Context: I stayed in Jamaica for around one week, primarily in Kingston, but also made side visits to Port Antonio and Ocho Rios. Due to my daytime employment commitments, my available time for exploration was significantly diminished.

Basic information:

Jamaica mostly has flight connections from Miami and London, with additional routes available through Panama and some other Caribbean islands. The climate is characterized by a tropical and humid environment, with temperatures frequently exceeding 30 degrees Celsius. The nation possesses a commendable road network and is rather compact in size. Horizontally, you can traverse from one side to the other in approximately 4-5 hours, whereas vertically it takes about 2 hours. The country has its own official currency and the majority of the population speaks English with a distinctive accent. Additionally, there is a local language called Patois, which is a creole language. There is an international airport located in Kingston, as well as another one in Montego Bay. This location is widely renowned as a popular stop for cruise liners, and the tourism industry plays a significant role in the local economy. Negril is renowned as a prime destination for tourists seeking beach experiences, although I did not get the opportunity to visit. The beach appeared to be a solely indolent location, exclusively designated for hotel guests. Jamaica is classified as an upper middle-income nation. Prominent aspects of the culture include reggae music, the legal consumption of marijuana, and jerk chicken. The majority of Jamaicans have a tendency to engage in fraudulent activities with the intention of obtaining money from you. Individuals such as taxi drivers or street vendors. One should always anticipate being subjected to excessive fees or pricing when identified as white or a foreigner, occasionally to an absurd extent. Despite the prevalent poverty and limited modern infrastructure (except transportation), the country is unexpectedly costly.

The Capital:

Kingston serves as the primary economic and administrative center of the nation, and is the sole major urban hub in Jamaica, housing around one million individuals within its metropolitan region. Its reputation is largely negative, primarily because of the exceptionally high levels of armed violence (ranking as the second highest capital in the world in terms of homicides). I thought the capital to be really disappointing. The city lacks aesthetic appeal in every aspect. The traffic is highly disordered, with all roadways becoming inundated anytime it rains, resulting in significant time wasted in traffic congestion. Despite staying in the bustling core modern area, there was a noticeable lack of activity after 6pm, as the streets became deserted and people departed to spend time with their families. Based on conversations with Jamaican individuals, it is evident that the streets become excessively perilous around nighttime, even in the more safe regions. This is mostly due to the prevalence of armed individuals on motorcycles who engage in robbery. Consequently, foreigners have restricted access to and opportunities for experiencing nightlife. Within the confines of New Kingston, the urban environment fails to evoke the sensation of being in a sprawling metropolis. The area lacks notable attractions and although there are a few prominent chains such as Starbucks and KFC, it nevertheless gives the impression of being dilapidated and underdeveloped. There are little green spaces available. Although Uber and Airbnb are available, they are quite costly for the area and do not provide sufficient value. Airbnb accommodations typically range from $70 to $150 per night, while taxi fares for short trips can easily amount to $15 to $20. As I strolled around, I noticed that when night fell, individuals would gaze at me, perceiving me as a potentially vulnerable white man who would soon become a victim of robbery. I visited several eateries, but I must admit that I was not impressed with any of them. Indeed, you are able to consume the renowned jerk chicken, however it primarily consists of chicken seasoned with spices to create a fiery flavor. It is undeniably not a sophisticated culinary style. There was a single food delivery service that inexplicably ceased delivery operations between the hours of 7 and 8pm. Even for the motorcycle couriers, the level of risk seemed to be excessively great to be outside during nighttime. Both within Kingston and its surrounding areas, I observed a scarcity of individuals of Caucasian descent or foreign origin. Additionally, there exists a persistent inclination among Jamaican males to solicit the sale of narcotics or engage in acts of intimidation, with the purpose of assessing one's vulnerability as a potential target. The periphery of the city showcases opulent residences, discreetly tucked away from the urban core. The level of inequality appears to be exceedingly high.

Beyond the main city:

Jamaica truly excels beyond Kingston, yet the urban areas remain somewhat subpar. Upon revisiting Ocho Rios and Port Antonio, I once again found them to be unattractive and unremarkable urban areas, without intriguing amenities and attractions. However, Jamaica boasts exceptional natural beauty, featuring exquisite beaches scattered throughout the island, as well as lakes, waterfalls, and jungle rivers that offer opportunities for exploration and admiration. The entire tourism sector is likewise established with this consideration in mind. They effectively circumvent urban areas by establishing high-end hotels located on the outskirts of cities. These hotels organize excursions to the country's beaches and various natural features. Jamaica exhibits a profound level of inequality, prompting measures to limit the interaction between affluent cruise ship guests and the local population, except for the purpose of purchasing cannabis and traditional Jamaican merchandise such as colorful t-shirts and hats. Port Antonio seems to be a more pleasant city in contrast to Ocho Rios, where there seems to be a drug addict present on every street corner, ready to interact with you. Port Antonio experiences lower levels of tourism, resulting in a more laid-back atmosphere where locals are approachable and eager to assist with any inquiries. However, let me provide an illustration of the magnitude of these cities. There were no establishments in the center of Port Antonio on Sunday morning that provided a typical breakfast choice. After 9pm, the only available option for meals was the KFC. Jamaicans exhibit a strong emphasis on familial bonds, leading to a prevalent culture of home-based dining.

