Re: SF.
You don't like "entitled American bitches"? There's a hostel right near Market street. Foreign tourist girls everywhere.
Ruby Skye after 2 a.m. almost always has foreign talent.
Crissy Field on a Sunday afternoon is loaded with attractive, fit women.
Delores Park is a day game paradise.
Coffee shops everywhere.
Strip club game is in full effect.
Plus, guys in SF have no game.
Learn to run game in a shark tank like LA, and SF feels like vacation.
SF is awesome.

The OP got banned but I'll share my LA experiences as a guy living on his own in a studio apt, making decent change (without getting too detailed, also trying to fix my lifestyle situation), no car, and running game.
Without a car, you better be living in a nice, happening neighborhood that has a lot of places that you can go to for fun--ideally within walking distance. That means shops, landmarks, theatres, bars, clubs, coffee/tea shops places where people and especially women congregate. Why's this important? There's several reasons, but one of the major ones is the travel time/distance and the associated gas cost. Less travel time and distance means more time and intimacy with your girl, and you better believe your location is a major deciding factor (aside from your "tight game") if the girl should come over and hang out with you. On your part, it'll be a lot of work trying to figure out what good places are near that don't take too many bus/train stops and close late enough so you can catch that late bus. I've done it and it ain't pleasant riding a crowded bus on your way to a date/event all swagged up, showered, nice clothes on and you got homeless bum/sweaty laborer (not looking down on laborers now) rubbing next to you or the long wait for the bus ride home on the sketchy street on a cold, lonely night.
It's frustrating, and I echo what other LA residents have said here, that the flake factor is high because of the lay of the land and many things happening that pull people in all sorts of directions...especially pretty girls. All sorts of guys on them with all sorts of offers. If you have a plan then they have a better idea of deciding (even though I wouldn't keep my hopes up), still you set yourself apart from other guys by taking the lead. That means you better have a place in mind to take her or an activity because too much dilly-dallying on your part will also up the flake factor.
But what if, despite all the advice on this forum, that you somehow ended up in a "bad neighborhood"?
I'm a believer of turning "lemons to lemonade" and being conscious of your environment that eventually you'll find aspects of it that you might find beautiful or use to your advantage. I'm in such a situation...my LA neighborhood isn't crawling with cute, white, blondies (my favorite btw) but I see local beauties who turn me on and were pleasantly surprised that I'm in their 'hood. I go to the local coffee shops, stores, and eateries and interact with the people, who knows what connections could be made or things could happen.
LA is what you make of it gaming-wise, perhaps this principle applies to all places in the world, but location, location, location is still king in LA when it comes to getting results from running game.

I prefer SF to LA and NYC.
Choosing between those three is "what you call one of those good problems."
Really? SF girls, besides being uglier, are often the type to idolize Tina Fey, and shriek if you say anything un-PC. I couldn't open my mouth without getting shouted down. There's an awesome blog ragging on SF girls called Why There Are No Girls In San Francisco.
This is true, but the great thing about SF? The
guys are so spineless that they imitate the girls, and they too are groupthinking wusses who idolize Tina Fey. Your competition in SF is graphic artists who don't lift and read about gender theory, your competition in LA is the cast of Prison Break.

^^^ I went to Villian's Tavern last year. Interesting spot. I don't think you could possibly get more hipster than that place. Not that I mind hipster spots. That was just the most hipsterish hipster joint I've ever been in outside of some of spots in the Mission in San Fran.

Have you guys noticed that beards are becoming more prevalent these days? I've noticed it more when I go out, my friends now rock beards, and overall response I observe from girls is that they actually like the beards. Maybe it's the influx of the hipster scene, but I'm just wondering if you have notice the same in and around LA.

Yeah, I think hipsters made beards "cool" again. I guess it's supposed to be their way of showing they're to poor to shave or don't care about their look.

This is not game related but for those of you in LA, I had an amazing meal last night at a place called Animal in West Hollywood. Very unique food with the theme based on the name of the restaurant. Seriously unbelievable - my favorite dishes were veal brains, pig tail "buffalo" style and tamarind octopus. Just a tip for anyone that may visit, this is some damn good food. Hard to get reservations, fyi. Don't plan on just showing up. But it is quite the experience and the quality is top notch.

I've done some LA trolling on POF for the past week with a good looking guy showing off his 6 pack. LA girls SEEM somewhat cool (for girls), have all kinds of interests and there's lots of sexy MILF. I've never seen so many good looking rocker chicks into old school punk bands and underground music like I am (could this be my niche when I go there?). They flake real bad like everyone else has said. I was getting lots of numbers acting like I was in the city and most of them just stopped texting and talking to me. I didn't try to keep pursuing them though. This is with a good looking, tall white dude jock. I'm guessing just your looks won't cut it unless you know where to exploit it. I definitely see how you would need to find your "fishbowl" and abuse the hell out of it.
There wasn't as many girls with kids as in Houston but still a whole lot. The white girls who think "white is right" seems to be about the same as Houston POF. Everything else is the same. Nasty attitudes, princess complexes, cows, etc. Same shit, different city. White girls look better in LA. Black and Hispanic are better in Houston. The Asian chicks look like someone ran over their face in LA.
I would try to get a LA veteran to help you figure out what your fishbowl is and take it from there. I can't wait to go out there and step up to the plate.

I beg to differ about asian girls here...but I've never picked up an asian girl online. We have a huge diversity here with every country represented. I've banged hot Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, Filipina, and Korean girls here. Probably not on the same level as what I could find from their home countries, but nothing to scoff at either, and certainly not a single one looking like they were ran over.
