RE: Couchsurfing, Earth - Datasheet
Messaging your Girl
Method 1: She contacts you. You will get more of these when you have lots of references and live in a high-demand city. Do not click the "accept" button right away, just continue bouncing messages, imply that you have to check on things first. But within 48 hours you should confirm it so she doesn’t settle for another guy. They usually message several guys at once when travelling so remember that you are not some special flower, you should still identify commonalities in your profiles to really seal the deal.
Method 2: If things are looking dry or you’r just starting out and you need to go send invites, keep your invitation very short. 1st line should be letting her know that your place will probably be free on those dates, and she can crash over if she wants to. 2nd line should be a simple something you have in common in her profile, "we need to talk [X]!". If there's no commonalities, just mention a perk of your location / living situation. Don’t be afraid to message as many girls at once because there’s no real penalty for ditching, but at the same time do keep a backup girl even if one confirmed.
1) once you both accept, get her Whatsapp/WeChat/Viber as soon as possible. Test the waters with light flirts, photos, and requests to bring you gifts. I recommend calling her to get a feel for her tone of voice, if she sounds giggly and pleasant it’s good news, if she sounds bratty or logical, cancel her. It also builds rapport to the point where she'll feel like she's meeting an old friend by the time she arrives.
2) girls from China use WeChat, girls from South America/Dubai/Western EU use Whatsapp, girls from Middle East/Philippines use Viber, etc. Just as your CS profile, you'll want to set up an attractive profile for each of these apps. Avoid adding her on Facebook, save that for after she leaves.
3) reduce flaking. Believe it or not, a girl might side with another dude that she's been waiting on in the middle of your interaction. To avoid this, always demand her number, instead of giving her yours. When calling her, ask how much luggage she's carrying, logistics for a pickup point, events happening that night, etc. These will all prevent her from flaking out. Remember, this isn’t Airbnb - there’s no motivation for anyone to keep their word.
4) in the event that multiple girls book you for the same period (1st world problem VERY real), settle on your primary girl by checking RVF datasheets. Aim for girls that are staying longer. Do NOT reject the other girls outright. Still ask for her number "just in case" things change, including on her end (i.e. her original host bails out, so now she needs to stay with you - happens all the time).
5) finally, check OFTEN. A lot of guys may sift through the listing every week or so, thinking that all girls coming in that month would have already posted their trip. That is not the case – plenty of girls make last minute trips – whether due to hotel turning out too expensive, a host friend bailed out, or just had a breakup with her BF, they will often add a new public listing. Stay on top, be the first to message before another guy gets to her.
Once you get many references (20+ in a small city, 50+ in a major city) girls will start requesting to stay with you, and the need to hunt for surfers diminishes. Keep in mind that only SOME girls keep their trips publicly open. Because this is the equivalent of a free-for-all dating site, she is assuredly getting messages from every scrub in the vicinity, making the chances of your message being noticed very low as she tosses you along with the other scrubs. But if her trip is kept private and she sends you a personal request it's an indication that you're on top of the pile.
Game
There should be nothing drastically different about your game style towards your girl. Your style is your style, and there's no reason to fuck with it too much.
Obviously be more passive with your approach during her entire stay with you. 90% of CS game is reading her behavior and then responding, rather than taking action (this is why you need experienced game to even begin) Be careful with your escalation - in the first hour, if she's tough to crack, you'll know, and if she's willing to get cozy, you'll know. The chances of her reference claiming sexual advances are rare but still possible. All you need to do throughout the day is throw in bits and pieces of suggestive sexual cocky material that makes sex something that happens often when you host. Escalate if your game hooks, or she’s generally very ditzy or doesn’t have her head on straight. Avoid logical topics like things to do in your city - that’s what her guidebook and white knights are for.
1) A big factor that took me a long time to realize is you have to take her clubbing as soon as possible. Tell her you want to give her a tour of the nightlife, and you should already have a circle of friends out often, in fact I introduce my girls to my wingmen. If she’s not the clubbing type, insist that you grab a cocktail together somewhere cool, then take her clubbing anyway. Hooking up is on everyone’s mind at the club, and while most clubbers go home empty-handed, you have a girl secured already. On an emotional level, it can feel to her as if you hooked up in the club, so naturally, you will have sex.
