I've probably spent a total of about 5 years living in LA mostly during college, but I probably approached less than 200 girls in that entire 5 years. When I was trying to get over my severe social anxiety I used to regularly go to 3rd street to do day game, but basically that consisted of going to the Barnes and Noble and approaching one or two girls and going home. I was back in LA last year for a short time with a much better sense of game and barely any approach anxiety, but I didn't have much time and privacy to approach.
Guys always say that it is easy to find tourists on 3rd Street (SM). Is this really true? I mean it seem obvious to a certain degree, but I just can't recall speaking to more than a handful of foreign, non-American, tourists. I'm very interested in getting Flags and I love day game, so would it be worth it to make it out to 3rd street one day a week, probably on the weekend, and just try to game for like 1-3 hours? Also, can someone tell me the ideal time to be there on a Saturday or Sunday for the purpose of meeting single girls? I know 3rd street stays busy basically all day, but I feel like at night it becomes full of couples.
I will be living very close to DTLA, and although I want to spend a bit of time in the nightlife of SM/Venice and other beach cities, I don't want to drive to SM twice in one day. I'm thinking I'll just make it to Wilshire and take the bus out, reading a book both ways.
Thanks for the info in advance, it will save me many hours of trying to figure everything out on my own.

Naughty, I appreciate you trying to give me advice and I don't entirely disagree with you.
First, I wrote that I had severe social anxiety up until the later parts of college. I graduated when I was 21 and I'm 29 now. I have very little anxiety of any type with women or people at this point.
I am not trying my hand at moving to LA. I am basically doing so because I have to for reasons that I don't want to elaborate on. No one is putting a gun to my head and forcing me to go to LA, but it is my best option right now in terms of a career choice.
I agree that LA for the most part doesn't offer anything that can't be found elsewhere as far as the physical attractiveness of women. Also chances are very few people that move or live there will ever end up with the top notch girls LA has to offer.
All that being said, I think we can all agree that you tend to exaggerate about LA. I can understand or believe that it is hard to game in. I can even accept that it is the hardest major city in America. The thing is that I've lived there when I was socially anxious and knew next to nothing about game and I still managed to get laid. This was also before tinder and the girls were at or above the 6 range and they weren't social circle or college lays (except one).
Look, LA is a huge city, the second biggest in America. I highly doubt if a guy does 300 approaches on average in a month and has decent game he can't get with 3 new girls a month on average. If that doesn't happen I am pretty sure it is the guy. I've gotten more lays in Iran with absolutely no online game in three months than you have said you've gotten in this thread from being in LA for closer to a year doing both online and real time game. I highly doubt that LA is as hard as Iran, and as far as I know I am the one that has spent time in both places.
I've actually been thinking more and more that depending on how life goes for me in the coming years I am going to make an effort to move to NYC, but we will have to see.
At the very least I will take game in LA like a training ground. If I can battle through LA and hold my head up then everywhere in the US should be easy mode, right?
I feel like you are the type of guy that does the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and expects a different result. You seem like a solid guy as well, but I really doubt LA is hell in the sense that you've described. I will report back on my opinion once I hit the ground and get some results, or lack thereof.

The thing about 3rd St Promenade is unless you have logistics to close them, you might be investing a lot of time only to get a flaky number and my personal past successes in LA have been off of instapulls/instadates. Unless you live by there, the ROI isn't there vs say a college campus during lunch hour or even the hospital areas in front of UCLA in WestWood. There's some streams for you.
Be careful of the ego boost phone #. If you previously had approach anxiety, it might be easy to just want to get a feel-good interaction with a cute female. Instead, go watch a sales movie like Glengarry Glen Ross or even Boiler Room. Nobody gets paid for just having a nice conversation with potential leads. You only rewarded with RESULTS. So unless you can bang em, what's the point of the time investment.
One area I just discovered this past weekend is Abbott Kinney on weekends. When I mentioned this to my friend who's originally from LA, he said it was a "gay area" I'll tell you this. For you guys who love white girls, time to put on your rainbow flag shirt because there were several hot looking blond white girls there. I was actually on an instadate from Venice which is near there so I couldn't actively hunt but I did put it on my "streams" list for further exploration in future.

