We recently published a Comment of the Day in which one reader described why she thinks Denver men suck -- and seconds later, comments began to accumulate in a big way. Some folks agreed, others didn't, and this writer divided dudes up into a handful of categories, not all of them flattering.

Drew Aslin writes:No, the reason you can't find a relationship is because Menverites just can't commit. In a way, Denver is essentially the after-college college town. Boys either just wanna get drunk and fu*k any Bimbo Barbie in LoDo (seriously, ignore them anyway if they have no dignity in who they bang), extremely career oriented (very passionate about their work, which is a VERY good trait, but then they don't have time for a lady), or they're about to move out of state. Or they're socially awkward techies who don't understand the concept of real life human communication. It's as simple as that.
