Hey all, so our new platform; http://happierabroad.org, will not feature typical internet forums. The same is true with http://culturewhizforum.org We have a little something better in mind. See below. On happierabroad.org, the forum will be called the "Soapbox". However, we appreciate that long-time users may prefer the original format, so we will establish http://HappierAbroadForum.org and http://culturewhizForum.org just for that purpose. Thx

Here's my first impressions (disclaimer: subject to change).

First off, things move in a completely different *slow* and relationship-oriented way there which is not bad if one is looking for relationships. My current research is to analyze how things are compared to Ukraine. Generally Ukrainian women are a lot more primitive and less intelligent or cultured than Russian women, which is in some cases not bad since you understand them correctly from first minute. Russians are excellent at self-presentation and manipulation.(usually stirring manliness).Ukrainian women do not have elegance, finesse or class like Russian women do.(in many cases). I have been to 6 cities outside of Moscow for week plus stints, and have also spent many a weekend in Kiev, but now only go to Russia. In my view, the Russian girls have more substance, and since there are way fewer sex tourists than in Kiev (with some exceptions like NN), they are less guarded.

-There are numerous similarities between Ukraine and Russia. Having prior work experience in Ukraine has been quite beneficial in informing my opinions. There were a few surprises, but not many. I'm a little disappointed by how similar they are because it doesn't feel like I'm in a completely other nation. Many things are familiar to me.

-Beards are more popular among Russian girls than in Ukraine. Girls are petting my beard as if I were a Persian cat. In Ukraine, this never happens. One girl commented, "Strong men have beards." I may safely maintain a longer beard here. I am really delighted with this development.

-Russian girls are more fun, sensuous, and sexy at night than Ukrainian women. These gals know how to party and let loose. They are nice and eager to have a good time. I also noted that they are quite touchy-feely, similar to Brazilian girls (perhaps even more so). But, as I discovered, this should not be confused with intense curiosity. This seems to be primarily when they are under the influence of alcohol, because when they are sober, their vibe is quite similar to Ukrainian women. I do receive more smiles from them in sober settings, and they laugh at my jokes more, but otherwise, there is a stoic-ness that takes time and trust to relax.

-Russian girls get intoxicated in the club. This is not beneficial for me because my style of play is more conversational, with the goal of making genuine connections. Drunk girls are difficult to tame and have short attention spans. My personality is not loose enough to deal with very intoxicated girls in clubs, especially since I don't drink very much.

-Girls look much prettier at night. During the day, you don't see a lot of gorgeous girls, but at night, it's... incredible. Last night, I was in a club with so many beautiful girls that I became frozen for almost 30 minutes. Except for Ukraine, this is completely out of control. It's obvious to me now that if you seek beauty in Europe, Ukraine and Russia have the largest concentration.

- Girls are polite. They give me a chance when I'm honest, even if they don't like me. They are much friendlier than Ukrainian gals. I have never met a disrespectful girl who treated me coldly, even when I approached a half-naked club dancer girl. This is incredibly nice after a month in DC, when girls (far uglier) treated me like trash for no apparent reason.

-Proficient command of the Russian language is essential. So far, out of around 20 approaches, I've only met one girl who could converse in English. Many girls can grasp English, especially if you speak slowly. English is so uncommon that I would not advocate someone visiting my current city unless they are an advanced beginner. I suppose I take for granted that I can converse with girls in Russian. This could account for the typically good answers I receive.

-Club girls are extractive. I got duped twice into purchasing drinks for chicks. They were learning experiences, but the girls here are better at extraction than the Ukrainians. This is not the same as "scamming" in Latvia, where a girl will bring you to a scam bar or outright rob you. If you allow the girls to utilize you for attention or booze, they will. Their acting skills are excellent (they pretend to adore you when they truly have ulterior reasons).

-Entertainment is really pricey. Clubs are very expensive, same like in Ukraine. Taxi fares, cover charges, and beverages add up rapidly. On Saturday night, I spent $120 without even trying. Coffee cafes are also pricey. I don't understand how these individuals can afford it given their wage level.

