Observations on NYC's scene.

[BillyPilgrim]

The thing is that Manhattan is likely to have the most alphas simply due to alpha males from elsewhere moving there for work. Then you have the more "hood" parts of NY like the Bronx which are full of your DGAF type of wild alpha males, a lot on the wrong side of the law. The biggest try hard beta males in NYC are from places like Long Island, they bark loud about being tough but then ignore history, such as how their great grandparents chickened out of the Bronx and Brooklyn once more blacks and Hispanics moved in next door.

Unfortunately, you have to deal with these try-hards who are the poster child for "Bridge and Tunnel people ruining nightclubs". Loud, confrontational for no reason, and flat out irritating to deal with. Their women however love being screwed by Manhattan guys and it is all too common for a Long Island woman going to the city for a weekend to sleep with a couple of Manhattan guys. Poor ole orbiter is back home in Long Island posting on Alt Right boards while the woman he has been orbiting is likely getting Blacked.

There's nothing wrong with White you Pinko!

The 20 Best Cities for Young People Looking to Put Down Roots

Young people have a lot of options when it comes to settling down. Here are 20 great cities they may want to call home.

financebuzz.com

This article which recently came out pretty much sums it all but I have to say every city not just NYC has changed since covid hit and no city in the US is the same as it was 10 years ago being from new York and being raised in miami I can attest to that fact.

NYC has declined massively since the pandemic, especially in regards to the uptick in crime. IMO, I think in this century another US city is going to replace NYC as America's top city and I won't be surprised to see NYC end up like Detroit.

I think the movie don juan epitomizes what guy from jersey and new York are mostly like.

Houston doesn't get a lot of media clout, but I fear if it happens the population growth here will explode.

You mean with Joseph Gordon Levitt? LMAO, far from it. Far far from it.

Just watched this video, dear god the scene in the city has declined by just so much. Never knew Manhattan to be this awful.

No the character he plays and Mark wahlberg as well

Far from it, far from it, that's more Phili or South Boston, heck even Chicago.

Dallas has always gotten more media hype than Houston.

Austin gets it too but Austin is a feminist shiithole.

Dallas and Houston are the best cities in Texas.

Texas and Florida are good. NYC and the big Calfifornia cities are headed down the toilet.

Dear god, this is the most NYC-level street fight you'd see bro...

@SW15 and @Jake_Gyllenhaal69

A lot of big name projects found in Texas and if Musk gets to work on his hyperloop or whatever, things can get big in the state. I can see Houston getting up there but right now, in terms of just unseating NYC, I do feel like San Francisco has gotten the closest due to the power of Big Tech and the influence it has had internationally. However, California has had a lot of bad leadership so it is going downhill in that regard.

I would rather try to get my penis wet in New York City as compared to Los Angeles or San Francisco. Too many sausages out west.

TBH, getting it wet in LA would be worthy of some pride. LA has some of, if not, the hottest girls in the country compared to NYC and the competition is 10x more alpha.

This might remind you of home, NYC DJ tries to get into a fight with Arizona Truck Driver, when bark meets bite lol

 

[Jake_Gyllenhaal69]

I remember I went to LA and some random hot blonde girl bought me a drink and started a convo with me. This was before I had game though

There use to be a guy here @Snowplowman that use to post nightlife videos back in 2012 those videos really blew my mind cause they were lit

He's taken most of them down but they got better and better

^^Footage of him and various models

Honestly, I'm almost 40 I don't care for the nightlife anymore don't miss it either but I do wish that I was able to hit up Manhattan back in 2012 but I was to broke then

At what age did you start to get tired of nightlife? New York City nightlife is even different than nightlife in other big US cities.

22 Took a break was burned out by 26
But didn't truly retire until 31. I go out once in a blue moon but a far cry in my 20s when I use to go out every weekend

I've mentioned Nashville as a city I like, but I also have to say I love Baton Rouge, since I did grad school there. Higher quality women are most certainly in smaller towns - and certainly, college towns. I dig the 5'9" platinum blonde in knee-high leather boots as much as the next guy, but the only real thing I enjoyed about NYC was attending a Late Night with Jimmy Fallon taping.

 

[Jesse Pinkman]

Thought I'd do an update here since I visited NYC for a week.

Nightlife is alive and kickin, you appreciate how unreal it is after you move out.

I thought that after the pandemic it would die out but boy oh boy was I wrong. When I say back to normal, it was back to normal big time. Some venues still did require the vaxx card, strangely enough but most did not. I went back and man the energy was unreal. I compare that to my time in Miami so far and NYC is at least 3 tiers above this city on the nightlife. So many bars and the tailor made logistics, it is easy mode. I cannot believe how I let opportunities pass in my first go at the city and now that I am stuck in Miami which has the same logistical situation of LA, man I am kickin myself.

The women are as thirsty as ever.

I got approached more in a week in NYC than I have been in a month in Miami. Come to think of it, I have not been approached nearly as much in Miami as I ever have in NYC. The women in the city were thirsty, cool, and responded well to eye contact during night game. So many were genuinely having a good time and were happy to be there. You do not get this sort of energy in Miami unless they are clearly tourists but you got this energy in NYC left and right. People were happy despite it being cold and freezing, at times even raining. Maybe it is because I went for a week as a tourist but the energy was unreal.

Way more masks.

Yup, still more masks in 2022. People still masking up like crazy which was a culture shock compared to being in Miami where COVID has more or less gone away. Went and there were people masked up, a decent amount at least. Could be because it is winter time but that is the one thing I do not miss about NYC. People are not over COVID and still scared of it coming back, despite the boosters and all. Swear I saw so many signs saying to get your booster, even when I was in the cab they were talking about the new booster they released and to go get it.

Does feel sketchier.

Yup, it was a lot sketchier on this go than what I remember. The homeless were more aggressive and taking public transit was just a freakshow. Much more crazy homeless people on the trains and they were more aggressive too. Before the pandemic, I never saw them harass or try to get on the pedestrians. When I went this go round, at least 2 instances of normal people being harassed and shouting of a homeless person on drugs trying to get touchy with them. Crime has clearly gone up and you saw some remnants of that on the streets. I used to live in East Village and even there, the homeless population has gotten way worse when I went. I am not sure if it will continue to get worse.

The other thing I noticed, in Manhattan itself, was more closed businesses and boarded up apartments. I know it started during the pandemic but the remnants of it are still there.

Streets felt emptier than I was used to.

Some say it is due to remote work but I went to a restaurant I'd go to during my work days, I worked at the office at the time. Back in those days, you had really long lines and everything. I went three straight days for lunch and there was barely a line. I'd see some of the retail stores, in Times Square of all places, and it seemed like there were not as many people in them compared to the old days. Could be a country wide thing itself but in NYC, you noticed it. Like you noticed a Foot Locker barely having any customers this go around and it felt more abandoned.

It was not like before COVID, that's for sure.

I've never seen women in Dallas act thirsty. It's very rare to see a Dallas woman approach. In most Western US cities, the women aren't the slightest bit thirsty.

Very few people are indoor masking in Dallas. It has been that way for months.

That's a good reason not to live in New York City.
