I agree, Barcelona is not as easy as, say, Vegas, but still... Raging nightlife every day of the week, multiple tourist girls coming in and out, as well as Erasmus students. Good place for flag missions in my experience.

Furthermore, covers for big name DJs (Guetta, Tiesto, etc) are generally 60 to 100 euros a night. If you just paid $150 entrance to a club, how likely are you to bounce with a guy?
Ecstacy, more than alcohol, is the drug of choice. E is great for conversations and feeling love, but it also kills sex drive.
Anyway, overall, I'd say Ibiza isn't a great place to pull. Logistics alone are tough, especially if you aren't banking. If you can afford $300+ a night (plus another $100 for entrance) for logistics and a nice place to pull to, you might be able to do well. But if you're not blowing mad cash, I wouldn't consider Ibiza a good spot for pullage.
Yeah, I agree with you. I went last August and paid 80 EUR a night for a very small private suite in a hostería in Ibiza City, nothing special. And the covers and drink prices are also absolutely insane, the highest I've ever seen anywhere.
The logistics can be a b*tch in that island, you're right. The clubs and hotels are all scattered out. But if you're a baller and can secure a room in a hotel like Ushuaia, where some of the top parties are being held, as well as getting table service, you can pull like mad.

- The ratios are probably 70/30 at best in the big clubs, so any girls have their pick of the guys
- Any girls you do find won't want to lose their friends since the clubs are all so huge
- Really high level of competition from guys in good shape
- Everyone there is there for the music/drugs instead of hooking up
I mean, its a fantastic place because its sunny, has the best clubs in the world, the best DJs in the world etc. But don't go there expecting to score. If you want slutty English chavs looking for sex then just head to Kavos, Majorca etc. You won't have to pay $75 cover and $30 for a vodka redbull that way, either.
Good points. I just don't agree with the competition and ratios you mention. Yes, the ratios are bad, but most guys there are either gay or too f*cked up on MDMA to approach. It's not a difficult place to pick up in my experience, but logistics to pull the girl to a private room can be a nightmare, unless you can afford to stay on the most expensive hotels.

Here's my opinion on Playa (I can't speak for Cancun). Playa is good for overall notches. As for flags, at least 95% of the girls you will meet will be either Mexican, Argentine, or American, in that order. It's a great place to get those three flags, but I think places like New York and Miami are better in terms of overall international diversity. Through constant approaching during nine days in Playa, I did manage to meet two Swedish girls, one Norwegian, two Israelis (not that great), three Russians ( again, not that great), two Venezuelans, two Colombians, one French Canadian, and three Irish girls.

I think there's more Canadians than Americans, at least when I was there. Pretty much every native English speaker I met was Canadian.

I've heard Yacht Week in Croatia is a fuckfest, but definitely a trip to make with a group of friends and not solo.
Better with friends due to share of costs and logistics(hitting girls in groups).On Greek islands a whole lot depends on appearance(ideally muscular,tall,tanned,young),the connections to the establishment(ideally barman) and dancing ability.
lulz what?!
First of all, cost and logistics should be a none issue. Getting a room there is cheap, like 10 Euros or something for your own room.
I can't dance for shit, didn't know any barmen, didn't have muscles or tans, pulled twice in 4 days. My wingman pulled a virgin too. I find that whole above statement a bit ridiculous. For one, the vast majority of the girls you're flirting with aren't from Greece. They're from Poland, France, England, etc on vacation. That's like saying "All women from Europe prefer tanned young tall guys" which just isn't true. I'm Asian, my wing's mediterranean.
Anyway. Bottom line, on the Greek islands, girls get really trashed, are on vacation, and want to get laid. There's more of a culture of hooking up on the Greek islands than on the islands in Thailand. I'm not sure why, but that's the impression I got.

What's the average age in Ios during summer? Is it really young in the sense that a 30 year old guy could feel a bit out of place?
A tricky thing about the Greek islands is that the scene can change quickly from year to year, and even from month to month. For example, I've read that you shouldn't go to Ios in August because it's flooded with thirsty Italian guys (that's the month they take off for vacations). Also, girls from different countries will be visiting depending on the month or week. It's directly related to when and where the travel agencies are selling cheap tourist packages for, and this can vary a lot.

Yeah things can be interesting on Greek Islands with regards to what's cool now (or was) could be totally an uncool sausage fest.
I've only been to Santorini & Mykonos on a Mid-Sept (after peak season) several years back because my tickets were so cheap.
Santorini Mid-Sept - After peak season, but Fira (Thira) being main tourist center is still popping. Casablanca Soul and Tropical Bar were the great spots with many memories. Finally pulled my final night there, but had some issues with close calls the days before.
Beaches were too cold by then & a good foreign employee working in Santorini said I missed out on the horny Italian chicks from August being the most expensive peak month. The nature tourism was still great since I rented an ATV and the main city center still was full of gals looking to "find themselves" (dtf). Santorini is marketed as the romantic place for couples, but I found the single women there to be of a higher quality appearance & personality wise & therefore more vulnerable.
Mykonos Mid-Sept - I went to Mykonos after Santorini when prices were much lower. If renting a car, scooter, or ATV...I'd say this was an island probably better for couples while it is marketed as a party paradise for singles. Beaches were still warmer than Santorini slightly after mid-Sept too.
Upon arrival, the quality of women dropped as there were many fatties surprisingly & super thirsty dudes. The nightlife in the main city area (Skandi Bar) sucked too as all the parties at say Paradise beach died out after the peak season.
Maybe it's bc I visited after Mid-Sept opposed to August...but I hear Mykonos isn't as popular as it used to be.
At least from my experience, Santorini came off as a better place to simultaneously follow scenic trails & chase tail. I could honestly do without chasing tail in Mykonos (more thirsty dudes overall with $$ prices) while I thoroughly enjoyed the trail there.
Still want to visit Rhodes one day though.