The notable attractions I visited included Frenchmen's Cove Beach, Blue Lagoon, Dunn's River Waterfalls, Boston Beach, and the Blue Hole. All of them were highly recommended to visit and provided excellent opportunities for capturing high-quality social media photographs. It is important to consider that there are no free things in Jamaica. There is a fee to visit the beaches, which can range from a few dollars to $15 for Frenchmen's Cove. The waterfalls also need an admission fee, approximately $20 for Dunn's River and possibly half of that for Blue Hole (which, in my opinion, was more enjoyable). Every taxi you attempt to hire will attempt to exploit your status as a tourist by charging exorbitant fees. Uber is not available in areas outside of Kingston, hence it is necessary for you to conduct your study in advance.

The females:

Generally speaking, the women in Jamaica tend to have a higher body mass. I have not encountered any other country where women, on average, exhibit a significant prevalence of obesity. And this statement is made by an individual who values movement in large bodies of water. Whether engaging in online dating or simply seeing people in public, it is anticipated that approximately 80% of individuals will be classified as overweight. It appears that certain Jamaican women can be physically attractive as they reach adulthood, typically until their early twenties, with desirable body proportions. By their mid-20s, a small number of formerly attractive women experience a little increase in weight, and by their thirties, they become overweight. This might lead to ambiguity among online acquaintances, as one may come across appealing photographs without realizing that they were taken 3-5 years ago, and the person in question has now gained 20 pounds. One notable advantage is that the girls are highly sociable, making it easy to initiate a conversation without any awkwardness. The limited number of girls I encountered exhibited proficient conversational abilities and a pleasant sense of humor.

Daygame:

Exceedingly challenging due to a multitude of factors. To begin with, there is a scarcity of public areas such as well-maintained parks, bustling public squares, or upscale shopping malls, making it difficult to determine their whereabouts. Furthermore, the level of violence decreases significantly after 6pm, resulting in a decline in overall activity. Furthermore, being a Caucasian male makes you highly conspicuous. On two occasions, while contemplating the idea of initiating a conversation with a female on the street, I saw a drug addict who vociferously attempted to sell narcotics, so attracting unwanted attention from passersby. There is a noticeable disparity in the gender distribution on the street, with a larger presence of males, many of whom exhibit disheveled and unsophisticated behavior. In Jamaica, the presence of aggressive men and the associated danger discourages lovely young women from freely walking outside, leading them to prefer staying indoors. Consequently, Jamaica lacks a culture where such women are commonly seen outdoors. As previously said, when you see a target, there is a strong likelihood that she would reply positively to a question or opener. The entirety of Jamaican culture is inherently sociable, allowing for open communication with anyone in any setting. While this is advantageous for women, it can become bothersome when men attempt to solicit goods or pose unintelligent inquiries.

The term "Nightgame" refers to activities or events that take place during the nighttime hours.

I did not investigate this much, as it was evident that it would be somewhat unusual for a Caucasian male to enter a location unaccompanied. As I strolled by several clubs and pubs, I observed a lack of liveliness, with only male patrons engaged in drinking and smoking. Reportedly, in Ocho Rios, there exists a strip club where a person of little stature engages in sexual activity with strippers on stage specifically on Fridays. Regrettably, I had already departed when I received that information. An immense chance that was not taken advantage of!

A daygame:

In the city of Kingston, the dating apps Tinder and Bumble are available for use. However, in areas outside of the capital, the online dating scene is virtually non-existent. Anticipate an online game resembling the Western culture, where female participants will reply to your messages after a few days. The prevailing security scenario will deter individuals from venturing outside their residences during the late hours. If they inquire, they would inquire about the availability of your personal vehicle, as they consider taxis, including Uber, to be risky. I managed to arrange just two dates within a week, where I invited girls to the prestigious lounge of a renowned luxury hotel. There are several instances of individuals canceling plans at the last minute due to various reasons such as illness of a child or grandparent. Girls also anticipate being treated to meals and social outings mostly. It is customary to invite a girl to dinner and for her to inquire about the specific restaurant or hotel in order to assess its level of elegance. I encountered several females who expressed a desire to acquaint themselves with me through online communication prior to arranging an in-person meeting. No one has time for that! The occasional girl also doubted the authenticity of my profile... There is a scarcity of attractive Caucasian men in Kingston, I suppose.

General overview / guide to visiting Jamaica:

I would plan to spend approximately one week in Jamaica, during which you can rent a car and explore various locations throughout the country. I  would  deliberately avoid visiting the capital city and instead focus on seeing the magnificent beaches and natural attractions. This location could potentially be an excellent choice to bring a long-term romantic partner. Alternatively, you have the option to undertake the task individually, but it is essential not to underestimate the significance of any contacts with women. There is a possibility that they will come, but there is also a possibility that they will not. Do not rely on the availability of nightlife or online gaming, unless you travel specifically for one of their renowned festivals. Those may potentially be intriguing. Jamaican women, in general, possess a pleasant demeanor. However, those that possess exceptional beauty and maintain it into their early twenties are scarce and challenging to come across. You are more likely to encounter these in immigrant communities in London or Miami. Exclude Jamaica as a potential destination for players. Superior alternatives might be found throughout Latin America.

