Why is major city required for game and is my city big enough?

[Magnanimous]

After school and working, I plan to move to an actual major city. But the population of my city is 160,000. Is that enough to start game?

Theres also another city an hour away which has a population of 170k (region population is 300k) so I could go there for opportunities

Unless that city is West Palm Beach or Fort Lauderdale, no way.

It's way too small if you're seriously going to be learning cold approach.

You need to be thinking Vegas, Miami, New York, LA, San Diego, Austin, Dallas etc.

Vegas and Miami are probably the best choices.

The bottom line is that you need high concentrations of attractive single girls to approach.

Such concentrations are pretty rare, requiring special locations like nightclubs, street life, outdoor malls, college towns, etc.

Even a metroplex like Dallas-Fortworth, which is the 3rd largest metroplex in the US, is lacking in good locations for game.

Game, like real-estate, is all about location, location, location. Gaming in bad locations is demoralizing and a huge waste of time.

The #1 thing you can do to improve your game is to find at least one awesome high volume, high quality location. This all depends on the city.

Is LA a game location a rival to Vegas? I'd only move to Vegas to improve my game because the world-class nightlife. After marriage I think I'd prefer LA because there's more stuff to do there than traditional nightlife. LA has eg more business and I'll pursue leadership some day.

@Leo Gura How should I choose the city to move to? Because I would have to not just consider game when moving there, but after I settle down, and how it affects my LP. Eg if I pursue leadership and start a business, it would probably be better for me to move to LA vs Vegas, because LA has better business opportunities (as im told).

Right.

You gotta find a nice balance. It all depends on your particular goals.

Pick from: LA, Vegas, NYC, Miami, Austin, Dallas, Chicago, Phoenix, Toronto, etc.

All of them have decent to great game spots.

LA has good day game opportunities in addition to night.

If you don’t have game even a big city won’t cut it. 
 

I knew guys who lived 5 minutes from the night life and he couldn’t get laid to save his life although he had the things that he supposed to have. 
 

If you live in smaller city you have to run different game like social game while if you want to shoot your shit you need bigger cities

 But the thing is if you are on this forum why would you indulge in such hedonism. People talk shit about Andrew Tate and they indulge in the same shit which is insane and not spiritual/integral.

Nothing is going to rival Vegas except maybe Miami. But LA is still a good choice.

If you’ve already been married, then I’d put an extra emphasis on living a lifestyle you want. Pick a city that matches your larger goals and that encourages success based on your personality.

For instance, if you really love the outdoors, you might do really well in a place like the Pacific NW.

Ultimately, a lot of your success does not come down to your cold approach skills. It comes down logistics, convenience, motivation and your ability to network in that particular city.

If you think LA matches up better in those areas, then I’d go with LA.

Depends on your type. 

Lisbon, Porto, Budapest, Vienna, London, (maybe Germany if you are tough), Moscow, Saint Petersberg seem to be always solid. 

[Girzo]

@Vynce Yeah, if the city has an big airport it's probably a city big enough to have constant night-life.

The best game is found in the Donbas

But always check english literacy. In latin America it cant be super difficult without some Spanish. 

I remember that the info desk at "Mexico City Airport" would not speak any english with me

You live there not us so it’s hard to judge. You gotta look around and see if there’s an abundance of women (women you’d find attractive). It’s a start, you don’t know how your gaming is gonna go before you try, you could land a girl early on, if not, if you start getting close to a thousand approaches and feel you’re running out of attractive women then maybe it’s time to try a new place, but that takes a lot of time so before you get there your little city will do

You joke, but Donetsk was supposedly insane before 2014, and Minsk before 2020, I can say with firsthand experience, was insanely easy. That said, you get to a certain age and ask yourself, how much in common do I have with a 20-year-old university student from Minsk? 

@LostSoul Bigger transient cities. The small cities in the parts of Eastern Europe that are still safely accessible are actually much harder to meet people than Western Europe, with the exception of Warsaw, Gdansk, and the more Russophone parts of Riga and Tallinn.

You don't need to move. No matter what city you live in, there are hundreds and thousands of women. You only need to find one.

London if you want amazing daygame and you can afford it. Budapest and Warsaw are budget options. What time of the year are you traveling?
