Until last summer, I had been progressing reasonably well in the game, but that all came to an end when I moved to the city I'm living in now.
There are some major obstacles in this area:
I live in a small hole-in-the-wall town that is near a small- to moderate-size city.
The city's population is 65% black. I don't mind dating black girls, but they're not my first choice. Only 11% of the population is in my age group. This is also a high-obesity area.
Almost all the girls around here seem to fall into one of two categories: (a) married and have at least one kid by age 19, or (b) fat, disgusting slobs I wouldn't want to touch let alone put my penis inside of.
There is no nightlife to speak of. The bars/clubs can be split into three groups: (a) ghetto hip-hop places for black people, (b) country/redneck bars. These usually have a high male:female ratio, and the women are not worth approaching, or © a few "normal" bars in the downtown area, but you see the same few people night after night. These bars also have cover charges that far exceed the quality of the bar. It's not worth it.
I've tried to find places for day game, but I've had only modest results at best. The city mall is like a ghost town; gang-related violence drove away many people, then the bad economy finished off most of the shops that were still there.
There are a few parks around, but few people go there. I went yesterday and mostly only saw couples. I only saw one cute girl, but she was in an intense conversation with her mother and didn't even look up when I walked by, so I didn't bother.
I cannot leave this city until at least late July. There is a major metropolitan city about two hours away, but in the industry I work in, it's extremely difficult to find a job there even if you have lots of experience (and I don't have lots of experience). Switching industries would be a dramatic reduction in salary for me (I make around $60/hour.), and I'm saving that money for a long-term trip (similar to what Roosh is doing now).
I'm losing my mind here. I'm considering moving to the metro area as soon as possible this summer, then commuting as far as necessary. However, with the bad economy and the state of my industry, my commute could be as much as 1.5-2 hours one-way, so I'm not sure if I can handle that.
Anyone have any suggestions or words of encouragement?
