Also, what car you drive doesn't really matter here. What matters is where you live, and what you do for a living. You could have the best job in the world and drive a Ferrari, but if you tell a girl you live in sugarland or cypress and she lives inside the loop, chances are she won't date you because it's practically a long distance relationship for her as it can be an hour to get to those locations from central houston.

Houston girls are more low key and not as flashy as girls in other major cities. They're not impressed by guys throwing their money around. They're more impressed with education, looks, career etc.
Would you recommend living in the loop even if your job is outside of the loop? I just got a job in the Woodlands. Living in the loop would be ideal, but some of the commute times I'm reading about are 1hr+ if I lived where the action is.
For some background, I'm an early 20s black Ivy League graduate with good looks (people ask me if I'm a model/actor regularly), but have no game. No real consistency in my successful relationships, other than the women being impressed with my body.
That's why I'd rather be close to nightlife, simply to get the reps in.
My goal is to consistently pick up women from either a day time or night time venue. I'm interested in both day game and night game, particularly with Latinas because I've been to Ecuador and Argentina, and I've seen the light
Based on advice in this thread, seems like just west of the Galleria would be a good spot. Reasonable rent, diverse, and close enough to the inner loop.
Thanks again for this information -- especially those rent listings! That spot with the <$700/mo rent, the Palms at Westheimer...
Then again, it might be best to take a middle path. Get a 1 br in The Woodlands for 6 months, and then move downtown once I really know the lay of the land.
Baby steps.
Also, Cattle Rustler, would love to hear more info about Katyzuela...I met a Venezuelan at a Dominican restaurant a couple weeks ago. I wanted to make a baby with her right then and there...
Again, great, great thread!
Edit: Also, StackGsMan, could you talk more about specific neighborhoods in Southwest Houston? Seems like a cool place where you can meet women from different nations.
If you want to actively take part in the nightlife, and especially if you have the goal of getting one night stands, forget everything but the inner loop. Preferably go to Midtown or Downtown. Getting into Houston's nightlife and working in the Woodlands means that you will have to do plenty of commuting either way. The good news is if you live in the inner loop you will be going against the major flow of traffic on 45, because it goes in to downtown from the Woodlands in the morning and back out in the afternoon, you will be going the opposite way. I personally think 45 North is hell, but if it has to be done you have no choice. The Woodlands is an OK place, but personally unless I was a rich older guy that just went to work and came home to the family I wouldn't live there.
Katyzuela just means that there are tons of Venezolanas in Katy. I haven't been to Katy for a while, but where I live in West/Southwest Houston we are basically one of the closest areas in Houston to Katy. It is something like 20 minutes from my house to anywhere in Katy with no traffic, maybe 25 tops. There are Venezuelans all over where I live too. I've been on an approach mission for about a month and a half now, and where I live I have run into more Venezuelan women than any other group of Latina. Even more than Mexican and Mexican American combined.
Southwest and West Houston is a pretty large and diverse area. If you want to be active in nightlife this area isn't ideal, because you will be driving to the inner loop basically every time you want to party, and you will either have to use your car or try to go back to the girls place for a ONS. You can also find a hotel in the inner loop but I doubt you can find an hourly one and you are talking at least $100. Even if you find something for less than $100 a night online they will probably upsell you when you walk in, and you have the added pressure of convincing a girl to go to a hotel.
Basically Southwest Houston, as far as I understand things, breaks down into Alief and Sharpstown. Sharpstown is closer to the inner loop and I have only really spent time there to go boxing and driving through. As far as I know it is a predominantly Latino area, but when I say Latino I am talking poorer immigrants and their children. The most common sight I see around there are short Indian looking Mexican women going to Fiesta. I'm not saying there isn't much more to it, just what I've observed. Sharpstown also has a large part of Chinatown on a street called Bellaire. I have heard, but can't confirm, that Sharpstown has the largest group of sex offenders of any area in Houston. That has nothing to do with the ehtnicity of the people living there or what Trump said, I heard that comment about a decade ago.
Alief is the other major part of Southwest Houston. I would say it breaks down to something like 5-10% white (although in most parts that number is much lower), 10-15% Asian, 30% or so Latino, 30% black, and he rest South Asians and others. I am not sure of those figures, just what I'm guessing. Alief can be a little ghetto because a lot of poor people from other parts of Houston and other cities move there. There is however a few neighborhoods that have million dollars houses, particularly around what is called Royal Oaks. If you go to the part of Alief that is close to Westheimer between the Beltway and Highway 6 this is probably ground zero for meeting women from all over that I was talking about.
The Westside encompasses a few areas as well. The Energy District/Corridor is where there are a ton of oil companies and as a result you will find a more upper middle class feel. There are still people living in apartments in the area that aren't that expensive, but as far as West/Southwest Houston go this is one of the places you will want to check out for white girls and Europeans. This is a very pleasant area where you will feel totally safe walking any hour of night, but there is basically nothing to do.
The other area of the Westside would be Memorial, which is a street that goes from Highway 6 to basically downtown. This is basically the epicenter of the upper middle class and transitions to the epicenter of the rich in West Houston the further you go toward downtown.
The bad things about West and Southwest Houston, and I am not saying this simply because women have used these lines to get rid of me, is that I think most people come here to settle down. For that reason a lot of the girls are legitimately off the market. Also dealing with ghetto girls, while it may be not as bad as many would think, is actually not the most fun experience to be had. Also, while there are bars (mainly pubs) scattered around the area, they generally suck ass as far as gaming goes.
I am mainly big on West/Southwest Houston because I am from here. I used to hate it and complain about it, as well as Houston in general, but over the past years I've noticed that there are tons and tons of great looking women all over the place. I mean, I can't complain when I can go out of my house and find a big booty chick from pretty much any continent.
As oilrig mentioned, I probably would live in the inner loop though depending on what my life looked like.
