Quote:1)there should be a 21+ age limit for joining and specific compulsory guidelines for vouching for sb(eg validating their profile info in detail), which should be "refreshed" by the next individual vouching.
2)registration SHOULD be more elaborate and include LOTS more personal info(like medical records -you worry about predation when there could be ppl spreading HIV out there)and at least a formal ID number..any number that proves that the person is real
3)if a couch request is not rated "very good" there should be mandatory sublist points providing feedback and the same should apply for any request denied so SB in CS can filter it.All it takes is an algorithm.
4)I host men and to my mind there is NO predicament.If a female is so gullible naive immature irresponsible or ignorant to the dangers of accepting a COMPLETE stranger in her home then she shouldn't chance it-especially if she is living alone-and should host strictly females or exit the site.
So...before sb joins ..besides an outline and a fancy presentation of the cs spirit, they should be forced to read up in detail TONS more about the site.this shouldn't be optional but mandatory.Hell , you could quiz them at the end and if they fail have moderators contact them via msg and inform them that unless the read everything they will , for example, be blocked for a month!This is called raising awareness.
5) Set limits to EVERYTHING.the best way to filter freeloaders for example is to apply a probationary period of a whole month!It's that simply:your account is activated a WHOLE month after registration..this alone will filter the cheapskates, they can't sign up last minute and pretend to "belong" ...until they finish their holiday that is!Another example, set a simple condition:you CANNOT surf unless you have hosted!haaa!there's an idea!
6)I think the star rating idea is great but how do you value individual feedback?this is more complex..you would need a psychologically-engineered test to statistically collect TRUE feedback.
7)Why isn't there any legal support in CS?shouldn't there be a person or dpt that handles such allegations?that promotes and informs members of any such activities?shouldn't there be sb from cs investigating this and protecting the members?why did it take a member to draw attention to this incident?(thank you by the way)
8)ppl shouldn't treat the site so flimsy...in the real world..no, let me rephrase that:this is the real world...you take precautions ,you are careful..you don't pick a complete stranger off the streets and invite them to your home...don't you think for a minute that a profile is proof enough...
9)the female members involved in the harrassment should find themselves a kickass laywer(i would be surprised if they haven't already been approached pro bono!) and sue the hell outa CS.and that my fellow members would get the ball rolling in a jiffy!

Typical female approach to security: more unenforceable laws and regulations, instead of common sense. Ryan, the lone voice of reason, responded:

Quote:WHATTTTT???? Really??? I didn't get through the rest of your post this part stopped me short and I had to respond immediately.
In order to register for CouchSurfing you should upload your medical records?????? Including HIV screening????? uh.... NO NO NO NO NO.
1. that's crazy
2. nobody would do it. the site would die immediately.
3. it's nobody's goddamn business what my medical history is. Least of all CouchSurfing's.
4. a medical history isn't going to tell you whether or not someone is a sexual predator anyway.
5. If the site is not about sex then why are you worried about contracting HIV?
6. Even if you DID host someone and you DID have sex with them and they WERE HIV + and you DIDN'T use a condom and you allowed them to ejaculate inside of you for some reason.... the transmission rate of HIV from an infected partner to an uninfected partner is so miniscule it's unlikely you would catch the disease yourself. Maybe if you were having vigorous unprotected anal and he ripped your ass so you started bleeding and then came into your butthole... then you'd have something to worry about... but... if that's what your idea of a good couchsurfing experience is then a) get in touch with the guys from Roosh's site immediately I'm sure they'd want to meet you, and b) that places you in the small minority. Just because you like doing it raw in the pooper doesn't mean everybody does and shouldn't be reason to mandate medical screenings for everyone who joins the site.

Sorry for going off... that's just.. ridiculous.. briefly scanning the rest of your post some of those other suggestions seem extreme as well. Suing CS because some guys on the site bothered you is obviously a dead end. Where on Earth would that work? Not even in the USA, and I thought we were the most litigious place in the world.

You go girlfriend!! I can just picture this woman.... Im a strong independent women, headstrong, feisty and super intelligent, most guys cant handle me........ I would like to see this women do something in the real world that would work, can you imagine this women trying to invent something, start a business etc?

