Hi Peterfa. Welcome to MGTOW and thanks for joining.
It’s a good question but I had a thought recently when I was in Los Angeles.
Someone did something which I find to be generally unacceptable, but I noticed it was common there. So said to a relative stranger within earshot: “What the hell is wrong with people here?”. And the response was: “Man, this is LA”.
OK. I understand “when in Rome you do as the Romans do” but this should not be acceptable ANYWHERE – on the planet. But people write it off with “Man ,this is LA”….as if the “environment” (or geography) somehow makes it OK.
It doesn’t.
What Im getting at is, I believe you can create an ideal environment and life for yourself in more places than we think. I don’t need to travel to Asia to live well and enjoy life more. A lot of world travel and I noticed downtown Hong Kong ALSO has MacDonald’s, Chanel, Hugo Boss, Starbucks, Apple stores, and everything else. SO does Toronto. So does LA. So does Sydney. So does Venice. After a while I had to REMIND myself of what city I was in, because they all start to “blend”.
Approach an American Girl in America, and she will be closed off and bitchy toward receiving male attention (i.e the recent “street harassment” bulls~~~)…. but exactly the same girl will be OPEN to it when she is on vacation in Italy. Not because Italy doesn’t also have Starbucks and MacDonald’s and Chanel.. but it’s all in her PERCEPTION.
It’s “creepy” in America.. but it’s “Romance” in Italy.
Exactly the same behavior. Exactly the same chick. Different perception.
While I agree that Toronto is a s~~~hole and a social toilet with terrible whether and a crackhead mayor (and I have read it’s one of the WORST cities if you’re guy)…. YES, I don’t like it at all, but I don’t behave any differently there than I do when I am in LA. In BOTH places, we can still refuse to let the state into our private lives and cultivate a life completely void of feminism or any toxic bulls~~~.
This isn’t a lecture or a pep talk of any kind. I’ve just learned that I’ve noticed a remarkable change when taking an attitude that my environment is a product of ME … rather than living discontented as a product of my environment.
• I love Japan (and have always said I would move there in a heartbeat) But the Japanese will tell me it’s an asexual wasteland.
• I love Eastern European girls, but my Russian buddies tell me they are even bigger gold digging bitches. (i can even see it if I look closer)
• I loved the cultural feeling when I was in South America, but Ignis will maintain women are much worse than I remember.
It’s in the PERCEPTION.
As long as you can create an atmosphere and life of contentment, you’ll do fine anywhere. We can MAKE it that way. Maybe it’s not TOTALLY true, but it helps me keep things in perspective. So I have long stopped asking “what is the best city/country if you’re a guy”… why not ask “what is the best LIFE I CAN CREATE FOR MYSELF — no matter where I am“.
If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.
