Evening, fellas. Regular visitor but haven't posted in a while. Two part post:
1) The subject of how awful Washington, DC is has been covered time and again on this site, much of it with very high quality analysis as many forum members live in, or have lived in DC at one point in time.
Though I still "live" there, I spend all my free time traveling for the mere opportunity to go after decent-looking women. That means regularly pull 8s+. (Note: If you can regularly pull 8s+ in Washington, DC, allow me to inform you. Your game skill-set is in the top 0.1% of the world. Which begs the question, why on earth are you in DC?)
Heading straight to the airport every weekend is actually a surprisingly successful strategy for dealing with life in DC and has also been well chronicled on here by many members. However, that is merely a treatment, not a cure.
Therefore, it gives me great pleasure to say – I am almost out. Fingers crossed, I will have officially landed a job in NYC within a month.
I did have the misfortune to spend this weekend here. And every time it's worse. I only get out in DC once every 6-7 weeks but let this be a word of warning for any male even CONSIDERING moving: It could have a far-reaching impact on your life. Thankfully, I found a quick solution (the airport) once DC “turned,” and it's been worth every penny. (There are some of us on here who remember: Pre-recession, DC actually wasn't THAT bad. Then a switch flipped.)
One image that sticks out in my mind from this weekend was two 7's at the bar who sat down and within 5 minutes were surrounded by betas offering them drinks. It didn't stop the entire night. It was painful to watch and worthy of a YouTube clip. Both 7s went home alone, as did all the poor bastards who may as well have thrown $50 in a paper shredder.
I have been around the world far and wide. (Not quite as much as Roosh, but I've racked up the miles.) And though I make my living as an editor, I still lack the words to fully describe how awful this city is for men. I simply can't do it justice. I can only say unequivocally: It is hell on earth for men.
Take the worst-case, city-based scenario for a man you can possibly imagine [overweight women, 6s thinking they should model professionally (Yeah, I've heard that stated. They weren't laughing.), shocking male-female ratios in nightlife venues, etc.) Now multiply it by ten. You're still not even close.
If you are ever thinking of moving there, please contact me first. No matter the job, no matter the salary. Do NOT do it to yourself. If you're still tempted, contact me and I will personally convince you otherwise! You'll thank me down the road.
2) In the meantime, if anyone's got some input on how I can hit the ground hard in NYC, I'd be very grateful. (G – You out there? I know you're fairly well-versed on NYC.) I do travel up there occasionally and have a good idea of relevant venues/neighborhoods. However there's a difference between knowing a city as a visitor and knowing a city as a local.
Naturally, I'm well-aware there will be at least SOME dropoff upon relocation. It will be hard to immediately start rotating 8.5s in the first month. Doesn't mean it can't be done, but it's realistic to expect SOME lag as I get started. (I'm good, but not THAT good.)
Note: When I say 8.5, I mean 8.5. I'm not grading on the "DC Curve," which is a topic for another time that I hope I'll never have to write about again.
Regardless, obviously I'd like to get up there and establish a regular 3-4 girl rotation of 8-8.5s+ as soon as possible. So, I'm looking for some input on the ideal way to hit the ground running, i.e. - where to live, where to go out, and which areas may have the ideal mix of both.
You don't want to be based too far from your target market, which for me happens to be 22-26 year old recently graduated southern blondes. Thankfully, NYC is full of that so I shouldn't be at a loss for venue. As you know, that demographic is notoriously clingy to their respective beta-orbiter filled social circles, even more so than hot girls in the northeast, so I'd be curious how you guys would go about breaking that down in NYC as well.
Any thoughts are appreciated... In the meantime, it's been a pleasure, DC. A pleasure to see in my rear-view mirror. Stay away, fellas, stay away. For it is Chernobyl to a man's soul.