Arrival in Armenia

Armenia is a little, erstwhile Soviet nation situated in the South Caucasus region and bordered by their adversarial nations of Turkey and Azerbaijan.  The southern border of the country shares a tiny boundary with Iran, while the northern border has a larger boundary with Georgia.  I have personally undertaken the journey from Tbilisi, Georgia to Yerevan by car, and the maximum duration of the travel is approximately four hours.  During the trip, it becomes evident that Armenia, excluding its capital Yerevan, is a dilapidated country. 

I suggest choosing Yerevan as your destination for air travel due to its visa-free policy for the majority of Western visitors. Additionally, this eliminates concerns regarding the presence of dishonest border agents who may impose unjustified penalties for nonsensical reasons. 

The Armenian population is genetically linked to the Middle Eastern region, with significant genetic affinities with Persian Iranians.  They possess high intelligence, exhibit frugal behavior, demonstrate a strong focus on business, and are adept at achieving significant results with limited resources.  Armenia is a rich source of IT expertise, and Armenians are sometimes compared to Jews in terms of their achievements despite their tiny population.  Armenians who managed to evade mass killings have dispersed around the globe.  A few individuals have started to return, prompted by the government's encouragement.  The Armenian refugees who escaped the Syrian conflict have just arrived in the country and have had a significant impact on the economy. They are well regarded by the nation. 

Women

A significant percentage of Armenian women possess remarkable physical beauty, particularly if one appreciates slender figures, olive-toned complexions, and dark hair.  Women residing in rural areas occasionally appear to have a somewhat darker complexion, whilst in urban areas, the Russian population seemed to have undergone a pleasing process of lightening.  Do not anticipate engaging in sexual activity before marriage unless the girl has resided in another country or is involved in the profession of prostitution.  Indeed, the situation is of great gravity.  Girls protect their reputation and succumb to the influence of the gossip network in that environment.

I advise against seeking romantic relationships in Armenia unless you have a serious intention to get married.

Service Quality

Armenians frequently experience underemployment, resulting in service levels that consistently surpass expectations compared to those in the United States.  In the hotel industry, they have a strong inclination towards hospitality and strive to create a positive perception of Armenia, despite prevailing unfavorable preconceptions globally.  A significant majority of Armenians employed in the service sector located in the city center are fluent in English.  In the neighborhoods, the situation is less pronounced.

The hotels and lodging establishments

All of the following hotels are located in the city center, unless stated differently.

Luxury: The Alexander Marriott, a prestigious hotel located in Yerevan, Armenia.

Second-tier options for comfort include Doubletree (located on the outside edge of the city center), Republica, Radisson Blu (while it is far from the city center, it offers affordable rates), and Hotel North Avenue.

Accommodation options within the budget include Hyatt Place, Ibis, and Congress Hotel.

The Culture

Three factors significantly influence the Armenian mindset: the Armenian Genocide, Gregorian Orthodox Christianity, and the challenging geographic location.  Armenians you encounter will consistently remind you of their status as the world's inaugural Christian nation.  Armenians take great pride in their history, including various parts that are sometimes overlooked. Consequently, many Armenians are enthusiastic about sharing and elaborating on these topics.  It is simply a consequence of being in Armenia. 

Due to the severe mistreatment of Armenians throughout the Ottoman Empire, as well as in Azerbaijan's ethnic cleansing campaigns and other locations, they frequently develop a close-knit mentality of "us versus the world."  The phrase "Otar" refers to individuals who are considered outsiders, specifically used to denote foreigners.  This statement is not intended to be derogatory, but it simply implies that they do not belong to our group.

It is important to recognize that there are two distinct regions in Armenia, namely Yerevan and all other areas outside of Yerevan. Some individuals argue that there is a third region when considering the Armenian diaspora.  Due to the disparity in development, these countries appear distinctly different.  Yerevan residents caution against engaging with those from small towns due to their heightened wariness towards foreigners, lower level of education, and comparatively less welcoming demeanor compared to the residents of Yerevan.  Additionally, I perceive that residents in Yerevan feel a sense of embarrassment towards those from smaller towns, as they view them as a negative representation of Armenia.  However, I have had enjoyable encounters pausing and wandering in the countryside regions where individuals will find amusement and joy in your presence.   

The Armenian attitude encompasses a readiness to confront and surmount challenges and difficulties, while also embracing enjoyment and amusement.  During the summer, a significant number of Armenian Americans congregate in Yerevan with the purpose of acquiring the language and reestablishing their historical ties.  I typically refrain from engaging with them, although numerous individuals approach me to greet me and inquire about my presence.

The presence of corruption and extortion inside the police force in Armenia is a significant issue.  During my previous visit, I experienced being stopped and coerced by law enforcement officers.  The locals are accustomed to this situation, however, as a foreigner with foreign license plates, I became a target.  I encountered no complications when I parked my vehicle and opted for Uber instead. 

Entertainment and social activities that take place during the evening and early hours of the morning. 
Given that Yerevan possessed a livelier nocturnal entertainment scene, my frequency of visits would significantly increase.  The prevalent establishments in Yerevan consist of dubious bars where the female employees expect you to purchase pricey beverages, a limited number of strip clubs, and venues resembling brothels where the majority of women are both overweight and single mothers.

Paparazzi is the most exceptional dance club I have visited recently, but new establishments emerge occasionally as older ones go down.  The most exceptional bars are those situated along the streets in front of the Cascade monument.

Top Choice Beyond Yerevan: A recently established Marriott hotel can be found in the picturesque resort town of Tsaghkadzor.

