Perfect Place to Day Game

[Guest]

That's to say, better to wake up at a decent time on saturday and catch a jogger on katy trail or a grocery shopper at whole foods or one of the bull's apartment ladies... Better that than going out Friday night, rolling home at 4am after going to ihop, drunk as a sailor, sleep in till 2am... On a good night end up w some skanky raspy voice stinky girl of questionable value, NO more.

What I'm about to say I have said for years and is controversial (but I usually am so fuck it):

The problem with night venues in Dallas is the culture of our 'fine city.'

Dallas, the home of the $30K millionaire (a term coined to describe a unique creature that calls Dallas home). We are the city of the try hards. Materialistic and superficial. The nexus of this behavior is Uptown. Uptown is the mecca for women that are hot and try to parlay their beauty into a relationship with a doctor, lawyer, or other high salaried/weathly man.

I've heard it time and time again from women. "Uptown is the big leagues, it's where we'll find doctors and lawyers." I've actually heard this exact same conversation between two women in Sherlock's, Blackfinn (twice), and a few times in Uptown. I'm sure some of you guys have hears something very similar.

Just like in high school, which I liken Uptown to be very much like, the hotties and the popular kids gravitate to this part of the city because of the prestige that they believe it posseses. This leaves a dirth of hot, high value women patroning places like Addison, Greenville, or Deep Ellum.

Because of this beauty drain to Uptown, it has left Addison and other parts of the city with mediocre talent. But, talent can still be found. The issue is that the ratio is fucked up. Instead of the venue having 20% hotties, the venue now has 5% hotties. The remaining hotties then come to believe that they are even more attractive than they truly are because of all of the attention that they are getting from men. Eventually, one of two things happens to the remaining hotties: 1) they leave and go to Uptown OR 2) they stay, enjoy the attention, grip onto an uber strong, uber thick bitch shield, and go home alone but happy with the knowledge that they're super hot (i.e. massive validation).

This then pushes more men to Uptown seeking out better opportunities with hotties. For those women that are in Uptown there are way more opportunities and tons of men. The sheer number of men reduces every man's value in the venue (lack of scarcity) and the eagerness of these men to approach hot women increases the value that women believe they possess. Lots of validation boosts their value just like in say Addison. Lots of men reduces our value. This results in a value gap that is virtually unbridgable unless you have super tight game, which some of us do (but many of us don't care enough any more to really run).

I also suspect that most of these women are looking for an odd mix of alpha and beta male...maybe initially they want him to pass their shit tests, but only to eventually forfeit to her demands. It's hard to say. Just from empirical evidence alone, I think there's something to this. I work with a few young girls all of which are 7s and 8s. I've met their boyfriends and hung out with them and their friends in the past. The Uptown girls almost always have beta boyfriends but the girls don't really seem to respect the boyfriends (cheating is very possible, although I've never heard or seen any indications of it). The girls that are not from Uptown have probably been nailed by a few of us...seriously, they like alpha men, strong guys, assholes. The Uptown guys are uber beta to their girls, while the non-Uptown guys are pretty big assholes to their girls (I'm in the latter group). I think that women always want to fuck an alpha versus a beta, that's a given. But, in Uptown, I wonder if 90% of the women there are really seeking out a husband, who will almost always be inherently beta. It seems if she's seeking out something long-term she is drawn to the beta, if it's something short-term it's always the alpha. I dunno, still working that out in my head.

But, I digress. In my opinion, the issue is that there is no alternative to Uptown. There's no competition. When girls want to go out, they think Uptown because that's where you go to be seen. When men think about where to go out, we think Uptown because that's where the hotties are at.

Until there is at least one legit alternative to Uptown, then I'm afraid Dallas's nightlife will continue to suffer.

My prediction is this: Deep Ellum will save Dallas's nightlife. They need about 4 or 5 more venues to fill out the strip. That part of the city is a great alternative to Uptown because it's the exact opposite of Uptown. Once this part of the city starts rocking again, then it will start to draw hot women out of Uptown that have grown tired of the try hard scene (and there are a lot of them). The competition will be back and things will be normalized.

Until then, we have to make a few choices:

1) Go to Uptown and enjoy the spectacle of douche bags trying to out douche each other. While fighting for a fucking $10 drink.
2) Go to Addison and the other areas and marvel at the lack of talent. While getting obliterated on $5 drinks.
3) Stay home.
4) Day Game.
