I wonder what the average diet is like there?
I guess with 6 months of cold you can really pile on the pounds if physical activity is minimal and you have a heavy goulash type diet.

I think you will find some hot women...put an ad in the local rag or online rag American journalist asking to meet and interview women ages 18 30 about attitudes to ..take your pick of subject...see what percentage are lookers.

Not surprised about the fatness of the women there. Latvia is the 3rd fattest country in Europe behind UK and Malta.

Wow, I thought this place was paradise!!!

Blonde Parade = Latvia's Carnival. They are promoting it for tourists. It's a total scam because most girls here are brunettes.

Threads like this is why I value Roosh's input so much. Cuts through all the bullshit and hype on this forum. Too many dudes on here way over-hype how well they do quality-wise and numbers-wise (and how certain races do).

Uncle Rooshy cuts through all that shit like a hot knife through butter.

I've dated a Latvian au-pair here in DC once, and yes, she was overweight. Also, she had dark hair.

Roosh, so from the cockblocking comment, I gather Latvian guys are aggressive? They have good game?

Christ, I cant believe how downhill its gone and how quickly. :/

They have killed it like they killed Prague from the sounds of it. Prague went tits up in the space of only 2-3 years. Almost overnight it went from being Prague to being some tacky tourist trap. Unless you want to fuck whores, the local woman are very difficult to deal with now and it became a pointless exercise. You have to go to the smaller cities, but the problem with Latvia is that the smaller cities are more like towns or big villages than cities.

I was planning to take two friends to Riga, Vilnius and Tallinn over two and half weeks towards the end of next year and was looking forward to it because I had not been to Riga in almost 4 years, so it would have been pushing 5 by the time I went. Also wanted to do it in winter. Train it from capital to capital. This seriously has me wondering though.

I expected Tallinn may be a bit iffy, although I was there about 2 years back so kind of knew what to expect now.

Riga used to be a joke. There was a severe shortage of men, money was tight and they never really saw a lot of westerners. The women were never easy, but once through the barrier they were a different story. It was changing, but it seemed gradual. I guess it hit a tipping point.

The British booze parties and stags. Killed Prague, killed Tallinn and from the sounds of it have stuck it to Riga now too. Ryan Air and Easy Jet destroyed the Baltics in no time at all.

Post: #108

its not just Ryan Air and Easy Jet its technology and globalization. 10 years ago you could show up in Latvia or Estonia and they had never spoken to an American before. Now they can get on skype or mamba. As the walls have come down and previously discovered gold mines have become tapped the targets have adapted. the first questions you are going to hear are "why are you here" and "how long are you staying." they've wised up to the old game. you need a connection and a reason or you are just like every other touristy douche wanting to come in, bang, and leave.

Roosh, If you dont mind posting this....

How fat are the girls in Latvia? I was under the impression they were all mostly in shape as well. Can you post a picture of a typical Latvian girls you are seeing so I can get an idea? It is one of the places I was thinking of traveling to in the near future.

-Thanks.

I thought you were into Brunettes, so Riga should be perfect for you. (Just in case you miss Blondes head to Tallinn or Helsinki.)

It saddens me to see another paradise lost.

Makes me wonder what impact the Euro Championships will have on Poland and Ukraine. Don't underestimate the ability of these nutcases to change the perception of foreigners in a lasting way.

Post: #112

Roosh,Estonia is going to be more of the same( i heard Tallin is even worse now)..i did the baltics 10 years ago when it was gold(nostalgia).
Why dont you enlighten us with a different destination?? less explored...
Moldova,Belarus,provincial Ukraine maybe???

Which is why I'm getting my ass over there soon, before the Euro 2012 crowd fucks it up for everyone, and Polish women get tired of being hit on by foreigners.

I gotta hustle and make that cash fast before that happen and hopefully hit those countries in Spring before everything goes to hell.

According to some other gamebloggers, Latvia is a goldmine. However it turns out that Latviais the 3rd fattest country in Europe and women aren't anywhere near as hot as they are in Poland (Roosh can back that up). So I believe people who are touring Europe should start with countries like Latvia,Denmark & UK and finish with Poland & Russia.

Post: #117

it would be interesting to see a time lapsed map of the percentage of overweight women per country by year or decade. you would be able to see the epidemic spreading like a wave across the country with ground zero being the USA. you could see the ripple from England outwards towards the Nordic, Scandanavian and Western Europe countries and working its way towards Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Countries. the wave has probably already overtaken Latvia and Estonia and is somewhere around Lithuania right now working its way into the Slavic region

You guys keep complaining about fat women but let me tell you that as a % of the population it doesn't even come close to what is happening in USA or UK. If 30% of Latvian chicks 18-35 are fat in USA it's more like 55%. Surprisingly a lot of guys on this forum would still bang them (have banged fatties) and they are probably the guys who are complaining the most about this "epidemic"!

Post: #119

@Roosh: I'm pretty blown away. I remember Latvia as having some of the best looking girls on the planet (The ethnic Russians anyway). But mind you, I was there in the summer and when there was a lot more skin on show.

Riga is one of the only 2 cities in the world I gave a 5/5 for quality, but now I'm seriously questioning this. Perhaps I suffered from the Bolivia effect as I was coming from Ireland.

That said, I've been to Poland 5 times... and while they are hot.. they don't compare to Russian women imo.

If you don't like Latvian women, the women in Estonia may disappoint you in looks, but they are way more receptive.

Post: #120

NN: I feel your doubt. A lot of guys questioned my high ratings to Argentina for example, saying that Brazil was better. Right now I'm getting a mostly Latvian experience. My guess is that your rating included the Russian women, while mine mostly does not.

My instinct is that the presence of Russian women are propping up the talent pool here.

oh i'm not arguing that its worst in the US and UK, i'm saying its rippling away from those countries towards former pussy havens like the Baltics and Former Soviet Countries. Its been two years since I was in Bulgaria but I dont remember there being hardly any fatties there.

I sorta of agree with this, I am wondering if the girls are fat or chubby. Yes, I know it is a fine line but I have a feeling they are still better looking than girls in the US/UK.

Post: #123

yeah I think if Roosh had gone to Latvia via the US/DC area he'd be much happier then had he come from Poland. I guess one on end of the spectrum is the "Bolivia effect" and the other end of the spectrum is the "Poland effect"

The 20.9% obesity rate quoted for Latvia includes all age groups. We don't care about older groups unless some of the guys here are literally "going elderly".

When looking at the pdf report included in the article, we can see that only 1.7% of Latvian females in the 18-24 range are considered obese (BMI equal or above 30). The fat epidemic comes from women above 45.

It gets interesting if we crunch some numbers and include the other fat groups (BMI above 25, they call it "overweight"). Those numbers can be dug up deep from the eurostat website:
- 15-24 year old Female Latvians with 25+ BMI : 8.2%
- 24-34 year old Female Latvians with 25+ BMI : 26.3%

(Lithuania in contrast has figures of 11.7% and 18.1%, Poland 7.4% and 20.7%)

This is an important point. I don't think anywhere is truly immune from this. In another sense, online dating has really increased women's options who want to date a foreigner, so she is less likely to put out to a stag party in hopes of a green card. OTOH, globalization makes her own prospects just as good as if she was in the US, so no need to immigrate.

Moscow definitely has avoided the hordes, or at least it seems like that now. I guess I have to wait till the summer to give a definitive answer.