Be advised: Certain Armenians may advocate for your journey to the contested region of Artsakh, which remains under the jurisdiction of Azerbaijan.  I strongly discourage visiting that place due to the potential lack of support from your embassy in case of an emergency. Additionally, it is important to note that by merely visiting, you would be in violation of Azerbaijani legislation, which might result in a permanent ban from entering Azerbaijan or even imprisonment as a means of making a political statement.  The Artsakh territory is referred to as Nagorno-Karabakh by the Azeris. 

Overview If you happen to be in the vicinity of Kyiv, Tbilisi, or Baku, it is highly recommended to board a brief flight to Yerevan and allocate a period of one to two weeks for your stay.  You will find great satisfaction in the nostalgic lifestyle that individuals lead, reminiscent of the 1950s era.  In Yerevan, the emphasis is on uncomplicated joys and the importance of family.  By chance, I happened to be in Yerevan during the 2018 revolution, and I have observed noticeable improvements such as reduced corruption and a more dynamic business sector.

Once again, there is enjoyment to be experienced in that place, but approach it with the intention of seeking a life partner, rather than seeking a one-night stand.  Examine the perspective of this individual:

Phoenix, Arizona has emerged as one of the largest urban regions in the United States. It has experienced significant growth in the past few decades. According to the 2020 Census, Maricopa County, which encompasses the majority of Metro Phoenix, has an anticipated population of 4.4 million. By 1990, the population of Maricopa County was a mere 2.1 million individuals. The majority of Metro Phoenix's expansion has taken place post-World War II, resulting in a very short history for a significant portion of the population. This restricted historical context has implications for both the lifestyle and the dating landscape in the area. Phoenix's growth was delayed in comparison to neighboring Sun Belt cities such as Miami, Houston, Dallas, and New Orleans, due to the absence of easily accessible air conditioning. In 1950, shortly after the conclusion of World War II, the population of Maricopa County stood at a mere 331,700 inhabitants. When a region experiences rapid and substantial expansion, as Phoenix has, it always results in significant consequences.

Indeed, Phoenix appears to be a preferred destination for individuals fleeing California. I believe that the comparison between dry heat and humidity is entirely nonsensical. The temperature in that location is significantly more intense, and it remained uncomfortably warm even during the nighttime.

Phoenix has always been a popular destination for residents of Southern California. Las Vegas follows the same principle. Although many individuals who relocate from Southern California to Phoenix/Las Vegas are married individuals with children, there is a considerable population of singles who also make the trip from California.

The primary distinction between Phoenix and Las Vegas is in the predominance of the casino gambling sector. The casinos in Metro Phoenix are located on the periphery of the metropolitan region, specifically on tribal grounds. Phoenix offers a casino experience that eliminates the need to travel to Las Vegas. The Native American casinos faithfully recreate the ambiance of a traditional casino. At least one of them hosts pool parties that imitate the atmosphere of pool parties in Las Vegas. The Las Vegas casinos are in proximity to a wider range of nocturnal entertainment options. Phoenix has a comparatively milder atmosphere compared to Las Vegas.

The suburbs of Metro Phoenix exhibit greater activity levels compared to the core city, distinguishing it from most other metropolitan areas in the United States.

The epicenters of unmarried individuals are typically situated in proximity to the central business district of the primary city within the metropolitan region. The suburbs of Scottsdale (namely the southern section) and Tempe serve as the central areas for those leading a single lifestyle in Metro Phoenix. This is because Old Town Scottsdale and the main campus of Arizona State University are located in Tempe. Further elaboration on such topics will be provided shortly.

This occurred due to Downtown Phoenix experiencing a period of difficulty during the 1970s and 1980s, coinciding with the rapid growth of Phoenix. Prior to 1960, Phoenix was regarded as a rather small municipality. In the 1970s and 1980s, the metro was classified as a mid-sized system, but it only achieved the classification of a big metro in the 1990s. During the period prior to 1970, Phoenix has a thriving downtown district that exuded an urban atmosphere. Nevertheless, due to the significant rise in automobile usage and suburbanization, the urban core experienced a period of neglect as the metropolitan region expanded. There has been significant improvement in this regard, with several favorable neighborhoods located closer to the central area of Phoenix. The primary areas of interest for single individuals in the metropolitan region include Old Town Scottsdale and Tempe.

Arizona State University in Tempe has experienced significant growth during the 1960s, becoming one of the largest universities in the country. The institution was very small and less active until the 1960s, when it experienced a significant surge in expansion. There was available land for expansion for a period of time. Arizona State University currently operates several campuses. The Tempe campus has gained a reputation for being associated with Arizona State University's party culture and attractive female students. The Tempe area is predominantly inhabited by Arizona State University female students and a portion of recent alumni within the first few years post-graduation. The most optimal choice for day activities in Tempe is the Arizona State University campus. It is most advantageous to engage in on-campus recruitment activities while enrolled as an undergraduate or graduate student at Arizona State University. In close proximity to the school, Mill Avenue offers additional opportunities for daytime social interactions. The Mill Avenue bars serve as the focal point of the nightlife in Tempe.

