Re: NYC vs France. I'm gonna assume you're a heterosexual male. NYC is one of the worst market for heterosexual women, because 1. they outnumber guys by a significant amount 2. NYC is very gay friendly, so homosexual males are ove

I just saw this "you have to articles" thing for the first time. Is medium putting up a paywall or am I being A/B tested? Or maybe this was announced before and I'm out of the loop.
