I lived in Mahattan for 7 years. I think Manhattan is the best city in the world but in order to live there comfortably, you need to make at least 150k.

You can get same standard of living in Europe for 50k.

150k is kind of exaggerating. i make 110, pay 2k for a studio, 1-2 for consumables like food/clothes/bills/etc and save about 2-3k a month. I don't take many taxis and don't eat at fancy restaurants much though. That could easily add 1,000 to monthly expenses.

2k for a studio... See I can't even justify that at this time in my life. There are 2 bedroom in Texas for 1k.... I can get a roommate and pay $500 a month... And since I work in sales my income isn't so tied to the city/region I'm in. Yes I need to be in a major city but since my full earnings is based on commission I can potentially make 6 figures in different parts of the country.

But then again it's a lifestyle trade off. Pay to play.

Honestly even Baltimore was fun as long as you stuck to the right areas, even single.

I've lived in both Baltimore and D.C. and I much prefer Baltimore. Smaller town, row houses, unpretentious people, good food. And D.C. is a short ride away on the MARC commuted train if you need that for some reason. If I moved back to the US, I'd consider living there.

As you say, stay out of the bad areas (true in both cities). I did get mugged in Baltimore but it was my own fault.

[Kaii]

I'm partial to Florida. I've lived in Miami, Tampa and Orlando. Miami was fun but a bit expensive. I prefer Orlando or Tampa.

[Vicious]

I'd pick NYC and I'd gladly pay the premium.

People say the city is expensive but nowhere else in the US have I found snatch to be as cheap. Netflix and Seamless is a legitimate date if you have a Manhattan apartment.

The city is also unbeatable for quick getaways, a 3h drive for great skiing/yachting/sunbathing or go even bigger and you have some of the best international flight options in the world at your doorstep.

This is of course assuming you're a young buck without attachment, which isn't me anymore. But I doubt my advice for how to pick a suburb house that makes a great locale for a family wont reach quite the same audience here.

Is your studio in Harlem? How did you find 2k studio in Manhattan? I was paying $3200 in Soho almost 10 years ago. I think you need 150k to live comfortably in Manhattan. I mean, you go to average restaurant in NYC with 2 people and it's around $120-150. Bottle of wine is minimum $50 wherever you go.

As you know, many people don't cook at home in Manhattan. I was spending easily $10k including rent in Manhattan when I was living there.

Day game is free.

Plenty of bars and clubs, even in NYC, are free. Heck, Jay-Z's 40/40 Club is free. The only thing that DEFINITELY costs money is alcohol but I personally don't drink. Tastes like krap and is a waste of money IMO.

Heck, even on my dates in NYC and Chicago, I didn't spend a penny, yet still got pulls on a fairly consistently basis. Just took 'em to the park.

Yeah, man. That has to be Harlem or The Upper Westside or Inwood or Washington Heights. Somewhere way north. Heck, some studios in Harlem are 2.5k/month, which blows my mind!

[Naughty By Nature]

BTW anyone been to Washington Heights in Manhattan? It's in upper Manhattan.

Big booty Dominican paradise. Unbelievably hawt babes! I've never been on a date with one or seen one with a non-Dominican guy, but holy hell, are they fun to talk to and look at!

I always figured I would move to Scottsdale or San Diego.

Will be taking a road trip through Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, and Michigan in the summer... if anyone wants to recommend potential paradises to visit.

Main point of the trip is hiking, hot dogs, and Frank Lloyd Wright architecture.

I would say stick to Scottsdale
As someone who has been to most of these places, I say this is the way to go if you don't like big cities. NYC is expensive but the simple solution is to make more money or figure out a way to do it on the cheap (very doable in my opinion except for rent though)

Michigan is beautiful, Ohio (university towns) have some bad bitches,

Miami is awesome and if you learn to get shit on lock it's way cheaper than most people think (same applies to NYC), comped drinks, comped VIP tables, meet celebrities etc. do you guys not read G Manifesto?

Honestly most people bitching about the USA live in suburbs on with boring lifestyle landlocked with too much soy

In all seriousness, get creative or get to grinding to earn more cash, because U.S.A is one of the best places to live in the world (this is coming from someone who's lived in different places and travels)

This year a friend of mine moved into a small but liveable 1 bedroom on the UES for $1800/month. It's one block away from the Q train, 15 minutes to get to Union Square. So relatively decent deals can still be had.

too many breweries. For some reason I've found white liberal hipsters and beer culture aren't good for me and my style of game.

I have noticed this correlation too. It's a shame, because I enjoy high quality beer (just can't stand "beer culture"). The cities that are obsessed with beer tend to be ultra-liberal and have subpar women. Weird.

Yeah something about ultra liberal cities is anti-game maybe it's because they're such strong feminists and anti-masculinity. I would never want to live in a liberal wasteland like San Francisco, Seattle, Portland or Boston. I'd rather live in Africa. Dead serious.

Something about white liberal chicks really puts me off. Maybe the complete lack of submissiveness and femininity. I can't quite put my finger on it.

Liberal white chicks are the absolute worst. They truly are some of the most ignorant obnoxious people I have come across. Like you said, lack of femininity and snarkiness like they know it all, irritates the hell out of me. I don't know how dudes live in those aforementioned places, has to be like hell on earth to be a man living in a place like that. Ironic thing is those cities are predominately white with some Asians there to make themselves feel good. No thanks.