The most vibrant area in Scottsdale is located in the southern half of the city, particularly in Old Town Scottsdale. Tempe lacks the refined ambiance that is seen in Old Town Scottsdale. Old Town pubs often appeal to a more mature demographic, with fewer students compared to Tempe. However, the majority of patrons at these bars are typically under the age of 30. Daytime activities can also take place in Old Town, however they are usually centered on a fitness class studio. There is a limited amount of street activity in Old Town Scottsdale. Scottsdale Fashion Square is a sizable shopping center located at the northern edge of Old Town. It might be seen as a viable alternative for daytime activities, such as socializing and meeting new people. However, it is worth noting that most towns boast multiple malls that also offer opportunities for daytime social interactions. The demographic of North Scottsdale primarily consists of women between the ages of 33 and 50.

One might potentially have a satisfactory dating life by mostly concentrating on bars and certain day game opportunities within the city borders of Phoenix. By opting for this approach, you will encounter fewer negative female dispositions. Within the center region of the metropolitan area, there exist several distinctive hiking trails that serve as ideal locations for day activities. They are Phoenix's counterparts to the beach pickup culture in Southern California or the beaches in the Miami and Tampa regions.

The intensity of heat is tangible and impacts every facet of existence, encompassing even the realm of seduction.

Between around April 15 and October 15, the temperature in Phoenix becomes exceedingly unbearable, necessitating modifications to your daily activities. Almost every day throughout this period will experience a high temperature exceeding 90 degrees. The onset of regularly high temperatures, reaching 100 degrees, typically occurs around mid-May.

This poses a greater challenge to organizing outdoor game sessions or planning outdoor dates during this season. One can potentially visit a hiking trail at 6 AM during the summer when the temperature is 75 degrees and engage in social interactions, but this may not result in obtaining a significant number of phone numbers and dates.

The period from October 15 to April 15, encompassing late Fall, Winter, and early Spring, is characterized by rather pleasant weather. The winters in Phoenix (and Tucson) do not match the exaggerated expectations. During the nighttime hours in January, when you are in Phoenix, anticipate temperatures ranging from the mid-30s to low 40s Fahrenheit about 1-2 AM. Such occurrences are not common in Miami or Tampa during the winter season. Despite the reduced level of urbanization, there are still significant fluctuations in the temperatures between day and night in the desert, but they are not as extreme as they were four decades ago.

Hiking is a popular activity for early stage dates in Metro Phoenix. The hiking trails and urban parks offer viable choices for both casual outings and initial romantic encounters during the pleasant seasons. However, it is likely that the hiking trails attract a larger number of early-stage dates compared to initial meetings. Parks are a preferable choice for obtaining phone numbers and arranging dates that would often occur at a bar.

Attractive Women with Unpleasant Dispositions

The aforementioned description aptly characterizes the White ladies in Phoenix, namely those who are frequently encountered in nightlife establishments in Scottsdale and Tempe.

The high temperature in the region serves as an incentive for women to maintain their appearance due to the minimal clothing worn. This emphasizes the significance of one's appearance. Metro Phoenix can be described as an atmosphere marked by shallowness and affected behavior.

Phoenix has a high concentration of transplant residents, which is exacerbated by the hot climate. Only a small number of inhabitants in the Phoenix area have deep ancestral ties to the region. There is a scarcity of robust social networks among those who were raised in the local vicinity. Although there are a few instances where having a circle may be beneficial, it is not a widespread occurrence. This component also contributes to the shallowness and affected behavior in the region. In the absence of social repercussions, behavior tends to deteriorate.

The likelihood of encountering these negative views is lower among Hispanic women in the area compared to White women.

To mitigate the impact of these beliefs, engaging with women through methods such as non-bar approaches or social circles is more effective than relying on the bar scene or swipe applications.

In Phoenix, the importance of superficiality cannot be overstated, as having the appropriate image greatly contributes to one's success. Men in this region make significant efforts to acquire material belongings in order to impress women. Many women opt for breast implants in order to enhance their physical appearance and attract high-status partners in their vicinity.

Is this location considered desirable for residency?

For most people, the answer to this will be “No”.

The mating environment in Metro Phoenix is hindered by both a surplus of males and unsatisfactory attitudes among females. Additionally, the region lacks a strong foundation of corporate employment. Due to the limited presence of major corporations in Metro Phoenix, many of the available business positions are unimpressive in terms of quality and prestige. Phoenix has a substantial employment base for individuals working in the medical business. Phoenix has always thrived in the medical sector, primarily because it serves as a central location for seniors seeking medical assistance.

One of the main factors that motivated people to relocate to Phoenix in previous decades is no longer relevant. Between the mid-1990s and the mid to late 2010s, there was an influx of people from the West Coast, mainly Californians, and Chicagoans who were seeking to relocate from more expensive regions. The affordability of rents and house prices in Metro Phoenix was notable. Phoenix has experienced a significant increase in housing expenses and general expenditures of life compared to 15-20 years ago, making it less affordable.

The region is situated within a delicate ecological system. The region has had excessive development since at least 1990. The Colorado River is plagued by substantial water-related challenges. This issue affects both Tucson and Las Vegas, which are in close proximity.

Although the region boasts the presence of aesthetically pleasing women and temperate winters, the drawbacks of the area, such as prevailing attitudes, work opportunities, and the overall water and climatic conditions, generally surpass the benefits.

Personally, I would prefer not to reside in the Phoenix metropolitan area. With the exception of Yuma and the Lake Havasu area, this region experiences the highest temperatures in the state and is consistently hot even during the late hours in the summer. This is partly attributed to the city's location in a valley with a lower elevation, as well as the high population density and heavy traffic, resulting in increased emissions from vehicles and the presence of extensive asphalt surfaces that trap heat. Phoenix's air quality is notably compromised due to its location in a valley and the substantial pollutants generated by vehicles. The traffic in the neighborhood is considerably congested based on my own experience. It is commonly referred to as a miniature version of Los Angeles.

