Yeah, no comparison.

NYC is leaps and bounds above LA on nightlife and dinning.

Hell, in LA you can't get a drink past 1:29am.

That is the point in the night when you should begin thinking about where to party.

Why do they have such an early cutoff? Is it because they don't have the ease of mass transit infrastructure that we have in NYC?

Seems unnatural to me. There must be a sick after-hours scene in L.A., right?

Only one thing needs to be said

Post: #179

LA is hands-down harder than NYC to crack. That's why you have a revolving-door of every 2 years people leaving. I knew 2 people when I moved here and both are gone. So essentially, I moved here knowing no one and have built a social circle full of hanger-ons and a handful of legit people who have my back. Guess where the people who have my back are from? East coast.

Like G-Manifesto mentioned, you learn in Cali to work quickly and smooth. Last call at 1:30am trains you to fucking OPERATE like a surgeon, read who's down and who's not with finite precision so you don't waste time, and make the absolute best of yourself because competition out here is no joke among men.

That being said, I have murdered this state since I moved here almost 6 years ago, so I must be a special breed. I was born in the south, raised east coast and Chicago and moved here 6 years ago, so maybe having to constantly adapt to new environments and subcultures helped me hit the ground running out here in LA.

I now consider myself from SoCal because it's a culture that gets in your blood and you take it with you everywhere and anywhere and you're proud to claim it. I'm not talking about the asinine laws or gov't policies here, or the high-ass taxes fucking me over; I'm talking about driving down Pacific Coast Highway on a Saturday afternoon with the sun setting, a dime beside you, the top down and enjoying life. You can have your subways and crowded streets; I'll take ocean air and models with cocaine habits trying to become the next Charlize Theron.

NYC kills LA in terms of nightlife, we can all agree on that; however if you can pull dimes in LA, then you can pull anywhere in the USA without a fucking problem. Girls here, are not impressed with a dude from NYC, but when girls visit from NYC they love us.

LA is the perfect Playboy's boot-camp. You have the highest, most entitled bitch shield girls etc. You're competing with celebs, ballers, trust-fund kids and the european import cats flaunting cash as they hop out of their Rolls-Royces.

I propose a Players Olympics. One weekend in Cali with NYC cats coming here and one weekend in NYC, with us Cali players going there.

Let the Games begin...

Post: #180

It sounds like L.A. is better for pipelining than SNL than NYC.

-Day Game
-Promoter Game
-Setting up Dates

... these kinds of slow-boil games.

In NYC, people are constantly mingling and things happen very fast. People come here to make something of themselves. They want to feel the pressure. It sounds like people go to L.A. to live in nice weather and hopefully make it big, whereas in NYC, people come to live a hard life.

There has to be grace in game. After hearing about the 1:30 last call, I wouldn't go to California expecting to pull in the same way that I would NYC. You can't crudely juxtapose something that works in one place on to another place and expect it to work all the time. Game has to be calibrated.

Post: #181

Ha. Literally every single person who has been to both and... 100% convert saying California is tougher.

Btw McQueen have you been forced to visit San Jose (Man Jose). That's the only place worse that I've seen in my life in California.

Basically all La issues, just replace celebs with Facebook fags giving out $500K to 6's and not a 7-8 within 10 miles of the city.

If you're talking about normal women like 5s and 6s, then no you aren't competing with celebrities and big ballers. It's at the higher end that such people start factoring in. At the clubs such high end women frequent, you won't get past the door unless you are a somebody, ie celebrity, baller, well-connected. This all has a trickle down effect on the local culture when you have so many men with ostentatious wealth out there flaunting it. It turns women's hypergamy into overdrive and raises the bar of competition for men in general. If you live in a place like St. Louis or Nashville and drive a new F-150 truck and have an average paying job, you're respected. In LA the same guy would be a nobody.

So don't go to the clubs where big ballers and Celebrities go to. I don't go to any clubs ever and if they have security/doorman? Not a chance in hell. It's a recipe for disaster.

So you guys want the same girls that go to clubs to meet celebs and now the entire state has an inferiority complex...

How about this..Go someplace else to meet women!!!!!!!

There's way more out on the streets than in high end clubs.

Good point, Mech.

But to be fair, most guys are talking about only LA, and even then, they are talking about only the hot white chicks.

Lets run the numbers:

LA pop. (approx): 3,792,621

% of LA that is white: 28.7%

# of whites in LA: 0.287*3,792,621 = 1,088,482

# of white chicks in LA (1/2 of that is female): 0.5*1,088,482 = 544,241

My guesstimate of % of pop that is between 18-30: about 15%

Single, white chicks in LA in bangable age group (18-30): 0.15*544,241 = 81,636

Lets say that only the top half of white chicks in 18-30 are bangable lookswise, and only the top 5% are hot chicks:

# of bangable white chics in LA in 18-30: 0.5*81,636 = 40,818

# of hot white chics in LA in 18-30: 0.05*81,636 = 4,082

I did this fast, so my #'s could be wrong, but draw you own conclusions.

