This guide is for visiting and local players of Los Angeles interested in day gaming. It’s not comprehensive information and is meant to evolve so feel free to contribute with your experiences and other relevant info.
I wrote this guide because a lot of travel info so far in this forum about Los Angeles has centered around nightlife. What’s barely mentioned in this discussion and what I think most guys here are missing out on, is the daytime aspect of the city.
That…and “West Coooasst!”

So I make this bold claim:
“Los Angeles is day game city.”
For the following key reasons that I’ve observed:
1. Attractive chicks from the rest of the country and from all over the world come here to try their luck in the entertainment business (among many other reasons people found their way to LA or America) so talent (literally!) is almost everywhere. Despite this, never forget that you're in an American city which means you will still encounter a huge share of fatties waddling about and bitches constantly on their phones.
2. The year-round, mostly sunny weather somehow makes people be more in a social mood. Don’t know about you, but I’m in such a mood if I don’t need to wear tight or bulky winter clothes and freeze my ass off.
3. I don’t see a lot of guys or “PUA types” doing day approaches in the places that I mention. If I see some form of it, it’s mainly “hollering” or it’s at night.
4. The “spread out” lay out of the city means lots and lots of spots to do day approaches, insta-dates, or regular dates that will exceed the number of places mentioned below. A "spread out" LA is both a blessing and a curse as I will discuss below.
#3 Might be true for any place. As Roosh writes in “Day Bang” (required reading for n00bs to day gaming) approaching girls in the daytime is not a natural thing to do, but if you combine #1, #2, #3 and #4 you have good conditions for day gaming.
I’m not a nightlife person and currently don’t have the bankroll for night gaming while sustaining my lifestyle. Recently, I’ve decided to limit my night gaming to bar/lounge/cafe/alternative dates and banging—-only after meeting girls in the day. But if you’d like some discussion about LA nightlife, here are threads to get you started:

LA Logistics:
Physically, I would describe Los Angeles as “sprawling” or “spread out” with the city further divided into mini-cities. This will play a huge role in logistics planning for your dates and venue changes.
Unless you’re concentrating in one, venue-rich, and walkable area of the city like Downtown LA, a vehicle is a must to get around this city. Public transport is ok for nearby places, but forget it if the girl mentions she’s a mini-city or two away or if you’re planning on staying up late.
Because LA is so spread out, it becomes more important to find out where the girl lives and usually hangs out. The recurring problem for the LA day gamer, other than getting rejected by girls, would be traffic and finding parking. If you’re living/staying in a certain part of LA it’s generally best if you do your approaches within a 10-20 mile radius, especially if you’re a visitor. From my experiences, about 80% of the time the girl lives within the area where you approached her. Another reason to stay within the radius is that you can dedicate more energy to approaches and narrowed focus on venue choices than walking or driving around looking for parking.
If you’re gaming/touring/staying in Downtown LA you have good access to the rail/buses that run late in sync with the nightlife. Other parts of town, keep the “10-20 mile radius guideline” in mind to minimize travel time and narrow your focus on date venues to research. More than that you risk traffic or long drives that make pussy cold. However, in the event that you made a very strong connection with a very bang-able chick you approached but she lives very far, suggest meeting up halfway then figure out later in the date who’s coming to who’s place if you go for ONS.
LA Day Banging Planning Tools
Once you know where you're staying and where the girl lives, the internet and other resources can help you find what venues are nearby (where you’re staying or where she lives) that are good for dates. The following are what I use for venue/event research or logistics planning:
Yelp.com
At the top of the page, type what kind of venue you’re looking for then the city (or preferably the mini-city) or zip code of the place you’re staying at. Take reviews with a grain of salt, some people are lame reviewers or patrons.
Google Maps
A multi-purpose tool. You can:
-Get a visual of the locations you found in your research
-Get driving, walking, or transit directions
-Search nearby places that has or serve ______.
LA Weekly
Paper’s better than online. You can get the paper version almost everywhere like groceries, liquor stores, trendy places, bus stops, and music shops. In addition to articles you can talk about with the girl and a list of events you can go to, there are also establishment reviews you can read about that might be worth checking out. Look through the events pages per your tastes, interests, and budget.