Aside from Phoenix, Tucson is the only other viable choice for residing in a metropolitan center of significant size, but it has its own share of problems. The air quality is excellent and traffic congestion is primarily confined to the city's interior. This location offers abundant natural beauty and several opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts to indulge in. The primary concern of that metro system is the prevalence of poverty, characterized by a stark dichotomy between the haves and have-nots. Additionally, there is a significant problem with homelessness and drug abuse, which, although not exclusive to this area, is a pervasive issue across the entire country. The scarcity of job prospects is a significant factor contributing to the departure of UofA graduates from this area. The dating and social scene is significantly lacking in quality for individuals who are beyond the age range of university or do not identify as Mexican.

Flagstaff and Sedona, however pleasant, are geographically distant and secluded. This could potentially hinder the prospects of finding stable employment and greatly restrict opportunities for dating and socializing. Flagstaff is furthermore more costly to reside in, presumably due to its considerable isolation. The remaining areas of the state are somewhat undesirable, particularly the small villages located in Pinal County between Tucson and Phoenix. I find it difficult to fathom residing in such places.

The possibility of an adult with Asperger's syndrome should be considered when there is conflict and domestic violence in a family, say Counsellor Maxine Aston and children's services manager Ruth Forrester

The public and professionals are becoming more aware of the impact of Asperger's Syndrome on families. Asperger's is a subtle, almost paradoxical, disability which is four times more likely to be diagnosed in males. It was believed by some professionals that men with Asperger's do not marry, but this is not the case and the more able people do form relationships, marry and have children. They are often capable workers and are highly qualified but nevertheless have great difficulties in personal relationships.

Diagnosis is problematic because of disagreements about criteria, but also because of a convergence between "macho" male characteristics and many traits associated with Asperger's. There are obvious dangers in confusing the two. Research supported by the National Autistic Society into the intimate relationships of couples where one partner is affected by Asperger's shows that men with the condition tend to choose partners who are maternal, strong, and with nurturing qualities, often older than themselves. Women are attracted to men who appear to be kind, gentle and slightly immature, and who flatter with obsessive attention.

Although men with Asperger's can have relatively high status occupations, including engineers, computer specialists and university teachers, problems can arise when they are married. Attwood describes a spectrum of Asperger's behaviour, from the passive to the arrogant and aggressive, and it is likely to be the latter who perpetrate domestic violence. Also, the whole responsibility for the relationship rests with their partners, who report a feeling of "going mad", and who frequently become depressed and may take medication, yet are reluctant to separate because of concern about how the person with Asperger's will cope. Living with the condition is stressful for the family, particularly if both partners work. It might be less so in traditional families with role differentiation by gender and greater overt control of children.

Having a diagnosis can be helpful and whole family interventions can be developed to manage everyday life. Also, having Asperger's does not make a person abusive, but it can make them controlling. However, if the partner with Asperger's is in denial, he may try to deflect his problems on to his partner and the children, and there are anecdotal reports of stalking, intimidation, manipulation of children, and domestic violence. There is an added danger that in such situations men may appear to be calm, in control, and shocked to be accused of abusive behaviour when approached by the police or social workers. It is important to stress that many men with Asperger's do not harm their families, but some of the key features of Asperger's make it more difficult to address any such abuse.

Consequently, the syndrome presents challenges for service providers, because the psychodynamic model which underpins social work and mental health traditions does not help in understanding a disability which is organic. Also, there are still many misconceptions; for example, that autism is caused by poor parenting - although bad family experiences undoubtedly make problems worse.

Meanwhile, there are deficits in skills, training, and service provision. People with Asperger's are likely to present to mental health services, often through civil or criminal court action, and the condition is easily confused with psychosis or personality disorders. There has been criticism of the failure of psychiatry to learn about Asperger's, and although more progress has been made through the assessment of children by special educational needs services, what happens when people get older?

Any serious strategy to assist families must start with the principle of protecting children from significant harm, as well as the unacceptability of violence and intimidation. But what else could be done?

The National Autistic Society published Ignored or Ineligible, which set out the parameters of an effective service. This emphasised collaborative planning between statutory partners, users, carers, children and voluntary organisations. Also, educational models of the management of children with Asperger's have been developed and could inform clinical practice and family counselling. In addition, families affected by the syndrome have a special insight and can tell us about their needs. They must also be part of the solution. Meanwhile, local routes for assessment, diagnosis and clinical support should be established so that GPs and psychiatrists routinely consider Asperger's and can refer people to specialists who can confidently diagnose and offer management strategies.

This service need not be medically-led and psychologists, carers of people with learning difficulties, and speech therapists have a significant contribution to make. There also needs to be a network of services available, from care management, family counselling and employment support, to help for partners and children as carers. Links between child and adolescent mental health services and adult mental health services are crucial. Then front-line domestic violence agencies, including the police, Women's Aid and the Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service (Cafcass) need to build up their knowledge base, as should family lawyers. Currently, social work awareness of Asperger's syndrome is poor. There is some knowledge in teams working with learning difficulties but they are highly targeted and most people with the syndrome will not receive a service. Also, the identification of Asperger's is undermined by the focus of social work assessment in children's services on mothers rather than fathers.

