1. If you only had 1 weekend to game in Chicago (2 nights first time there), what places would you absolutely hit (day & night venues) that yield best probability for ONS?

2. Which would you skip?

3. Where would you set-up your fuckpad for optimal logistics?

4. Is renting a car an absolute must-have?



Mixx

1. Wrigleyville. This is where the college kids hang out. Go to Downtown if you're into cougars, I suppose.

2. Downtown

3. Downtown (for shopping/daygame) or Wrigleyville

4. No. Buy a metro pass. Cabs are cheap, but you meet a lot of people on the trains and buses.

went to my first chicago blackhawks game last week and i didnt realize how many gorgeous single girls come to these. was caught pretty off guard as well, but opened a 4 set of girls that sat in front of me. turns out we all went to college together.

for those of you travelers that come during hockey season, i highly recommend catching a hawks game. sit in the lower level of the stadium if you can, as this is where the most beautiful girls will be. they range from college students to cougars, so theres something for almost everyones taste there.

My bad, I think I started it when I misspelled. I can't believe I've missed all the activity on this thread.

For all the locals, the weather is getting bad but I'm still checking out different venues. I'll let you know if I find anything good.

And yes Underground is the shit if you can get in. Easiest day's by far are Sundays.

I hear V-live is ghetto. How do you fair here? Rapid fire game-break this down here although I think I know what you mean because I hear this place is big

Post: #81

V live is one of those places that seems to be hit or miss. its in humboldt park. the first time i went it was great and lots of great looking latinas were there. the second time was terrible with the hairy arm chubby type of latinas.
every good looking girl we saw was with a group that had more than 2 or 3 guys in it. IMO rapid fire is the best way to go. i avoid this place because it seems like a lot of fights could break out over who hits on whos girl.

moes cantina has been the goldmine for me. opened one girl there and got her to introduce me to 6 other girls that she didnt even know. went home with a 2 set that night.

Good Stuff here. Here's my take on the city right now:

The city is indeed high value for the single man. All that stuff is true. I'm biased, but I would daresay it takes the best of NY/LA, but strips much of the pretension and dumb s--- out of it. So there's real opportunity for everyone, not just window shopping. Sure there's not a big “model/actress scene”, but who the f--- cares? Girls are real, and approachable. Be happy with your curvy, low-maintenance 8.

Chicago is in a transition mode right now. The city used to be all work and big drinking. That's changing; the Irish/German bars of yore are slowly making way for a generation of innovative bars and lounges. And also what many people consider the best restaurants in the US (after possibly New Orleans).

I. Daygame
1)The Michigan Avenue daygame is real, as advertised earlier in the thread. Post up under the Old Water Tower, maybe by the food court by Bloomingdales as well as North Bridge.
2) Don't forget the beaches in summer, especially North Avenue Beach and Oak Street beach- they are more fun than any non -Chicagoan can imagine (I know no thinks “beach” and “Chicago” in the same thought). The two cafes on these beaches are very workable, even if the water is cold.
3)Millennium Park; tourists from everywhere milling about in one spot around the Bean. The LED fountaine have benches and women wading in water. The Bandshell hosts free concerts; the World Music Festival is especially good.
4)Dance Chicago; Free, open air dance parties all summer long; one night will be Roma, the next will be Tango, etc. On Michigan avenue in front of Chicago Hilton.
5) The secret Chicago Spot for Daygame is...the Lounge on Top of the John Hancock Building. No one takes advantage of this. There's a 1) $ Observation deck, and 2) A fancy-pants $$$ restaurant called the 95th. Don't go to either of these. Go to the (Free) Signature Lounge and you'll find every tourist and lots of locals up here drinking during the day. Easy to meet people. Lots of Polish/EE too. Thank Roosh for starting this forum.

II. Neighborhoods
Best neighborhoods for forum dudes in general are River North, Gold Coast, Lincoln Park and West Loop.
Those who pull hipster, check out Wicker Park/Bucktown/Logan Square (great neighborhoods though not for everyone) Bucktown is more refined, Logan a little more rough around the edges. Wicker Park is very “High Fidelity.”

College/frat guys stick to Lincoln Park/Wrigley, as everyone in the world knows this. Plus Public House.

