Man, tbh it probably would be cheaper to do P4P than deal w/LA nightlife. I've been adding up costs and its fairly shocking.
I wonder what your guy's average nights out are? Mine range in the 60-150/night (parking, cover, drinks, bribes, light food, etc). I'm barely drinking as well. Goodness, if i was going hard on drinks (and buying drinks indiscrimantely for girls) each night would be in excess of 400 dollars.
Spending more than other cities, but pulling way less.

TBH seems like the only way to survive in LA is to do day game (Observation from many visits + lived in SoCal 7 yrs ago.)
I remember walking to the gym with a forum member and based on the looks girls would give it seemed promising.
The whole drinking scene out there is tough though, not a ton of fun spots to hit up.
Will trust the guys in the bunkers and line of fire though.

$10-20 for drinks, $0-10 for parking, ~$5-10 for gas, maybe $5-10 for street eats.
Oh, I was out in Culver City the other night, the scene there is fucking terrible. Rush St and Carbon, at least.
Where are you spending 10-20 dollars for drinks? Cocktails are 12 bucks everywhere I've gone. High-end cocktails are around 15-20.
Are you only buying 1 drink?
2nd the culver city nightlife. Its terrible and why is there a line at Rush. There is nothing of note there. 1 redeeming factor of Culver City is the dope food.

One of my friends texted me earlier that "Brick and Mortar" in Santa Monica on Main Street was really good during the daytime today. i'll have to check it.

As a longtime resident here, I have to agree with the fucked up logistics, the terrible traffic and the general isolationist culture that comes from always being stuck in our cars... but there are some pretty good niches that haven't been discussed here. If you're focusing only on Santa Monica, Hollywood and WeHo, it's almost definitely going to suck if all you're going for is the bottle-blond ice-queen types... unless you're somewhat famous or super connected.
Granted, I primarily like dark haired girls (Asians, Latinas) and have always found certain ethnic pockets to be very receptive of outsiders... There are areas in Ktown where all types of people congregate like the super clubs (Vibe, Velvet Room), same with certain bars/lounges in the San Gabriel Valley for American born Viets and Chinese (Entrance Lounge). Alhambra and Glendale have some decent Latino-themed nightlife and like another poster remarked, it was more of a sincere "What are you doing here?" vibe than anything else. Yeah, there are a lot of baldies there (sometimes it looks like that unfortunate scene in Training Day where Ethan Hawke is about to get blasted) but I've found that they've never bothered me.
I guess you're sorta assed out if all you like are blonde white girls, but I've found the above tactics to actually work pretty well with those two demographics.

LA is no longer worth it because although the obesity epidemic hasn't fully hit, the girls are a lot chubbier than they used to be. Even in the past 5 years you can notice a difference.
Lots and lots of chubby undergrads.
A lot of girls are wearing those Toms shoes, too.
A girl in Toms shoes with chubby white calves is about as big of a turnoff as you can imagine.
Oddly enough, some the hotter girls are the older ones. They go into husband hunting mode, actually go to the gym/do yoga and take care of themselves. Many 26-32 year old women have tighter bods than the undergrads.
Dark times, men, dark times.
Since the state income tax is outrageous, the roads are garbage, and you can get a jay walking ticket for walking when the "don't walk" is flashing (not even joking) and now handicap parking space tickets are $750...It doesn't make much since to be here.
Even 2 years ago I was very So Cal. Now I'm planning my exit.