Nevertheless, those in children's services should be able to screen, using the assessment framework, although the ability of people with the syndrome to camouflage their problems and of partners to protect them should never be underestimated. The taking of a full history is essential. Similarly, listening to children and partners is crucial, though direct accounts in the early stage of a relationship may be hard to obtain. Schools, health professionals and extended family members might also give clues about parental behaviour and its impact on children. Because of the relationship dynamics, legal intervention to protect the children (and the partner) might need to be undertaken at an early stage. Finally, practice managers should be trained so the possibility of Asperger's is considered during supervision sessions.

The danger of conflict also needs to be recognised. Anger, threats of violence and litigious complaints are features of the behaviour of some people with the syndrome. Intimidation of workers is a real possibility. To deal with threats to families or workers, clear and consistent messages need to be given that this behaviour is not acceptable, using the courts and the police to protect families and workers if necessary. Asperger's syndrome presents gender politics in families and between social workers and users at their crudest, and a key question is whether there are educational interventions which can influence adult behaviour in an intimate relationship. We would be interested to hear from any practitioner who has developed methods for working with children or adults with Asperger's who would like to contribute.

WHAT IS ASPERGER'S?

The condition was first described by Hans Asperger in 1943.

* There is a strong genetic link.

* It affects one in 250 people.

* It is an autistic spectrum disorder.

* The key diagnostic features are social relationships, communication and imagination.

* Special interests are often pursued obsessively.

* There is no cure. It can be managed through recognition, support, medication and structured counselling.

It is widely acknowledged that dating applications have outlived their usefulness. One significant issue associated with Tinder and similar dating platforms is their frequent membership of low-quality individuals, as well as their heavy reliance on physical appearance. This has effectively converted these platforms into shithole clubs frequented exclusively by morons and failures.



During its purported "golden age," Tinder exhibited a greater degree of gender parity and a more heterogeneous user population. Currently, only thirsty incels and other failures remain. Thus, in 2024, Tinder is comparable to female entertainment. Having a sub-10 photograph on Tinder is brutal. The girl swipes through your photos, mocks your appearance, laughs at your messages, and shows her friends how parched you are in order to gain more attention.



But a lot of guys are too dumb and desperate to figure this out...



Why would a woman choose a 9/10 chad when she could choose a 10/10 at any time?



A young lady I know makes an income by conversing with hundreds of men and requesting between five and twenty dollars from each of them. She would visit McDonald's, and the cashier (the type of dude who uses dating appz) would give her twenty dollars.



It always amuses me when guys say, "I don't understand girls, bro; they ghost for no apparent reason; it's as if they have no idea what they want." No, they precisely know what they want, and it's not you. Typically, the reason for this is that she considers him to be comparable to a disposable razor. While idling at home, she became restless and sought additional validation, so she began texting him. Then the real-life guy texted her back, causing her to ghost him for something real. Dating app women with whom you converse literally have dozens, if not hundreds, of men sending them weekly messages. She doesn't even have to be cute or female. In Thailand, ladyboys receive hundreds of appointments. From personal experience, despite the fact that my domestic servant maintained a modest private Instagram account, she received messages from literally dozens of men:



So what's next? Are 'meet-cutes' the new way of dating in 2024? 





@PAG initiated discussion on this topic more than a year ago through his project, "happier abroad," which essentially aims to establish an exclusive club for elite gentlemen, akin to the Playboy Mansion. This actually makes a lot of sense. Attractive women are very autonomous individuals in the process of selecting a mate. It is quite unlikely for healthy women who have choices to be easily manipulated into engaging in sexual activity. Women possess an inherent inclination to thoroughly evaluate males and acquire commitment or influence in their relationships with them. If a woman is already being pursued and courted by attractive options, it is unlikely that you can significantly increase her level of attraction, unless you are substantially superior in comparison. You must instead choose to become one of these alternatives.

In practical situations, it is the woman who selects the male and occasionally pursues him. Men who are legitimately attractive will not engage in conversations with a thousand women in an attempt to gain one or two notches. They will converse with a handful of women without any intention or motivation. Simply engage in pleasant conversation and give the woman the opportunity to win him over with her femininity and the way she makes him feel about himself. The real natural environment of hominids was less the savanna than the social group. If you were a hominid male, and people paid attention to you, carved your approval, shut up, and listened when you spoke, that meant you were a leader and had high status. Men who commanded attention commanded access to community support. That meant a good nest-maker. Humans compete less for territory than for rank. Territory and possessions are only symbols of rank. He who controls the attention has high status and is sexually attractive. 

However, many women lack the information and knowledge necessary to determine whether a male commands attention or is of high status. Therefore, women rely on social proof and preselection (a nice car, a gold watch, etc.) to determine whether or not a man enjoys the favor of his peers, acquaintances, and other women. In economics, sellers sometimes invest in "signals" to communicate quality. For example, a bank might invest in an expensive marble lobby. It doesn't make them a better bank. But customers may infer that the bank will have a long-term existence based on its substantial investment in the lobby.

Desperation, neediness, and insecurity repulse women. In order for a woman to feel confident with her decision to sleep with a man, she must feel like she chose a top-tier dude. It’s similar to how women will spend hours and hours shopping for a bag or the perfect pair of shoes, to find something totally unique yet impractical that they show off confidently. 

