Well opinions differ. I spent years in Hamburg and Berlin and found the club experience lacking. Girl/guy ratios are terrible. German girls aren't exactly easy going either. Plus not a lot of Asian looks in those cities.

Asia is all about saving face. And they cherish white skin.

Zouk delivered for me - easy to approach, above average Chinese looking girls and music that isn't deafening. I have no desire to touch go-go dancers underwear - i rather take a real girl home

The difference in places like Cologne, Hamburg and Berlin is that they have decent music in numerous clubs and bars etc. Pulling is not as easy as in other places such as Asia - no doubt. As to Zouk (and other similar clubs)... they serve their purpose for picking up, drinking, etc. and little more. Who mentioned gogo girls there by the way? I was talking about normal female punters dancing provocatively and enjoying the attention. And yes, finding a girl wasn't too hard either - s'all good. Just had to get drunk enough to put up with the lame music and highschool atmosphere. :-)

Its hard for me to compare Singapore with the likes of Berlin and Hamburg. I only spent a weekend in Hamburg and it was utterly nuts, banged both nights including a stripper and had a great time. But it is a very different place to here, it's definitely more liberal and you sure aren't going to see people having sex in public in Singapore (tho I did bang a girl on Sentosa beach at a full moon party, but i'm pretty sure nobody saw me..well maybe a couple of folk). But hamburg was also a lot grottier and the chicks generally not as hot than here, certainly they put much less effort into looking good and were less exotic. But I think it was more to do with the venues I ended up in. You aren't going to be getting any German style pill popping warehouse parties here but you do get instead some classy upmarket clubs with some very hot sassy chicks. Personally (possibly cos im a bit older), suiting up and working the lower approach frequency higher quality target game at these venues is more my style than beastmode scattergun approaching done at student venues and sweaty raves but each to their own. I'm sure Hamburg and Berlin has it's fair share of swanky clubs too, not been to Berlin but I do hear it's awesome.

I'm not big into my DJs or dance music but I didn't get the impression any big name DJs (ie the concert playing types) came here other than to the Sentosa beach festival Zoukout which as I understand is only an annual event. Tho Roger Sanchez is playing Pangaea this Saturday which I might go check out. But if that's your scene then i'm not surprised you were disappointed. I'm not sure the Marina Bay clubs will do much to change your mind but you are for sure going to get much better talent and less of a high school atmosphere than you would at the likes of Zouk. I think Avalon will be the most up your alley for dance music but I get the impression its dying a slow death at the moment. Other than that give Ku De Ta and Pangaea a whirl and see what you think. Perhaps if you can time it right come over for a weekend when there is a full moon party at Tanjong Beach Club on Sentosa Beach, that might be more your style: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7BX08pFj7E

1st time I went to Zouk I was practically fucking a bubble blond chick for about 30 mins at the entrance of the room before a security guard finally came and split us apart. Definitely had a rep by the end of that night..

Going to be on business in Singapore next week. Is there anywhere decent to pickup on a weekday evening? Last time I visited, most of the bars seemed pretty empty and far too many whores.

Only have a few days there so will be tough but would be cool to get my Singapore flag...

what days you going to be here? and what sort of venues do you prefer? Mondays & Tuesdays are a bit slow but plenty of options Wednesday to Saturday. Just let me know your itinery. drop us a PM if you prefer

In the end, I went the Badoo route.

Loads of Filipinas/Indonesians were VERY keen and I even Skyped with a few of the cuter ones. Unfortunately, they all work crazy hours and were too busy to meet on the days I could. They seemed like sweet girls for the most part. Definitely a lot of potential on that site though. If you were in Singapore for longer, I think you could have a decent rotation of these chicks going pretty quickly.

Had a date planned with a Chinese Singaporean chick tonight. Got to the meeting point but she wasn't there. She tells me to wait "one sec" but never actually arrives. My follow-up messages are all read and ignored. I stood there for almost an hour feeling like a fool.

