The cost of living in NYC is incredibly high compared to other US cities, let alone Eastern Europe or South East Asia cities. The equivalent of $150,000 is approximately $60,000 - $75,000 in second tier US cities. Both salaries mean you will be off reasonably well and you can find a good-looking and fun girl with this salary.
Note that neither $150,000 in New York or $60,000 elsewhere is going to attract 9s or 10s for your money. Every (capital) city that you travel to, 9s and 10s will have plenty of options among the top 1% earners, simply because being a 9 or a 10 places you within the top 1% (arguably even higher) of females. If money is your joker, $60,000 will not get you anywhere.
