Reasons why popular game destinations are getting played out
If you follow the travel forum threads about SEA, Eastern Europe and South America, the overall theme is that popular cities and countries (and even less popular ones) are getting played out. Examples include Bangkok, Kiev and Medellin, but pretty much every city which is supposed to be good for game is affected by this.
I think the root cause of this problem is that there are more single guys with time and money than ever before. No matter what they say about the shitty economy, the number of guys who can travel the world short and long term is greater than ever in 2016. This will only get worse (or better, depending on your perspective) in the future unless there is a "black swan" event, such as a major war, economic collapse or a worldwide epidemic.
Specific trends I have noticed and experienced myself:
-Air travel is cheaper than ever thanks to low oil prices. For those who use credit cards to get airmiles, ticket prices can be almost 0, but even if you pay cash, they are cheaper than ever relative to the average income.
-Technically, it is easier than ever to get a location independent job or set up a location independent business. Culturally, these things are becoming more common and don't raise eyebrows anymore.
-High speed internet is available in most countries - landline and mobile. Wifi is pretty much everywhere.
-Airbnb, hotel price aggregators and loyalty points made accommodation cheaper and easier to find. It is also much easier to avoid scams with apartment rentals thanks to Airbnb. As a result, landlords who rent off Airbnb have to step up their game too.
-Uber and similar apps made it cheaper to take a cab and easier to avoid scams
-It is easier than ever to get travel intel thanks to websites and forums like this one.
-Google Maps and Google Translate, coupled with mobile internet, made it easier than ever to navigate unfamiliar places and communicate with locals at least at a basic level.
-Last but not least, marriage is less and less common around the world, particularly in developed countries. The kind of guys who used to marry in mid 20s and spend their time and money on wife and kids, are now traveling the world and banging sluts.
Unfortunately, I can't think of any good solutions to this problem other than getting off the beaten path and going to places that haven't become mainstream. As the saying goes, everything popular is wrong.
Of course, we should also maximize our "SMV" to be able to succeed even in "played out" places, but that kind of goes without saying. Speaking of which, I'm off to the gym.

Scenario 1: Put one guy in a room of three girls and see what happens.
Scenario 2: make one of the girls leave and see what happens when the door bells ring and 4 young well moneyed blokes roll in.
On a sidenote: I was on DIA and texted a Filipina, she was nothing special, just the ordinary pinay. Told me she has 600 unread messages.
Texted a good looking one in her 20s , while she was online.. she couldn't even be bothered.
Brodiaga's points are all accurate and on point, but the possibly the major factor resides here, and there is nothing we can do about it. Online game and dating apps turned the global sex/dating market upside down. There are no limits as to what many guys can go or do in order to fulfill their needs. Nowadays you can reach out to someone in the Siberian tundra or in the Vietnamese jungle...and then physically travel to these locations.
And on a more sociological and less technological standpoint (though both are intrinsically related) the amount of regular to good looking men who are not getting laid in the West, or in happy LTR's is growing by each passing day, the consumerist and frugal western society is at his apex, where women do not have the ability to value a good man, because in fact, most of them are a rare resource in a world of white knights, gamma/beta, SJW's, social retards, incels, and the few alpha players who can game them...
So the guys who have the knowledge and the means (I still think they are very few) go for searching greener pastures, and to places that at least up until recently are guaranteed of having easy and quality pussy (Kiev, Bangkok, Medellin).
As for Kiev, I think much of what has been wrote here in the forum about being depleted and full of foreigner PUA's nowadays, does not match my experience, since I have always seen the city full of foreigners since 2012 my first trip there, and a well done guy should have nothing to worry about if by chance there is an increase in the influx of male tourists in the order of 10 to 20%. There is still plenty of women for everyone, and guaranteed (like always) that the less prepared to succeed will certainly fail.

Bullshit. Your a broken record, you have shared this exact sentiment in half of your posts and others have called you out for it. Stop projecting your defeatist attitude on the forum.
The game is over for weak guys like you unwilling to adapt/self improve.

RE: Reasons why popular game destinations are getting played out
^ Have to agree with most of the statements above. I'm currently in Kiev. Struggling my ass off but, overall I realize that the problem isn't the women. The problem is my game isn't where it needs to be. So back to the drawing board and keep on plugging away.
I would rather be in a city surrounded by beautiful women and struggling then back in the states surrounded by fat feminists thinking there 8's.

RE: Reasons why popular game destinations are getting played out
As I am predicting, gaming will only get harder and harder. And you will see it happen quickly, within the next few years.
Its not because of some draconian law in the UK which prevents men from talking to women. Or younger women denying sex in place for cuddling.
Its because massive amounts of men are now game aware. Either in actually learning game, or just approaching for the first time. Or refusing to be beta any longer. And to the far end, denying LTR's to become the guy a girl has fun with, and thats it, no LTR's or becoming the inevitable beta boy bitch.
Look at the rise of Mike C. Who started here. And within two years, one of the largest voices in media. Its truly remarkable. And as more and more men agree with Mike and make him massive, they dig a little into D&P, and ROK, and RVF, and now, we have hoards of new men who are game aware. And now, men learning game for the first time. I am willing to bet on it.
So you are notice guys. There is a lot of new competition. The narrative is changing in pop culture. A rising tide lifts all ships. Make sure your boat sea worthy.

NO, it's the interenet, sites like this one. In the old days, there were actually niche, token jobs for Caucasians in otherwise racially excluding countries.
It's sites like these that give out the info. Most people can't stay for but a few days abroad, so they act unethically to get the flag. This ruins the perception of us.