A lot of ppl have ragged on Naughty for his pessimistic opinions and I agree they're negative and not helpful BUT..
Take emotion out of the equation and approach it like a business.
If you have ever been in Soho in NY, Kiev in Ukraine, Tokyo in Japan, YOU WILL find 90% less attractive women in LA in any concentrated area as it's so damn spread out in my opinion so prepare for it. This target market will have more supply of dicks in their face and thus will influence their behavior. Let me give you a real life example. My ex is used to wearing heels and dressing fashionable. For attractive girls, this is normal, no big deal. Suddenly she's walking down the street in the Valley and cars are beeping the horn at her, random guys who walk by her scream "nice ass" A year later, she's wearing sweats and putting on less makeup. As much as we blame the girls, it's really us dudes who fuck things up and it comes down to supply/demand economics and also cultural differences as certain prevalent cultures do not have as much femininity.
If you've only lived in sausagefest areas, you will probably really like it in LA and will think Naughty is overreacting. It's all perspective.
I personally believe in positive thinking and making best of situation to find solutions but unless one absolutely has to be in LA, or even California really, I recommend other cities for any male with high sex drive.

I know there are tons of areas to day game around LA, but I was asking specifically about foreign girls on 3rd street. I know very well the difference between an approach, a number, and an actual lay. I just would like to meet foreign girls visiting LA in high numbers if possible. I will be doing the majority of my day game near where I live which will certainly keep me busy, but I doubt I will be meeting foreign girls there regularly. I am turning into a flag hunter and I know LA will present me with many options that I didn't previously have. I was just wondering if 3rd street was a good option for flags.

Absolute bullshit.
Literally all my dates start at dive bars, I've pulled from divebars, banged outside dive bars, and I'm talking in the suburbs far away from LA.
Girls love it, it's small, cozy, low music, and a bit dark and moody (the good kind).
It's cheap, easy to kino, easy to interact with, usually their is pool and darts. Perfect for a first date or to play girls on teams if you have a wing.
I've seen all kinds of girls hangout at dive bars, it's actually TRENDY to go to dive bars in LA. Los Feliz has a bunch of those hipster dive bars for example.
College girls love it because it's cheap as well and they travel in packs, there is the rare occurrence a single girl goes out to her local dive bar, which is a good sign for you.
Do your research, start with your iPhone and search dive bars, check out the yelp reviews, find out their events (happy hour/college night/dollar beers) etc.
I live for dive bars !
(06-21-2017 03:37 PM)kaotic Wrote: Never said that, but your opinion on dive bars don't hold any water.
Dive bars are usually chill and relaxed - depending on your definition.
Who said you had to go anywhere ?
I said DO YOUR RESEARCH - you know, as in find some close to your locale? - you can apply that anywhere.
Stop being angry and defensive - you sound like Naughty By Nature right now.

So there are no dive bars in LB?
Are you blind to what I'm saying ? I said your LOCALE.
Dive bars are anti logistics ?
You've been in LB how long and never found any good ones ?
Alex's Bar for one is a famous one, along with being a venue, V Room, Stache bar, those are just off the top of my head I frequented.

^^There's your quote - "slum" "commiserate" are used in a negative context, which means you shouldn't go there.
Hench why I said that's bullshit.
Next.

Went out last night with my neighbor for the first time in a while. I've been trying to control my drinking and focus on school and work so haven't been out gaming much.
Started at Agaves which is not my favorite spot because I think it has a shitty lay out and there are better options but I may give it more chances. The fact it has a patio where you can smoke and do approaches is a big plus. Loud clubs without any area conducive to conversation and approaching without dancing are not my favorite.
We went out with his ex and her friend in downtown Long Beach. I approached a couple black chicks and they ended up being Swedish Nigerians... I ditched my neighbor and the 2 girls we came with for 10 minutes to try and see what was going on with the Swedes.
One was lightskinned and one was dark chocolate and they had funny accents. Both were several inches taller than me. I got one girl's number cuz she found out I was Nigerian too and she for some reason loved that. The light skin one. Also when I first approached them and they said they were Swedish I greeted them with a "skol!" and they were hooked after that. They were asking if I spoke Swedish and I told them some other Swedish girls I had met downtown had taught me.
I caught the dark skin one walking by the bar and I had to leave and ended up kissing her. First time I went in she shied away and the second time she kinda giggled and gave in and kissed me back. Then I dipped out cuz I had to wingman my neighbor and they wanted to go to a gay bar lol. Plus I got her number for whatsapp.
Then we went to the gaybar and hung out before coming home. Unfortunately the girls we rolled with left right away cuz they had work in the morning. Then he invited two more chicks over, one of which I'd already banged several times.
I then got too drunk and coked out and made an ass out of myself and blacked out and woke up in my room.
For some reason I've met quite a few Swedish chicks visiting Long Beach though I do know there's a somewhat popular English school for Europeans here in downtown. I've met Swedes, Danes, French, and Swiss chicks down here on random occassions. Also didn't know there were so many black/mixed Swedes.
