Jacksonville ...
I lived here from 13-22.
Pretty cool city. Pros and cons of course.
Pros being nice weather, relatively safe (except North Jax which is straight up hood, but you'd have no reason to go there anyway), lots of food options and nice nature.
Cons being the need to drive everywhere, aggressive redneck men, a huge police presence, pervasive Christian influence, and poor ratios in the bars/clubs. Oh, and the con de la con - it's in America.![[Image: wink.gif]](https://rooshvforum.network/images/smilies/wink.gif)
There's a huge, ever-expanding mall near the University of North Florida called St. John's Town Center. Plenty of great day game opportunities here. At the university too. Often, girls have a cute southern accent.
Night game is split three ways between the beaches, the town center and down town.
The main problem in Jax, especially if you're a clubber/barrer is logistics. This is the biggest city in the US by land area so it's not like a European city where you can meet a gal in a cafe and be back at your place smoothly within a few hours because your apartment is around the corner... In Jax, drive you must!
There are plenty of cute girls. Not like Miami, but still ok. There's also the Southern culture of eating too much and turning into a fat slob. So you'll see that too.
Ratios generally favor women so you might have your work cut out for you. Not too much ethnic diversity. It's mostly white chicks. Men are pretty aggressive and you'll encounter a lot of D-bags who want to fight you or get in your face. If you see a guy with a camo hat on, you he can probably whoop your ass unless you know how to fight. And he probably will if you give him a slight reason. Women can also be really bitchy/dismissive esp. in night life situations. Mostly to do with ratios of course.
Jax is really growing though. The indie music scene is pretty sweet (check out the local bands Opiate Eyes), and the city as a whole is quite affordable. There's a lot to do. You can go kayaking/boating on the beautiful St. John's river, watch MMA fights live, eat out (a lot of nice restaurants around like 95 Cordoba in St. Augustine and Augustine Grille in Ponte Vedra Beach).
Again...you must drive. Logistics will kill you here. I can't COUNT how many times things have fizzled out due to poor logistics! "Let's drive back to my place" is so suggestive, but perhaps even more than that, it's a commitment of time, and the need to return in the morning, etc. Exception obviously being if you have a hotel room in one of the prime locations.
Even though this is technically a part of the bible belt, you'll be able to tell token good girls apart from normal gals who are relatively unspoiled by the poison of christianity. But prepared to deal with a woman's out-loud self flagellation and guilt issues surrounding sex after the act...
