*repost with less sensationalist title*

Boys, I want to hear any and all reactions to this. Mind I live in NYC.

once upon a time the Everyman could go out at night and practice the dark arts of game, befriend many people, get some numbers, get some kisses, and maybe even take home a pretty lady. While this is still possible, I believe that the era of night game essentially ended with Covid, after a slow multi year decline.

Today, night game is a fools errand. Women will entertain attention, but in my observation, and experience, it is rare for them to leave their girlfriends and go home with a guy. Any girl that just wants to get smashed is going to open up bumble rather than leave her friends group on a Saturday night. Even if you're doing literally everything right and she's into you, the barriers are just so great. And it’s also not as common for a phone number to convert to a date. So many phone numbers I get now lead absolutely nowhere.

There are many forces at play here. And I think we all know what they are so I won’t even go there. Notably, I'm not hopping on the doomerist bandwagon about "the end of dating" or whatever we see on youtube. While this may have a bit of truth and even relevancy, I'm trying to observe and discuss what I believe I see happening on the ground in nightlife. I’ve been in the field in and out for 15 years now. And I seen some things. While things have improved n some ways, I’d say overall it’s shittier for the median male today in nightlife than early 2010's. So much so that I’m calling the end of night game.

Even with with the relative increased success of East Asians and Blacks today, the bias towards (in favor of) literally any average white dude in Nyc is jaw dropping. It’s honestly shocking how easy any basic white guy in Nyc has it, but I digress. Still relatively hard for South Asians imo, surprisingly.

Maybe I’m just old and worn out, maybe. But I’m throwing in the towel on night game. It’s just no longer a good time investment. Open to ideas on how to reposition myself.
