Having traveled fairly extensively at this point, I can pretty confidently say: big capital cities / meccas / super metropolises have the best quantity + quality by far (using capital here not as "seat of government" but as "the top city in the nation/region").
If you haven't been to a big capital city, like New York City in the U.S. or London in the U.K. or Tokyo in Japan, you'll probably think you've been places that have fair amount of attractive women before. Go to one of THESE cities (and go to the right parts of town; e.g., not the ghetto or the suburbs) and you'll never want to live anywhere else.
Next down are the regional capitals, like Los Angeles or Osaka. These places generally have good selections, but they can't compare to the truly huge capital dominating their national culture.
Anecdotally, from knowing lots of girls in a bunch of these cities, it seems to be that:
- Attractive women go where the most ambitious men are (because they want to meet them), and those are capital cities
- Giant capital cities have an additional advantage of being dense and crowded, cramming lots of people into small space
You end up with a filtering mechanism whereby the one or two "capital" cities in your country or region filter out most of the cutest girls, then regional capitals act as magnets for some of the girls who don't like super dense cities or aren't as confident or as ambitious or as cute, and so on and so forth as you go down the list.
So, like, in the U.S., you get New York as more-or-less hands-down the best place for beautiful girls in the country if you've spent any length of time there. Los Angeles is okay, San Diego is fine for what it is. Two I hear are pretty okay but haven't made it to yet are Chicago and Miami. Denver's small but has some good talent. D.C. and Philadelphia are kind of in the middle. Then you get places like San Francisco, Kansas City, or St. Louis that are kind of for the dogs. Still some cute girls there but you're stretching.
Generally what happens is the most beautiful women and the most ambitious men end up in the same place, by and large. It's why, in smaller cities, you'll frequently have more attractive male populations than female populations. Just because a guy is good-looking doesn't mean he's ambitious (so why move?), but many more girls who are good-looking
become ambitious, because they realize they can get some really high caliber guys.
Borders and boundaries restrict movement to a certain degree, which is why you'll see a bunch of cities in Eastern Europe that have loads of beautiful women, but plenty of cities in North America that are lacking in pretty girls to meet - there's more of a barrier moving from Estonia to Lithuania, even if they're closer by, than there is to move from Atlanta to New York, because of language, culture, and network differences.
The filters aren't perfect, so you'll still have
some good-looking girls even in small-ish towns without much industry, but they get fewer and farther between as you go down the rungs from capital cities to regional capitals to lower tier cities to large towns to small towns to villages.
But basically, the huge capital cities will tend not just to have larger quantities of pretty girls, but they also have higher percentages of them, too. Assuming you can afford the price of living in the closest capital city, it's the best place to head for easy pickings and prime selection. If you can't, it might be worth considering a capital city somewhere else in the world if an abundance of beautiful women for as little effort as possible is a priority.
Also worth keeping in mind some guys have specific tastes. If a guy really likes running VIP table service game and has club connections and ins, he might find Las Vegas heaven, even though most of the women who make their way their are pretty mediocre (setting aside all the hype). If his game is perfectly matched for the smaller number of pretty women who do filter there, he may do better there than he'd do in New York. Or, if he's super into hipster culture, maybe Austin is his Nirvana. Depends on the guy as well as the female population. More cute girls doesn't necessarily mean better prospects if a guy's style is better fitted to a different kind of crowd than comprises the place with the most girls.
You may go through an adjustment period relocating to a new city with cuter girls, where you realize there are a lot MORE attractive women, but you're sleeping with women a lot LESS. Usually it's just a phase as you adjust for the way things work in your new town, though I've seen guys pick up and go back to where they came from after years never cracking the local girls, not being able to make the new place work for them. Each guy's different.
