The Toronto scene is about subcultures and social groupings. The "Hipsters", the "Rockers - subset of hipsters", the Yuppies, etc. Once you know your grouping you prowl through that subset. Outsiders can have great difficulty penetrating the scene, but the same can be said for white male outsiders.
Yes there is truth to this but you eventually end up in a trap. See Toronto is not really all that big. Aside from the forgetful faces that stream in from the suburbs you really get a good idea whom the "usual suspects" are in steady time. I found that once you find a sub-group and the connected social circles you eventually get boxed in. The women are dominate in the circles and reputations matter more to them then dick. I burned mad bridges because I was fucking around in sub-sets not really giving a fuck (this is in my honeymoon period). Even thought the women showed me interest still they all eventually stone-walled the pussy from me. I bounced. They (females) set the rules in those groups, dudes can get by bringing in new meat but eventually those girls get rooted out or absorbed in and again.. you get stone walled. Plus you have to keep up with the Jonesses like females. The "high status" dudes that I do know are twitter whores and are constantly on their phones like women, having to keep up with non-sense and gossip of the scene. The only dudes whom are truly free are the dudes whom are doing really big things but even that none of them are cleaning house on the women front and just have some nice decent girls on their arms. I found it was to much effort to put in for people I did not give a fuck about lol.

If you want prime rib pussy having your shit in order is always priority number one. A good steady income, sharp dress style, looks, and a respectable spot downtown, preferably a condo, bachelor will suffice.

PS: And be prepared to be in debt! Everyone in Toronto in the 20-30s is knee deep in it. Lizards will talk about their student loans till you fall asleep. I usually like to hit the clubs around tax returns time as lizards are down to party hardest then.
A spot Downtown helps a lot. Logistics burn me so much since I live on the Eastern Side of DT and I can't really bring broads back to my spot in general. But I don;t agree with the other stuff eternally. I can pick up women in the City in my shitty Chuck Taylors and a 15$ shirt I got on sale from H&M. Going for the 'Trifecta' of clothes-condo-cash/car just makes you live every other dude I find. Proof of this is the one time I went to Bloke and 4th solo and the dude I befriended at the bar was rolling in cash and had a 700$ Bar tab. End of the night he ain't get shit and I at least got a makeout while only dropping $28 bucks.
Yonge and Eglinton is full of 32-35 year old balding Men whom we're duped into thinking Women would fuck them if they got these things. It does not hurt to have these tools but I don't think bangs are dependent on them. Because once you do get those tools you just get a bunch of broads whom cling on you to use you for shit "oh lets go pre-drink and kosko Condo... let kosko come and pick me up" etc. Maybe this broad will suck you off once or some shit or let you fuck her once but they string dudes along using them for all types of shit - I ain't trying to be that.
I have learned that just having a pad in a prime location (off King W, Queen W, College, Ossignton, Bloor) is the biggest help because in crunch time if you can toss a stone to your pad she will be down. I learned this from to Australians whom were living in TO for like 6months they had a pad off College and just rolled out to the bars there acted a fool and pulled the party back to their crib. But the drawback of this is that those streets I listed are some of the priceiest in town. You will pay top dollar to live in moldy basement off those streets. I remember one broad whom I weaseled my way back to her spot and was shocked she lived in a shitty basement off Ossignton with a mattress on the concrete floor and a shower that didn't even work. She was paying $850 for that dump. But if your smart about and the area you can do it up well (Parkdale is still kinda of cheap and mad broads live there).
....
In regards to debt. Yes Toronto people are terrible with money. I have adopted this habit also and I need to get back to my stingy African ways because its not worth it long term. You eventually get in that trap where you get sucked into debt to remain in TO, or your money situation is so fucked that you CAN'T LEAVE TO, or your money situation is crapped out and you have to leave TO and live in fuking Milton or Barrie or leave the GTA all together (If you did indeed want to stay).

Another tip which kind of just hit me is that for the first while when I lived here I really tried not to become a "TO guy" and adopt the culture of being a Torontonian. eventually things naturally become absorbed and now I wonder if my appeal was lost when I was the "new" kid whom was like a alien since I acted so differently from Toronto people. I find myself doing, saying, and acting out in typical Toronto good fashion. I wonder if the broads can smell this on a dude.
