Any takers on this one. Basically, a nice urban setting (where one can walk to places) and where seems to be alot of young people.
"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.
Cool places to live in NYC metro area besides Hoboken?

"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.

Actually, Harlem is becoming very upscale and a move-to destation for young people.
Brooklyn is going in that direction, too.

Harlem, give me a break. I am white, have NO desire to live in Harlem and would not be welcome either.
Parts of Brooklyn are cool, as well as Queens. Manhattan is too expensive and chaotic.
"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.

It's surprising, you living in the tristate area and having about as much knowledge of NYC as some denizen of middle america or even worse a down-south hick. You need to get your facts straight bro...

That is because I am from the Southern part of NJ and never ventured off into NYC often.

Harlem or anything above 125th st is going through gentrification as it has been for some time- higher rents are driving many of the minorities or lower income people that lived there for years out (most likely to the bronx) in favor of middle to upper class professionals (many of whom are white). With that said, even in the more predominately black and latino neighborhoods, you won't be bothered because of the color of your skin. This isn't the 70s and 80s where you would no doubt be risking an ass whopping for venturing into one of those neighborhoods as a caucasian.
And regardless, it's new york-you can be in one of the most affluent neghborhoods in the city and then walk one block down and be in the ghetto.
If you want a nice neighborhood with reasonable prices I would suggest an area like forest hills in queens or certain parts of brooklyn (such as williamsburg which will probably become pretty darn expensive in a few years).

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

However, racism still exists and the races are still very segregated...look around you.
A predominant black neighborhood prefers not to have any white people in their neighborhood and vice versa. If you think otherwise, you are ignorant.

When I take the train into NYC, I see a lot of upscale looking apartments near the 125th st station that weren't there before.