-Girls are friendly and sweet. During the day I'm meeting some of the sweetest girls ever, even more so than Polish (age range: 18-24). They're so patient too, helping me along with the conversation (in Russian). Again, this contradicts the general stereotype of Russian women that I've read about and also experienced in DC. I do think that it could be based on my location (i.e. if you take one of these girls and put her into Moscow, there will be a change) and also my general vibe which has become suited to the slavic personality.

What's interesting to me is that there are very distinct categories of Russian girls. For example, on one hand, you can have a professional player who can extract your wallet and your soul, leaving you crying in a fetal position, and then next to her is the sweetest girl in the world who who is insecure and clueless about the game. I found a very helpful screening tool to know if a girl is "good" or not:

Does she go to the club more than once a month?

If yes, she is in all likelihood a player/extractor. At the very least, she is knowledgeable about game and knows how to trick men. She is definitely looking for a big fish. I'm noticing the same girls go to the same clubs. In my city's size, that is a statistical anomaly, meaning a tiny percentage of girls are going to these clubs. Therefore, if I recognize a girl in a club, I definitely don't want to talk to her, because she will have defects. In clubs, you have to look for girls who look like they are having a miserable time, because they hate clubs and only went because their friend dragged them. If I see a girl who is a bit too comfortable in the club, schmoozing with everyone, especially bar staff, I avoid. Also, avoid girls who say they "like" going to clubs. Clubs here are tanks full of piranhas, so if she likes it, she's probably a piranha. They are smarter than all of us in terms of extracting resources, they will take your money and break you. 

The second type in any major city, they want to be treated like a western girl. They won't take your money but then you get a European experience. Then, the third and final group, my personal favorite, the girls who can't speak any English and never traveled. These girls are 60% or more, the average Russian girl. They won't take your money, they will respect you more than any woman in your life, and it is damn hard not to agree to a relationship with them. The only problem is that you must be fluent in Russian to access them. And because they are used to only Russian men, you can use that to mold them as you like, although I don't suggest taking them out of Russia. These are just my observations after dating every type of Russian girl over the past few years. Just remember, all Russian girls sense weakness from 1000 km away. Good luck and once you find real Russian women, you will never go back!

-You should be smart about who you select. It seems like the skill in Russia is not so much "game", but screening out girls who will waste your time, because the sweet girls don't need much game, just time.

-Girls who show the most interest are mediocre Western groupies. These girls are rarely above a 7, mostly hovering in the 5 and 6 range. They speak English well and are amusingly receptive, but I don't want.

-A stereotype is that Russian girls don't give out their number much, but when they do, it means something. I'm not finding this to be the case at all. They give their number quite easily and then disappear when you go for the date. The rate is similar to what I have seen in Poland and Romania, so Russia has no advantage. Things are starting to turn into a grind like any other country I've been. One reason for this is that I've been meeting a lot of college girls. Related to this issue is...

-Strong initial interest that fades. Telling girls I'm from the USA gives them quite a buzz, but it's not enough to propel to anything long. Girls insta-date me and ask for my number, which hasn't happened to me elsewhere, but then things cool off and I'm unable to convert. I suspect they are talking themselves out of dating a foreigner who doesn't have strong roots here. The "rock star effect" is an emotional response, and then the Russian logic kicks in a day or two later. 

-Most cute girls have boyfriends. Based on Russia's demographic problems, I was expecting a lot more availability than I'm seeing. It has happened many times when I approach a girl in the park and her boyfriend joins to interrupt the approach (I politely exit). Even middling girls in the 6 range have boyfriends. Some are still open to exchanging numbers, but pursuing these has been a waste of time so far. There is definitely more single girls in the club, but that comes with a different set of downsides.

I had this problem in Poland as well, and it almost felt like the game was "Find a girl who doesn't have a boyfriend." From what you guys say, I get the feeling that Moscow/Peter has more available girls. Don't get me wrong---I don't mind relationship-minded girls since I'm not going for pump and dumps, but she has to be open. 70%+ my day approaches are wasted on girls who are just not open to boning a new guy and I don't have a shared environment where I see her every day to allow her to make the switch.