I can only talk for my experience and knowledge, but unfortunately most of the foreigners that visit Latin America will hook up with women very easily, and some women who travel outside Latin America alone or are just vacationing are gringo lovers and hunters (by gringo I mean any foreign not only Americans). They usually post in groups saying that they are going to be here for a couple of weeks or days and they leave their cellphone numbers waiting for text and phone numbers from "gringos". Sometimes they will send messages only to male CS. If you look in their profiles they usually have references and friends mostly from males. I have experienced how hypocritical some of these couch surfing girls really are.

The advice I always send to the guys that e mail me through CS to go out with me is: "if you are going to be here and you are willing to know the area and its culture just attend to any of the events, they have many and they are very fun".

Latin American women There is no need to post your phone number.

Im sure she only post that, because she's tired of loser looking guys trying to get a free place to stay an maybe hook up with her.

I concur, Ana is fine as hell, a solid 8 or 9. But looking at her main profile pic, why does it look like a pic a girl would use on a dating site if CS is about sharing couches and cultural exchange? Why put up like the sexiest pic of herself she can find as her main pic? Also funny that she complains about Latin women chasing gringos on CS, and here she is a Latin woman that married a white guy from CS herself. Hypocrite.

Post: #254

Ana is quite pale (even freckled), probably pure Spanish-blooded. I am under the impression that her advice was targeted at women below her on the socioeconomic ladder. She is not chastising them for using CS as a dating site, she's criticizing them for selling themselves too cheap.

Amanda in the CS independant thread:
Quote - "Just recantly two weeks ago I was all alone in one of our nightclubs after a friend of mine got kicked out for being to drunk. A guy approached me nicely and we started talking.

So I told him I write programs for an American phone company when you ring a bank or something the automated voice that answers the phone and I fly inbetween the office in the US & Darwin. Oh and I also told him I was 25 (he was 23 so I was trying to level the playing field)

Both statements are completely false I am 30 and I'm a systems administrator but my job is so boring to explain an intricate programming career is more fun to keep the conversation going. I doubt my lies had any impact on his decision to invite me back to his hotel room but they probably contributed to our overall chemistry. Its not new for me to embellish the truth when im in a club in fact I make a game of it sometimes inventing random stories. how many one night stands are because of your career? & if they are you sort of need to wonder why you are sleeping with a guy because he has a cool job... I mean its not like its going to have any future impact as you sneak out of his bed the next morning.

Generally they are based off confidence, appearance and charisma. I can't for the life of me remember much about the guys stories but I did have a very enjoyable night with him " End of quote.


Apparently it's ok for a woman to lie about her age and job and basically MANIPULATE the guy but heaven forbid if men do the same.

Lying to each other is as old as the road to Rome. I'd say girls/women are even bigger liars then men. We all had that moment in the morning when you wake up and the girl is not the same as the night before.

I have seen complete transformations when the girl got out of the shower after sex.
- No high heels: 4 inches shorter
- Nice full head of hair: extensions
- beautiful face: looks at least 5 years older without lipstick/mascara/foundation/make up/fake eye lashes
- tight body in a dress - saggy body when all the clothes come of.
- nice cleavage - fake breasts. I even encountered a fake ass once.

And the worst: playful sexy tease in the club: cold starfish in bed ( entitlement, i'm hot, let the guy do all the work and get all the passion going on)

Guys just shave and put some gel in their hair. The rest is real.

Post: #260

One of the independent women is trying to swallow the red pill:

Quote:I also come from a similar background where I have always had more men friends than women and never had them really hold back when around me. But frankly I have not heard the level of trash talk on that forum from them, even through breakups and heartbreaks (and I did nurse quite a few of them back through such episodes). I know they would sometimes joke by talking badly, but it never had this vicious tone, neither did it have the kind of impersonality that this forum thread has - like the way they are now posting snaps and talking about 'great tits' etc., and how doing someone would be like a conquest.

That's why I am having such a heard time swallowing this whole thing of 'this is accepted men behavior'....I know where the next thing would come...'oh how would she know'...like Ryan almost implied as to how people like us have bought into a greater sham...but these are men who I have known for now years and years and its just too damn hard of me to believe that I don't know them at all....

it could be that "because they haven't been exposed to the particular womanizer peer group"....because most of the men I know so well come from being in mixed gender groups all their lives, where they have enough women in any of their social groups and things like 'boys only' times are very rare...because most of the women in these groups are also strong entities, who can hold their own against any men around them (and probably beat them at it - be it a soccer game or a drinking match)....may be if you spend all your growing up years in such groups of almost equal gender participation, its less possible for you to objectify women and talk badly about them, as you knew them as friends and mates before you knew them as women, and in extension, you always learned to recognize women as people first, and not a just a pair of tits....

