I was asked to make a Toronto datasheet - I'm not sure if there's a real comprehensive one here, so I decided to make a quick one. If you have anything to add - post it and i'll add er. As I say below, day-game isn't what I do anymore so there could be some changes to that. This is also a 'best that I can remember' datasheet. I don't go out in Toronto often - work, and travel does that to you. This datasheet isn't absolute, but it's a quick guide to follow on your trip!

Transit - Getting Around
Hotels in Toronto are quite expensive, but using Hotwire for last minute deals is an effective way to get discount rates.
However, if you don't want to risk it - AirBnB is your best bet. There are hundreds of AirBnB rentals, lots of which are in the downtown core. You'll be looking at anywhere from $40 - upwards.

I'll say flat out - I don't day game often in Toronto any more. I work too much. When I did day-game in Toronto though, these were the spots - so if you're from Toronto and these have changed, feel free to comment that.

Toronto gets a lot of negative feedback for its SJW culture, and general media attention given to feminists. A lot of "low quality" girl comments are thrown around when associated with Toronto. While Toronto isn't 'the best', if you know where to go, you can find high-quality girls. As I've said before, throughout my entire life of going out in Toronto, I can count on one hand the number of SJW's/Feminists that I've encountered. Through my misogynistic comments, and comedy, I've never had a female(or male) get moral, or ethical on me. The 'SJW' culture here is blown way out of proportion. It's a small community in Toronto, that make a lot of noise - don't mistake that for it being a large and powerful community. The mayor jumped on the Montreal bandwagon - it's as simple as that. Now, I'm not saying Toronto is the best place to go, and in fact I wouldn't recommend an extended stay here. However, if you do end up here - use this guide as your path to finding the highest quality girls in Toronto. Hopefully this will help you make the best of your stay in Toronto.
Transit - Getting Around
Provided you're arriving via air, you'll most likely be arriving at Pearson International Airport (YYZ), in Mississauga, just outside of Toronto, and part of the GTA (Greater Toronto Area). It's a very modern airport, and has the typical amenities you'd imagine in your average airport. Getting from Pearson - Toronto used to be a hassle, but with the recently constructed Pearson-Union Express (UP express), getting to the downtown core, and main transit station(Union) in Toronto, is very easy now. The UP-express is a 25-minute train ride, and is a very nice train. It has wifi, outlets, and is rarely delayed.
UP Express - Adult price (20-64) is $27.50 for a one-way ticket, and $44 for a return ticket. However, because many people still find this $27.50/$44 price expensive, they're currently offering a promotion; if you buy the one-way ticket, they'll cover your return ticket.
Once you're in the city, TTC (Toronto Transit) is the main way to get around. The TTC costs $3, and this is the same for the subway, buses, or streetcars. TTC is famous for delays due to passenger assitance alarms, however, it's still the most efficient way to get around town.
Subway stops you should get familiar with: King, Queen, Dundas, Bloor, Union, St. Patrick. While there are many others, these are the main downtown-core stops, where most bars are.

Food and Alcohol
I won't go too in-depth here, because it's like any other city. You can find any food you want in Toronto, so instead I'll just go over my favourite spots for alcohol, and food.
- The 3 Brewers: Decent food, but I like their beer, which is brewed by them. It's always busy.
- The Bier Market:150 beers from 30 different countries. Pick your poison. Everybody loves the bier market, and it's reasonably priced.
- Ten Mile Aroma: This hidden gem is one of my favourite spots in the city. It's a chinese restaurant near St. Patrick station. It has horrible chinese food, and horrible beer - but the beer is dirt, and I stress, dirt cheap. It's 5$ for a pitcher (yes, pitcher) of beer. If you're looking to party - this is a good pre-drink spot. If you see a bunch of bankers in here, I apologize. I've recommended this place to a lot of people, but it's still relatively unknown.
- Bar Hop: Awesome beer selection, and located on King Street - a great spot for bars, and daytime pickup.
- Salad King: It's average, but if you're into pad thai, go here. It's a hot spot for students at the local universities as well.
- Joey's(Eaton Centre): A more expensive place, but the food is good. Located on Dundas Square, and it's a very professional crowd here.
- Ritz Caribbean: Jerk chicken, and more jerk chicken. The food is decently priced, but I only go here for the lunch special which is very cheap ($4.75 for jerk chicken, rice, veggies and a drink).
I could go on and on - just look for food/pubs in Toronto, and you'll be able to pick any.

