Nightlife is a joke now, and has been getting worse for years, and somehow got even worse after Covid. RooshV made a post about this way back in 2016 and it's still continuing. They're even more of a sausagefest and the women are either not-trying, wearing cinderella hand me downs, or ghetto/trashy women who can't handle their alcohol, wearing incredibly ugly, tasteless, trashy hoe outfits that are so repulsive despite how revealing they tend to be.
With social proof you can still do well and find the one classy dime piece in the entire block, but otherwise it's kind of a clown show.
Grocery stores, parks, social events (like trivia night, or karoake - not a fan of the latter personally), college campuses, sports clubs (rock climbing gyms, yoga/fitness classes, tennis meetup groups, disc golf groups), beaches...and any "3rd place" with lots of foot traffic, really...
Meeting women at night clubs/bars is a waste of time unless you're a) Chad tier looks with lots of rizz, or b) you have social proof (ie, being around or knowing hot women in the venue) because otherwise you are going to deal with tons of rejections for the sake of dumpster diving.
