crap .. baltimore must really suck... I used to think Portland, Oregon was bad, but at least the crime isn't through the roof. (panhandlers everywhere though)
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
And the worst city in America is . . .

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Portland is the cleanest, most beautiful city I have ever seen.
I'll second Camden NJ.
I swear that there are blocks there that look like the Air force bombed it.
And I'll throw Atlantic City in the mix too, Pacific Avenue is ok, not great though. But if you get a few streets off of it, it real bad. Mediterranian ave. is the cheapest space in Monopoly for a reason, apparently.
Whitepimp where are you from? I live near Vineland.

Do a search for "portland sucks"
people write about how portland sucks.. ha
Portland is good for artists, calling center specialists, customer service specialists, collections specialists, and white trash who put couches on their front lawns in SE Portland.

“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.
I used to freeze the second a beautiful woman looked my way. Frustrated. Awkward. Watching other guys walk away with the girl while I stood there tongue-tied.
Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

Detroit, are you guys kidding? Have you been there?
It's got a fantastic music scene (including a world-class symphony orchestra, as well as diverse pop, rock, electronica, rap, and avant-garde acts), world-class museums and tourist attractions, casinos, sports teams that are contending for the championships, universities, and outdoor attractions, including some of the best walleye and musky fishing on the planet right in the city in the Detroit River and nearby in Lake St. Clair and Lake Erie.
And it's dirt cheap. My house payment is $240 per month for a detached house.
Yeah, I know there's a lot wrong with the city: much of it is a cesspool of crime, the economy is rough to say the least, and city government really sucks, but there's also a real lot that's good about it.
Flint, on the other hand, is pretty dire in just about all respects.

We only have 4 or 5 major cities in Australia

there are one or two areas in each of our cities that a crap holes, but an entire city??

any city that has lost 1/2 of its population over the last 40 years = sh!thole.
roughly off the top of my head, the ones that have lost 1/2 would be...
st. louis
baltimore
detroit
new orleans
pittsburg
philadelphia
washington DC
many others.
ive been to most of them. i would say pittsburg and detroit are the worst of the lot.
detroit has the best ruins this side of Rome. 5 story blgs that have been abandoned long ago, crumbling, with TREES GROWING FROM THE INSIDE!
@ lordson...these are all generalizations. every one of those cities is within quite a large metropoliton area, and everyone of them has 'suburb' sprawls that are very nice, $million+ homes. every city has its crapholes. several of the districts of Paris (the ones NOT on the postcards) smell like piss.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I am from NJ and I will have to agree Camden is one of the worst. I got lost in there once and it just looked like the City of Stalingrad after its big battle.
Newark is not completely bad. It is quite nice and safe by the train station. There is the ironbound section there with all of the great Portuguese restaurants.

The best thing to come out of Baltimore was the TV series... and even that was named 'Homicide'.
I've never been to Houston, but apparently it's the ugliest, smoggiest, worst-designed place in the country.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Man, I agree. I was in Camden about 2 weeks ago. Holy sh1t. Every red light I hit I was tempted to run. It looks like the earth swallowed the city and puked it back up.Das said:

Yeah, kinda. Our next door neighbor bloomington is more of a sh!thole.PrinceBeavis said:
That is a racist comment to make on several levels. I don't think you did it intentionally, but it just shows how men have been pvssified thru education, media and propaganda - white men in particular.Phyzzle said:
The statement implies white = weak boy, while simultaneously implying blacks are violent and prone to attack whites.
The true test is switching how races are labeled, i.e. giving TobaccoChaw Arkansas the backwoods award for "you gonna die black boy"
Ugly either way

Newark. Hands down.
I once got arrested for looking like a criminal there. Apparently some dude with my same jacket robbed a liquor store and I spent the night in jail, after the cops roughed me up some. I didn't even get an apology.
Then there was the time I got attacked by homo thugs (yes they exist) Thankfully they were all drunk and I am a fast runner.
Oh, and what about the time I got stranded in the airport because the ticketing agent screwed up my reservation, and I spent Christmas night sleeping in the airport? That was fun.
Toss in the horrible aesthetics, fowl smell, rampant crime and lack of anything resembling culture and there you have it.. America's sh!ttiest city.

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