I am just wondering about this whole thing - because having been told today that this is a VERY COMMON phenomenon has created a lot of questions in my mind as to why it is (I don't still buy the whole 'biological need' explanation)...

One of the discussions which have happened often in these women's boards in CS is how men from certain cultures swamp women with messages and undue attention. I always felt that this is not a culture specific phenomenon, as I know as many nice Indian guys as say European guys (and I do know quite a few of the latter also), so in extrapolation, there would be as many 'seedy' guys in all cultures....and I remember saying in some of the threads that some men from certain cultures get a bad name because the intentions of large sections of men across cultures is the same, except that in some cultures, men, having been exposed to more gender interactions have learned to be more subtle about their intentions, while in some cultures due to a lack of enough feminine contact, these men don't really know how to put across these intentions with the same subtlety. And frankly, I for one would not know which one I prefer more. One where I can easily identify an intention, and one where I would not be able to (and no, I don't think that if I was played and I found out that I was played, I would still chalk it up as a 'fun' experience - see there is a difference when its in a bar or in a somewhat date scene where both parties are on the same page. In CS its obvious that both parties are NOT on the same page).

This thread particularly, with being told by everyone how this is accepted male behavior all over the world, has just convinced me of this above argument. That men in certain cultures attract undue flak, just because they are not well conversed in the subtleties of camouflaging their intentions well enough.

I found a group on CS called ENEMIES OF THE SENTENCE " I AM OPENMINDED, EASYGOING, I LIKE TRAVELS AND MEET NEW PEOPLE". As expected there is good stuff in there. From the CS is actually a dating site thread, here are some gems:

Quote:More options and half the effort. Of course people use it for fucking. It's like ordering takeout.

Quote:I use it as a psychotherapy site. The minute they come through your door just start blurting out all your issues. If they're polite enough to hand you a tissue when you start bawling crying, add them to your friend list.

Quote:Off course it is ! but a one who don't say he is one, wich is very intelligent and well made

Quote:Who has never slept with any of his/her surfers? Seriously??

Quote:Soon after my 'induction' into Couchsurfing, I was informed that CS really means casual sex. Or was it crotchsurfing?

Quote:I'm going to do a little research to estimate how many people use couchsurfing as CuntSurfing

This one is from a Polish chick:

Quote:The people that advertise that's what they're after don't. That's why there's the whole charade about "CS is not a dating site". You say that, and fuckable surfers will come.

From a Swedish chick:

Quote:The rule says: "CS is not a dating site". That's why you send a request, go to the persons house, skip the dating and go straight to bed: This way you're not breaking any rules and you get laid too.

From a Chinese chick:

Quote:Every website that gives men and women a chance to meet each other is a potential dating website.

I hate guys sending me those "I'm an open-minded sunny guy, I love traveling and I think you are cute from your picture... "messages

For the guys offering a guided tour or a couch then try to take you onto his bed at night, I think if they are nice, handsome, straight and you have had a good chemistry, it's quite a natural endeavor, if you could accept a guy met in a bar doing this, why not someone you already read their profile and comments before hands? I know a very nice couple met each other through CS, without this website they might never meet each other as they live n two continents.

And the girls, if you don't want to get fucked, please delete those sexy half-naked pictures from your profile when you search for a couch!

That Chinese chick knocked it out of the park. No wonder they're taking over the world. I would definitely bang that chick just for that comment, and: (1) I don't know what she looks like; and (2) I don't generally like Asian girls very often.

Post: #263

Couchsurfing chicks are some of the most hypocrital people I have ever met. How many Asian or Indian guys are they willing to meet or host. And they are mostly westernized, so why are forum members resorting to it, unless you have a nice pad in a great city...where eastern european and south american are visiting often. Go for local dating internet sites instead.

I've gotta give this Italian cat some credit for being clever. He lives in Rome yet has been posting this on various California forums:

http://www.couchsurfing.org/group_read.h...t=12667064

Quote:Hi Dear CouchSurfers,
The life gave me a big challenge to win. Improving my English in one Month!

