Here in NYC you can imagine how hard pickup can be. But what I’ve noticed is that I don’t really have PUA skills, I just did a lot of self improvement and went with confidence. For me right now the way I noticed it, being an AD member helped me out 50% if you want to quantify the improvement. It’s not just the pheromones, it’s also the support you get when it comes down to it. I’m going to schedule a visit out to SoCal soon and NorCal to visit friends and family and see how I like it. I’ve just wanted to experience something other than east coast and I figured now is really the time to do it. I really appreciate all the input you guys gave ---

I grew up and lived in LA most of my life… I moved out to DC for my grad school and professional career 2+ years ago… I would definitely go back though, if I could. Santa Monica, Malibu, Redondo Beach, Westwood, Beverly Hills, Hollywood, Koreatown, Downtown, etc. So many places to go in LA county alone. You can pretty much meet hot women from anywhere around the world: from Armenians to Danish to Koreans to Japanese and so on… of course, last but not least, many sexy Mexicans… ---

> [@RADMAN513](#): > > Norcal Bay Area:San Fran/Berkely/San Jose… This is my personal choice. Wet and foggy winters, cool and temperate summers. San Fran is closer to being the west coast version of NYC than LA. You have the hippies and alternative scenes of Berkley, the financial district of San Fran, and the Techies from San Jose. If you’re into culture and sophistication this area has FAR more museums, symphonies, opera’s etc than Socal and the quality of women reflect that. The women in this area tend to be in shape, highly educated, sophisticated and financially affluent. Bring your A-game. Also has the largest Asian population in the state so if Asian girls are your thing this is the place to be. Oh and you’re just a few minutes outside Napa Valley/Wine Country and lemme tell ya, wine tasting tours make for an awesome first date. > Drawbacks. Cold and wet weather ain’t for everyone. Has about the highest cost of living in the state. And due to the hills following a street map of San Fran is an absolute nightmare for visitors…plan on getting lost on the way home every day for at least a month till you get your bearings. > > [Find Your Best Place](http://www.bestplaces.net/fybp/quiz.aspx) > Try this quiz and see which (if any) of the area’s you might move to fit your criteria. This is pretty much spot on. I’ve lived in NorCal since I came here in the military in 98. There’s a reason I don’t go back to the East coast lol. I absolutely love it here. I’ve made an amazing life for myself… have top quality people around me, and pursue my dreams and aspirations daily. I almost moved to SoCal but the people down there turn me off really bad. I have some awesome friends down there, but the general population is meh. ---

> [@RADMAN513](#): > > lol Thanks, yeah, I’m about 2-3 hours from the bay, 8 hours from Socal. So whichever you chose maybe we can meet up and hang. > > Oh here’s a good analogy for ya. > > The SoCal scene is for the guy that wears either Instant Jerk or Ammo, with maybe a touch of Shine > > The NorCal scene is for the guy that wears A314 with either MX301, or Ammo/Shine. where in norcal are you? 2-3 hours from the bay and 8 hours from LA makes me think north of Sac. ---

But NorCal looks good from my standpoint, but weather wise, I’m loving the prospect of San Diego. Things end up being different than the way you planned to. My aspiations for the west coast might have to be put on hold because I can’t pass u p this career opportunity. ---

> [@CoolKatDC](#): > > Ever thought about thousands of illegal immigrants that crossed the border living there?

I thought 405 goes all the way down to the border. Wait, I think it might merge with 5 close to the border, right before/after Oceanside. I know this; I’ve been to Tijuana many times 😉 ---
