The Limits of Social Circle Game

[kody_starr]

Living in a small ish area, I've been experimenting with social circle game. The results so far, are not what I'd been hoping for. What's happening around here is that the smarter, more ambitious, generally more interesting people, are leaving as soon as they can. Very often, when they go off to college.

The "remainder" are individuals who are the ones having difficulties: financial, emotional, etc. For reasons which are not yet clear to me, many, perhaps a majority are substance abusers of one kind or another: alcohol, cigs, harder drugs, sometimes all of the above.

Their down time away from work, seems to consist of hanging out with other people who are mutual abusers. So anyway, here is a typical profile of those who are still single but still living in the local area:

1. drug abuse
2. not ambitious
3. small minded

I could go on, but I choose not to. The first issue alone is enough to remove them from the list.

Increasingly, it looks as if my best option is to move out as soon as possible. As they say, you can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig.

I'm with you man.

It's challenging to cultivate abundance when you're fishing in a very shallow pond.

I grew up on a farm and still live in the country, it's a small city 45 minutes from a major city. I would not trade the way I grew up for ANYTHING, every boy should grow up baling hay, riding horses, showing steers, building hay forts, driving tractors, shooting rifles, and all the wonderful things I got to do as a kid. To this day, I could never trade seeing the stars in panorama and hearing coyotes at night for smog and congestion and yuppie sh!t (blech!). Did it in college, that was enough for me.

But I also acknowledge that the vast majority of what I would consider "available" women will be found around cities.

So my intention is to build my fin serv practice to exceptional success and buy a large horse farm outside a big city.

Big city women with country livin'. Yessir.

I like that man. Best of both worlds! I actually started up another thread about that: great areas to live in with hot females...

Your thread title is a bit misleading. It's more like, "the limits of living in a small town" rather than the limits of social circle game.

I live in Los Angeles, and let me confirm, there is no limit to the success that can come from social circle game.

It's more like the limits of social circle game in a small town I suppose. My main concern here you are correct is not with social circle game itself but the types of people you meet through specific social circles. In small towns, it's a lot of non-ambitious people sedating themselves heavily with drugs so they can get through the next week.

If you can meet really cool people in social circles elsewhere, then by all means, do so. I've tried this several times in small towns with the same yield each time.
