The games will still be memorable, and you'll still meet women if you come to Russia, but I think you'd enjoy Russia at least almost as much for a fraction of the price if you go in May or July, or another year.
My advice would be to go to to Iceland, as something like 10% of adult males will leave that island to go to the world cup, leaving their womenfolk behind. Same logic applies, although to a lesser extent, to Poland, Sweden, Germany, Argentina, and Brazil, which all, at the very least, will be seeing less backpacking tourists then as millions converge on Russia.
I strongly disagree. I was at the Euros in Austria and Ukraine and at the World Cups in Germany and South Africa. Except in Ukraine I managed to get laid at least once during all the other tournaments. Of course ratios are not good at all but 95% of football supporters are either married, just want to get drunk and party, or doing P4P and strip clubs.
On the other side locals can get out of their boring lifestyle with events and parties going on everyday in their boring cities and everyone is in an almost holiday kind of mood. Furthermore lots of countries have quite a high female ratio of supporters. Go to the cities where Sweden, Colombia, Brazil are playing.
On another note. There is currently the last minute ticket sale going on. It is a first come first serve sale so if you want easy access into Russia for over a month just buy a ticket for some group game and go to any city you want.
OK, it is true that most football fans, while male, will not be competition! Still though, the night before Germany-US in Recife, the clubs were a huge sausage-fest, and not worth setting foot it. I still had fun in Brazil, as I wrote, but I think I've enjoyed my other trips to South America just as much or almost as much. It's true that the party atmosphere helps.

no man, read this (from the fifa website)
*Visa-free entry and transport benefits *The FAN ID provides visa-free entry to Russia for foreign citizens that have purchased 2018 FIFA World Cup™ match tickets. Such fans will be able to enter and remain in the country during the period that starts ten (10) days before the first match and ends ten (10) days after the last match of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™. Please note, that a FAN ID will be also required to leave Russia once it had been used for visa-free entry purposes. For more detailed information, please visit http://www.fan-id.ru.

Why, no?
We can go to Russia 10 days before, 10 days after, tournament take about a month, so in total 50 days without a visa.

Whether they will enforce the need for match tickets at airports, who knows? You can always buy a ticket for some dud match in Saransk - no need to actually attend the game.
No, that won't be the case. Because the people who bought their tickets in the very last round recently, won't have it sent to them in their own respective countries, but rather have to pick it up at the Russian airport after arrival or in a fan zone at a pre-scheduled time.
Speaking of tickets, the delivery has started and anyone who got their tickets in phases 1, 2, or 3 of ticket sale should be getting it at their addresses within the next 2-3 weeks.
It has crossed my mind though, what happens to those who bought a ticket, got their Fan ID delivered, and now put their ticket on sale through FIFA website ?!

this is spot on. i went to Brazil and whilst the place was over run by foreign blokes who were on the prowl for the world cup i found that there was more than enough women to go around because the Brazilian women love foreigners and they all came out of the woodwork to join in on the fun.
When Australia played Holland in Porto Alegre we all went to a bar/club in the centre of town and the place was full of hot brazilian girls and they were all so keen for it. They just wanted their Australian flag. Within a few hours there was literally a queue of local girls waiting to get into the place. There were fairly average looking guys picking up stunners all over the place.
It didnt matter how old you were, if you were married or whatever, everyone was getting a piece of it. to be honest i've never seen anything like it. my best mate and i ended up doing a mother/daughter combination (i got the daughter and she was engaged so it took a bit of work but it was worth it!!). my mate did the mother in her car.
Rio was a little bit more difficult as foreigner value isn't quite as high and there was probably a larger concentration of guys in Rio. In saying that i was able to score a ONS there on my last night before flying out to Porto Alegre.
one thing i learned about Brazilian girls versus Australian or other western girls is that if you can't play it cool with them or you'll lose them to another guy. if you're working on a girl then you need to stick with her all night.. if you play it cool and go off looking around at other options then when you come back she'll be off with another guy. You have decide if you want her and if you do then you have to stick with her and then you'll be rewarded at the end of the night with a ONS most likely.
I expect Russia to be fairly similar, especially outside of places like Moscow.
