Yeah, if you're Mr. Average White Guy, you're going to be affected by more foreigners in your city. But if you're a 1% guy, that's not going to hurt you.
By the way, the reason I have this mindset is from hanging out with friends who crush it in cities like Toronto and the toughest cities. They're all top 1% guys. And they fuck 8-9s regularly. That's what happens when you're ripped, have a central crib, a solid frame, and razor sharp confidence. At that point every city is a great city and all this talk about "the decline" sounds like whining.
(Also I don't think Toronto is that tough if you're a top tier guy... there is a lot of quality walking around, the hard part is becoming a top tier guy. Much better than DC where there's much less quality).
There's no way your friends are dating girls that don't smoke, don't drink alcohol, are 18 to 24, have no tattoos, have good relationships with their families, are gorgeous, humble, and decent human beings "regularly."
Because that's an 8 or a 9 to me.
If I change my definition of an 8 or 9 to "hot chick, right above a 7" then yes, anyone who's got a good combination of looks/game/lifestyle can bang "8's and 9's," including myself, in the West. But then we're just mentally masturbating by calling what we're banging an 8 or a 9 to make ourselves look good, when what we're really banging is a girl with major psychological issues that will only get worse with age.
I call bullshit.
Regarding yourself and your friends being in the top 1%, if you're talking top 1% of males in the U.S., for example, that would mean your friends are over 6'3" tall, have chiseled looks, and make somewhere around 450k a year. Canada would be something similar. You're not hanging out with that crew, if you were you would not be posting here.
I call bullshit.
You're saying if you're in the top 1% you can get the top tier, but you're not in the top 1%, so you're pulling this statement out of thin air.
Being ripped, having a central crib, a solid frame, and razor sharp confidence does NOT put you in the top 1% in the West. It makes you a dime a dozen in most major downtown areas of the U.S. Still in the top, that's the city's core after all, but not in the top 1%.
Your whole post is male hamstering. The problems in the West are real, and you can hamster them away with "I'm top 1% and my friends and I are banging 8's and 9's on the reg," but it's bullshit.
You're not top 1%, you're not making 450k a year, you aren't banging 8's and 9's "on the reg," and neither are your friends.
You're like 24 years old or so, you're not top 1%, and neither are your friends, unless you're genetically very blessed, inherited a ton of cash, and somehow racked up enough life experiences in the 6 years after high school to gain that "razor sharp confidence" you and your friends have.
I call bullshit.
You're slogging it out, just like the rest of us, in this mess that is the West. That's why you're on the RooshV Forum.
I don't mean to be this harsh on you, man, but your post just felt like you were blowing out everyone else's candle to make yours shine brighter, and that's just not necessary.
Guys here, yourself included, are working hard to improve, but let's face it, for getting pleasant, beautiful, young, healthy girls without psychological issues or drug/alcohol problems who haven't been around the block, the West is game on Very Difficult mode, while many parts of the rest of the world are game on Easy or Very Easy mode, often for higher quality, sometimes much, much higher quality.
There's nothing wrong with that. It doesn't make anyone less of a man for choosing to not put in the work required to be "Top 1%" like you and your 24-ish year old friends.
But I have to call bullshit.
