If you want to build a relationship with a girl you’re dating I’d suggest you move out of the big coastal cities. Either escape the city with your girl (you might have to abduct her) or find a girl in a small town, rural backwater, or suburban outpost. There is a portal of anti-love negative energy that issues rays of casual sex and polyamory from the nightlife bowels of big cities and works to tear apart any couple stumbling their way toward deeper commitment.
Think about the ways this happens:
Options = Instability
Where you have options, you have trouble sticking by one person. A man dating a girl (or girls) will feel on top of the world and suddenly all those single women traipsing around the city look like much easier targets to approach. His loins will quiver with excitement. A woman transplanted from a less populated region of the country to the big city will become enthralled with all the extra attention from men who are probably much better at playing the game than the men she left back home. Her ego will quiver with expectation.
Anonymity
How simple it is to maintain a dating carousel when hiding all the people you are banging from each other is as easy as scheduling dates on different days and in different bars, sometimes separated by only a block. When there isn’t a social network of family, friends, and people who generally give a shit about decorum to shame swingers, sexual depravity results. This truly is the golden era of genitalia.
Zero Consequences
Who’s gonna stop you from boffing your girlfriend’s hotter sister? Dad? HA. It is to laugh. Welcome to Plunderdome.
Convenience
No problem running a stable of regulars when meeting places are within walking distance of central giggity headquarters. Out in the sticks it’d be a pain to meet a second girl when she’s a 50 mile drive away.

Game players already know this phenomenon as “go to a bar / club during an off-night.” On Saturday night at a packed place, the same conditions encourage you to fuck around.
On an off-night, there are very few viable options, so you’ll stick with the one cool chick there. And there’s no anonymity, so caddish behavior will be instantly detected and shunned.
At the same time, you’ll have greater success since you will be their only viable option, and the intimacy of an off-night meeting makes her less anxious about being used.
(The token hot girl is obviously Lemmonex, judging from her face and the fact that she’s attempting to shield her phatty from the gaze of the dude in the far back.)

I was just thinking about this the other day, and it’s so true. I was thinking from the perspective of “urban areas are bad for girls”, but I just equated girls to relationships, this is more accurate.
I think it would be better to say “big cites are bad for relationships”. Smaller second and third tier cities that still have urban qualities mitigate the effect of the forces you mention by bringing the city-life down a notch. And you can avoid the small-town boredom that kills relationships in different ways.
But hot girls, don’t let this stop you from moving to a big city. It makes it a lot easier to fuck you when you’re all in one central location. Also, late night public transportation is available to avoid those awkward mornings where I laugh at you and you start crying. Oh, and you won’t have enough money to live on your own, so you’ll have to live with 3 or 4 other hot girls. And when you bring me around them in their own living quarters, that will make the jealousy/seduction/forbidden-lust trifecta a lot easier for me to accomplish. Thanks.

Roissy is so right about this……………..
Visiting a friend in New York in my twenties years ago, I thought to myself, “If I lived here, I’d want to chase women all the time, introduce myself to different one’s every day, get as many phone numbers as I can” because as we walked around town, I just seen so many good-looking women. There were tons of them, literally everywhere. I got to thinking about my pal’s divorce—reason for my visit. Hell, if you look around and see so many attractive members of the opposite sex, and many of them pay attention to you, its so easy to slip that wedding band off and flirt a little bit. Its a constant reminder that “you dont have to take her shit if you dont want to”, and that other women are still interested in you.
Its got to be the same for the ladies. Cities magnify this, but out in suburbia, away from the bars and single-scenes, but near the ball-fields, churches, community parks, children’s playgrounds and the like, a man or woman is faced with “family stuff” constantly and kids are something that you see alot—reminding the two of you that there is something more than fuck and suck. It removes temptation to get away from the swinging dicks and hot pussy.
I admire couples that can have a strong relationship in a big town when they are young, but I think the path of least resistance out in the burbs’ is just more relationship (and especially child)-friendly for the most part.

What some of the younger players (and wannabes) don’t get is that they will change and by their early to mid thirties they’ll feel the need to settle down with someone. Depending on whether you’re a late bloomer or not, early to mith 30s is when you’re at your peak male attractiveness.
Near 40, it is hard to attract women under 23, unless they’re loose (thus not wife material), or you’re exceptionally rich, good looking, or charming.
Your mentality will probably change too. I’m in my late thirties and when I see guys my age or slightly younger in DC on Friday evenings, with their bitchy-looking girlfriends, or in packs of hopeful young stags, I feel a little tinge of pity for them.