The problem with pickup culture and cold approach is their tendency to excessively convey one's desire for a female while failing to demonstrate one's social status and rank. Approaching a lady abruptly in the middle of the street, offering a flattering comment about her appearance, and employing a seduction technique similar to that of Tom Torero, only serves to overwhelm her. This may result in her giving up her phone number out of sympathy/politeness, but it does not actually create any genuine attraction. The same principle applies to online dating, where a connection is made and one attempts to engage in "text game" to create attraction (which inadvertently causes the girl to feel like she is getting a loser), resulting in a sense of disposability.

Regarding physical appearance, for a woman to consider a man as a potential choice, he must fall within her range of familiarity. This is a psychological phenomenon defined by individuals' tendency to acquire a preference for stimuli based merely on their familiarity. In the realm of social psychology, this occurrence is also denoted by the familiarity principle. The phenomenon has been empirically confirmed across several stimuli, including linguistic units such as words and Chinese characters, visual representations such as paintings, images of faces, and geometric forms, as well as auditory inputs in the form of noises. Within the domain of study on interpersonal attraction, it has been noted that individuals are inclined to view others as more agreeable and appealing when they engage in frequent positive interactions. Humans possess an inherent tendency to prioritize objects or experiences that are familiar to them over those that are unfamiliar. The cognitive system utilizes the notion of familiarity to evaluate the relative level of safety associated with a particular stimulus. This elucidates the rationale behind the romantic relationships between Hipster females and Hipster males. Girls in STEM fields prefer to date guys who are also in STEM fields. A Chinese individual who embraces non-mainstream fashion and cultural trends would likely have a harmonious relationship with a Chinese individual who has the same non-mainstream fashion and cultural interests. A Middle Eastern male individual with expertise in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics will find it advantageous to form a romantic relationship with a Middle Eastern female individual who also possesses expertise in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

This mere exposure effect is how much advertising works. Ads are all around us, and we frequently try to avoid listening to them. So, the messages that the ads are presenting are not likely to have a huge effect on the way we think about the product being advertised. However, just hearing the name of the brand is enough to make the product more attractive the next time we encounter it. So, you do not need to pay much attention to an ad for it to have an effect on your behavior.

Any man who has significantly enhanced his appearance, fashion sense, and social standing to the point of achieving a level of familiarity will confirm that these factors are crucial in greatly increasing the number and quality of his dating prospects. Engaging in nightlife activities, staying out until the early hours, conversing with numerous women until you encounter an individual who is sufficiently gullible to engage in intimate relations with you... or continuously scrolling through dating apps until you come across the one female who is eager for a casual encounter after a split. That is the truth about achieving regular hookups for low value men.



Of course, top-tier women have boyfriends, while high-value men attract women. These women can secure commitment from alpha males; they CAN get the whole package, so your little gimmicks and tricks to secure a quick lay are pointless. These women perceive casual sex as damaging to their SMV and social position, and they would not find it desirable if they could simply secure sex with the top men while still gaining commitment/respect. To attract these women, you must establish rapport, trust, have a fantastic conversation, and have a lot going for you. It is completely based on genuine attraction and compatibility, which cannot be purchased or taught.

Women often use "thirst traps" with sexy pictures or spicy conversational bait to weed out losers. Thirsty men will jump and throw out unearned compliments.  Confident, experienced, and secure men will stay cool and nonreactive.

Women will provoke men with "fitness tests" or "shit tests" to see whether these men enforce boundaries.  It is really hard for men on a cold streak to resist letting a woman get her way.  Again, men with options know their value, and will not tolerate bad behavior for hints of sex.  These men are willing to walk away, and this is what makes them attractive.

The point is that confident, mature men have a strong mental frame and sense of self, and a silly woman cannot change it.  These men will not get angry or upset by a shit test.  They will simply decline to play. Smart men realize that women often behave badly because they feel attraction, which is a good sign.

Here is another indirect example.  Say that you recently moved to the area or came out of a relationship. This gives you a good excuse for being single.  Women hate long-term local losers.  They will be ready to date separated or divorced men.

Attractive men also screen women specifically for sociopathic or narcissistic/BPD women. Healthy women care more about genuine connection, trust, good conversation, rapport/sharing empathy, etc. To a large extent, the dating market works well and matches tall, rich, attractive, and educated people with their counterparts.  Yes, it is harder to meet women if you are ugly and poor. So don't be so poor.

Who is using Tinder in 2024? The issue with Tinder and other dating applications is that they are frequently populated by 80% males, and they have transformed dating apps into shitty clubs that only idiots and novices frequent. During its alleged "golden age," Tinder had a more balanced gender distribution and a diverse user base. Now it's just thirsty incels and other losers.



If an individual mentions his use of dating appz, it is indicative that he is part of the incel community.

The people who recommended this place for women are insane. I didn't see any women who particularly aroused my interest. This will be about the best you'll see:





However, there are some excellent shopping options in this country, but I wouldn't stay for too long.

While shopping in Bangkok, I observed a girl who repeatedly directed her gaze towards me. Consequently, I decided to inquire if she was aware of the location of the food court. She confirmed her knowledge and offered to guide me there. Driven by curiosity, I inquired about her former romantic partner, to which she disclosed that he exhibited a strong inclination towards possessiveness. He had placed surveillance cameras in her flat to monitor her continuously from his own residence lol what a loser