It has been a long time since I've been properly stood up like tonight. What is this, 1994?! Just text to cancel you stupid bitch...

Post: #33

I experimented with the badoo thing and the tinder thing here in Singapore a while back but to be honest for me the quality on it is generally just too poor to bother with. Naturally for SE Asia there's a stackload of filipinas/indos/Veitnamese etc etc and you can get some action fairly easily if you are just in town for a couple of days and there isnt much else going on (especially on a Monday and Tuesday). But when you are living here and you know what are the best venues on the best nights, you have your club on lock and a bit of game about you, you will be easily smashing chicks above and beyond whats available (never mind attainable) online.

Oh and get used to premier league flaking and some proper royally rude behaviour from the chinese singaporean chicks. Not sure I have met such a bunch of plain dull ass chicks who have such superiority complexes and senses of entitlement far beyond their looks and personality anywhere else in the world. I have rattled a few quality exceptions to the rule but most expect the wining and dining treatment on your dime purely just cos they're female. Blame the culture of money, table service and guys trying to score by playing 'weekend millionaire' game for that. Trust me in all likeliness you probably lucked out by dodging a night of no action, brutally dull chat and a very large dinner & drinks bill. Esp if you are badoo/tindering, stick with the filipino & indos (indos esp my favourite) they will be fun, entertaining and will put out no problem. Just don't be surprised when they turn out to be bat shit insane

Give me a shout if you are back in town (ideally ANY other night than Monday or Tuesday) can head out with my crew and I can show you where we pick up the proper quality ass round here

This post is all truth. bolded for emphasis.

most singapore girls are very plain, if not outright unattractive. on top of that, they have a superiority complex/sense of entitlement that would surprise even the Laguna Beach crowd. but the worst part of it all is the fact that they are just plain, downright, boring people. their list of hobbies will look exactly like this: shopping, eating, watching movies.

no offense to any of our brothers hustling in Singapore right now, but i just can't see any upside (i'd love to be proven wrong). the happiest cats i've met there usually meet the following criteria: 1. work in finance 2. married/otherwise domesticated 3. consider eating out at expensive restaurants "adventurous" and "fun"

it's a molotov cocktail of boringness.

I'm in Singapore right now. I came here for business purposes. Damn, after HK the women are among the worst in Asia. The majority of girls I've seen are pretty ugly, and they're also really difficult for some reason. I've been getting owned by 5's and 6's, here. lol. The city itself is amazing, but the women are horrendous. I wouldn't waste your time in Singapore unless you're coming for business purposes. Or if you come with a girl, then it's pretty awesome. The city itself is really advanced. I'd stick with better Asian countries such as Thailand, Japan, and Taiwan.

Sounds like you had a few run ins with the local chinese singaporean chicks as discussed above. You try and have a bit of banter only for them to silently stare back at you with a confused dumb look on their face. Sound familiar?

There is some quality chicks kicking about, the westernised local girls mainly who like to hang at the expat popular places. it's just a case of knowing where to go on what nights. Kyo was one of those places on thursday nights but it's since decended into sausage city. Last Thursday was the worst i've seen it so I'll have to strike that off the list now unfortunately.

Post: #38

My two stays there have been very short but I quite like the place for doing business. Both times went well for me.

The positives:

- Great place to do business and cooperative people who cut the bullshit (try dealing with the mainland Chinese or Japanese and you will see what I mean).
- Hottest white chicks I have seen in Asia.
- Lots of Filipinas/Indonesians/Indians/Mixed Asians who seemed keen online - Ended up making out with an Indonesian girl within 30 minutes of meeting her but didn't get laid due to lack of time. I would have banged a ton of these chicks if my stay was longer.
- For someone who lives in a "normal" Asian country where it's even hard to buy decent cheese, Singapore is a godsend for Western things. You can buy everything in Singapore.
- Cool to walk around at night and safe.