- Girls who are looking for men shop with their eyes. They look at things they like. If she looks at you, you smile and she smiles back, it is a done business, if she looks away and doesn't look back at ya within 30 seconds, she isn't interested.

- The quality of food, service and girls in Russia v. Ukraine can be debated ad nauseum, but what can't be debated is that Ukraine is so much cheaper than Russia. Not a little bit cheaper, we're talking Moscow is 300% or more than Kiev for many products (beer, food) as well as apartment rent, etc.

- You must devote far more effort, energy, language study, and money for women who are not necessarily more attractive or have a better personality than in other Eastern European nations. The girls I've dated in Russia are not necessarily better than those I've worked with in Poland, Ukraine, and Romania, but they are certainly more challenging.

Outside of Mexico City and Playa/Cancun, Mexico is a predominantly conservative country with a high percentage of overweight individuals. Mexicans typically have a small stature and tend to accumulate weight around their stomach. Approximately 80% of Mexican women are overweight or obese. Anyway, Mexicans are generally quite conservative when it comes to sex (except in CDMX, and to a much lesser extent the other major cities). In small towns with a population of under 300,000, around 25% of girls remain virgins until marriage, while 60-70% have a sexual partner count of less than 10. This is the situation you are facing. You think you have it tough? The local guys have practically given up.

These girls are still sexually interested, but it is crucial to ensure that these girls from the village are completely certain that if they engage in sexual activity with you, it will remain a secret. Sure in the grand scheme of things doesn't really make a difference if she just fooled around with you or fucked you, she's already there and whoever saw her saw her, but hamster don't care. Hostel is not conducive to this. Is like when the cops try to shake me down here in CDMX, the second they see even one witness they get spooked and go. For every person that sees you guys together, your chance of getting the bang goes down 10%, even if its a waiter or stranger at a hostel. If she runs into someone she knows, then its 100% over. Its all hamster illogical logic.

Mexico City: Sometimes referred to as the New York City of Mexico. The most liberal area in the country with promiscuous women of low quality. Extremely unreliable. Very flakey.

Guadalajara: More conservative but changing a bit. Authentic attractive women present. It's easy enough but still the majority of girls will take 2-3 dates to crack.

Pueblos: insufficient quantity. You will often receive significant attention and indicators of interest from exotic women, but they are nonetheless traditional and avoid engaging in sexual activities in their little community. Reputation is important.

Beach cities: Playa/Cancun and Tulum is where you wanna go.

Playa del Carmen

1. Nearly all visitor attractions are located within a 3-mile radius. The Centro area is highly pedestrian-friendly and offers excellent logistical advantages.

2. There were a ton of Americans and a decent number of Canadians. A fair number of these people were remote workers or even college students who wanted to escape the harsher restrictions and financial costs of staying in their home regions. NYE certainly contributed to the increased numbers but I can't really say to what magnitude. Some Europeans were also around although not as many as there usually would be. And there was no shortage of Mexicans due to the holiday season.

3. Police and military presence was higher than in my previous trips. I'm sure the pandemic and potential for more crime has something to do with this.

5. The amount of public beach space has decreased compared to previous years. The ocean has encroached more on the beach, while the resorts and beach clubs have expanded into the already restricted area.

6. NYE was the busiest I ever saw the city during the night. Partying basically continued until the sun came up and the streets were busy for hours.

Playa is easily your best bet in Mexico to meet all European and Latin American nationalities.  How are the constant, robotic drug annoyances these days?  The first time I went there that stuff was minimal and the quality of the women was overall better.  The last time I went there, it was nonstop and the quality of women was easily the worst I have ever seen in Playa.  Coincidence?

