You guys keep saying its a numbers game. Well thats true in the US, but in Europe it's not. Because you just have to approach 3 and most like you will be 3 for 3. In the US you approach 100 and you will be 1 for 100 if your lucky!
Blah.
I've been all over the damn globe. And the only thing it's taught me (in regards to women) is that females are females.
Of course when you're visiting somewhere or traveling, you're going to view the people as more friendly, carefree, and social. Know why? Because you're visiting somewhere, and YOU are more friendly, carefree and social.
It always kills me when one of my friends gets back from traveling somewhere and says "The people in (country) are so much happier!" No, tool, YOU were happier because you were on a damn vacation. If you were in that country for 20 years, working 5 days a week, a part of the daily grind, you wouldn't see it the same way.
I love Europe. Don't get me wrong. But I'm mature enough to view my experience there as different. Not better. Not worse. It's just different. Some girls like me. Some don't. Some of the culture is better. Some isn't.
I highly recommend exploring the world. Because it's a learning experience and it helps you grow as a person. But I cannot stand when people try to package traveling as a cure-all for your dating woes. It's a bastardization of the true purpose of travel, which is to expose yourself to new cultures and ideas which you can bring home with you and share with others.
As if there aren't lonely dudes in these countries whining about the girls in their towns, thinking "Man, one day I'm going to move to New York and score all kinds of puss."
