I'm trying to mostly retire from game this year.
I say that every year.
If that doesn't happen, I would like to try South America. But would want to bring a wing who speaks some Spanish so I won't feel like a walking target.

Union Square and the LES. But really anywhere walking distance to NYU is good.
Yes Russian women are superior to Western in almost every way. But you need to take them on 4-6 dates more often than not. I can't remember the last time I had a "second date" in New York or London. It was either on from the get go, or a nonstarter.

I would also be keen to get your opinions on Melbourne/Sydney and why they would have been on your 'most hated' list, even if it's based on old data. If you loved London, I wouldn't have thought you would be to unhappy in Melbourne or Sydney.
Australian women can look good. But they act abrasive & confrontational when I chat them up overseas. I don't know why. Sweet ones could exist, but I have yet to meet one personally. Haven't been to oz in years. Maybe worth another try.

Moscow is not as expensive as most people claim. Large US cities & Western European capitals can cost more. For example metro is dirt cheap, gipsy cabs for late night clubbin' are a couple dollars a pop, food is OK (cheap outside the Moscow inner-rings). Also, ton's of cheap activities for dates, Russian girls love walking dates! Sure, with Russian salaries it is expensive but for any westerner visiting for a week or two it really won't break your budget. Another example, I went to Moscow Youth Palace on a prime night (Friday night) to see a play with my date, it was a sell-out but still ended up sitting in 4th row near center stage. Cost of tickets ended up being around $45/person. Try getting those types of seats on Broadway, Kimmel Center (Philly), Kennedy Center (DC), or other large venues in USA for a top-flight show. My 2 cents...

Agreed. It's not bad right now. Most people think of what it was a few years ago I'm sure. I was able to take a date to the O2 lounge at the Ritz a couple weeks ago and ordered 3 beers and two mixed drinks. I spent 2 hours lounging on the sofa and enjoying the view of the Kremlin. Cost, $55. In my opinion, this is top end in Moscow. It is all significantly downhill from there. I routinely take 15 minute uber rides within the 1st ring for $3.

Succinct writing with a touch of humor and hard earned truth. Bravo!
Can you elaborate on Paris? Granted I've always romanticized it a bit. What were some of your specific tics in the City of Light?
Paris has really good marketing. The reality for me was less romance, and more gaggles of American tourists, getting lost on the confusing metro, native Parisians disliking speaking English, and seeing hardly any attractive women.
I spent my days pounding the pavement for approach worthy women, and working out of various cafe's around the city. Night, I was hunting for happening nightlife, which never materialized beyond a few hipster girls with orbiters bouncing along in the hopes of scoring a 5.

Lots of ugly people, bad weather, stupid expensive, horrible logistics (why the fuck does the tube shut down so early?!), lots of uppity cunts, bad food.
Would love to see a detailed sheet on Montreal. I'm a bit surprised it was ranked as low as it was given the way you described it. Scotland too - reactions on the forum seem pretty mix regarding Scotland so I'd love to hear more.
I totally understand the sentiments against London. But as an American, who also loves British people, I put in less effort there, and get traction consistently. Maybe this is similar for British guys in the US?

I'm surprised by your rating of Paris also, i haven't romantized it, but always imagined it like one the perfect cities for game, huge impersonal city with tons of tourist going to live their 'romantic experience', most of them women, etc. But is not the first time i read it's so bad. What do you think makes a huge difference between Paris with say other cities like London, New York, Moscow? I would guess is the catholic culture, or maybe the french are as thirsty as the italians.

Yes. Now imagine groups of 4-6 average looking, loud talking, sloppily dressed western women. That's Paris.

The difference is a general lack of attractive women.
Lower Manhattan has lots of attractive girls walking around during the day, and out at night, and they're slutty. London even sluttier. Moscow has hot girls all over the place, but more conservative.