The negatives:

- You need money to play. Walking around, I was thinking to myself "Damn this place would suck if I was earning less than 100k". Everything is expensive and the hot girls all gave me hardcore moneydigger vibes. In Tokyo, I really don't think about money that much. You can be poor and get laid with hot girls. I'm not sure how well that works out in Singapore.
- Ridiculously hot weather.
- Obesity levels are almost on par with back home. The number of obese Indian chicks was beyond funny.

good breakdown of your observations dreambig, particularly on the money thing. Hitting up the best venues which will have the best chicks is going to cost you some serious wonga. Even at the stage now where i can now get into the best club for free and get the occasional free drinks i am still dropping some serious cash on most nights out. And the vast majority of chicks expect you to finance their evening too. it may seem gold diggerish (well it is) but so many other dudes throw ridiculous cash at these girls to try and buy their attention that it's just become standard. Even the most downmarket of clubs will have bottle service and every table is 'reserved'. If you aren't buying girls drinks you just end up looking cheap (esp if you're white).

unfortunately as even though im confident my game trounces most of these dudes wallets, you still get cockblocked by it as it is hard for a chick to turn down the offer of free booze all night from some twats table when a drink here costs 15USD+. Plus asking a girl out for a drink you will be competing with another dude inviting her to his yacht party. She may be more interested in you as a guy, but you're not competing with him. You're competing with a yacht party.

The flipside however is it is highly amusing stealing chicks off these guys at the end of the night and seeing the look on their faces as they see their 'investment' go up in smoke

luckily enough im on a decent enough wage out here and its enough to afford to party in the best venues but it's utter peanuts compared to what most dudes in the club are on. in my home city back in the UK i was quite proud to tell chicks what i do for a living. here i am actually embarrassed. So i just tell them im an ass model...

I was there last week for a trade show. Id live there given the chance. Sadly I couldnt coordinate with Irish and Cyclone, but next time I hope we can go hunting. I will be back for sure.

Pros:
+ warm, tropical weather. I really like that.
+ Delicious food (with generous protein) can be had for reasonable prices (take that Japan!). Hawker food FTW
+ Friendly locals checking me out and smiling (!!). That was a nice change of pace from JP
+ safe, super clean, easy to get around.
+ Serious rule of law means people behave, only way to tame so many different cultures in one place. Compare to Johor...
+ wild mishmash of Indian, malay, Chinese, Western culture.
+ Lots of cute girls, in more shades. I ended up with a cute malay, what a treat.
+ English is defacto language, though if you speak at least bits of mandarin you'll go further with the locals.
+ Drinking on the street is OK. Or at least I didnt have any issues.
+ Vibrant economy and startup scene.
+ being an entrepeneur is seen as a good, desirable thing. Another point against JP for me.
+ Hub for biz of SEA and middle east. Splitting hairs between KL and SG.

+ Business is a lot more straightforward than JP, a lot less bullshit. People way more upfront.

Cons

+ Stupid expensive. 2 Beers at a popular pub ran me $40. Ouch. Alcohol overall is punishingly priced.
+ Shinglish. Grates my ears, and can be very hard to understand if you have never been out of N America. Combo of malay, mandarin and bits of english.
+ Its a 'fine country' the locals joke. Everything gets you a fine, and dont even think about bringing drugs (death penalty).
+ Not exactly vibrant art scene, but the art centre in arab town in alijiwa st had tons of fun sounding events like DJ nights and learn random dances. I would base myself out of there.
+ Expensive stay. My hostel, without windows ran me $80SDG a night (private room, AC, shared bathroom). I only used it to sleep and shag, so didnt matter much to me. Good logistics and had a sweet terrace, so Id do it again. Next time might try airbnb.

Overall the quality of chicks seemed decent, white guy curiosity abounds. Subway game possible, shopping mall game would be very good to the dedicated player.

Only thing to stop me would be the cost of living. If I could find a rent around $350 or $400 I could see how its doable.

