Is Daygame Not Viable in Every City?

[ChristianB]

Referring specifically to American cities, as from what I understand European cities are much more walkable and have public parks and commons areas and such.

But I have been living in a mid-sized American city for the past year or so (although I am planning on moving later this summer). Although game admittedly hasn't been a priority of late I've met girls through apps, social groups, and a bit of night game.

Since I've been here I've explored various areas to see if they might be good spots for day game: both local malls, the few main parks, the few walkable sections of the city and haven't found anything that seems good for daygame. For reference I'd consider a spot good if I could expect to see 2-3 solo cute-enough girls over the course of an hour long walk around the area. I haven't found anything close.

When visiting friends in cities like NYC, Chicago, Miami, and even college towns it is clear how day game would be extremely viable -- I wish I had the thymos to cold-approach in college. I can't help but notice when visiting other mid-sized cities that they also seem likely to have this same problem. No walkable areas, minimal parks etc.

I've always idealized day game, but it seems to me to be a very location-specific avenue of meeting girls with only a handful of major US cities in which its viable (plus vacation towns and college towns).

Is there something I'm missing or do I have a relatively accurate assessment of the viability of daygame being largely city dependent?

Looking for more generalized answer to the question to inform where I choose to live going forward and less a troubleshooting for myself as I plan on moving soon.

Thanks! Looking forward to hearing what y'all say.

I've encountered similar issues when daygaming in US cities because they can be sparse and not as walkable. I've tried malls, colleges, beaches, etc. Of those, college campuses had the best quality/volume.

While during the night, it's like all the attractive women that were missing in the day show up in mass to the bars/clubs. Night and day difference (no pun intended).

For what it's worth, my former bootcamp coach in the South who's plenty experienced told me to not use daygame as my bread and butter; maybe if you're in a city like NYC or London. But otherwise, he said to use night game as a primary avenue for girls.

Just my two cents based on the American South.

So…I live in Southern California, aka the car culture capital of the world. DG volume has never been an issue IME. But you do need to go to the right spots.
Seems to me like a lot of the issues people have are based on their frames.

Or it’s possible that I just have no clue how high the volume is in a Euro city.


Secondly, America is a huge country full of smaller towns and cities. It’s a different world 75 miles out from the city.

I actually just visited a friend in Los Angeles and it seemed like a daygame goldmine out there to me. There are countless outdoor malls, beaches, boardwalk areas, parks, big colleges, dog parks etc. Sure you have to drive from spot to spot, but once you get there theres plenty of space to walk around and plenty of cute girls enjoying the warm weather (also love how girls don't wear bras around there, I'm not used to that haha).

Not sure if it similar in rest of Southern California.

In mid-sized non-coastal cities, its totally different. People just drive to the specific store or place they're going as opposed to in LA where you can park and walk around. In the specific city I live theres not even cute girls at the dog parks, and the only cute girls I see at the mall are the one's working there. I hate to sound like I'm making excuses, but just assessing the reality of the situation. If Train and his former bootcamp coach have come to a similar conclusion, I feel like there must be some validity.

Anyways I wont be in this city much longer, so its not something I'm worried about long term. Honestly have been looking at Los Angeles as I have some friends and business opportunities. In spite of everyone else seemingly moving away from California, I might buck that trend.

If you can afford to live here, highly recommended. Be prepared to pay 1500+ for a low-end studio in a safe neighborhood.
But the weather’s pretty good. The people are friendly. You never run out of things to do and places to go.
Also, the 25+ dating market can be competitive. Step into a supermarket in West Hollywood and you’ll see what I mean.

Yeah costs are high out there. But I'm only young once, and will likely be able to afford it comfortably by then if things go well w/ my current business (knock on wood). I have some friends out there I might room with (in a house) which would certainly help costs. Even if its not the LA of 10 years ago with homelessness + rising cost of living etc, theres still something magical about SoCal whenever I visit.

I'm 24 and look young for my age, so would likely end up just go for college aged girls and recent grads. But what do you mean in regards to the 25+ dating market? Lots of cold approachers/girls used to getting approached out there?

I meant more that standards or higher, on average guys are more attractive, etc. Some girls are used to getting approached, same as in big cities.
But most guys running cold approaches in are not players. Often they’re losers. Same as everywhere else.
