CJ can date six different girlfriends throughout San Andreas, each offering unique rewards and requiring specific preferences. Dating involves picking them up, taking them to their preferred activities (driving, dancing, eating), and dropping them off. Building a strong relationship (indicated by a percentage) with each girlfriend unlocks various benefits:
- Denise Robinson: Unlocks the ability to keep a car after it's wasted, and a Flamethrower, SMG, and Shotgun spawn at her house.
- Michelle Cannes: Unlocks free resprays at her garage.
- Helena Wankstein: Unlocks a Chainsaw, Pistol, Molotovs, and Flamethrower at her farm, and access to her garage for free resprays.
- Katie Zhan: Unlocks free hospital discharge and keeps all weapons after being Wasted.
- Barbara Schternvart: Unlocks free police discharge and keeps all weapons after being Busted.
- Millie Perkins: Essential for a main story mission, unlocks a keycard for the Caligula's Palace casino.
Each girlfriend has specific preferences for CJ's appearance (muscle, fat, sex appeal) and vehicle type. Pay attention to their dialogue to understand what they like and dislike. Successfully dating all girlfriends is required for 100% game completion and provides significant advantages, especially Katie and Barbara's perks, which save money and weapons.
