I've lived in big cities (millions of people), medium sized cities (500K) smaller towns (150,000) and small towns (50K to 100K). At this time, I'm in a smaller town surrounded by smaller towns and the nearest big cities are 1 and 2 hours away.
The game is so radically different in these towns you can't reasonably communicate with other players if they live in a different type of city. Small towns have extraordinary scarcity of hot single women. Some large cities have an embarrassingly large number. So, a guy like Amante (I'm told he is in the NYC area I don't know if he is) is going to have access to an enormous number of single women whereas guys like myself at least in theory have access to smaller numbers.
I lived in NYC at one point and I had to exert almost no energy or effort to meet women. I didn't even go to bars or clubs. I didn't even have to go to cafes. All I had to do was walk around in public in order to meet women. Women openly eye fvcked me on the street. Women stalked me from store to store while I walked around town. Many women approached or started conversations. There was no "shield" of any kind as far as opening or conversation. Women in NYC, at least up until the point I actually learned some game, were by far the most sexually aggressive women I had ever met in my life. What's odd is that I was knee deep in work, never went to the gym and had gained a significant amount of weight. Didn't matter. Women were still pursuing me in large numbers. Random women started up conversations about sex as the opening topic. I had teen girls staring at my crotch for the entire duration of train rides. This was over the course of just a few weeks. There is little question I would have had far more women than I could handle if I had stayed even just a few months.
FF to a small town social mixer recently. In a group of a couple of dozen, there was exactly ONE attractive women under 40 (just barely). There were only FOUR women present. Twenty men. 2 or 3 of us talked almost exclusively with this lone attractive woman under 40. She also happened to be the only "single" woman there. One single attractive woman in a group of two dozen. In addition to the two of us, there are 6 or 7 watching or listening in on the periphery who wanted in.
This means EXTREME SCARCITY in small towns. This means almost all of the attractive single women are gravitating towards a very limited number of the most attractive single men. Even there, this group of good looking guys have their leverage compromised due to the overwhelming number of orbiters and potential orbiters waiting and lurking.
I can improve my leverage enormously by driving 45 minutes to 1 hour out. But then that's 2 hours of driving, recovery time from drinking if I drive back or a costly airbnb otherwise. Even in this situation with a large increase of single attractive women the pool is still relatively small. Pairing up is the norm. As is marriage.
To put it very simply, only a small number of the very largest cities IN THE WORLD are designed to accommodate "game" as it's understood on this forum or other male oriented forums.
"The game" ie cold approaching, is simply ineffective, even impossible in almost every city and state not only in the US but the entire world. Unless you live in NYC/LA/Vegas/Miami or a half dozen of the other largest cities in the US, forget it. Cold approach is not the strategy to pursue.