PDC has become a digital nomad hub of sorts, I mean its always been one, but in the last few months its really taken off as "the place to be" if you have an online business, freelancer etc. This is a big deal for me and negates some of the downsides like the dodgy police and annoying fake drug dealers selling baby powder / laxative mix on quinta

Feb - early April is also best weather in PDC too. Gonna spend 5 weeks there and wanna check out many places I haven't had a chance to like Merida, Holbox. Surprisingly I've never been to Tulum either even though I've been to almost every Mexican state, just never got around to it. I cannot stand middle class "woke" white girls, always end up getting in fights with them though, so maybe Tulum is not best for me.

Tulum

1. Lodging is expensive, especially in one of the beach properties. Centro Tulum is more walkable but from what I understand, there is a higher presence of "alternative" girls compared to the beach areas. I found girls to be overall more attractive than those in PDC, however.

2. Lots of Americans are here and compared to PDC, it's definitely an overall younger, wealthier, and trendier crowd (i.e. Instagram attention whores). This city is hardly a secret like it may have been in the past and it's only going to get worse.

3. The beaches are much better here than those in PDC, although they're not within walking distance of Centro. Unless you're staying in one of the expensive beach hotels, you'll have to rent a bike (5-10 USD per day) or take a taxi (25-40 USD one way). It took me about 25 minutes each way on a bike and I ride fairly quick.

4. Businesses were open and mask compliance is a bit higher here. Nightlife was lacking compared to what I saw in PDC although I had no experience with the beach hotel scene or the so-called "jungle parties" that may have been busted. I think the restrictions have hampered nightlife more significantly in Tulum.

5. Lots and lots of stray cats and dogs. If you're eating at a restaurant, don't be surprised if you see an animal go near you.

I'm happy in CDMX, but I still head to Brazil and even Peru from time to time to get my fix of hotter girls that I can't access here without a fight.

Example: Lima girls are on average about same as CDMX girls but the major difference is in Lima the top 2-3% hotties are way more accessible, the local dudes in Peru are kind of broke choads and the other foreigners that come through are usually dorky backpackers. This is not true in CDMX. Its a city with hundreds of thousands of rich Mexican guys who make as much as you if not more with connections in the social scene etc. This can be true in Bangkok as well but on average there is also way more hot girls that compensate for it. The competition for hot chicks here is very intense. Once you get 8 and above its pretty much same as USA or western Europe or wherever, maybe even worse. If you don't believe me just look up an Instagram of say a girl whose a 7 at best, if she was American she might have 2000-3000 followers, here in Mexico she'll have like 250,000 followers. The shortage of top shelf looks here is real.

Also many people suggest other cities but IMO people are leaving out a huge detail. Monterrey and GDL have virtually nothing going on compared to CDMX, here is way more touristy shit going on, more culture, better food, chance to meet other travelers/scumbags, better base to take side trips. Plus CDMX girls are way easier then the rest of the country. Most cities and especially smaller towns are more conservative, plus cannot rely only on online. Sure the girls in MTY are hotter but I know plenty of dudes who spent over a week there didn't even bang one chick. Like other poster have said check the temperature in CDMX to see where you ranking, before heading to Sinaloa or Monterrey. If you aren't pulling hard here, you won't get shit there.

Also worth a shout out, a paradise for easiness of women and beaches is a place which people don’t hear of often from US and Europe - Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca. Many tourists from the big cities of Mexico (plus Argentina and Peru) come here to beach and party. Cheap as fuck. All you have to do is wear a nice shirt and shoes, speak Spanish and the girls will literally touch your knob on the dance floor.

A colleague recently returned from Playa Del Carmen and was telling me that the beaches weren't that good due to a seaweed problem. I did some research and it looks like they may have been referring to sargassum, which appears to be an algae that is causing trouble in the area.

It’s been a problem for a few years now and there’s not much they can do the tides bring it in and the shores get covered in it, some beaches have workers who rake it up so you can still enjoy the beach but it’s annoying. Some areas are worse than others, I think Isla Mujeres was ok.

..boils down to one simple fact. Women match with too many guys.

