Here's the cold hard truth:

There are basically two types of singles in Vegas: people like you, who come and go, looking for a good time and hopefully to make a few bucks and everyone else trying desperately to avoid that type.

Now, do you really think the female version of you moves down here to schlep with a bus boy? No, and everyone quickly realizes that and "re-invents" himself which is why you hear people talk about how hard it is to meet people and how fake everyone is. You might find the occasional drunk tourist, but I would guess you can scale back that condom budget significantly.

By the way, your "I don't buy drinks" strategy fails miserably in Vegas and here is why: ladies are down on vacation with their friends, usually a decent sized group and usually watching out for each other a bit. So no matter how charming Ms. Right Now finds you, you are buying her friends drinks or they drag her off to find someone who will.

All that said, it's a great city and you can have a great time down here. But if you primary motivation is you think you'll be kicking women out of your bed two at a time, you will be very disappointed.

Sorry bro but your a chump, plain and simple. I have a buddy who went to Vegas and found a girl who bought him lobster and gave him an open credit card to use provided he stayed at her hotel and banged her. lol. This is just one random example.

You guys are making me more interested in Vegas, obviously there are a lot of clueless guys living there. :-)

Like I said I wont be interested in gold diggers or girls wanting a free ride to chat with me. Aparently no one giving advice works in restaurants either. You don't know how retarded you sound when you try to act better than me with your big time jobs. I make more working in restaurants than I can with my BA in business. If I wanted to I could get a more respectable job, but if I ended up a buser it wouldn't be for very long. Most likely I will end up in charge as a manager or end up being a server. The service industry is a quick way to land a job and from there the oppurtunities would be endless. Regardless I know how to steer a conversation away from my work, Im not boring like you are. Maybe your problem Clark is that your such a boring guy and try to buy your way into stuff and then sit there and talk about your job when your suppose to be out to having fun. Maybe that could be your problem buddy? Regardless I apoligize that your a vegas virgin. I agree that if you have no confidence or personality or ability to quickly reject girls that dont meet up with what your looking for, and has no idea how to pick the right place to go -- if you got none of those skills -- than you damn well better have money or be a high roller.

Oh whoa is me -- Vegas sucks -- you have to "flaunt" your status and buy everyone drinks and kiss all the girls ass. Losers....

Look buddy boy -- I want to go to a city to get out of this small town and have more options on ALL levels. That's my primary reason for coming, it's not just the ladies anyhow, but anyone who tells me I can't have fun with ladies without buying a bunch of rounds of drinks or being rich -- is a first class "CHUMP". Plain and simple. I can see you right now, "bragging" about your "status", buying her AND her friends a bunch of drinks because your afraid if you don't her friends will drag her off (why did you pick a girl with a huge group of friends in the first place moron?), and talking about boring things like work the whole time. Then wondering why they girls use you for your drinks, and going to bed bitter -- so you can take it out on some guy on the internet who is trying to get out of his boring small town and have more fun....

Mack wild, you have created one of the most interesting posts and threads on here that I have ever read in months.

First let me say, I am a female and absolutely love Las Vegas. Don't live there yet but have been there many, many times. Have also been to New York, Martha's Vineyard, LA, Hilton Head, Myrtle Beach, Cancun, Daytona, Padra Island and the formerly mentioned Put-In-Bay. If you are looking for a party place, and you are, all of the above qualify. I also live in a small, boring, economically depressed city without kickass malls, free open air concerts, good clubs nor can any people watching be done because no one is out to people watch.

I hear what you are saying and I understand what you are saying and I also know and have experienced what the locals are telling you about Las Vegas and it's straight up accurate. I'm sure the girls in your hometown look like cows and want nothing more than to find a man to support their four kids. At the other extreme end of the spectrum is Las Vegas; tourist magnet full of glitz and glamour or extremely seedy if one doesn't have the bucks to support that style of life. From sorting out everything you have written and reading between the lines, to find what you are looking for, would it not maybe be a better idea to split it down the middle and consider a more affordable party place like Hilton Head or back to Martha's Vineyard?

I think you've agreed, along with everyone else, you are content working in a lower income position. These jobs are also available in the cities I have suggested and the girls will still be coming there to to party but your money will end up stretching much further. At this point I have to say if you believe your friend when he tells you that bull**** about party girls buying him lobster and paying his bills for services rendered, we have to quit talking. There is NO gorgeous party girl out there paying for anyone.
If he's found some airhead that he claims is paying him for services rendered, then she's some tramp looking for love and she wouldn't much less have the money to pay for lobster or even know what lobster is. That leaves us cutting right down the middle again. Your best hopes, since your value system ultimately includes easy, frequent sex in the name of partying, is to be exposed to a nice middle class girl whose inhibititions are gone from drinking more than she is acustomed to, enjoy your evening together and than hope like Hell afterwards she really is whom she pretended to be last night and you didn't just end up sleeping with 640 other guys who had been God knows where previously.
From my point of view, that's the best advice I can give you.
Good luck.

Right and then the ones that are remotely good looking have a bit of a chip on their shoulder because they are like the high roller girls in Vegas would be.

