RE: Which American decade would you live in?
Reminds me speakeasy, valley girls largely don't exist anymore. That group of middle class white gentiles has largely migrated elsewhere.

For Asians, their day is happening right now...in Asia. Of course, a lot of them getting stepped on, but for the young urban dudes with the means to be upwardly mobile, right now is exactly the best era for them.
Yeah, I know that this is a bit out of the scope of this thread (seeing as how American decade was specified), but it bears mentioning for those who want to live the glory days, Asian or not.
Just discovered this yesterday, but there was an Asian sex icon in America who achieved a level of renown on a par with Rudolph Valentino, but he is largely unknown. His name is Sessue Hayakawa. If such men were more prominent, I wonder if Asian men would get laid more easily here, or if their inferior game is to blame.

I actually like Flapper girls.
![[Image: 1920-Vintage-Flapper-600x753.jpg]](http://teleport-city.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/1920-Vintage-Flapper-600x753.jpg)
Whenever I see a girl in a bar with Flapper Style, I drop what I am doing and bee-line.
Plus, that was really the first era when girls went to bars by themselves and drank and smoke.
That era would have been tailor made (so to speak) for my style of "Game Kung-Fu".
Makes me think. There must have been a radical change in game during the 1920's in big cities. Or, really, the true emergence of modern game. People were urbanizing, thus becoming more anonymous in the big community. Women going out by themselves. Marriage rates start to decline. You could easily meet strange women.
Speakeasies must have been poosy paradises.
Yeah, I don't think guys were complaining then.

RE: Which American decade would you live in?
I would really have wanted to live right around the 2000s (and have been like 20) when that whole pickup artist thing in Project Hollywood took off.
Yeah I know that's kind of shitty of me to say on the roosh forum as I think this group is overall a lot better but I would have liked to get to know those original peacockers in their prime. I read "The Game" when it came out and was pretty enthralled by the whole thing. If it was completely legit I think that would have been an experience of a lifetime.
Either that or the 1000s and lived as a viking. I read an english translation of this swedish book called "The Long Ships"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Long_Ships
and it basically molded me in my childhood from regular blond dude to the viking raider/warlord that I am today.

All of those would have been fun. I'm too damn young.
That was a fun time.
Imagine 3000 people in the California desert for an illegal party and everyone on beans.
To think about it seems like a different world. Nothing like that would even be possible today in The California Police State.
And to think that the party was put together without cellphones, texting, email, twitter or facebook.
Pretty amazing if you think about it.

It was fun as hell, no doubt. Too bad I didn't have game back then.
Yeah, that was the real tail end. It was getting way commercial, beans were of wide swings in quality, and the scene had lost its innocence. Dark clouds were coming or hovering. Bad things were happening, and Greed took over.
Swooping was mindblowingly easy back then.
Imagine a beautiful girl with pig-tails walking straight up to you and saying "Can I kiss you?"

RE: Which American decade would you live in?
G, perfect proof of your point about California as police state: The Electric Daisy Carnival, a huge rave, relocated to Vegas, because every year someone overdosed and died. It was getting too much scrutiny while happening in LA, at the Coliseum no less.
Haven't most of the raves moved to Vegas?
Perfect place to be: Esalen, California, 1960's. Hippie dippie chicks bathing in the nude, experimenting, open-minded. Intellectual giants of the generation hanging out and doing seminars. Beaches, springs and waterfalls. I'll see if I can find some descriptions.

I think the key for Americans would have been to return, discharge, then IMMEDIATELY return to Europe. France, Poland, ect. Those guys didn't really get to cash in on the spoils of war. I believe for them it was a world class poosy paradise.
Agreed Ali, and they should have fought the Russians afterwards in Eastern Europe. That generation of American men was special.
Once Japan surrendered we were unbeatable. The world of pussy would have been open to any victorious American soldier who wanted his claim.

To them, the US soldiers looked for sure like strong, exotic, handsome guys and they also contributed to liberate them from nazi-fascisms.
They had a pass to basically fuck and kill anything that moves:
Behind the lines, by contrast, sex flourished in World War II. By one calculation, the average US soldier who served in Europe from D-Day through the end of the war had sex with 25 women. The peak was reached after the surrender of Germany in 1945. Condoms had to be rationed at four per man per month and medical officers considered this “entirely inadequate.” A 1945 US army survey “revealed that the level of promiscuity among the troops was far higher than officially admitted, and rates rose in direct proportion to the amount of time the men had spent overseas.” Over 80 percent of those who had been away over two years admitted to having regular sexual intercourse. In US-occupied Italy, three-quarters of US soldiers had intercourse with Italian women, on average once or twice a month. About three-quarters of these paid with cash and the rest with rationed food, or nothing. The survey showed that fewer than half the US soldiers used condoms.10