2) The second half of CS game is being more of a gentleman than usual.. drop the red pill stuff, pay for her dinner on your first or second night. Pick her up from places. Give her sanitizing wipes on her way out. Handle any injuries she gets. Possess phone numbers of resourceful people. Know the transport options. Have her meet your girl friends. Learn to be a man. You as a host are automatically in a position of power so you are allowed to take on a more traditional role; but you should still have her buy you something from the city occasionally, such as supplies or a pack of cigarettes. The more you do for each other the better.
By night the vibe has to have turned suggestive (talked about her ex-boyfriends, the dating scene in her hometown, even descriptive sexual experiences), it won't be long until she hops in with you. It helps a lot when a previous girl leaves behind an item like a bracelet, strands of hair (and in my case even her whole lingerie). Like guys, the girls can be timid about escalating with you because they too may fear a negative reference. I sometimes need to toss in compliments later on, to make her feel worthy or whatever. A lot of these girls haven’t had sex in months. Pulling her away from her smartphone is the hardest part, and so is defying the role of “tour guide”. Don't be the tour guide, be the attraction. Don’t kill yourself if you get zoned by a girl, the way she treats you is probably how she treats all guys she meets in her life so it shouldn’t be taken personally - all you can do is feel sorry for her.
Cons
Some disadvantages to implementing CS into your lifestyle. For one, when you've got a girl living with you, you won't be able to bring back girls from venues to bang unless your place is huge. Although I did pull from a club once and it was pretty funny for her to see another girl passed out on the floor already. But in general CS can be a huge cockblocker if your girl is not DTF as you're basically signing up for a week+ of no pussy and jacking off in the shower. Secondly, as usual girls use up a lot of resources. I had one girl take 2 hours (!) to shower, and another 30 min to put on her 2 bags of makeup, utility bills may be a bit higher.. But most of the time they're traveling hipsters with less care for hygiene than your average girl.
Looks are not an issue because you are the one screening them out and there are tons of hot girls on CS these days. The bigger issue is their personalities - generally, the girls (and guys) that join CS are socially awkward, and there's a reason they've been outcasted from their community and not getting hotel rooms with their friends like normal people. Your sleep schedules could be very different, travelers either wake up pretty late or really early. Finally comes the security issues that come with having her lounge in your room alone. Keep a safe for valuables like jewelry / hard drives or leave them in your office.
Epilogue - random notes
Negative references - the rules changed quite a bit in 2016, and work to our advantage. I won’t lay out the (rather complex) system they’ve implemented, but in general, the only circumstance under which you should leave a negative reference after a bad experience is when you are sure she has written one for you first (which is hidden at first). Every other circumstance she can get revenge on you so it’s best to just let it go. If you do write one, retain a calm, gentlemanly tone - never get emotional as future girls can see what you wrote for others by clicking on their profiles.
Multiple girls - occasionally, you'll have 2 or more girls want to couchsurf at your place. This generally reduces your chances of banging. Forget about the fantasy of having 2 girls on your cock all night, it's far more likely that you isolate one while the other is sleeping/out only if your place is big enough. Give it a shot, it can be a fun challenge to be nimble and navigate your way to isolation unnoticed. My first ever lay from CS actually occurred this way.
Presents - there are many other benefits to hosting chicks outside of sex. Girls will buy you bottles, bring gifts from their home countries, give you access to attractions they've been to; one of my favorites even blew $400 on a fancy hotel room for us on our last night.
Her paying for you - this is a trap. Unless you are absolutely sure that you won’t get the bang, do not allow your girl to pay for your drinks, food, tickets, or transport when you go out. While it may be a common rule in CS, it doesn’t bode well for you, why would she sleep with a man if she’s already buying his food? Remain the man by covering both of your expenses.
