Race

Bank Roll

Venue Selection
Game Style ie direct / indirect
Dress
Grasp & level of the Countries Language
Personality
Level of prior knowledge / intel on location

I could go on, but you get the point.

Actually, do go on. Maybe we can use these factors in user profiles. So after you read a report, click the profile to learn about the dude.

hmm those are a pretty good foundation that covers everything. id also add for a profile sake, "Cities/Countries Visited" Also "Hometown" would be good to get a sense of where they came from alas small town midwest, big city, or from the south.

Posters would be able to click on the profile of people with rep points and see where exactly they have been and their specialty to get the best help and info on a future trip. Take Mixx for example with Colombia & Miami.

I would disable forum members posting abilities until they filled out their complete profile info.

I tend to read reviews on places with a little skepticism to begin with.
I am with Entropy4 with the remarks he made about Thailand, sorry but the guys I know that loved it had low game in there host countries.
Luckystar - I also feel the same about the Brazil reviews. Other than Roosh, I know most guys are not going down there to learn the lingo and gaming regular girls, when there are much easier options.

What I would like to see is a review of how the local men are with the local women. For example I found Swedish men (Sthlm) tend to party with there buddies and the girls they hookup with are usually through social circle. The men dress very well and stylish but I did not see them "game" the girls. Iceland seemed to be the same, although drunk game is popular there.

I think that kind of info becomes very subjective as well, for your scenario for example I would say you would have seen different "game" at a different kind of pace in Sthlm.

so while it is good to break down impressions, going to far means we might be reading too much into the interactions.

Roosh,

Ok I just went and looked at your profile info set up

Here is how I would tweek what you already have

Hometown - this is better and provides more info than home country imo
Game Level -
Race -
Self Appearance Rating -
Average bankroll Per Week Abroad - this will give a better understanding of what kind of bankroll and budget ppl have when traveling. How much you make a month doesnt necessarily equate to your trip bankrolls due to bills, spending habits, ect. One week will keep it simple and easy to compare for everyone imo.
Languages Spoken -
Countries Visited -
Countries Lived In -

Then maybe add in some of the more important factors I mentioned or just have alittle About Me box where someone can briefly describe there style, game, and preferred venue settings.

That would pretty much cover everything and be a GREAT addition to the forum.

EDIT*

To what G said below bankroll per week will give a clue as to what accommodations someone is in as well as venues. Someone on a 500 a week bankroll will prob be staying in hostels or cheap hotels going to regular bars / clubs. Someone on a 2K a week budget would prob be staying in nice apartments / hotels and hitting up some upscale lounges ect.

Post: #30

Maybe also add:

What accomodations the person typically stays in.

ie: hostal, dope apartment, 5 star hotel, on couches etc.

This is a huge indicator of the type of "trip" the cat is on.

I have seen people on here slag cities that I dig, but they were staying in hostels. Which also ment they were probably going to "hostal bars" not the sickest clubs in the city. Of course there is nothing wrong with this, but it gives you an idea of where the guy is coming from.

Totally different experience in a dope apartment en el centro.

Game Level & Self Appearance rating are way too subjective to add any value in my mind. It is something that should be judged by a jury of peers, though that is difficult through a forum. Our forum "reputation" is a better indication than any "game level" rating as such.

Well Sir, you are the man on the spot and are in a better position to explain how it is done. Let's say the men are not very aggressive compared to other places, but then again they are use to the girls so that might explain it.

Easier options as in pros? I hardly saw any hookers in Brazil, maybe I just wasn't looking but I literally saw a handful standing around the streets of the nightlife / red light district in SP and that was it. Oh and 2 in a Copacobana beach front bar in Rio. Not anything like I was led to beleive.

It is subjective yes, which is why no one should take it for 100% truth. With that said, for the people that are honest it will provide valuable info about a person.

For me id put

Game Level - Decent. Not some approach machine, indirect style, go off IOI's alot and use my friendly funny personality.
Appearance Rating - 7 to 7.5

Someone with a fearless direct game style doing TONS of approaches will be pulling more ass than I will on a trip imo. Gamestyle is important to know esp when trying to quantify the numbers when someone says they fucked X amount of girls in 1 week ect.

Post: #35

This is interesting. However, is there an option of keeping this info hidden from unregistered users?

Actually, scratch that, there is nothing too revealing in there anyway. It's up to people what they write in there anyway. I have also thought of suggesting something like "number of flags" or "number of notches", but that one would lead to some serious trolling, so better not to.

I like the suggestion. Privacy is important to me.

I would be happy to give my details to forum members, but not outside that circle.

Post: #37

Luckstar: What info in the profile do you want to keep private?

Thing is anyone with a valid email address can register, so keeping things private to only forum members wouldn't stop someone who wants to see it. I made sure to leave out things like age or current city.

/user-1.html (take a look at the right column)

I think that information gives a good snapshot on a guy, so that if you read his report, you can properly compare his experience to yours. What else should I add?

Height, body type, body type preference, race preference, occupation.

Just a few that came to the top of my head. Occupation seems like it could be a bit too identifying for some, but they could leave it blank. Also the more objective, the better. "Veteran" for game level is a bit too subjective, as I bet some guys who you think are wack would describes themselves in the same manner (SashaPUA). Better could be approximate number of girls laid range or years of in-field approaching.

Post: #39

All the info is general.

Even with age and current city thats nothing substantial.

We are not talking about real names, phone numbers, addresses, where you work, ect.

The info is fine and makes perfect sense.

It's the access to it. I have a few girls that sleep over on the regular. They often get on my laptop....somehow they have become familiar with the forum except they do not know who I am. I'd like to keep it that way.

The jealous types are very suspicious of me. I check/contribute to this forum everyday. I know they are reading along (though I doubt they've registered).... My hometown (small city), ethnicity (unique mix), bankroll, combined with places I've been to could make it easy to ID me. I don't know, maybe I'm just being paranoid.

I got a good stable going, just don't want my flow to get fucked up. It's headache to delete your web history everytime a girl comes over. And they always end up wanting to check their facebook the morning after. Sigh.

Anyway, do what you think is best. My reasons are admittedly selfish.

Post: #41

Like Roosh said. They could easily make a username in minutes if they wanted to.

I doubt girls are reading this site everyday just because they saw it on ur web history....

You're right, they aren't reading just because they saw it on my web history. They are reading because they are suspicious I have multiple gfs....which I do.

Sure, they could register...but why? Theoretically, they wouldn't know that profile info would even be available. And, it's not like they are going to contribute to the forum.

Anyway, it's not a big deal. Just something I am cognizant of. I'll probably put the info up anyway...lol

I use Google Chrome for everything, but when a girl comes over, a Firefox browser will be open that doesn't save any browsing history. I can safely leave the room and know she's on the "safe" browser.

A girl using my browser would lead to immediate disaster, since my toolbar has links to the blog, forum, twitter, etc.

might be better if it was appended to the data sheet instead

also peoples ratings of their self appearance in terms of dress sense shouldnt be rated from 1 to ten, as that scale depends on where they are travelling to and their self perception

pics of their aproximate dress style for the trip should be included in the data sheet so people can know what works or doesnt work

I dunno so I'm going to have to read a post then do a background profile check on the poster then reinterpret the post with my new intel. Then some other guy posts a cognisant reply but hold on a second I've got to do a background check on this guy too - seems like hard work and I'm not really sure if I'd be any the wiser.

I'm going to take everything into consideration if I'm trying to figure out whether I am going to lay a grand down for a plane ticket somewhere. I have a large list of possible destinations I might go to and any extra bit of info will help in cutting that list down.
