Hello all,

Is the game best suited to big cities like NYC,LA etc where there are huge clubs, lot of targets etc..? I am asking bcoz I have improved myself and done everything what top puas say, but in a small city like Albany I find it very hard to even hook sets regularly..i read bootcamp reports and see even newbies kiss close in day 1..so i used to think something is wrong with my technique..then i watched lot of videos of real pickups and saw that those are usually done in clubs where its not that loud to talk,targets are stationary, girls are atleast willing to listen to what u say..but here in albany, with barely 2 small clubs,no target rich environments, most targets are in very loud areas, most sets r very mobile, usually only 1 or 2 sets in quieter areas....only game possible seems dance floor game..has anyone experienced anything similar? someone in small cities?

I've moved from Chicago to Savannah and there is definitely a change in the subtlies of the game(huge city with midwestern attitude to medium/small city with southern attitude). In Savannah people are genuinely nice, and will not blow you out right away if all you just say hello. A hello is almost guaranteed to get a few lines of ploite conversation lined up behind it. I have found that if I neg at all, unless it is a HB8.5+ who is stuck up on herself, it is a turn off, and women get almost offended. I would also say in smaller towns you have to be a little more subtle because word gets around and you have the potential to see people multiple times. I would say the format is the same no matter what, but the openers and converstion threads need to be modified to match the locality. Also, peacocking may need to be modified in smaller towns, I think in some cases you can disqualify youself if you dress too far out from the normal. For example, a guy in a suit in a mostly biker bar.

yeah i completely agree leviathan7..word gets quickly spread and i see the same crowd all the time..negs should be very carefully used..but did u find any change in the girls behavior?Did u used to find lots of stationary sets, quieter sections and easier to game in chicago? my main problem is extremely mobile sets, very loud venues etc..unfortunately only those are available in albany..whats situtation in savannah..i would be happy to get some tips..

i look at smaller town game the same as college game, its all about networking. i've had quite a bit of success just throwing myself into all the different party scenes around and pretty much trying to know every hb i see and have a way of going out to the bar or partying with them. basically exactly as i did it at college.
