So
@SW15 and I have been trying to add our experiences being in various cities for a while and giving our observations on their scene. Today, I want to focus on my home city, the A Town. I grew up in the Peach State and sometimes, I gotta say, having traveled all over I do miss some aspects of it. While I cannot relate too much to the people of Georgia, I consider myself a Georgia boy and the year has been kind to us (Braves and Dawgs won!). No time to waste though, let's go.
The nightlife is pretty good.
Atlanta isn't NYC or Vegas but it's doable, I am surprised PUAs don't put more attention to it. The best spot is The Dark Horse in VA Highlands but in Buckhead, you can't go wrong with the Big Sky area. The Ivy is good and right next to it, Johnnys Hideaway (world famous cougar bar). Compared to here in Miami, I say Atlanta wins big time and has a nightlife that is 5 times better. It ain't NYC but for what it is, it offers a real good opportunity for you to pull. If you have some decent game and decent looks, you are easily above 95% of guys there.
I say Atlanta is a city where you can pull once a week if you explore all your options and do a good number of approaches. Start off at the Buckhead Saloon/Big Sky area and run numbers game. Another night, go for broke at The Ivy. One other night, consider Dark Horse and spend the night there. I realized I took Atlanta nightlife for granted after seeing just how god awful Miami nightlife is.
If you have not been to an Atlanta stripclub, please go. Go to Pink Pony in Brookhaven (not the one near the airport) and to The Cheetah Lounge.
A pretty good city to settle down in.
House prices once you get outside of the perimeter are reasonable and you can get a good bang for your buck. You will find a lot of family oriented types and some can be real good friends of yours. People in Georgia are quite laid back outside the perimeter on politics, it's not the NYC outrage culture where Republican = Satan. People just live their own lives and largely leave you alone for the most part. Right now, Atlanta is affordable enough and probably the most livable between NYC and Miami. Expect a heavy sports culture as people live and die on college football since it's the south. You can definitely find a healthy and welcoming community in the city once you get outside the perimeter. At times, after seeing how awful and outraged type people in NYC were, I sometimes miss Atlanta.
Try out the food.
Southern food, man, it is amazing. If you have not had cheese grits, I recommend having cheese grits with biscuit for a breakfast. Try the nasty Varsity, it is awful but you just try it lol. Due to the growing Asian and Indian population, you have a lot of good food from those cultures. Even better, try out some of the American food, especially if it is fried like a nice fried chicken sandwich. We spoil you with food in Georgia, which is why we are so fat as a state!
Probably the best city in the world if you are into black women.
If you are not into black girls, come to Atlanta and you will find your exception. They say Atlanta is great for single men, yeah, that's single men who are into black women. Black women in Atlanta are open to dating all kinds of men of different races and I have seen them date anywhere from white to asian to brown to latin to whatever guys. You will find some cool and classy black girls in Atlanta.
Bbbbuuuutttttt if you are into anything else.
Don't have high hopes. I mean it's like while we have the hottest black women out of anywhere on the planet, our quality in all other race of women is awful. Even white women in Atlanta are a borderline disappointment. Back in my college days, the classy sorority girls went off to Nashville or NYC while the trashy ones and ugly ones ended up in Atlanta. You either get a trashy sorority sister type with a huge ego or an ultra leftist Woke warrior (which we surprisingly have a lot of) type. Hot white girls do exist though so don't give up hope and keep on gaming.
Our Asian, Indian, Latin, and ethnic girls though? I'll venture and say some of the most hideous out there.
Bizarro world and why you see some hot girls with guys that would struggle in most other cities.
Atlanta might desperately claim to be the capital of Black America and a progressive city but deep down, in the heart of it, it is a good ole boy network. Buckhead is pretty much post-college kids from SEC schools in their 20s who love to go to places like Big Sky and Ivy. Women still care about who you were in college and stick with their former Greek Life crew. You will see men having status based off of who they were in college, even though they are an overweight 25 year old that wears khakis and collar shirts to bars. It's a weird type of Bizzaro world.
Make no mistake about it, Atlanta's culture (especially in Buckhead) is very status chasing and clout heavy. One of my friends calls it LA's inbred cousin and yeah....it's hard to disagree. Due to the film industry and the rap flashiness, Atlanta is heavily clout driven.
The culture is also oddly sex shaming, it's a big city that can feel socially like a small town.
Yes, Atlanta is the home of some of the best strip clubs in the country and rap music that is overly ratchet. At the same time, it is the Bible Belt and you will find a lot of people who will hate you for being the guy that gets around. Somehow, the hyper leftist culture mixed in with Christians that desperately want to appear self-righteous leads to a socially congestive atmosphere where women cannot sleep around as openly as they would in an NYC or an LA. It's a big city that can easily feel like a small town. Lots of crazy youth churches too.
You can sense this frustration in locals as well. Compared to NYC or Miami, I noticed a lot more passive-aggressiveness in Atlanta whenever I was buying something or from people around me. Lots of people had pent up frustration and you commonly saw it with road rage.
But there are opportunities and the competition is a joke.
Compared to NYC and
especially Miami, the competition in Atlanta is a joke. While it is a more closed off environment due to how social circle heavy it can get, you can still find a lot of women who are open and looking to meet a cool guy. My favorite bar was The Dark Horse in Virginia Highlands, 4 stories and you meet so many amazing women who are approachable. The scene may be more hipster but you will find all sorts of girls there, especially sorority types who are fed up with Buckhead.
Out of every state I have lived in, it is worth mentioning that Georgia guys have the worst game. I blame it on the heavily religious upbringing mixed in with extreme reliance on social circles but Georgia guys are very awkward and odd around women. For some men, even sex before marriage is a foreign concept, I am not kidding here. While the black population does bring up the game level in the city, I have found that even black guys in NY or CA had far tighter game than their Atlanta counterparts.
Anyone with an ounce of game knowledge could probably find a niche and clean up fast in Atlanta. Your competition is minimal and most guys worth their salt get so fed up with the city's scene that they bail. If you did have low moral standards, you'll be shocked at how many married women desperately want to get screwed because they missed out on some of their sluttiest years.
Be ready to deal with ****blocking, mate guarding and passive aggressive AMOGing from local dudes though.
Georgia guys are not used to some random guy going up to a girl at a bar and chatting her up. When I lived in NYC and even now in Miami, I notice guys do it all the time. In Atlanta, so many women just stuck to their circles and people in theirs. You'll commonly see this at The Ivy where former Greek Life folks stay in their cliques. If you approach a girl in an NYC or Miami and she's with a dude or a group, people will just brush it off and some may even respect you for it. In Atlanta, expect for guys to straight up fight you or have an aggressive response.
I cannot help but feel that the sexual frustration and an environment that can seem so closed leads to a lot of pent up frustration in local guys. Whenever I have lived in other cities, I always found something off about fellow Atliens. They were either super judgmental, overcompensating, or just always really bitter compared to folks from elsewhere.
Misc, other.
Atlanta has its ups and downs but I still call it home. I feel like it is a good city for you to spend a year or two in to get yourself together before you move to an NYC or LA. You can also build a great life for yourself in the city once you decide to settle down. I never knew how good some aspects of it were until I left to go an NYC or a Miami.