Why?
Because my boss came to me in a quiet day and told me "You have time until Semptember for improving your English, Improve It or you will be fired".
[me: suuuuuuuure....]

How?
I know that the better way would be go in a English Country but I have to work in Italy - Rome. So, what can I do?

Solution:
I will host an American for an Entire Month in Rome. I offer a cute bed in the center of Rome. Obviusly Foods and Bed will be totally payed by me. You have to pay just the plane ticket.

So, Come On, Rome is waiting for you!
Unique Opportunity to stay for a long time in Rome totally Free!

Let me know!
Luigi

A young American chic has already expressed interest:

Quote:Hi! I am Reachelle and I live in California USA
Wow this sounds amazing! When would your English helper need to arrive??

He responds that not only will she be helping him practice English, but he is taking her to a small sea side town (Calabria). He must've watched Vicky Christina Barcelona.

Quote:As soon as possible. And from 12 August to 19 August (one week) I'll go to my sea home in Calabria (One of the best Place of sea in Italy) and the "English Helper" will come with me. So Not only Rome, but also the sea side of Italy :-). If you want to come or you know somebody interested let me know. I'll be very glad

A guy also expressed interest in being his English teach, but no response to him, lol. His hosting preference is for women only.

It'll be a real life version of that Onion article: http://www.theonion.com/articles/europea...ric,11552/

You evil bastards.....

Quote:Scouring CouchSurfing for sex is publicly endorsed by the much maligned Roosh V and his forum provides likeminded men with a space to exchange tips on how to pick up CouchSurfers. If this isn’t disturbing enough, I found one thread entitled “Bangs from CouchSurfing” where members discuss the overall attractiveness of female CouchSurfers and even post up individual profiles to be rated by other forum users.

Some excerpts from the website:

“Listen, the times I went out with a single girl on CS, it worked out fine, often ended up making out. But I have also wasted nights out with girls who were taken and thought it was going to be innocent fun.”

“It’s an easy way of getting women over, they are most of the time very easy to bang – but ugly as hell.”

And from Roosh himself:

“CouchSurfing has the ugliest girls of any country.”

I met my wife on CS, she recieved her very first couchsurfing experience.

hahaha

Also met the last 2 gf's before her from CS. This one is by far the best catch though... most of those women are usually spoiled brats. The men are usually liberal pinkos... I've only met a handful of guys and one guy tried to talk a girlfriend out of dating me using Spanish while we were eating at a restaurant that I paid for.

One of the other esl teachers...a liberal minded white knight who was frequently offended by my comments, remarked
"COUCHSURING SHOULD NEVER BE USED AS A DATING TOOL".. when I was talking to a girl about how she could meet more foreign guys..he of course said this infront of a female teacher. He is still single but travelling around with that female teacher, BFF.


Lol, the funniest thing is I encourage all of my female students seeking western boyfriends to join CS.

Yesterday morning, I received a negative reference from this German-Pakistani bitch **9 months later**

Before, I would fear this because that means loss of opportunities to couchsurf with girls, being a "pariah" in CS, and stress over writing a long response trying to defend my actions.

But I could give a fuck now.

With game knowledge I have adaptable tools to day/night game anywhere in the world. By working on myself, I make myself feel and look good. By working hard, I earn money to afford places to stay and have some fun while traveling.

And thanks forum, you took away my shame of being manly.

I would have accused her for leading you on. Say she was acting really flirty and you touched her arm while talking to her. As soon as you heard her say that she didn't appreciate it, you stopped doing it and focused on the NYE party instead of her.

It's not fair that she's giving you a negative review 9 months later. She should have made up her mind earlier if she was really angry with you.

It did cross my mind to reply with something like you suggested, but I think it's better for me to stand my ground and not be ashamed of my actions given the situation.

Yep, I happened to be an easy target after she's had enough CS dudes creeping her uptight ass out. When I first saw her review, I just had to laugh.

These women need to be adults in dealing with stuff like these, but we all know that's too much to ask because society thinks they're "pretty, delicate, little flowers" that must not be ravaged with life.

Come to think of it, my reply to her is still "vanilla." The negative comment should've included that:
-throughout the night, she looked like the event's wasting her time
-when we danced, it was like dancing with a statue
-she complained about the drinks I bought.
-I didn't get to bang her.

But that would be petty.
