I arrived in NY, my first time in America. Jesus christ, its possibly the craziest city i've ever seen. Only been here 5 hours and ive just been in constant awe and shock at what life is like here. It's grimey, loud but people are helpful, too many crackheads, drug dealers, freaks who shout random shit in the street the list goes on and on.

Girls wise I think its pussy paradise, too many hot latinas, black chicks, white chicks - and approachable too unlike London. I did 2 approaches cos I am hella jetlagged, one in jfk and one in Jamaica subway station just to practice talking to American girls.

All im gonna say is I need to adjust, it is not really like London, I would say better so far. A lot more alpha looking dudes than London here too, its a city of hustle. I will see what ny has to offer tomorrow.

Love it. I hope to stop by NYC at least once this summer. Still have one buddy out there I still consider to be a close friend. He's pretty whipped these days with his wife, but for old times sake it would be nice to hang with him for a little bit, but also to go gaming in the big quintessential city lol.

Do girls in New York seem kind of cold to advances compared to other cities?

Potentially. Big city chicks such as the ones in New York get catcalled a lot in the streets. But there so many compartments & "cities" within the city if you will. Easier to niche out & find different vibes & scenes in such a densely populated area.

Ive only been here 2 days. Bold statement but this is my favourite city in the world. America is just insane, high energy, extroverted people, sensory overload, I feel like im in a movie. I walk into a 7 11 and they talk to you like theyre your best friend, in London i dont even get eye contact at the counter.

In 1 word, NYC is alive. Architecture is jaw dropping, central park better than hyde park. In fact 90% of things are better in nyc than London. People here are driving their big trucks bumping hip hop full volume whilst smiling, shit is just so different. Everyone has a sense of individuality, the attitude of new yorkers is awesome, some are dickheads though to be fair. I have had multiple long conversations with strangers which have been awesome.

P.S: If someone know how to get a green card easy + fast let me know

Between East Village, West Village and Soho, which would be a good neighborhood to live in for mid-late 20's, primarily nightgame but also daygame?

From other threads, I got that East Village has a huge party scene and volume, but Soho has better quality in the day and West Village (+ Meatpacking) has better quality at night.

I'm trying to pick between these neighborhoods, East Village seems like a pain to get to FIDI though (where I'm going to work)

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but all of my GC guy friends had to marry an unpleasant American woman and just survive for three years.

For two of them we actually threw parties on the day, and they looked like changed men - their smiles bigger, their shoulders straighter.

I have never had a guy friend try the ‘domestic abuse’ shortcut that GC women use to shave down the three years. Honestly it sounds like a low percent chance for a guy.

Do it young while you don’t have any assets.

Just googled Hyde Park, it does seem kind of lame but the annual amusement park it has definitely beats the amusement park in central park.

On the topic of girls a lot of guys say New York is bad for a LTR cause girls are very hypergamous there and there is so many options. In New York did you feel girls were more slutty then other places?

It depends on your lifestyle. I never really smoke pot or do drugs for example. East Village scene is more like for teenagers who have tattoo, piercing, drugs, pots etc. Girls would have purple hair or green hair, some weirdo's. But it's very easy to get laid because they're high or drunk most of the time.

I lived on/off 9 years in Manhattan and I rarely went there side but on the other hand, West Village and Soho are more posh areas of the city. A lot of fashionista's and European girls hang out there, a lot of models as well.

I lived in Soho for 2 years and then West Village around 3 years. But I have to say, rent's are almost double more in those areas than East Village for sure.

I loved this post, you put a big smile on my face and had me lost in my own memories of experiencing the city for the first time. You might think that the sense of awe would wear off over time, but it never did for me, not even after several years of living there.

Which area is a good place to stay in NYC logistics-wise and price-wise? I'm planning a trip for a week.

West Village

I think this has much to do with you and your personality. If you are high energy, happy, and friendly many people will treat you like that. Also NYC is unlike anywhere else in America so don't expect that other places (Chicago is second but still not even close).

Good point. This is probably why I always had a great time every time I visited NYC as well. I usually don't even like to step out into the streets unless I'm ready to bring that energy. And having spent a long time in Chicago in the past I can agree with you that there is no comparison really.

I don't like American style of living in general speaking, I wouldn't like to live rest of my life in any American city due to culture but New York City, hands down, actually Manhattan is the best city in the world. I could live inside of Manhattan without going anywhere, not even Brooklyn or Queens rest of my life. I lived there 9 years and it wasn't even enough for me.

Post: #344

New York is really two cities. There's one for the rich, well-off, tourists, and transients and then there's one for the middle class, working class, and poor. If you're not in the first group you get full exposure to the corruption, garbage liberal policies, and quality of life issues that actually plague the city and never get fixed. If you're in the first group, then it's really easy to enjoy the city in blissful ignorance because you'll likely be in a nice part of the city surrounded by similar people.

There's no better place in the US when it comes to seeing so much of the world in one place, and of course for variety of girls. But when it comes to living, there are better places in other parts of the US.

@rotp, very true. Interestingly this fact creates some zones of pussy arbitrage (i.e. gorgeous ethnic girls from Queens who have cars and are not recent transplants, heh).

I live well... Let's Say I'm either in or close to NYC.

I'm tied up until the end of June but after that I'm always eager to meet folks coming through after work hours or weekends.

True say, I saw Boston yesterday and am now in New Hampshire, like the polar opposite of NY. Very beautiful but as a young guy no way I could live here. NY still wins for me. Boston looks awesome and has a lot of things going on but the people are a bit colder.

NYC seemed like it had a lot of people aged 22-30 which is not ideal for me right now cos im 19. That also meant I couldn't go to any bars which looked too lit and they were packed with hot ass. Drunk girls approached me on the street near madison square garden and wanted me to go to a bar with them but I am too young.

I think my favourite thing about NY is that the culture doesn't revolve around drinking so much to have fun like in London where all my friends go to pubs. There is an unlimited amount of entertainment where you can be sober and have fun, I saw people play basketball at 2am, I saw guys doing calisthenics on scaffoldings and joined in. People just have fun with everything they do here. If there is one thing which America does better than anywhere else it's entertainment. Maybe the 21 drinking restriction is a good thing because it forces all the young guys to do other things for enjoyment rather than binge drink like they do in the uk.
