I missed out on MAA pool parties during my prime years because I didn't have a good enough job/good roommate at the time. My friends in cities other cities did and they got a lot of social status off of them.
In the opening paragraph of the thread below, I gave some pool party definition, I'll revive that here....
After using the Search function here, I realize that there hasn't been a lot of discussion about getting laid as a result of going to pool parties. The lay doesn't have to happen on the same day as the pool party, but at some time after meeting a woman at a pool party. Let me be more specific...

When I'm talking about pool parties, I'm not talking about a pool party at one apartment complex of maybe 200-400 units with less than 30 people around the pool. I'm not typically talking about a narrow, social circle backyard pool party either. I'm talking about larger pool parties, often with DJs connected to a business (bar/restaurant, hotel) with hundreds of semi-strangers attending. Sure, there may be 2-4 sets of people who know each other. It's like a nightclub type vibe during the day. In my experience, these type of pool parties tend to be bigger sausage fests and don't usually live up to the hype as a pickup option.
A pool party at an MAA complex isn't the same as the pool parties I described above. A lot of MAA complexes are between 200-400 units, but some can go above. Their pool parties have more than 30 people at them on weekends. They can start to resemble the nightclub type vibe during the day, but they aren't directly connected to a business like a bar/restaurant or hotel.
MAA wasn't much of a player in the Dallas market until they acquired Post Properties in 2016. Post had the stronger brand in the 2000s-2010s than MAA. MAA seems to have picked up where Post Properties left off.
The MAA complex pool parties are likely a better option than the pool parties I describe in the quote above. However, when a certain number of people arrive at a pool party, it starts to look and feel more like a nightclub vibe during the day with way too many sausages out there.
In order to live in an MAA complex, a lot of people get roommates. MAA complexes are much more affordable in a 2 bedroom with a roommate than in a 1 bedroom alone. Both men and women who are 22-32 commonly do this. MAA complexes tend to appeal to the bougie college graduate set.
I have noticed and do know of an older guy (late 30s to early 40s) that hangs out with the kids at the pool party. They never pulled the younger girls and always dated a girl in their mid 30s closer to their age.
There are men 35+ who live in MAA complexes in Sun Belt cities. It wouldn't be unusual to see something like a 37 year old man making $110,000/year living in a 1 bedroom apartment in an MAA complex. If there's a guy who is 35-44 living in an MAA complex, his income is likely in the $90,000 - $140,000 range. He's likely in the "semi-successful" category discussed in the thread below. These guys at best can pull girlfriends close to their own ages, but aren't going to pull 10+ years younger in most cases.
Men in this category, $75k-$125k salary, relatively in shape, drive a good car, has a few hobbies, women do not want. Why? Because this man has standards. Women do not want to work for their men. Women of today want a simp or a millionaire. Simple as that. This is what society aka social media...