Post: #188

why are you guys talking about just LA when there's three other metropolitan areas in CA (the bay area, san diego, and sacramento). I have always said to people, avoid LA, it's a dump, in all possible measures. You have superficial areas that you guys are talking about and ghetto dumps where the mexican cartels have more control than the LAPD does. in SF, it's a goldmine for day-game (sometimes, you have to have luck though, as some days, there's lots of talent, and in other days, it's lacking), and drive further north to wine country, and it's a hidden gem for day game. Night-game is horrible here, thanks to early closing of bars, and drinking age being at 21.

Seriously, even Santa Barbara is better than LA.......

I generally don't. Let's remember why this thread was created. It was to explain why a disproportionate amount of posters hail from CA(L.A. in particular though). It's generally tougher because of tough logistics, early closing times, poor ratios and a high-level male competition. That's why so many of the top players come from here.

I googled more on this topic and stumbled across this post by a woman. I've always said that L.A. is a cock paradise for any decent-looking woman.

Quote:I LOVED dating in LA!!

I always thought I was a terrible dater. Guys never really seemed to be into me. No one really flirted with me. I went on a few terrible dates and ended up getting married too young to a very undemonstrative guy. Turns out, it wasn't me... it was because I was trying to date in Boston. Truly the worst city for dating.

Then I moved to LA and a few years after that I got a divorce. One of the reasons I was with my ex for so long was because I was TERRIFIED to date in LA. I'd heard the horror stories about trying to date in LA in your 30s.

I ended up having a blast! Guys here were so much nicer than back in Boston. They paid me COMPLIMENTS! Heck, they paid for dinner (Lots of guys in Boston would say "Sure!" when I offered to pay half. On a first date. Not a deal breaker for me, but I have to say, it was nice to be wined & dined). They asked me out on REAL dates (instead of "A bunch of us are going to see a band on Friday... wanna come?"). They flirted with me! They called me right away after giving them my phone number. Cute guys!! I was seriously blown away.

I met the love of my life here (my husband) who, on our first date, showed up with flowers. FLOWERS! And he'd made a reservation at a restaurant that he'd picked out. I was very impressed, hee hee. He was (is) brilliant, funny, handsome, romantic (even after 7 years together), and apparently thinks I'm amazing! (always a nice quality in a man)

I see my much younger sister, in Boston, going through the same thing I did. She's beautiful, smart, & funny... and she keeps dating these loser guys because she's shy and they're the only ones who are asking her out. WHY?! So so so hard to meet people there. Much much easier in LA.

Yep. The biggest problem with LA is that the native white population has evaporated. However, the situation is worse than what you speak: it's only 27.5% non-Hispanic white. And another major problem with LA? It's getting fucking old. Almost 55% is over the age of 35.

Let's face it - who here likes to game anything in America except young white chicks? That's why LA sucks. You have demographics of all types of men focusing on an endangered species, the American White Female.

I don't care if it's harder - I won't be going there anytime soon. 2am last call? I already got that in Boston. I'm all set with the Sausage Coast.

By the way, the reason California's government sucks so much? It's too big of a state to manage. Should be broken down into 2-3 states and the corruption and police state aspect California would be greatly reduced.

This has been for years. My father told me, that back in the 1980s, it was just as difficult to get women in LA, especially for Mexican immigrants. Back then, even the Mexican-Americans were difficult to get for Mexican immigrants (things have changed a bit now), and the only ones who were open were a bunch of spinsters.

Like I said, CA either makes you, or destroys you. Simple as that.

Let's not get ridiculous here. I see many white men with Asian and Latina women. Anyone claiming white females have a monopoly on beauty is being straight up racist. There are hot girls here from every corner of the world. The diversity of women is one of the better things about LA, not a negative.

What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. The sad fact is that most guys drop off. The competition is too stiff.

Even I've had to step up. Hitting the gym way harder (dudes here in LA are bigger than almost anywhere), started suiting up, and push harder for lays.

I would say my "game" has improved. You become much sharper, because if you have more than 1-2 minor slip-ups, the girl is gone.

After spending about 6-months back in LA, I went to Asia (Taipei, Bangkok, and Chiang Mai) and absolutely massacred it.

LA is truly a player's bootcamp. San Jose was rough, but I still did better than LA (Asian girls love my half-white/half-asian looks).

I have been swooping almost exclusively Latinas (all over) in America (a few black girls a few white girls a few Ukrainian) since I got back from Montreal.

In California, I would swoop a mixed portfolio of white, Persian, Latina, Armenian etc (depending on where I was).

True.

...but on shows like Entourage, the four dudes only banged white chicks (mostly) on that show. Going by TV, you think LA is overflowing with hot white bitches, so many than any dude could hook up with a hot white slut if they just walk down the street.

That is false advertising.