What is really interesting about this is that it is girls, much more than guys, that want to move to the Big City. Lots of young men really appreciate the outskirts and rural areas. They can go hunting, fishing, four-wheeling, ride their trucks and dream of owning a ranch one day. They don’t really mind that they do not have an authentic Malaysian restaurant nearby.
It is the girls that want to be where the action is. Hot clubs, chic restaurants, SHOPPING, and, they feel relatively safe.
The safety thing might seem counter-intuitive. But, you just ask any girl whether she would prefer to sleep, alone, in some beautiful, isolated, country home or in some cramped apartment with 2 roommates and you will know what I am talking about. Safety in numbers.
Guys? Guys don’t give a shit. Being left alone sounds like paradise to most guys.

I’m glad to see that some men who read these sites have a sense of realism about such matters. Yes, I know it isn’t exactly the same for men and women, but still, the idea that a man in his 50s can easily catch and keep a much younger woman, when he’s finally ready to commit himself, is as much of a delusion as the idea that it’s easy for a woman in her 40s to nab a great husband and have children when she’s finally ready to give up single-girl fun.
And again, yes, I am certain there are exceptions to both generalizations, but I’m speaking of probabilities here, people.

Indefinitely is certainly not an option — aging and death put real limits on things. But male value doesn’t deteriorate as rapidly as female value. The over-40 male, and even the over-50 male, have high value to a subset of women. We’re time tested and thus our value. That’s just a fact.
I’m sure YMMV, but the reality is older males in good physical shape with resources are extremely competitive at the have-sex level. At the have-relationship level many women initially reluctant to engage can’t help the genetic programming — status IS everything — alpha IS everything. And since many woman (read ~15% at least) do have older-male preference, bagging the young for marriage is not an unreasonable proposition. That’s simply the pool that one has to draw from.
It does, however, take courage, determination, discipline and effort. It can be done. My almost-2nd-wife was a 27yr-old gorgeous California model. Errors on both sides screwed it up. I am presently grooming 3 equivalents — so the sex is good too — as I hopefully bring the next “Mrs.” home.
I’m a reluctant player. I’ve been thrown back into the mating pool via divorce and a newfound desire to have some progeny. (And wasn’t that realization a shocker to me!) The latter desire means breeding age, and obviously the younger the better.
If you are older (over 40) and think you can’t have what you want — you’re wrong. identify what you need to do and do it.

gannon and el guapo are right. a man who stays in shape, looks decent, is psychologically dominant, and has game can easily catch and KEEP a woman 8-15 years younger for a long term relationship, even marriage. money or rock star status not needed. and this gets easier as he gets older and the minimum age of the women he dates shifts to above 27 or so.

8-15 years younger? Yeees, not unreasonable. I mean, I wouldn’t have been interested in a man that much older than I was, when I was in my prime marriageable years, but I know that there’s a large minority (not a majority, mind you) of women who take no issue with that kind of age difference – if good health, a well-tended appearance, fitness, and “game” are all present in the older man.
But there are limits to this kind of thing, and increasing age in the man is not the only factor working against him. A man of 40-50 who wants a woman of 23-28 may be able to nab one if he’s lucky and exceptionally attractive, but he has to be aware that most younger women want children.
My one close friend who adored older men nevertheless dumped a much older (50+) boyfriend when she was about 27 because he refused to consider children. Men, that’s one of the non-negotiables for most women; if you try to fight it, you’ll almost certainly lose.

The whole problem with being 40+ and a guy is if you want children. If you don’t want kids, there are plenty of 35-40 year old women who are still hot (although Roissy will catcall here). If you want kids you really have to enter the fiercer competition for 25-33 year olds.

Not necessarily, mq. The men who are really keen on having children have generally made their arrangements by that age. As a result, it’s not that unusual for a man of 40+ – perhaps a divorced man who has children already, or a single man who never wanted them at all (as Roissy sometimes claims about himself, for example) – to try to find a much younger woman for a wife or “LTR”, only to discover that most of these young women want children.
