I just wanted to comment on a few of these, having not read replies other than the OP.
New York City- 15 - NYC shouldn't be debatable, as it is the largest city in the country with plenty of single women to date. In addition, NYC is diverse, so you are not limited to a specific niche or type of woman.
I have a brother who lives up in NYC, he recently moved so I'm not sure EXACTLY where he is right now, but every time I visit him I generally have a poor experience when it comes to women - to me NYC is just Philadelphia but with white people.
Travel is tedious and expensive (as is everything there), and the club scene from what I've experienced is about the same as it is everywhere else; mid girls, mid guys, and maybe 1 or 2 hot enough to bother approaching, with the most attractive people there generally being the workers.
Having spent some time on the dating apps when I visit isn't much better...lots of entitled ethnic women that want to be wined-and-dined, alongside below average liberal chicks that make up the majority of what's on there.
Most of the girls my brother has been with have been co-workers or through the dating apps since he complains that every girl has a bunch of hoops they want him to jump through first, and he simply doesn't have the time.
Washington DC 13- I sense you might be questioning this post. In DC, being a decent and masculine guy is an advantage, as many competitors tend to be pajama boy try-hard political types. Despite the feminist image, women in DC are likely to overlook that if they find you attractive.
I'm surprised this is even on the list. I used to see a modeling/acting coach on a regular basis who lived in the heart of the city.
Nobody looked good here...it's liberal hell with people walking the streets with rainbow-colored hair still wearing their virus masks and identifying as whatever they feel like on that day. Even the dating apps didn't have much worth mentioning.
Only thing is I can't offer my two cents on the club/bar scene, but that's partly because I didn't see anybody out there that made me interested in finding out.
Miami- 12- Plenty of hot single women, activities to do, but the women are picky AF and typemax for rich guys, machismo latino guys, or jacked six pack bro guys. Miami can sometimes feel like paradise or a headache.
Visited South Beach for my birthday a few years back. Granted it was late April, so not quite "beach season", but it was nice enough for people to be out. Didn't see anybody attractive out on the beach, couple of cuties having brunch or whatever at these cabana restaurants, but yes, quite expensive.
Went out to LIV nightclub that night and had one of the worst times out ever. Literally every semi-attractive girl went straight to this VIP section and were kept separate from the rest of us. "Rest of us" being just about every dude in a mosh pit with a couple whales sprinkled here and there.
Charlotte 9 - Pretty much Atlanta lite, and might be the most under appreciated city on this list aside from DC.
Never considered this one. I have some cousins that live in Raleigh and I myself went to UNCW for my first two years. Considering it was a beach town, the girls were attractive, tan, and sweet. However, the night life revolved entirely around this strip of 3 or 4 beach bars and the women were generally conservative; purity rings were a common thing down there, and previously I thought they were just a television trope.
Minneapolis 9.5 - Gets really cold, but you shouldn't have any issues getting laid here.
Phoenix 8 - A woman living in Phoenix has more than likely been humbled, buttt there's a reason she's not in California or somewhere else. The quality of women takes a hit here. The true core of the Big Sky country and Southwest are some rough looking women.
I'm most interested in these two...Arizona seems like it would have similar quality to California without being liberal hell with overpriced living. I like beaches and warm areas because the weather requires people to stay in shape if they want to look good, since they'll be dressing down most of the year as opposed to places like NY.
Minneapolis I'd never even heard of being a good place of dating outside of this, so I'd be curious about how good this is.
The reason certain cities like Philadelphia
I live close enough to here that I can offer some opinions. Most of the times I'd been out in Philly have been with whatever girl I was with at the time, so I don't have too much single experience here, but from what I see it has a nice nightlife.
Living in Delaware, this is one of the few places we default to, though unfortunately it's around a 30-40 minute drive and usually carries NYC-lite expenses. The attractive girls I've seen out there often seem like they themselves are visiting rather than living there, seeing as Philadelphia is one of the more violent cities once you get outside of the nightlife area. If I remember correctly, there was a period not long ago where Philadelphia had at least 1 murder for every day out of the year or something.
Not a great place, but where I live, not a lot of alternatives either.