Well the thing is that Martha's Vinyard is only in season 3 months a year.

Not "content" but it's a good starting point in a far away land unless one somehow sets up a job ahead of time, which is virtually impossible without first traveling there to interview and then traveling all the way back, so it's just easier to go there and do it.

Quote:

Not necessarily, even in Martha's Vinyard a good night out is gonna cost some money, even when I dont have to pay for transportation because the proximity places are 800 a month instead of 600 a month. Also the drinks are indeed around 8 or 9 bucks after the tip. So pretty much aside from the extra 20 in covers in Vegas, it is about similar. Of course in Vegas if you want to sit you have to pay extra, but I dont think I need to be amoung the top dog in the club in order for women to talk to me. Are you telling me you never talked with a guy standing up? Are you telling me that every single time you went to a club in Vegas that you were invited to a table? Are you telling me that every single girl in Vegas ends up sat at a table with some dude who got enough people together to split the cost?

I know guys that go into strip joints there and chat up the girls without even paying money!! (besides the cover)

Oh no -- she wasn't paying -- it was her seperated husbands credit card.

You women are so cruel to eachother. A girl who knows how to have a good time and is comfortable with her sexuality and doesn't make sex into a big deal is deemed a "sl-ut" or "trash". That doesn't seem fair to me, Im glad I'm not a female. What a double standard. It's not fair to you guys at all and quite hypocritical.

See now you've hurt my feelings. I have slept with girls who haven't had anything to drink missy.

You know sometimes they don't turn out to be who they pretended to be but they will always be considered a friend and I encourage girls to be themselves and authentic and not try to impress me. Also USUALLY they have not slept with 640 guys. If they tell me they have slept with 15 guys I just assume around 30, regardless it's our little secret and really none of my bizznis and "certainly" not any of your bizznis.

Your advice and experience is much appreciated, although your stereotypes and assumptions are a little rude. Thanks anyways though, I guess no ones "perfect" right?

Im glad you enjoyed all this LBS -- afterall -- I did it just for you. The truth is that I already have things like crabs, herpes, sypholis and HIV, so why should I be "scared"?? lol. j/k.

No seriously though, somehow people have got the idea that I am just some kind of sex fiend or something. No. I'm just not looking for a wife and kids right now, that's all. Can't you all remember a time when you were in that phase of your life? Sure you can.

A lot of rude stereotypes being thrown at me that I don't really owe any explanation for. I DO feel somewhat close to all of you since you have all been very forthcoming and honest with me about how you think, and I appreciate that, so I will give you the real scoop:

Truth is that for me if sex happens with a girl than it will happen as a natural result of something that we both want, it will be meant to be. After that, whatever is meant to be will be but I will always consider her a friend even if we never speak again, and whether or not we get physical. I am out for some excitement and adventure. Since I am not a homosexual, I tend to really enjoy having fun with women, but having fun with other single guys is awesome too. Fact is I just want to move to a place where there are more people in general to meet and have fun with and live life to the fullest whenever i get the oppurtunity to financially and timewise. So please -- lets stop projecting onto me ok? If people have better idea's of where I can accomplish this, please let me know. Thanks.

Sure he did......and then he woke up and went back to bussing his tables at the Waffle House. That's a bs story if I ever heard one (ohh- btw- it's been told many times before by other people's "friends" too....). But if you really think that's what happens in Vegas, by all means, please go there and you'll quickly get a dose of reality.

Not cool man, your suppose to be a moderator! Im not going to respond to anymore of this sillyness.

Who says I will get a job bussing tables? If I did it would be at a good restaurant not the waffle house and probably as a second job. Regardless any girl who demands to know what I do right now, is a gold digger and I wont take it anywhere. What should matter are my dreams and aspirations. What should matter is my courage and spontanuity. What should matter is how I make her feel, not what I am doing right now. I had no problem in Martha's Vinyard with the fact I worked in restaurants, in fact I hung out with a lot of the girls that worked there.

If this is such a huge huge problem then it is a issue that is isolated to the west coast. I've never been out there, maybe there are some huge image issues, I dont know. I thought those issues only existed around L.A, maybe Im wrong. Still I know plenty of guys who get by on their personality, positivity, motivations and aspirations in Vegas or I just know a bunch of liars. I will assume the former.

P.S

Obviously you guys have never seen the movie "The notebook" or "Titanic" or my personal favorite "Wedding crashers". lol. Women like these movies for a reason guys and none of the main characters are exactly "rich". One thing is for sure -- with some of the attitudes you guys have it is no surprise you haven't had much luck with the ladies in Vegas. I can sit around and mope about and live in fear to move to a big city until I can go there as a rich dude, or I can live life with no regrets, no hesitation, and just be happy for who I am.

OK, so I'm a moderator- all that means is that I have to make sure that the forum rules are followed- it doesn't keep me from calling bs on your "buddy's" story.

And yes, there are huge image issues in Vegas- especially with the crowd you're looking to associate with. LV is often called "LA East", so those issues are just as prevalent in LV as in LA.

And please tell me that you're not trying to live your life based on the fantasies you see in the movies- that only makes this whole thing even more pathetic.......