Goldstar.com
Discounted tickets to events or information on special events if you sign up.
Couchsurfing.com
If you’re a member, go to the Los Angeles County board and post your questions. Some members post events they are hosting, go to My Events section and look through nearby events hosted by members.
Your friend in LA
If you have local contacts ask them.
Metro.net
For public transport planning, but I think google maps is better.
Suggested areas to stay if you’re a visitor:
West Hollywood
Santa Monica
Downtown LA
Hollywood
These give you relatively easy access by Metro or with your car to places where visitors usually go to. They also are within reasonable driving distance to some of the places that I recommend below.
Day Game Hunting Grounds:
Some of my findings and thoughts (copied from this thread, edited for this post)
The (sad) joke that I often tell visitors if they ask what’re some cool places to go to in LA: “There’s a lot, if you like shopping.” Bad image of American consumerism, but great for banging prospects.
Female entertainment wannabees live everywhere in LA but more concentrated in the following areas, check out the shopping centres or establishments within these areas:
West Hollywood
North Hollywood
Hollywood
Sherman Oaks
Santa Monica
Burbank
Venice
Mid-Wilshire area
West LA
Century City/Beverly Hills
Entertainment also attracts a lot of gay people so don’t be surprised if some girls might turn out to be lesbians or easily abuse the “lesbian excuse” to turn you down—-it’s funny that in West Hollywood have I often encountered it.
Hollywood Blvd. is touristy, so you're mostly limited to the shop girls from clothing stores and the Fresh n Easy grocery. You'll have to hunt for locals among the tourist crowds. Tourists are nice but hard to game them if they're on "tourist mode" and they're usually in groups. Lots of insta-date places though.
The beaches are similarly touristy but I think girls are more keen to chatting if the weather's especially warm and nice. Locals are easier to spot. You can insta-date with ice cream or other snack shops then sit on the sand. Some beaches to consider: Santa Monica beach, Venice Beach, Malibu area
Runyon Canyon park -- lots of dog walkers and starlet/model wannabees doing their walks/runs and free yoga classes -- hard to game and ramble if they're focused on their workout. I haven't gamed this park in a while, but last time I did I found that asking if this park is good for walking the dog (or about the dog) and rambling about it will get you a chat with a dog walker. If they look like they're doing some intense jogging/running (LoL) forget it, but if they're just walking at a leisurely pace you can ask them about their music players (if they have one, they usually do) then ramble on.
Griffith Park -- similar to Runyon in terms of local talent doing their cardio exercises and dog walking but more tourists as they feature the observatory, horse back riding, and other family-friendly activities. Also, it's much larger than Runyon.
Glendale Galleria / Americana at Brand (malls in Glendale) -- diverse pool, but key feature: lots of Filipina and Armenian chicks. Historic Filipino Town or Little Armenia are jokes in that they each contain little numbers of the people mentioned. Burbank/Glendale/Eagle Rock area is where it’s at with these ladies (although they’re everywhere in So Cal).
Eagle Rock mall esp. at the Seafood City supermarket - Filipinas
Melrose Ave between La Brea and Fairfax - lots of restaurants, cafes, and shops, and hipster-looking girls walking around
ANY Trader Joe's or Whole Foods in the Westside of LA -- esp. West Hollywood -- lots of starlet-looking girls.
ANY Thrift Store (eg. Goodwill / Salvation Army) in an affluent neighborhood like Santa Monica or West Hollywood
UCLA / Westwood village - college girls, little shops, snack places, a Whole Foods, and hookah cafes (open late and lots of Persian bitches)
Beverly Center mall (near Cedar's Sinai hospital) and surrounding area -- shops, cafes, fast food places, the CVS, and some starlet/model-looking chicks shopping/walking around.
Future Day Game exploration (for myself):
-Need to check out Downtown LA more during the daytime
-Echo Park / Silverlake -- more hipster chicks
-Inglewood / Culver City -- latina / black girls
-Fairfax Ave (Little Ethiopia part) and Pico/La Brea area -- Ethiopian girls
-Beverly Blvd (Westside near Beverly Hills/Century city) -- hookah spots and Jewish stores
