Over the past decade, many dating coaches have said that NYC is the king of day game (these are dating coaches who have traveled to many cities). Historically I would agree to that statement. NYC is the largest city in the USA (one of the largest in the world). It's population density is unmatched to most other larger cities in the USA, where you walk in any part of NYC and there could be tons and tons of women walking by, like an unlimited funnel. One of the most influential day game legends originated in the streets of NYC in the early 2000's. Extremely large city, many beautiful women, many different races, NYC is hard to beat when you look at those factors. Historically NYC and LA were like the two most popular cities in the USA for people to move to who wanted to get into modeling/acting/entertainment industry where lots of beautiful women are in.

however.............. That was in the early 2000's.

Fast forward to today, in 2026, NYC is still the largest city in the USA, still the most densely populated, still has many beautiful women, and many different races, (which is good news)

but.... I am hearing that NYC today is way more progressive than it used to be. Feminism has dominated in this city more so than it did in the early 2000's, (all US cities that are far left have turned into crazy progressive feminists). These are the types of women who don't like age gap relationships because of stupid power dynamic excuses, believe in all kinds of crazy ideas. I live in Seattle currently and no firsthand how bad feminism and progressiveness have ruined the dating scene for men.

On top of that, I have heard many people are moving out of NYC more so than in the past, so who knows how long NYC will still remain the largest city in the USA, could take decades before that happens though, so that might be premature to worry about, however there is a sense I hear from many people echoing that NYC does not have the "energy" it once had when you step inside it. It's like that energy it once had is long gone. I heard that for the entertainment industry no one has any incentive or need to move to LA/NYC anymore since everything is global now or online.

So what do you think? Is it still worth it to go to NYC to do day game in 2026 with the positives of this city (large, densly populated, large amount of beautiful women) or does the negatives of it (feminism growth) outweigh the good? Or does the good outweigh the negative?

As someone who is 40, I was recently thinking of moving to NYC (most likely influeneced by the nostalgic memories of the good old days of NYC), but after hearing about all the progressives and feminists dominating in NYC, I am having 2nd thoughts.

If NYC is not worth it, then what is better? Easy there anything better in the USA? I miss the good old days before the world became crazy, the women today just feel like they are crazy under some spell, and social media is a big part of it.