III. Festivals
Chicago has tons of them, so check it out for the ethnic group/scene you like. Obviously they are daygame central, open air parties with a lot of booze thrown in. The PR festivals are fun. And about the Randolph Street festival inquiry earlier in the thread; its fun and yes, amazingly for the US, girls are more dressed up. Had a loft there and always looked forward to it.

IV. Good Resources for those visiting:
1) This is actually a really good list of bars:
http://www.chicagomag.com/Chicago-Magazi...ques-more/
2)You can check out the scene (or dumb pictures at least) for yourself at various places here:
http://chicago-scene.com/gallery/index.jsp
3)Club-type guys see this:
http://www.chibarproject.com/Features/Be...bs2010.htm

V. 46 Recommended Spots:

1) Bars/Clubs

Underground; always fun, been here forever
Millennium Park Grill; Bar underneath the Bean on Michigan Avenue. Always a crowd, often many tourist chicks. Easy to strike conversation.
Local Option; Cool Lincoln Park neighborhood bar
Jilly's; Older Rush street crowd full of funny, silly @ss stuff late at night with MILFs and Golddiggers
Charleston; Cool Bucktown Neighborhood bar
Market; New fangled sports joint in West Loop with tons of women. It's not a typical sports joint and the roof is fun.
Paris Club; New, full of wannabes, but its Chicago so attitude isn't bad. Loads of women.
Old Town Social; New fangled joint straddling preppy and beard guys
Green Mill: Al Capone's old bar. Its a hike from Michigan Avenue, but one of the best bars in world, IMO. Decent women depending on night, logistics can be difficult as no one lives close to here. Open late.
Also FYI...our legendary old 1940s-1960s club the Pump Room just reopened under Ian Schrager...so in 2012 chicks are flocking to it. I haven't been there yet.

2) Rooftops
The new scene, and worth it. I like views, but who cares; this is the new spring to fall scene and women think this is what they are supposed to do. So consequently rooftops are full of women, and that's good.

http://chicago.metromix.com/bars-and-clu...52/content

Roof at the Wit (get here early or wait a long @ss time)
Epic Sky

3) Restaurant/Hotel Bars
Tons of great bars that are overlooked IMO.

Sushi Samba Rio (obvious caiparihna-based reasons)
Roka (big lounge area)
Le Colonial (upstairs)
Potter's (Palmer House Hotel in Loop)
Le Bar My favorite spot, the bar at the Sofitel hotel. Like a bar/lounge combo with windows onto Rush st. Forget the attempt at Faux-pretentious name (always funny in Chicago)- I guarantee you its not as annoying as “Le” Bar sounds.

4) Lounges
Drawing Room; My other spot; loungue with a great, tiny bar (you'll meet everyone at it), awesome drinks
http://www.esquire.com/features/best-bar...m-bar-0611
Lumen; Funky little club/lounge in West Loop (free before 10, I think)

VI. Innovative as f--- Chicago stuff; maybe not perfect for girls (they're there), but these places as unique in the world:

1) Aviary; this is the future of the bar. No joke. If you like to drink and have an engineering degree, come here.
http://tmagazine.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/...speakeasy/

also....Violet Hour; Drinks in Wicker Park

2) Moto/ ING: Crazy @ss molecular gastronomy stuff; ING is an affordable version of the fancy stuff

3)Alinea/Next; The best, most innovative, go for it, balls-out restaurant in the US. Period. I didn't realize I was flossin' until I got a same day reservation here last year for doing some good for society s----. This s--- is insane, like eating the Mona Lisa wrapped inside the Guggenhiem Bilbao.
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/17/dining/17alinea.html
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/16/dining....html?_r=1

VII.LATE NIGHT BARS-IF YOU”RE NOT FROM CHICAGO; THIS IS IMPORTANT
because of old Chicago-style corruption, liquors laws are strange. Here's a list of the 4/5AM bars where the party continues. So the whole city is a two-tier shakeout; some will go home after most bars close, others bop over to the late night scene. So you have two shots at the title. The sloppier 5am scene can be a lot fun if you don't take it seriously. Plus this crowd is self selected as hard partiers and really drunk girls more DTF..

http://www.chibarproject.com/Features/La...Night.html

Final note; yes, we know its cold so don't come here in Winter Dec-Feb and complain like a pansy. People are cool in Chicago PRECISELY because the winters weed out the whiners. If you have specific questions ask in the thread!

