I quickly looked through Couchsurfing to find some representative pictures. How would you rate the following girls to the caliber you see on the ground? Similar? Better?

How did Croatia and Montenegro compare?

Did you hit up the beach in Romania? Or any smaller towns?

Did you think you could have done similar damage w/o couchsurfing?

If you were to go to Croatia - I would only recommend you hit Zagreb. Dubrovnik and Split are beautiful, but they are similar to Venice in terms of the fact they are overwhelmed with fat American and British tourists, so the people are very jaded. I could also recommend Osijek, Croatia because that's off the beaten path and they have a lot of hot women there. If you go to Osijek, you may as well take the train over to Novi Sad, Serbia - you won't be disappointed there either.

I didn't hit up the beach on the east coast of Romania because I was just too busy and overwhelmed with chicks in Bucharest. However, if I were staying longer - like a month or two, I would definitely take the train over to the beach. I heard Varna in Bulgaria is awesome during the summer. I would also hit up Brasov and other smaller towns if I go back for a longer period of time.

As for whether I could do the same amount of damage without couchsurfing - I probably could, but I wouldn't have had the running head start like I did when I arrived in Bucharest with 5 dates already lined up with girls that appeared to be hotties - which they all were. Another interesting anecdote.... of the 59 messages I sent to separate girls on Couchsurfing in Bucharest - I received 42 replies. That's a tremendous response rate.... My message was very non-agressive... just stated that I was visiting their city for the first time and would like to learn more about the culture and the people - so would they be available on (insert day here) afternoon to meetup for a coffee or drink.

Being an American actually gets you quite far in Romania and Bulgaria - much moreso than any other country I've visited.

Great data sheets.

I am actually thinking of rearranging some of my summer plans based on the strength of your narrative.

Do you think Bucharest would be an airball in July? ie everyone leaving, ghost town phenomenon?

That being said, Constanta, Romania would be an obvious choice.

However, is Constanta, Romania overrun with British stag kooks?

Anyone, feel to weigh in here.

Rodney..you had me laughing,well described...
I bet you were wondering if your luck was going to run out before the week was over!
I like the Europeans with a darker hue..Hungarians ,Romanians.
Sounds like it's worth a few days stop over.

Met two Romanian dudes in a gym in London, they fit your description to a T. When I asked about there country and women, the one guy replied straightfaced "our women are the country's best asset". Trust me the men know how good they have it, those two dudes were only working in London for a bit and could not wait to return.
I have known about this place for awhile, met a few sexy "dancers" from Romania who said great things about the country. They actually seemed depressed in Canada but stayed for the money.
I would say women wise, Romania would be in the top 3.

Hahahahah!! I actually hooked up with #2 and went on a date with #5. They were both pretty girls, but not as hot as the other girls I found on CS. too funny.

I guess I won't be hitting up those girls!

Dont worry Roosh, there's plenty more where they came from. In all seriousness, it's as if the birth rate is heavily skewed towards women in Romania - like there's some sort of male curse (which is good for us).

It seems as though Couchsurfing has made some changes to their search functionality which makes it more difficult to search for exactly the right demo. Anyways, I've been searching for girls that have Romanian and Bulgarian as a spoken language here in San Francisco - residents or travelers - because that might be the predictive criteria in this multi-variable regression analysis of scoring chicks all around the world.

Bucharest in july is prime hunting season, dude. It's a cafe culture and the Lipscani area is just teaming with chicks sitting outside in sets of 2, 3 and 4. It's fertile hunting grounds. If you have enough time, there are several trains that head east to the beach towns, about 5 hours from Bucharest. I haven't heard anything about Constanta, so I can't add anything there.

I'm glad you guys are finding this helpful. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to add anything of value to this highly esteemed group of sexpats, but I'm glad I can help in some small way.

Hey, if anyone needs a wingman, I might return to Romania for a couple of weeks... I'm just trying to sublet my place here in San Francisco and once I have that setup, I'm on the next flight back to Romania.

Rodney,
First of all, thanks a lot for a great report on Bucharest. I've had that place in my radar for a long time and I have met some stunning girls from Romania. When I was in the Philippines, I met a german guy, in his 40's who worked and is now working again in Romania and he showed me a ton of pictures of very hot 18-20 year old girlfriends. I couldn't believe the amount and the calibre of girls that this older guy was pulling. I'm now seriously thinking of going there maybe next year when I return from Asia.
Did you feel any hostility towards you from the men as you were hitting the local women?

You're welcome - I'm glad I can contribute - god knows I learned a lot from reading this forum over the last few months. Anyways, the guys are not hostile at all - they just seem so disinterested, but then maybe it's my conversational approach, I don't know for sure. The opposite of Romania would be Turkey, BTW. I don't recommend that anyone visit Turkey and have any reasonable expectation to get any ass. The Turkish dudes are the biggest f-in cock blocks I have ever witnessed. I'll save that write-up for another post.

Anyways, the Romanian guys will not bother you if you hit on their women, I think they expect to lose to foreigners, seriously.

It only looks that way because a lot of Romanian men go abroad to work because of poor job prospects in their own country. They go and work as migrant labourers in France, Spain, Italy etc. Many of them even come to Canada to work on the farms here.

I have seen way hotter Romanian girls in Canada. They are all strippers, but that is another story. LOL.

Post: #38

Rodney,

Nice write up.

I'm pretty intrigued by Romania and looking to possibly take a trip there soon.