Meeting other dudes - nearly every time, your girl will want to meet "other guys" that have messaged her to go hang out while you're at work. They are likely scrubs and nothing to worry about, but occasionally she'll run into a guy that overpowers and make her lose attraction to you. It does suck, but a true nightmare would be them switching over to another guy for a night - never happened to me but it's something to look out for.
She ditches her host for you - there’s always another guy that has better logistics than you (nice house, location, availability), but he's a white knight little bitch, and the girl still wants some dick. Always stay in touch with chicks that are visiting your city, there've been a couple instances where I've pulled a girl away from her host for a night to give her a nice bang, god knows what excuses they used.
Code words - once she leaves, you can write a suggestive reference for her, hoping that future girls will dig deep enough to see them. You CANNOT edit references so don't go overboard or she’ll get pissed..
Alternate dating sites - on a similar note, believe it or not, just like men, these girls will use a multitude of sites to get dick while in another city just in case you end up being a scrub. I've caught my girls on Tinder while in my city. My current surfer literally just dumped me for a guy she likely met on Tinder, so it's something to look out for especially if she's young and ditzy.
Roommates - nearly every time I've hosted, I've had flatmates. They usually stay out of the way but you'll occasionally find your girl being swarmed by thirsty roommates and their friends. One time a Thai chick literally left my suite because I'd left her out with my roommates and wasn't paying attention while she got harassed by a bunch of indian dudes who showed up out of nowhere.
Taking photos together - good for CS profile pics if you need them, and an excuse to keep in touch - adding each other on FB, Instagram, etc. It’s common to cross paths again within a couple years.
Behind the scenes - it's pretty funny to see the enormous amount of requests a hot girl can get. Once you've slept with her or become BFFs, she'll likely mention how many guys have been messaging her before she chose you. Take a peek at her profile or phone; the more insight you have on what other scrubs are doing, the better you can adjust your game.
Retardation - occasionally you'll find girls that are borderline retarded, in terms of meeting you logistically or just general social common sense. However they're pretty easy to bang.
Daddy issues - this may be an extreme example, but I've hosted *three* girls whose fathers were DEAD. It's pretty common that women with distant fathers end up slutting out, travel more, or just have a host of psychological issues. Since they are easier to bang, it's worth it to ask her what her upbringing was like early on and whether you want to deal with it..
Immediate obsession - some girls will display immediate eagerness towards you in your first text/video conversations. In these cases, you need to really pile on the compliments. Again, contradictory to red pillism, but if you're already a superstar in her eyes, this is what she needs to feel sexually worthy.
Reference me anyway - even if your girl doesn't sleep with you, guess what, you still hosted a hot girl. Her face will be featured on your profile for the rest of your future prospects. Just make sure you left on a good note if things didn't work out; man up and send a couple texts ensuring her well-being and send the pics of your adventures to ease things for that good reference
She’s moving to your city - especially during the summertime, you’ll find that there’s tons of girls that are doing internships, English programs, or au pair in your city and she needs a place to stay for the first couple nights. If you can lock her down, you’ve got youself a regular bang for a good few months.
Help a bro out - once you get involved in your city, you’ll find other guys on CS looking to get laid (and some that do better than you). It can be painful when a hot girl wants to stay with you but your place is booked, so hand her over to a thirsty bro. You’ll be glad you did later on when he covers your back.
What other guys do - following from above, regardless of how you go about this, you should always be keeping tabs on what other guys in your city are doing. Most easily by meeting them in person and talking girls; they always have stories to tell even and can glean tips from them though half of them are exaggerating. Look at the type of requests they make, their line of business, see how you stack up against the major players in your city
Repeat customers - if you're in this long-term, you will even find girls coming back to your bed on their return trips. Extreme example, I literally had a Korean girl from 4 years ago fly thousands of miles to hit some beach resorts with me in a nearby city. Another one applied for (and was offered) a PhD in my city from across the ocean and is considering coming over. Never burn your bridges or cut ties no matter how dramatic things might have turned out, or she later got a boyfriend, etc..
As you can see the world of couchsurfing can fill a book and there's still much to squeeze out of it.. so get on it