This is a product of two factors. First, there are more men than women on apps. But even if the ratios weren't lopsided, it wouldn't even begin to solve the problem. The male to female ratio on dating apps is generally accepted to be around 2:1. Logically, you would expect women to get twice as many matches as men. But that's not the case. On average, women on bumble (and the stats for other apps are likely similar) get one match for every two likes, which is a 50% match to like ratio. In contrast, men get one match for every 40 likes, which is a 2.5% match to like ratio. To put it another way, women get 20 times as many likes as men. So even if the male to female ratio on dating apps was 1:1, women would still be receiving 10 times as many matches.

This can only mean one thing: men swipe right way too much and women not nearly enough. This is a vicious cycle. Women can be extremely selective and still get tons of likes. If they didn't get as many likes, they would be less selective. But if things are so biased in favour of women on dating apps, why do they complain about them even more than men do? Setting aside women's natural propensity to complain, it doesn't seem like dating apps work for them either. Why? Because they get overwhelmed. Women get too many matches, which leads to them putting little effort into each interaction, which in turn leads to shallow, rudimentary conversations that quickly die down and don't lead to a first date.

It would seem that the obvious solution is to drastically reduce the number of matches one can get in a day. Say a maximum of one. This would force people to engage with their matches, as you are not going to get another match for 24 hrs. However, this would run contrary to the dating apps' business model of trying to force men to buy more swipes (and it's safe to assume that nearly all paying members are men). In other words, the dating apps' business model makes them to be ineffective by design.

Yes, but the women see 90%-99% of those guys in the same manner as dog shvt. Dating apps hit their peak years ago. As I said before, scammers, validation seekers, AI, fake profiles, single moms and ducks ruined the market.

My little sister opened a dating app account and 1½ hour later she already had 2500ish like swipes from horny dudes with having done nothing basically or anything special to her account profile. Its totally mental. Hoeflation is a real thing with all these chicks getting their ego's inflated to the skies even though they are not very good looking, but average or worse.

The best quality girls are not on the apps anyway so if you want something meaningful with someone worth it, IRL is the only way.

I've been using the dating apps (Thaifriendly.com is no. 1) in Thailand for nearly 10 years and it has totally change. I wouldn't waste your time with them where it was easy in the past. There is too many Chads that go to Thailand compared to in the past. I use to travel around Thailand and easily get a date online whenever I moved to another location. Now it's hard where I'm still using the same good quality photo from 10 years ago of myself.

Remember, most girls on dating apps are damaged women. The best option is go to a club or a better option is to run Day Game. If you speak to a Thai women, they aren't going to be a bitch to you like Western women. She will be nice to you most of the time and respectful. Ask her where the nearest ATM is or where to eat (gen tee na). Even if she doesn't speak English, open up the app LINE (chat program that every Thai uses), go to the add friend screen and give her your phone. Remember to never ask but tell a woman. I find if you ask, it will decrease your chances by 50%. She might want to show your around but never let a woman lead until you have bed her first!

I would guess only SEA / Latin America left? Europe is done for us! 



This seems the best a white guy can do in SEA

Roosh could have been touring the world, living a luxury lifestyle with a monthly income of more than $10,000, but Google dislikes forums and hate content. So he had to take a job, like a loser.



Vs.



The numbers are likely to be imprecise. I'm involved in a substantially larger quantity of activities and numbers. I'm currently creating a resort in Thailand that is solely accessible to members and is centered around an investment fund. Additionally, I aim to develop three other substantial platforms. The numbers I have in mind have the potential to escalate to $40,000-80,000 PER MONTH within a span of one year. Examine Andrew Tate's Hustler University. The community has amassed over 200,000 paid members, each contributing a monthly fee of $50 to remain active within the discord platform. If half of those figures are accurate (100,000), the total amount would be $5 million every MONTH.

Bringing back an older version of Roosh and other high-posting incels using a Language Model trained on their previous postings and additional data sources should not be difficult from a technical standpoint. There may be a need for three or four specialized algorithms to account for the formulation of rules for the context of specific tones in their written text.
