The usual BS:

Some useful information:
Quote:Amsterdam CS meeting is full of pickup guys (because there are new girls everytime and almost no regular members)
Damsel in distress:
Quote:I've never surfed with a guy who lives alone... for these reasons. It's too bad, but if I'm traveling by myself, I can't afford to take those kinds of chances. I think it's great that some girls feel comfortable doing it... but I don't. Of course I want to be able to trust everyone, but I refuse to be naive. A friend of mine just had her first CS experiences this summer in France and Italy. 2 of her hosts put moves on her. I was appalled. I tried to tell her that CS isn't like that...but nothing I can say will change her firsthand experience. She prefers hostels now. I know some of you are thinking "well, she surfed with French and Italian guys...what does she expect?"...but that's complete crap.
This is the guy who started that thread on Facebook and all of this bullshit. Apparently, he works for Couchsurfing.

Quote:I actually met a "pick up artist" like this guy when we went to an Amsterdam CS meeting last October.
Couldn't fool me.
Quote:That is why more and more girls only ask a girl for a couch and no guys anymore. Understandable with creeps like this.

Quote:Just had a female cs from mexico for 2 days. I was actually kinda suprised she wanted to stay at my place. Especially because it was het 1st cs experience ever. Lucky for her I am not one of those freaks After showing the city with Joeri Schinkel, she is really enthusiastic about CS now.

RE: Couchsurfing red alert!!!!!
The women (and most men, too) on those CS threads are all accusing us of being horrible, filthy, "manipulative" people. They say there's no need to concoct such convoluted schemes in order to meet (and bed) women. They say we should be upfront about our intentions.
In July 2011 there was a hilarious thread on the CS Los Angeles group. Here's what a Chinese chick posted:
Quote:I just arrived yesterday, and watched the fireworks with my host, He seemed nice. Right before I went to sleep, he got up and asked: "Do you want a fuck?" Then he said sth else and laughed. I didn't hear that clearly and thought he was only kidding. Besides, he mentioned he had a girlfriend. So I asked him half-jokingly: "What if I said yes?" He said:"Then I'll start by kissing you..." Then I realised he meant it and was speechless:"That was a serious question? I thought you were only joking!" "No," he said, "I've been having this on my mind." I said no twice and he still asked "You sure?"
So I wanna know from other single woman travellers if this happens to you often? Cus it's not my first time to encounter sth like this, although he's the most direct one. I don't really think this is the point of couchsurfing, nor understand why some guys have to do it. And after that I just can't help feeling hostility to my host who doesn't respect me at all and just saw this as a chance of getting laid. And I have live stay with him for another 3 days, which is really annoying and I don't know whether I should be friendly to him or not.
This host was a total amateur. I do hope he finds RVF.

It's amateurs like this that give us, the sweet talking hansom seducers, a bad name
One of my travel buddies is even sneakier. He puts up a picture of 'the bedroom" on CS but it is in fact his own bed and he has a studio. Girls who surf at his place think he has a spare bedroom when they see the picture but at arrival they have to sleep in his bed with him. Not my style but he managed to bang a few girls this way.

Such a stark contrast with the reactions from Brazilian and feminist CS'ers. Some comments:
Quote:those "strategies" are as old as humanity, just a bit of Web 2.0 layer.
Quote:Darn, I already forgot that Sex is a bad thing. Thanks for the reminder, mate 
Quote:as long as it's consensual, where's the big deal?
Quote:Thanks, but I get enough sex as it is. CS or not!
Quote:Haha, thanks for posting. I had a good laugh on the this forum.
Quote:Reaaaaally, this game (lame strategies to get laid) is as old as peeing... They have always existed and will always do, so what's the deal?
Quote:as it seems now, CS Berlin is quite more "open minded" (in the non CS-profile fake way) than CS Brazil. That's not a bad thing. 
They make the Brazilian CS'ers look like a bunch of Victorian prudes.

RE: Couchsurfing red alert!!!!!
The Brazilians are just spamming. Great response in the Berlin thread:
Quote:Excuse me, mister, but what is your point? As long as it's not "how to rape in CS" there is not really any problem (except some little amount of "requests with sexual intentions" and so maybe (!) some waste of time for hosts who are totally not open for these kind of experience, but what else are all these tons of one-sentence-I-just-need-a-bed requests for hosts who want to find "true friendship" here?).
So calm down, stop the "how to behave in CS" preaching and stop making a lot of hosts feel insecure, as you can't tell a difference between "honest CS requests" and the "CS requests plus" anyway (besides there is nothing scandalous about it)!
(I guess this could become another epic thread. And this just one week after the massage one, amazing!) =)
p.s.: I have to apologize to the CS Berlin community for some misjudging: I wrote this (and a lot more that was already told since then) tonight when CS suddenly went down, expecting a "CS is not a dating site"-shitstorm over my head, but as it seems now, CS Berlin is quite more "open minded" (in the non CS-profile fake way) than CS Brazil. That's not a bad thing.