Post: #83

Thanks 46

I will add a couple of places that have been 'undefeated' for me (sorry to steal your terminology gmanifesto):

1) Moe's Cantina River North - get here before 10 or wait in line. Make sure your shoes are dressy enough or they won't let you in.
2) Benchmark - Same as above minus the shoe rule. Place has a retractable rooftop for summertime.
3) Gilt Bar - Off the beaten path, but great for happy hour/after work crowd.
4) Japonais - Great restaurant that turns into a lounge/club type place afterwards. Get there before 11 and you're safe. Great ratios too.
5) J Bar - This is a small off the beaten path spot that I have on lockdown. Great music played here and the crowd is always dancing. Great place to use your dance floor game.

Can personally vouch for:
- Underground - see and be seen type place. Get there early. Pretty strict door policy
- Board Room - another see and be seen type place. Jeremy Piven spotted the last time I was there. Strict door policy as well.
- Studio Paris/Paris Club - Hardest place to get into right now IMO, but ratios favorable for going home with one or more good looking women. Can even pick up girls while they are outside in the smoking area.
- Vertigo Sky Lounge - Especially a summer joint because of the rooftop. Same deal as Roof at theWit. Get there early or wait in line and pay $10 cover. Great spot for summer.
- Market - Tipsy/drunk girls want to play table tennis every time I go here for some reason. You'd be surprised as to how easy it is to escalate with a game of table tennis.

Some good eats in the area:

- Vermilion - Indian/Spanish fusion. It's the bomb and for those who can handle some heat you should definitely give this place a try. Highly recommend the lamb chops.
- Rockit - I'm not a mac n cheese fan but their's is pretty addictive.
- Mercadito - Almost everything on the menu is great. Huge variety of salsa.
- Roka Akor - They're sushi is awesome.
- Japonais - also a good sushi joint. It's along the Chicago river, so makes for a great warm up spot.
- Hop Haus - great sliders.

Places I like to avoid:

- Theory - fills up with Indians way too fast because they all get shut out at social 25 or moe's cantina
- Anywhere in Wicker Park. I'm not into the hipster scene, but if you are you should definitely go to that area.
- V live - hate this place. Dirty looking crowd and the girls do not even begin to make up for it.
- Lasalle Power Company - If finding college girls is your thing, this is probably a good place to go. Otherwise this is 3 floors of awful music and average looking women. Bartenders have been gorgeous here though.

^^^ At350...THANKS for the Japonais tip!! Damn you know the city well. Also way to point out Vermillion; Mameet is a [email protected] Chef and sweet (she's hooked up some charities)- it's amusing to see her on Food Network. Calling all Chi-Town ballers...let's keep this thread tight.

Ive been to Chicago and live there.

The data sheet provided is accurate, but I have to say, Chicago does not have alot of hot girls, you may find the occasional DePaul University girls in Wigley area. But overall it is not a destination guys should go for. NYC, Miami, Montreal, Los Angeles, San Diego, should be your focus.

Chicago is a second Tier city, even though it is the 3rd largest city. The city has good food but is really boring.

Its more of a bar city than dance club city thats for sure. With that being said, St Pats south side booze parade coming up soon.

Absolutely true....it's the midwest magnet...if you want to live in the midwest but wanna job...you by default move to Chicago or Minny....also midwest girls are different...friendly, approachable, fuckable, wifeable, love sports, but also thicker because of the weather....so if you like thicker girls like I do Chicago is heaven but if you like those 5'7 - 100lb model types that are common in LA or Miami....you'll be disappointed..

Midwest girls are NOT wifeable... I speak from experience. They are not thicker because of the weather- they are thicker because they are disgusting fatbodies who can't stop shoveling fast food into their gullets.

I've seen some idealization of midwest girls on this board- let me be the one to bust that bubble before you guys waste time headed out there. Outside of the major cities of Chicago or Minneapolis you will not see any women dressed nicely. The uniform seems to be cheap jeans and hooded sweatshirts- snowmobile jackets or Columbia coats in the winter. If you are a white guy and you are dressed up, it will actually work against you. People will stare at you like you are an alien if you are a white guy in a suit. Possibly black or latin guys could pull off a suit but I have my doubts.

