I was in Manhattan twice the past two weeks and yes, there are definitely some choice women there. But Philly? It's just not on the same level. I feel like, if you had an apartment in a nice section of Manhattan (the Village?), and you had some money and some game, then, you could definitely have your choice of legit beautiful women. I don't think I can say the same about Philly. The *quality* is just lower.
Side note: I was at Delilah's strip club in East Philly this past Saturday, on a lark. Had a hard time finding a single girl in there that I even wanted to buy a lap dance from. Eventually, out of boredom, did the "private room" with two separate girls, had a decent dance and some fun chatting, but up-close, neither was one I'd actually want to sleep with (even though one of them offered to go get a hotel together!) Sigh.
