Why? That hasn't worked for you where you are now - what makes you think that it will be different in NY?

If you can't find a singe women that is interested in having a relationship with you where you are now - what makes you think the problem is where you live and not you yourself?

Did you not read the original post? There are no women in my social circle currently. The only method I have of meeting a girl is through some sort of cold approach


Living in NY, I will be around women/introduced to women damn near all the time because of my brother in law/his work/his social circle

I thought that you said in previous threads that you had lots of female friends and that your male friends had wives and girlfriends that you were close with.

A low six-figure income will not get you much in this area. Trust me.

Taxes are extremely high and living expenses are outrageous. Believe me, a move to this area should be deeply considered, not done on a whim.

I'd seriously rethink this.

Well, pretty much every single person on this thread thinks it's ridiculous to move to a more expensive city in the hopes of getting laid by young/hot waitresses - but it sounds like your mind is made up already. Have fun!

Right now, I see no light in the tunnel in my current situation. Year after year after year goes by and I can't even get a date, much less a girlfriend
And does your brother-in-law know he would be expected to pimp you out? Not to be crude about it, but if my ex sister-in-law expected me to introduce her to my employees in the hope of her finding a boyfriend, I would be pretty annoyed. I also wouldn't want my employees dating my family.

And honestly? I'm in the area. A 24-year-old who isn't loaded out the yin-yang and moves here with no job prospects is going to have a tough time, family connections or not.

You're in a great area. I have friends in Chicago. It's a much friendlier town. If you can't meet women there, you're doing something wrong. Moving here isn't going to change it. It's only going to make you broke.

I would be living in a suburb in jersey 10-15 minutes away from the city...standard of living will be about the same with all things considered


Also I don't care about getting laid, all I want is a girlfriend

If he doesn't move to the NYC area he'll always have the "what if?"

He said that he'll live in NJ, on his salary he'll be okay if he rents but (as you know) dating and doing things in NYC comes at a steep price and many of the women there won't go for cheap dinners.

There are more single women than single men here in NYC so yes you will be exposed to many more choices. BUT I can already tell you that you won't be getting one of the beautiful ones without a lot of personal improvement. There is a lot of money around here and your income won't compete on that level, so you can't rely on that. (A hot 23 year old waitress gets hit on all day, every day, by guys with way more experience than you.) You need to get better with women where you already are, and yes that means more "cold approaches" since you say that is all that is available to you. That, or lower your standards down to a nice average gal here in NYC.