I did manage to sample the local delights. A little chance and game helped (good logistics are a given).

Found her at the trade show. Came by a few times. Spoke perfect English (and mandarin and cantonese as it turns out!). Very cute, bubbly, friendly girl. All in all Id give her an 8. Got email, setup dinner later and we hung out (near my hostel, naturally).
Turned out we had lots in common, hard to believe. We went for a little walk, another drink and finish the night 'at a terrace I know nearby' (my hostel). Very little LMR . . . Sweet latina booty, asian features, muslim prayer in the background, allah akbar!

On my last night in Singapore I stayed at the Marina Bay Sands hotel. The rooftop pool was fucking awesome. The view is spectacular, and I basically hung out there all day. My friend and I met these 2 Japanese tourists and got them back to our rooms the following morning. the MBS hotel is worth it to stay in if you don't mind splurging a bit. It's not crawling with hot girls, but you can definitely find some hot Asian tourists there. If I ever go back to Singapore I'd stay there and wouldn't ever leave the vicinity. MBS is like a different country than the rest of Singapore.

Leaving Singapore was a fucking pain in the ass. I flew Tiger Air from SG to Taiwan. I wasn't allowed to check into my flight (in the SG airport) unless I was able to prove that I had an exit ticket from Taiwan. I was forced to book a flight on the spot. I booked a flight through Expedia and cancelled it as soon as I arrived in Taiwan. I've never been so happy to leave a country as when I left Singapore

Can anyone throw me some info on the best food hawker spots in Singapore to hit for good seafood, etc? I'll be there weekend of the 21st and staying somewhat fancy (St. Regis) but want to keep the food simple, and I know the hawker food there is a very good value.

Post: #43

There are tons of hawker stands. Hard to have a bad meal IMHO if you are into spicy food and Malay. I really enjoyed a duck and goose BBQ joint near bugis subway, I'll see if I can an remember the name.
Sichuan food was the real deal in the hawker places. There is a whole street of hawker restaurants near park view square, bugis subway.

Another great joint for flatbread with meats was near the sultan mosque. It's on a corner, bright, yellow and you can see them making the flatbreads from the window. Great food, cheap and cheerful.

Remember that no AC means cheaper.

Post: #44

Was about to say the same thing. The place is coming down with hawker stands so it's hard to really recommend any tho I would check with your concierge at the St Regis where he recommends for a good one nearby. As they can be a little hit and miss IMO.

However if I was to pick one out to go to it would be Lau Pa Sat (Telok Ayer Market) which is pretty massive. Cracking atmosphere there too, especially at night where they close off one of the adjacent roads and have an open air BBQ food. The place has also just been reopened after a massive $4mil revamp (tho I have not been since to check it out).

On another note I will need to rewrite my Singapore datasheet. Quite a number of changes are happening on the nightlife scene with a number of new venues and nights springing up. On top of that my beloved club-on-lock is shutting down for a refurb after surprisingly suddenly losing the crowd to some new rival start ups. So things are all a little unpredictable at the moment and I'm also a little out of touch having been off touring the likes of Ho Chi Minh, Dubai and Jakarta as well as being back in the UK for a bit.

A couple more venues are still to open up soon, including one this Saturday which is expected to be big (ex Pangaea staff/management). So I will hold off on that datasheet until things settle down a bit and we see how it plays out. However in the meantime if you are going to be dropping by PM me and I will let you know where the hot venues will be on the nights you are here as best to my knowledge.

Cheers

I need a new hotel. I am staying at Fragrance Hotel Riverside for 70 Euros per night. I just brought a girl to my room and she had to leave at midnight.
I need a hotel where bringing a different girl home every night is no problem.
Somebody has a recommendation?

Post: #50

You have to stay at better hotels which means more expensive. Fragrance and 81 are known for hooker hotels, means you bring hookers there to fuck for an hour or so.