After scanning CS for about 20 minutes, the 2 girls below are the best looking of the group to me. How often did you see a girl of similar attractiveness walking about Bucharest? Let's say you were heading out to the main area for the night, how long would it take to find 10 girls of equal attractiveness walking around to talk to? 1 hr/ 4 hrs/ All night?

This chick seems about average to me, but I'm a sucker for big tits. How often were you distracted by a set like this? Compared to Bulgaria?

I'm heading to Europe in beginning of August, and now probably end up in Romania around mid to late-August. How long are you planning on staying around?

Post: #40

CS seems to have a few pretty faces..(or tits) Makes me really keen to go if these girls are abundant and easy.

If I go back I will probably be back there from late July through September.

Yep, these girls are pretty typical. Ha- I banged the one with the really huge tits in the pink. Sweet girl. Claimed she never met an American in person before me.

Did you notice if the summer had people fleeing the city and out to the black seA?

Post: #44

I have to say I found it surprising that you met two girls ALONE, at the hotel bar and then at the other bar the next day. This is not typical for any country, maybe in Romania it's different? Usually only prostitutes or quasi-prostitutes would go alone to a bar.
In Bulgaria, for example, girls always roll in groups of 2-3 at least, and at the clubs it's even groups of 7-8 or so, due to the bottle service phenomenon. Almost all better clubs now have "reserved" tables only so if you want a spot you have to buy a bottle, and obviously two girls are not going to drink a whole bottle so they team up with friends (and often guys so they can pick up the tab). The good thing is things are pretty cheap in Bulgaria, including bottle service.

Re: Black Sea resorts in Romania, they are no good. Best one is Mamaia, Constantia is just a port/industrial city. Most Romanians drive down to Bulgaria in the resorts around Varna (just 100km or so from Romania) or around Sunny Beach (a further 100km down the coast). Sea water is noticeably colder in Romania, beaches are not as nice, not many good hotels, etc. Of course, people with more money go to Croatia, Turkey, etc. but Bulgaria is the closest and cheapest beach destination for Romania.

Okay, that explains it more or less. Dude, if you're really 6'4 athletic blond, I'm sure you can do better than that. I do better than that, and I'm 5'4 dark hair and I suck on group approaches. Now my standards for ONS are fairly low, but I wouldn't fuck any of them even in Bay Area. No offense, but you're probably not playing your full potential, and just picking up the very low-hanging fruits.

Bucharest is full of beautiful chicks, but the online game sucks here as the quality is much worse comparing to what you can meet on the streets. I've been here since the Memorial Day, and while it is fairly easy to build the pipeline from online, I would NOT recommend it unless you really click with someone.

I gonna write my report once I'm back from Bucharest, and I gonna stay here one more week.

I can second that, here in Romania it is very rare to see a single Romanian girl going out alone. This is part of culture, people go out to have fun with their friends, not to hook up with someone. Sure hook ups are possible and happen, but this is not why they go out. A girl alone in a bar in Bucharest is usually a tourist. Partly this is because of the reason K-Man mentioned - such actions are typically associated with whores, and even though there seem to be no street prostitution anymore, at least in Lipscani/Old Town area (only fugly gypsies would approach you for sex, but they will not be let in a bar), such action is still associated with whoring. Same is about bringing a girl into your hotel room - if you're staying in a hotel, it gonna be VERY difficult to bring her in comparing to if you rented an apartment.

On the other side I'm not 6'4 blond, and there are very few of them here in Bucharest, so things might work different for him. And I can second that "Do you speak English" opener works very well here.

As I said, I gonna write my Bucharest review later as I'm still trying some strategies and there are other places to see. However it is worth pointing out that if you didn't get top girls in US, you won't get top girls here - although those you'd get here would be better looking comparing to US. And you must be good in group approaching, or you'll go nowhere - this is the main thing which holds me back here.

Quote:Re: Black Sea resorts in Romania, they are no good. Best one is Mamaia, Constantia is just a port/industrial city.

I've been to Mamaia a week ago. Tourist season hasn't started yet, but there is a lot of opportunities if your beach game is good. I managed to open around ten groups - and I really suck on talking to groups - but since I wasn't alone and she actually drove me there, I let it all go. The sea sucked though, I heard the locals go to Bulgaria if they want the sea.

Just notice a plane ticket to Bucharest and back for me is $217 I'm seeing less and less reasons not to go (unless Oldnemesis report turns out more grave).

Post: #48

Those last four pictures in the second set are more representative of the type of Romanian girls I have seen here.

Post: #49

i have been to Rumania numerous times and didnt find it easy to score..Over there being tall, blond, blue eyed(which i am not) will give you HUGE advantage!!!!If you are latin looking you will look like everyone else..if you are darker than that you will look gipsy(very , very bad)..being black is also an advantage..Many africans there !!(i guess because of that)

To clarify - the girls I met were alone, but they were waiting for their girlfriends. Both of them arrived a few minutes early and I saw they were sitting alone so I engaged. You made me laugh when you said quasi-prostitute... isn't being a prostitute an all or nothing thing? Or would you consider a Ukraining mail order bride to be a quasi?

I also heard that Varna is the place to go for beach action. I know many of the more wealthy Romanians head down to the southern and western coasts of Turkey. However, I do not recommend that anyone on this forum go to Turkey - it is hell and the dudes are complete assholes and will cock block you at every turn.
