people of all shapes and sizes here. Many possess something you may not be familiar with, inner beauty. You likely missed out on having some great conversations out at the bars.

Furthermore, might I suggest that it was your attitude that was preventing anyone besides "old, fat, creepy guys" from approaching you? People with such a miserable Karen-like attitude often have an air of narcissism or arrogance surrounding them making them unapproachable and completely undesirable, by the sounds of your post, you fit the bill.

In short, it's not us, it's you.

If you're looking to flirt with someone go download Tinder and see if you get any matches based on looks alone.

Best of luck, hun.
