Thanks for the heads up about Bergen. What do you think about Iceland and Finland?

Just to let you know the reason behind me not liking Bergen is the awful weather and the general lack of people walking around. There are hot girls there who are friendly though its just that the weather can be very cloudy and rainy and you don't have much foot traffic.

As for Finland I haven't spent enough time in Helsinki to give a verdict about it. I thought it was a nice town and had plenty of beautiful women.
You can't go wrong with Stockholm though. Beautiful city with amazing public transport and amazing looking women.

Gothenburg from what I've seen is a small city that is very walkable. I think the exotic factor would work even more in your favour. Vicous is the Gothenburg expert so listen to what he says.

Yhat is the exact reason I'm thinking about going to Gothenburg instead of Stockholm. Can the weather in Bergen be as bad as it is in London? cause London has pretty crappy weather and i got use to it after 2 trips.

of course we would, hence why we plan to split up into smaller groups. I don't think any bouncer in his right mind will allow a group of 7 guys into a club for the fear of it being a sausage fest.

Especially 7 black guys *blinks ominously*

Lol

Do you know how many male models come from Scandinavia? Many do.

Why do you think is it the case that Swedish guys in clubs just stand around in the corner, holding their drinks in front of their chest?

Believe it or not there are people who don't need game to get layed (if they have the looks, the height, the fame, or whatever).

My bad. So the .00001% of Swedens men who are models fuck all the 5 million women there?

In Norway I would hook up waiting in line to get in the club just by standing there and not acting like those guys. They are tools. Many times girls would say "I want one like him." just my short greek looking ass standing there with a slight grin watching these clowns.

El Mechanico, what was your general take on Norway? Is it similar to Sweden, if so i would just pick one of the two countries.

Post: #29

Norway is very similar to Sweden but a little quieter, the nightlife was not as good in Oslo in comparison to Stockholm. But I found the women seemed alot more open during the day, they do not see as many tourists in Oslo.
If you are going for 3 weeks then I would only visit about 4 places max, Skojpe seems to far off the radar.
I would do one city in every Scandinavia country, so Stockholm for sure, Helsinki and Oslo although you might change that for another city in Norway.
For the record I have been to both Stockholm and Oslo.

As a Swede I have to say:


I'd like to hear some true numbers on your stays, as in length and numbers pulled in order to warrant this kind of praise. Because I'm just not seeing any ground in reality for this "Black guys only need to show up" talk. You think black people is a novelty in Sweden this day and age? Heck, if what you guys say would be the truth why are you not living here?

I was only in Sweden to buy appliances and things, Norway is expensive and the food sucks unless you like reindeer hotdogs and sweet ketchup on your pizza.
Pussy was plentiful in Norway even though I stayed there in the winter in a small city (Skien)

Interesting! which city did you enjoy more? Also, would you recommend renting an apartment or booking a hotel? Please don't say hostels cause i never do those. lol

Please have a look at Vicious' data sheet on Sweden. He has pointed out that you won't stand out there with your looks unless you're a Hugo Boss model.

Who said you have to stand out to pull fine tail? Your mouth gets you laid more than your looks!
If you don't look like a Boss model what should you do? Avoid Sweden?

No I would never recommend a hostel, there are some apartments to be had and that will save you some money. I have been to Stockholm 3 times compared to Oslo 1, it is a special place to say the least and it fits my style/personality. I would never say it is a easy place to pull girls, however I would say they are friendly if you are black with a little style.

I would say you would have to spend a week there at least, although I am a point now where I like to tread on the path less walked. So Gothenburg has my curiousity peaked more these days, I have heard that most of the stunners come from there. Also keep in mind ALOT of dudes are heading to this place to game girls, I have not been there since late 2009.

Oslo it a cool place and the girls aren't far behind in looks compared to the Swedes, I actually think Norwegian girls might be a little easier to pull.

All the assumptions that you have to look like a hugo boss model, height, colour, weight are purely stupid. Swedish men have model looks and are very stylish, but there is a strong niche market for Afro-Americans (not Africans). Yes, they know the difference!

I was hoping to go this month myself, but my buddy got scared off the hotel prices and now the trip is off.

What kind of prices are we talking here and how do you generally find the hotels?

What star hotel? Please list the prices in Canadian dollars.

Thanks.

Post: #37

Moma - I tend to like the Scandic chain of hotels and they are 4/5 star, you would be looking at around $900 for 2 for 4 or 5 nights. Not bad really but a bit pricey considering you are dropping another $1000 on air flight.

Just did a quick search and the last week of August you are looking at $1000 for 4 nights for two. This is a bit too close to the date and the prices have increased.

Are you thinking of making a move there soon?
You back in Tdot?
I may try for a November flex?

I've been in the dot, bro. Went to the Caribana this weekend and was day gaming like a beast. Hit up a night spot again last night and put in more work.

I won't make the Scandinavia run quite yet, I have some other destinations in mind and I am still a 9-5'er which means I am limited as to when I can take vacation.
But it sounds very interesting, I need to get the blonde fever out of my system and pound out a few Nords....

If the hotels are too much and hostels aren't your thing, check out airbnb.com. I think it seems like a good compromise.

You are quoting me out of context. What I said was "Unless you are a Hugo Boss suited model you will not cut it alone with looks and dress sense." That being said you can still get around such a hurdle with game. But as an african-american you can't just show up and think that's all you need to do.

Problem is that lately African immigrants have caught on to this and are making themselves out as African-American or Jamaican. Some has gone so far as getting fake Cali ids (that particular case made some headlines here early this summer due to some Somalian dude with Hepatitis C).

All I'm saying is, don't take anything for granted, bring your game.

If you need help with hotel prices in Gothenburg let me know in PM. I can hook you up on corporate rates (~$150/night for a city centre 4*, or $195/night for the swankiest hotel in town). I see some Scandic hotels for $130 on Kayak though.

This might deserve a different topic but I always insist that besides accent, one cannot differentiate between an 'Afro-American/Afro-Carribean etc and an African.

Somalians do have a distinct look (although P diddy could pass for a Somalian) but the West African look can very greatly in terms of one knowing who is African and who is American black.

The nuances are not as clear in Europe as they might be in the US.

Afro Americans are generally larger than all other males of the Afro group but this is due to the incredible nutrition in the U.S as opposed to anything.
When you get Afros born and bred in the US, by and large they look like the others...
but it depends on what part of Afrique, their parents are from...

I can easily tell the difference. Africans are usually much darker and have more signature facial features. Look at Obama's dad vs Denzel.

Agreed!

A Swedish girl I know told me that Africans have been faking they are American for years, so this is nothing new. They may have a Cali ID but there are little things that will give them away.

You don't even have to look at there face, you can look at there shoes/clothing. I mean I can tell a Brit a mile away and a normal American as well.

Generally speaking, North Americans tend to be larger on average - although you will find more than a few large ghanians/nigerians.
