Introduction

There's always a lot of talk about how being in the top 20% is all context and will always depend on you're immediate surroundings. All of that is true.

You could make $150,000 a year (easily top 5% income for a single male). In the Midwest that's enough to live an extremely comfortable life. Take that to San Francisco and it's chump change.

You could be pretty handsome and in shape, but go down to Coachella and you'll be at best average looking in the sea of man candy and sexy sluts.

Why not just go where you'll be a top 20% 10% 5% or 1% stud?

Body

Without giving away too much PII, I was born and raised in dirty New Jersey. For those not familiar, this is the home of the Jersey shore. The stereotype is somewhat true in the sense that guys here are very well built compared to most other states. Outside of military towns, I've never seen rates of steroid usage as high as they are in NJ. I'm scrawny compared to some of the Freak Beasts I know.

Compared to NJ, when I lived in North Carolina, and went out to Raleigh and the triangle area. I felt like an ethnic Viking that came to pillage all the unsatisfied women around me. I was getting laid in NJ, but I felt like a king in NC because I was easily top 5% in overall appearance.

This is a dramatic example, but the point I'm trying to make is that if you are an overall top 20% man, but you're just mediocre compared to people in you're immediate environment, then just leave. Go to where you'll have the overall advantage. This doesn't have to apply SMV, but I'll be specifically discussing that. Here are some examples of things guys could do.

  1. If you make 6 figures and you're capable of being mobile, try living in a large city in the midwest or anywhere you like where you'll basically be loaded compared to everyone else.

  2. If you're a handsome guy, but you're essentially an apparition in a nightclub, then focus on day game where you can still pull hard.

  3. If you're from a country where getting pussy is damn near impossible. Study/Word hard and get the fuck out.

  4. If you're still in high school. Get you're grades keep lifting and excelling at all that shit that matters for college. Go to a good state school that's loaded with sluts. (Get a real degree if you're there).

There are also minor things that you could do. Something as easy as trying a different bar that attracts different demographics could make a world of difference.

You could be bottom 50% in one and top 5% in the other, and all it takes is walking a block to that new bar. This could be because the bar you were originally going to is loaded with studs who just graduated college. They dress well they lift, they're tall and they're all trying to get laid. You blend right in the crowd. In the other bar guys may dress kind of shittier, maybe they aren't as in shape as you, either way you might as well go where the odds are stacked in your favor, not against.

Conclusion

All of us here are trying to be the best we can be. As a result some of us really get off on overcoming adversity, and trying to succeed against the odds. That's fine, but why not just try playing the game you know you can win at. Keep on improving so you can be a winner everywhere you go, but for now just go where you know you can get what you want.