LOL, that's nutty!

My God, LA is a haven for charlatans and snakes in the grass.

The only guys I've met who enjoy LA and claim to get women are either bizarrely well-connected, bizarelly wealthy, sleazebags doing P4P, straight liars, or dudes who go after 400 pound Mexican women with 7 kids out of wedlock. What a dirty city full of shady people.

[underboss]

Guys goto LA thinking they should have 8/9/maybe the mythical 10 available. That's unrealistic. Lots of cute 5/6/maybe 7's.

A 5 in LA might be a 7 in Zanesville.

Also, those ultra wealthy guys don't even understand American jokes half the time. They might drive a fancy car, but they're cake.

A forum member made the suggestion that Sonoma, CA wouldn't be a bad place to settle down:

Not that their opinion matters that much or anything, but U.S. News & World Report just ranked Sonoma as the No. 1 small town to visit.

NYC seems to be the preferred choice here. For girls and partying I don't think you can beat it. I've always found it to be a tough place to save money, and live a healthy life. I've spent at least $100,000 in my 20's partying there. At my age NYC is not an option anymore, nor is a city with crazy nightlife. I need a city that has a high quality of life - clean, organized, ocean near by for surfing or mountains for hiking/skiing, healthy food.

I think my top 5 would be:
San Diego/OC, San Francisco, Phoenix, Honolulu, and Denver.

That’s awesome you have that kind of money to spend, but of all the pick-up horror stories I’ve heard, this undoubtedly takes the cake.

Why on God’s green earth would you spend that kind of money on the hopes of getting laid?!

I know guys who get laid with attractive girls in NYC and don’t spend a dime, let alone tens of thousands of dollars.

[LatinoHeat]

San Diego hands down, absolute no brainer.

• Best weather in the USA
• Somewhat high rent but still reasonable cost of living
• Excellent food and restaurants
• Lots of cute girls that are more accessible and less bitchy then LA/SF or even NYC, many of them attending the local universities.
• Better dating logistics then LA/SF or even NYC (from one side of town to the other is 15-30 minutes max)
• Good air quality
• Current hotspot for digital marketing and ecommerce owners, good for networking
• Tons of good business conferences roll through San Diego
• Dirt cheap domestic flights to anywhere in Mexico with interjet or volaris via Tijuana airport and CBX border crossing
• Fantastic high quality cheap weed
• Good concerts, cultural activities etc
• Great beaches
• Good surf both in town and Baja California easily accessible too for weekend trips.
• Huge community of entrepreneurs and people I already know living there
• Less "fake" then other big cities in California (though the Cally fakeness is still present in San Diego, its not nearly as bad as LA)
  

Only downside is I would have to pay more taxes again as a US resident, I'm really over American women, a higher cost of living. I hate being a short man in a country of taller women. American culture is just also kind of boring to me. But if I had to choose a city it would be San Diego, and I wouldn't be shedding any tears if someone "forced" me to live there.

2nd and 3rd place would be metro Denver or Austin, anywhere else I couldn't even remotely consider. San Diego is great but Mexico City beats out San Diego in most categories, especially dating and cost of living (2 really important aspects IMO)

p.s. Fuck NYC freezing ass cold, standoffish culture and people, outrageous cost of living, smelly and dirty with roaches and rats everywhere gross, etc most overrated place in the entire planet except maybe London.

One benefit of Puerto Rico is that they are not subject to federal income tax. You will lower your tax bill big time if you move there.

I wrote about Man Diego here (post #4):

thread-46429...pid1546600

Man Diego definitely is scenic and offers a high quality of life but it’s a sprawling, driving city that is definitely not logistically strong at all...my wing and I had to constantly get on the highway to hit our next spot. Outside of the Gassy Lamp district, SD was not walkable at all. The ratios also were pretty bad.

Rule #1: If you need a car then it’s not a real city, just a collection of disjointed suburbs.

[Vasily Zaytsev]

I'm living in Denver and I like it a lot here. Great weather, fitness culture, the mountains, microbreweries, decent size etc. If I had to live in another city, I might choose Boston. It has a very educated population and the ratio of younger people to older people is very high from what I know.

My experience in San Diego is all from 3 to 7 day trips, almost always staying in nice hotels near Gaslamp so I guess i'm biased but the places I went were never sausage parties, though most the time they were private parties. The dudes I met all looked kinda beta and lame so even when ratio was bad it didn't appear to be that hard to pickup in Gaslamp.

TBH I never did bang but it was really more a time issue more then anything if i'm in San Diego, I am busy AF doing shit.

If I lived there rather then dealing with local dating market I would just import a local big bootied latina that has a visa from the other size of the border. If I got frustrated I would head over the border get an airbnb in Tijuana for a few days and throw up tinder and fuck till my dick fell off or just fly down to CDMX. Plenty of chicks from Tijuana work in San Diego. Why bother with this spoiled white chicks fuck 'em. Don't like the rules change the game.

NYC if you can afford it. Brooklyn/Queens is aight, but it's a big tease knowing Manhattan is so close.

I've always fancied living in the Twin Cities for some reason; I'm sure it'd get boring pretty quick.

I'd also consider Atlanta, San Diego, Philly and Chicago.


Most places seem like a deal price wise when compared to NYC though. North Western United States and New England are rip offs price wise though.