Girls have a natural Nordic beauty up until age 25 and then get fat. You will run into lots of bitchy attitude of the female redneck sort (watch trashy shows like Jerry Springer and watch how the redneck chicks act.) You will not see a lot of successful people outside of Minneapolis or Chicago, which is nice, but the women still over-value themselves even though they have nothing to offer. Women here view dressing nice as a weakness and definitely go for the redneck look.

I will, however, recommend Winnipeg. The girls there are pretty easy and better looking than the American ones. I have always done pretty well up there.

As a final warning- out of all the guys I knew in my small midwestern state, roughly 60% got divorced and received devastating financial ass-rapings. I know several guys who thought they could retire and now can't because some overweight sow dressed in a hooded sweatshirt and clown pants took all their earnings, kids, and house. I know some of you hope to find some diamond in the American rough, but the midwest is not the pussy paradise that you seek. Game there only as you pass through. You would be better off rubbing one out into a sock as you fly over the boring wasteland.

Post: #91

I never understood guys going for midwest girls here either. In my experience, midwest girls are chubby, sloppy, and uncultured. Yeah, they're friendly and easy to approach, but the benefits end there.

Post: #92

Look if your girl got fat and took your dough....that's on you son. And what does that say about your game if a chick from the middle took your nickel? How the hell do you expect to compete with the Miami/LA's/DC/NY/ATL broads who are vulture's about money?

I bought a rhodesian ridgeback to walk everyday..this breed of dog can RUN (not walk but run) 20 -30 miles everyday.....saw my girl sitting on the couch watching univision and forced her to start walking with me and the dog....now all 3 of us walk this dog for 2-3 miles everyday and when i'm out of town she walks it by herself...your girl gets fat and you watched her choke down pork grinds and chico stixs that's on you bloke...

Why are you both white-knighting for midwest girls and hating on me in one post?

I simply said I was married once and then go on to describe my observations about midwest girls in general, not just my wife. Not that it is any of your business, but we were married only 6 months before I bailed because she turned into a giant cunt, and she was one of the few skinny ones. If you have any reading comprehension whatsoever you can see that I was describing midwestern women in general and not simply the single example of an ex-wife.

As for my level of game- that is none of your business either. I was under the opinion that this forum was for people to share observations about various regions of the world- and not get hated on if they relay negative experiences.

You know nothing about me. Son.

Were two of the teams the Chicago Bulls & the New Jersey Nets? Just wondering, since the Nets finally snapped a losing streak and beat a banged up Bulls squad earlier today.

This is getting way off topic. This thread is about the city of Chicago specifically, not the entire Midwest. Having lived many years elsewhere in the Midwest, and having lived the past 6 years in Chicago, I can tell you that Chicago is not representative of what you'll typically find elsewhere in this part of the country. That is a good thing - it's way better.

What sets Chicago apart from its surrounding cities and towns is its ethnic mix. You can find pretty much any type of girl you want here. I, for one, like to appreciate the city's vast Latina population, but there are plenty of hot blacks and Asians, too, if that's more your thing. Thankfully, the sloppy hoodie look is mostly contained in the suburbs, but you will see some leakage past the city limits from time to time, particularly on weekends when the suburbanites come in for their bi-monthly taste of the "big city".

Chicago is legit. Thanks 46 for your detailed contribution to the thread. I love Le Bar and Violet Hour, but think they're better places to take a girl than meet one.

Post: #96

Pump Room is legit. Great ratios too. Girls are easy to swoop there.

Post: #97

Ah yes, forgot to mention that I also checked out Pump Room a couple weeks ago. It's a little more low-key than my ideal environment for meeting girls (i.e., there's no dancing), but it looks nice and I definitely have no complaints about the caliber of the talent. Worth checking out at least once. I went on a Friday and it was busy, but no problems entering or getting a drink.

When some of you guys say Chicago is full of fat women..you mean this kinda of phat? (as it shows on the video)

I am looking to travel around the states soon, specially to non-car cities, i am wondering if Chicago will be the ideal city for me (i love phat ass women).
