Meeting women in NYC
10-06-2008, 08:40 AM
Hello guys,
I just moved from the west coast and I have to say that NYC is so much different in terms of meeting women than say vegas or San Diego. I am really good at cold approaching getting women comfortable in say 5-10 minutes but what got me really thinking is Roosh's post on meeting women on weekends vs during the week, I have been doing the community stuff for a couple of years which is predominantly night game and a structured approach. It would be great if any of you from the NYC area can share on how it's done in NYC, from meeting to working logistics. BTW I live in NJ like around a 45 minute drive from the city. thanks for reading!

Just curious what your observations are about the differences you've seen between San Diego and NYC? I know there is a world of difference between San Jose and Boston, that's for sure. I wasn't 21 yet when I graduated from college, and when I went back to Boston a few times later after graduating, I very quickly said: "holy crap, this place is insane, I clearly missed out!"

Ok here's my brief rundown on the big differences.... So. Cal unlike east coast cities like NYC are hugely vehicle dependent, people do not use much of public transport. In NYC it’s more street/train station game from what I am seeing. It’s just not restricted to a night club or a lounge unlike West coast cities in Cali or Phoenix or Vegas for the most part. I think one of the attributes of a good player is the ability to adapt to his surroundings and make it work for him. During my little time in Vegas I realized how hard it was to pull a hot tourist back to my place for a one night stand, the second your car left the strip she would get nervous and ask you to turn around. The city of Las Vegas can be your biggest cockblock! Also it was pointless to run any game remotely close to comfort because moist of them are looking to have a good time.
I am still working on logistics for pulling in NYC/Hoboken, I live a good 45 minutes away and it seems the only way I could pull off a one night stand is if I get them back to their place. Also I think tanned women are more beautiful than pale pasty ones and there seem to be plenty of the paler ones in the NYC area.

Weird, I also live in Hoboken.
I think a key to my bar game in Hoboken is peacocking or just dressing nicely.
Other than that, I mostly rely on apartment parties and all that jazz.

IME, I thought NYC girls were rather aggressive.
My boys (who don't skill set/cold approach game) who live in NYC now have their hang out spots and they just meet girls in their daily life. It's more of a social circle/lifestyle game.

Hoboken IME is one huge frat house, i love the way women dress around there. Also, its supposed to be ranked high up in the single scene, with a younger crowd (18 to mid 20's) I think mostly dues to schools such as Seton Hall & Stevens in the area.

For all you NYC players... how would the logistics be for having a pad near the PATH in Hoboken and running game? How is the talent/ease of pulling in Hoboken, and how receptive are women to taking the PATH to Hoboken from NYC? Its only a 12 minute ride and there's 24 hour service on weekends, but I could see the "oh my god New Jersey?!" being a potential cockblock.

Hoboken and Jersey City are expensive too. Maybe not as much as Manhattan, but pretty close, especially if you want to be close to the PATH. Unless there is another reason for being in Jersey, you'd be better off with a smaller apt in Manhattan, or Brooklyn.

From my research, Hoboken is roughly 25% cheaper than Manhattan. A nice 1BR with hardwood floors, washer/dryer and a decent view will set you back around $1900-2300... but will probably be a good 20 minute walk to the PATH station. Hell if I were to pull in Manhattan I'd just drop the $35 on a uber home. I prefer Hoboken because I have friends there, its more laid back and the state income tax is half of NYC.
I'm more of a day game guy, get numbers and make dates. My concern is girls instantly ruling out NJ because it seems so far away.

In terms of logistics, I'm going to extend what broken said. From my experience as well, the women are more aggressive and alpha, I suppose. What this has translated into for me is that they usually don't have a problem bringing me back to their place. I have a special rate at a hotel near Union Square, but it's common bathrooms and a bit prison like in appearance, so I prefer not to bring girls back to it. I usually just say I'm not from the area and take it from there.
As for the PATH logistics, still trying to figure it out myself. Yes, it's 24/7 service on weekends but I like going out during the weekdays too and don't want to get stuck when the trains stop running at 11pm.

Lets keep this thread going...I'm in NYC and am in the early stages of running game here.
My general thoughts have been elevators are a setting where my social anxiety drops dramatically and its so much easier to strike up conversation with an attractive stranger.

easy to meet women here, esp bars - most women are open to being approached, even if married/attached (they still like the attention) as it's fairly obvious that supply/demand does not work in their favor

what are you guys thoughts on Airbnb for the bang if logistics aren't great?
I've been mauling over this in my head. If you live too far away get an airbnb in the city if you think you're going to bang. Just pretend and act like the aribnb is your place. The girl will never know.
The only draw back is you'd have to book early enough and sometimes you might not always get the cheapest airbnb.
BTW I'd only move to NY if I was making 150K a year. My brother is an investment banker living in Manhattan. His rent is only $800 which is killer for where he lives.

But re: meeting girls in NYC: literally everywhere.
Art openings are a good place. People are walking around and mingling, but it's a lot more relaxed and laid back than a nightclub.
And yeah, during your daily life is good, just get in the habit of chatting people up. I think people are generally very open in NYC.
Also going direct works pretty well I found. In NYC people are always stressed and don't have much time, so you often times you need to get to the point pretty quickly.

I spent about a year there and it was the best place in my life for same night lays. Bars are great. I liked the dive bars in the East Village and my secret weapon was the REAL Irish places on McLean in Yonkers.
As for the shallow comments on this thread about money, you don't need much money in NYC if you are creative. I was getting divorced, totally screwed and had almost no money. I found sublets and cheap options. I budgeted under $10 for a night out. I got laid constantly because I had just discovered game and didn't give a fuck. I lived on $1000 a month total. Yes I had to move every two or three months but I didn't care I was just waiting out a divorce. Once it was all over I headed down south and started my life over.
I remember one of the funniest lays I ever got in NYC. I fucked a psychologist, blond Italian American, 30s, phd, solid 7, took HOURS after the clubs closed to convince her to come up off the street. In the morning in my little sublet of an apartment (in exchange for cat sitting) she started to interview me. Was it my apartment, was I "an old BMW kind of guy or a new BMW kind of guy." Will never forget smirking at the questions because I had already fucked her and didn't care what she found out.

150k per year... thats around 8k/month after taxes. Assuming 20% savings, and a $1500-2000 or so bankroll, are you guys really putting $4,500+/month into rent?
I currently live in LA, with an pimp pad a block off the beach, and keep total rent/bankroll under $3500.

To live in Manhattan (not Harlem, like south of 100th Street) in your own place,
You will be paying $2,000/month minimum, but I'd put that closer to $3,000 minimum for anywhere decent downtown
(Those are market-rate rents, you can of course get cheaper if you know someone, etc)
