How to pick up the fairer sex while Traveling Abroad
So, been meaning to put this up for a while, as there seems to be a lot on GC surrounding this topic, but nothing specifically addressing it. As a personal background, the last 4 months have swooped me from a domestic homebody to traveling to strange and really quite amazing locations. Really, I couldn’t have asked for more, and I dramatically improved my game along the way. Though, keeping pick up as a habit became a tough, tough challenge, and I had to pass quite a few mental barriers across the way. So I write this post in hope that –
A.) You keep your pickup habit while traveling abroad (whether domestic or overseas)
B.) You are better educated on places to go and what to expect while choosing a foreign escapade
How to keep your PU skills polished when traveling
If you've ever had a consistent schedule for a habit, be it a gym schedule, diet, etc., you’ll know that even a minute change in course can have a chain effect on your daily practice. Make that 10x more pronounced, and you have the challenge of PU while traveling. Why? You probably wake up at a certain time every morning, have rituals that motivate you to leave the house, and can only game at certain times. All of that inevitably changes while you're traveling and that’s where most people fail. This post is designed to prevent you from joining that thought.
--------YOU NEED A ROUTINE/SCHEDULE--------
Routines aid you by making it easy to continue your habit, allowing you to conserve on mass amounts of will power. You NEED that willpower to help you go out sarging, otherwise you'd burn out in a few days. So if you’re new to the pick-up-and-go, everyday-is-different kind of game, here are some basic routines to start your flow and conserve willpower long-term:
- Get out of your hotel/hostel and FIND places to game – Make this damn near one of the first things you do. It’s so incredibly important not to procrastinate this, because the fear of going out will set in eventually. Create a list of cool looking places from TripAdvisor, or a similar site, and visit them. If you want to start gaming on the first day too, do your thing. Just remember to visit most or all of the locations you have from your list to find the BEST place to game for the rest of the days.
- Have days and times you specifically set to go out and sarge – You need to do this. It’s probably a good idea to do that in your hometown anyway, but it’s especially important while you’re traveling and you don’t feel so comfortable. You won't use willpower deciding if you should go on an arbitrary time or not when it's already scheduled!
- Become familiar with the country/area – that means a little of the language (don’t use it with the ladies), the ethnicity of the people, the general attitude of the area. These all just help you feel more comfortable with the new country, and that carries into your fundamentals (how good your posture is, having strong eye contact, etc.).
- Take pride in being a foreigner – You want to be comfortable with the country, but don’t supplicate to it. Be mindful of offensive behaviors (obviously you’re in their country, don’t trash it). With that being said, read this article, and why being a clueless foreigner will HELP your conquest
- (Optional) Create a ritual/Get in "state" – For me, whenever I'm done taking a shower, I listen to a motivational speech, and I'm out the door. No matter what (on days I scheduled approaching). It's a hard limit I set for myself the first week I started approaching regularly, and it helped a ton to get me motivated to leave the hotel. I just felt more ready for whatever happened...I was in state. If you create a ritual where you fly into the right head-space, and you always game after, you've got yourself a fully functioning ritual
Where to go and strategies for PU Abroad
Obviously, the places that are going to work best for any individual are going to vary. But here are some rules of thumb while deciding on a destination:
On any country – A pattern I’ve noticed in every single country I’ve visited is that I was consistently getting better results in the second or third largest city, rather than the first. Why? The conclusion I’ve come to is, you get much less tourism in the smaller-big cities, and being a tourist makes you much more of a novelty. Couple examples – In Japan, Osaka is better than Tokyo; in Italy, Milan is better than Rome; etc.
SouthEastern Asia/China/Japan – If you are white/not-Asian (sorry Zac), you are going to clean up here. Really, doesn’t matter if you’re a complete virgin, you will get laid if you game here. Again, aim for a slightly smaller city here. For tips on Asian chicks, check out this post Chase and I both commented on
Eastern Europe – I’ve asked other very talented seducers and naturals about this, and they’ve all heavily agreed: Eastern Europe is where the highest proportion of hottest women are, hands down. And even if it’s not a local you pick, you’ll find a lot of adventurous tourists in these destinations whom are also looking for a one night dalliance. Best cities for gaming in Eastern Europe are – Budapest, Hungary; Prague, Czech Republic; Bucharest, Romania; and Belgrade, Serbia.
France and other Western European countries – This is a bit of a difficult one for daygame; definitely difficult if your fundamentals aren’t very tight. Though, I’d venture to say that if you are experienced in nightgame, the clubs here are fantastic places to go. If locals come here, they know and expect foreigners to be here, and that helps your case. And the clubs tend to get really steamy on the dance floor…
Australia – I learned to game in Australia as an expat American, so I can’t really give an unbiased review of this continent. However, Aussie men tend to have pretty solid fundamentals, and are unusually well traveled/culturally aware, so the competition is fierce. Though when traveling, it’s nice to speak fluent English, AND have the foreigner aura, so don’t rule the Land Down Under out. Come here if you want a challenge (or you want to run some of that beach game).
The United States – For those of you GC bloggers who don’t live in the US, you’ll find places like downtown Manhattan in NYC or Central LA difficult to daygame if you don’t have very tight fundamentals/good game, but venture into any slightly smaller city, and you’ll find yourself much more at ease. If you happen to be in the area of one, check out to see if you have any Universities (or colleges) in the area. Those tend to be FULL of hot, younger chicks...
In Conclusion
As with any aspect of game, no matter where your location, it's important that you just keep approaching. And while traveling can throw you for a headspin, you can keep on top of your hard-worked habit of approaching by following a new routine. Once you know where the chick-hotspots are in your new destination, you'll feel incredibly more at ease gaming. And from there...well...I hope you know the rest
Cheers! And here is to you and your insane world escapade.
Would love to hear any and all critiques, comments and questions on this post
