Not specifically for that purpose.
Any move should always be with a view to enriching yourself, either financially or culturally.
If you've got no bitches in your hometown, what makes you think you'll get bitches who have more options?

>>34568814
"Worth it" is an unclear term. You are absolutely going to meet more hot, intelligent, wealthy women in NYC. If that's your goal and you can pay a minimum of $4,500 (if lucky) for a one-bedroom @ 50th or north of there and you are fine paying $20 for a drink when you go to SOHO, you have the option. Keep in mind that their standards for long term stuff will be sky-high, but they are also less stuck up than Kentucky girls who think they are amazing if they just aren't fat.

"Where are you from" is the first question they ask, and you better own it. Also, everyone is flashing their black cards.

Nice picture.

>>34568827
Yeah i don't really want to move to a city really i like outdoor activities and having a car. I do like the idea of having a lot of girls nearby though

>If you've got no bitches in your hometown,
i have had some just not many

>>34568831
yeah the pricing shit turns me off. my friend used to live in the upper east side and I couldn't believe how many absolutely gorgeous girls there were. but he was living in a box practically.

>Nice picture
yep manhattan in 30s i believe before most of the skyscrapers

>>34568854
I think it depends on how old you are, if under 30, you could "just do it for the girls" for a year or two. If over 30, the whole $150,000/year to scrape by thing becomes a lot more iffy. If you are like 25 or under you COULD live on Long Island and commute or Brooklyn, but it won't be the same as being pass-out drunk and able to subway home without LIRR and it's not like girls are coming home with you to Long Island. Car is NOT doable in Manhattan on that $150,000 budget just due to parking, etc.

If you are educated, fit, and can swing it, it might be worth taking your shot. I genuinely meet (as in talk for hours or romantic) more girls there in a day than in a fly-over in a year, and I am using literally in the intended sense there.

I am a "monk mode maxer" in the sense that I pretend it doesn't matter where I grind, but the reality is that there is definitely something motivational about rooftop parties and hot girls all around you, going outside and shit bustling (if you don't get ran over by a bike or a car).

So I dunno man, depends on your situation, but the reality is that flyover people ARE shit by a huge margin due to a number of factors - wealth, education, drive, etc. As much as I want to say it's a meme, it's not.

im 27 and make 110k as is so im comfortable where i am, i think in manhattan i would have to get a different job or paybump. is living in Brooklyn a dealbreaker for dating someone in manhattan? would complicate it. My friend made about what i do now but he lived with 2 other people in a dingy apartment there. Not sure I could do that.

>>34568917
Brooklyn would complicate it, but it's not fully a deal breaker.

I am also not confident that you would actually get a pay bump in NYC, that's the problem, the salaries don't really adjust. The well-paying jobs are through connections mostly, and the "standard" jobs adjust maybe 5-10%, if at all.

Based on everything you said, I would probably try it anyway, unless you are seriously working on a business or a large (30-50k) career jump right now.

I seriously regret not actually moving, up there with friends / for work, but I am also older. So I guess my advice is to do it, but it's going to be a HUGE stretch on 110k, and that's not 4chan "lol poor" trolling - I know 110k isn't bad at your age, but it's a stretch for NYC.

Just from talking to you for 2 mins it feels like YOU should try it.

>>34568854
Why not try moving closer to a small or medium city where you can have both outdoorsy stuff and more of a dating life with girls who like outdoorsy stuff in their life too instead of moving into a big expensive city where you will meet girls who chose to live in a big city.
Heck you could just stay somewhere for a weekend or a week, see how you like getting around there and see what it’s like on the apps/bars for meeting girls. Have a nice vacation then think about if you want to commit. Doesn’t have to be all or nothing.

>>34568831
>less stuck up than Kentucky girls
in NYC often they are the same women from Kentucky or wherever else except they went to college or got a job in NYC.

>>34568917
>is living in Brooklyn a dealbreaker
just don't live in Jersey or Staten island. The other boros have close to manhattan neighborhoods.

>>34569034
That's generally not true in the way you are implying. If they went to college in NYC, they either have a scholarship or money, and drive to get out of KY. That already puts them way above the average (even non-redneck) KY girl.

Are there "NYC girls" working at Saphorra and living 3 to an apartment to meet rich guys and startup founders. Sure. But we aren't talking about them.

And the fact of the matter is that you have to hustle at least a bit to exist in NYC.

>>34569138
I'm from new york, you are talking about manhattan and you are gonna find half the women there are from omaha with an office job. I have gotten with girls from the south too I think one of the carolinas. Those other chicks will be in queens or some shit.

>>34568814
go to /trv/, the consensus is its not easier to get laid in NYC, if anything its harder because women have higher standards. if you're a social person you might meet more people, but your chances are exactly the same anywhere. the only reason to move to NYC is if you're 6 ft and attractive and need more sluts to bang.

>>34568814
I moved from Chicago to a smaller city, a retirement area, and dating is probably easier here since there is less competition — it’s not just mindlessly scrolling through unlimited tinder profiles. There just aren’t as many people here my age, so there is kind of an instant connection when you do meet a younger person

>>34570713
No this is the hustle and bustle thread, you've made a wrong turn.

Who the fuck moves to a different place just to get a chance at hittin em bitches??

>>34571343
lots of people
i regret not doing it
maybe not even to find a partner but just friends or to socialize at all.

>>34570713
>from Chicago to a smaller city, a retirement area
Funny because this thread is me thinking the reverse. i live in SWFL. i love the outdoors stuff.

IDK I travel a lot for work and I seem to meet better girls away from home.

If I had a wife I would probably stay here or move to a rural place lol

>>34570677
I'm not sure it would be harder I got sex there one time just by hanging around 230 fifth and hitting on all the girls. so many foreign chicks end up there

>>34568814
You should be moving there for yourself first and foremost, but big cities do provide you loads of chances to meet new people.
Just make sure you actually like the city you’re considering a move to. Visit it first and spend some time there pretending that you aren’t a tourist.

I’m making a big move like this myself soon. Moving from a town with ~14k people to NYC, mostly because I like the city and have visited several times over the years but also because I like the people there.

>>34571590
not op
i'm nearing 35 i feel like it's too late to bother making such a move

>>34570470
>you are talking about manhattan
yes

>>34571569
> i love the outdoors stuff
Move to Denver, same story with hiking girls in that one college town by mountain trails.

>>34570713
>There just aren’t as many people here my age
This is a key point I alluded to but didn't say outright - flyovers have lots of old people, it's a huge part of the problem.

>230 fifth
This, or Brothers, flyovers just don't have this volume, full stop.

>>34571614
It depends, NYC also tends to be more age tolerant in the sense that 30+ year olds aren't expected to sit home. But depends on a bunch of factors, like if you are still looking to meet someone, etc. It's mostly a cost question for most people considering it.

i'm not in america so i wasn't considering NYC specifically, just some capital city around here which would double or triple my COL

>>34571632
Way longer discussion depending on current country, income, goals in life, education, and so on and so forth.

Basically the tldr is that if you immigrate you HAVE to be exceptional because some Americans DO have a base here, whether it's a small house they inherit from grandma, a large inheritance, a connections network, etc. You are on your own, running shit from scratch, and it's a big difference. You could be in top 10% of income and you will still have a lifestyle of someone who makes half that, etc. In short, we can get into it, but I would need a ton of details. But no, 35 is not too late if you have some sort of reasonable plan of what you are going to do in the US.
