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)
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
And the worst city in America is . . .

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

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.

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.

"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.

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.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

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:

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.
