Social circle
Guys on here that are doing the nomadic lifestyle thing might not like it, but social circle will always be king. Women want status, and social proof/belonging to a social circle (better yet, being king of a circle) is the most basic way the female hindbrain understands value. It was mentioned in another thread - the decrease in people having sex thread I think - but the whole pick-up world and its ability to be a successful avenue was really a lucky confluence of circmustances in the world, or at least it is appearing to be. I'd argue that most guy's one night stands are either the result of being connected to a girl through social circle to some degree anyways.
I think you're going to end up being right about the lucky congruence thing, or at least it's appearing that way, since too many guys may have jumped on the bandwagon in one small area. Iceland and Poland being the biggest examples. With that said, I don't think we should give up travel and resort to our shitty social circles at home just because global online game may have hit its peak. Like someone said above, it's time to use the updated knowledge to our advantage. Part of my theory is that it may be individual locations that are played out and maybe second or third tier places, or even new countries, are being kept under wraps because PUAs really don't seem to write about destinations anymore. Basically what I'm saying is, guys need to start making more effort on market research and doing their homework.
Me personally, social circle game is really not an option for my lifestyle. I'm not really someone that has enough roots anywhere to really make that work, being in solo work environments and traveling out of my area (and planning on traveling in the future) whenever I can. Despite the metoo stuff lately, I notice people my age in normal office environments still meet for relationships through work or at least their social network through work. The lone wolf guys like myself are really gonna have to make a strong effort to find new ways in or stand out.
To kind of contradict your statement, I have never gotten a social circle lay in my life. 100% of mine have been through either online game or night game, with I think about 80% of my lifetime bangs coming from outside my home country. So you can say I've really benefited from the past system this decade, but I will have to find new ways to make it work. I remember one destination I went back to just a year later had basically 0 tinder effect versus the first time when I was actually getting some strong matches.
For women overall, it's hard to say where they are meeting men most often now because I'm not a 20's girl. I don't think it's from Tinder given the ratios presented. There is a stigma now from tinder about it being a sex app. With these ratios, it may be time to stop living in the past with tinder, accept that we had a good five year or so run with it, and move on to the new avenues. Guys in other travel forums really only think about tinder and hostels for meeting chicks. We can still be ahead of the curve. I'm not gonna be as harsh as to say adapt or die, but we as a forum really need to get out of the gutter and start getting some optimism back again. If I can do that in one of the shittiest parts of America for women, I'm sure you guys can abroad with more feminine girls available.
As far back as I could remember, I always wanted to be a player.