Girls
The girls here vary. As Toronto is a multicultural hotspot, you can get anything from Latinas to European women. You'll see some whales, but compared to the USA - the numbers are much, much smaller. I can't go into 'specific' girls here, because I've never been with two girls who are the same.
Depending on the venue you're at, different styles of game will work. Boring-game, doesn't work in Toronto though. You'll be decimated. There's a big PUA culture in Toronto, but most of the PUAs congregate around the same spots.
Social circles are important here, and while the mother hen still runs around poking her head in your business, it's not as predominant as other places. It's not unusual to find a big group of girls, and her friends encourage the girl to dance with you.
The level of bitchiness depends on the venue. Hipster venues are horrible for this. Girls stick in groups, and have no problem bitching you out for not wearing skinny jeans and smelly t-shirts with a beanie on your head.
As I'll say below, go to regular, or high-end venues, run your game, and you'll stand out from the average guy.

Once upon a time, you could go to the Eaton Centre and approach without worrying about the security guards. PUAs have ruined that with their idiocy. When a PUA approaches 10 girls sequentially in front of a security guard, you'll get noticed. You still can approach here, but do it in stores - Indigo (the book store) in the Eaton Centre is my favourite spot. It's pretty big, and there are a ton of girls there. There's also a starbucks on the top floor of Indigo, so you can utilize the coffee shop.
- Eaton Centre (Indigo)
- Dundas Square: Dundas Square is a common spot for daytime approaches, but you won't be short on opportunities here.
- Ryerson Campus: The Ryerson Campus has hundreds of girls walking around, hanging around campus. Ryerson has a lot of cute girls, and some of the girls are pretty receptive.
- The Waterfront: When I day gamed in Toronto, the waterfront bore the most fruit. The waterfront is a 15-minute walk from Dundas Square, and during the summer months is a bustling area. If you DONT day game here, you're missing out. The Cabana is also located near here, which is an awesome spot during the summer day/nights.
- Kensington Market: Better during the summer, and some hipsters, but in general this is a solid spot.

The night is where the majority of your game should be focused. While the rule of thumb is that higher-quality women can be found during the daytime, girls are more receptive at night in Toronto, and you can still find high-quality. Also - a lot of people do approaches along King Street. I've never done this, but I've heard of people with good results.
- Madison Avenue Pub (the maddy): Located near Spadina subway station, the maddy is staple in Toronto. It's a pub, but on Thursday/Friday there is a dance floor located on the bottom floor. PUAs frequent here, but I still have a lot of success at the Maddy. I'm a bit bias with the Maddy, because I used to live at a Fraternity nearby, but on this street there are a handful of sororities who frequent the Maddy - most of whom are attractive girls. Cover ranges from free to $5. I'd recommend going here on Monday(Greek night), or Thursday. On Monday, sororities and fraternities from around the city congregate here. Toronto doesn't really feature the typical 'douchebag' fraternities, and most of the guys are more interested in Academia, and just happen to be in a fraternity. The girls at the Maddy on Monday outnumber the guys. It's as simple as that. Thursday is simply the best night at the Maddy.
- Cougar Alert** Crocodile Rock: I'm not recommending this place - but I'm sure there a few sick puppies on this forum who are into cougars, so it's my duty to tell you about this place. Crocodile Rock on Wednesday nights is dubbed 'cougar night'. If you're into that kind of stuff, there you go.
- 17-year old Alert** The Brunswick House: Again, for you 'barely legal' folks, the Brunswick house is gross, but a staple in Toronto. It's the underage hotspot. It's kind of scary because you can't tell if a girl is 17 or 19. Just another option.
- Bar 244: Cheap drinks, decent vibe. It's a popular place to go, and the talent level here is decent. Just across the street from cougar central.
- The Hoxton: They cater to a more 'professional' demographic, but you'll find some hipsters sprinkled in. Good spot for a higher-quality of girls.
- The Everleigh: This is a pretty interesting place. Quality of girls isn't special, but the interior design is pretty cool. (Some pics etc. http://theeverleigh.ca/about/)
- Cube: An upscale lounge/club, Cube is one of my favourite places. The quality of girls here is very high, and the bar is set up in such a way that approaching is easy. http://cubetoronto.com/photos/
- Dance Cave: If sweaty dancing is your thing - go here. It has a dance floor where people are elbow-to-elbow. Sweaty grinding is common here, as are random make outs without saying a word to a girl.
- Tattoo Rock Parlour: Tattoo is one of my favourite places. It has a high quality of girls here, and I love the music. It's not always top-40 here; instead they mix in old-school rock music as a throwback to when music was good. There are a few lounge seats, and there's a second sort of 'vip' lounge in the basement near coat-check.

Toronto isn't great, but it's not as bad as people make it out to be. You'll likely end up in Toronto at some point in your life, so make the best of your time here. I listed a lot of bars to fit various tastes, but this is by no means an all-inclusive list. There are a ton of bars, food places and everything else in between. As I said above, the SJW culture isn't predominant here. You have a handful of people making noise, and the media jumps on the bandwagon clamoring and blabbing. At the club, you'll seldom run into a sjw/feminist so don't worry. They girl-guy ratios aren't the greatest in the hipster places, but in the upper class venues you'll find some solid ratios. Hopefully you can make the best out of your stay in Toronto.
