We heard about Cordoba, Argentina on Roosh’s forum. For those of you who don’t know about him, he has his own site about his adventure in South America a few years back. It was rated as one of his top destinations in South America. Hmm interesting…
We got in this morning dead tired from the bus ride from Buenos Aires. About 10 hours total time in a nice luxurious two story bus with dinner and a breakfast. But, the breakfast was full of candies, way to get the caffeine in your system in the morning huh?
Didn’t do much exploring during the day. My body has been compensating itself for lack of sleep lately so my sleep hours have changed. I slept the rest of the day and finally woke up around 6. Bolo already did some things around town so he was now passed out.
Looking over Roosh’s old posts and the Lonely planet we decide on heading to Nuevo Cordoba and plan to get a cab. Well, the cab driver tells us “Estas en Nuevo Cordoba.” Which means you are in Nuevo Cordoba. We walk down the street and end up at a bar playing some pretty nice electro music. We sit down and order some drinks. I can’t drink much, because I am on antibiotics. I got sick in Lima from the food and caught a bad case of traveler’s diarreah. Man did it suck. Don’t eat ceviche I am warning you!!
I see a two set… I ask Bolo ” U gonna open?” I decide to open and head over there. It’s a 3 set and it didn’t go well at all. I opened them with “Do you know any good clubs around here?” The one I opened tells me one then she gets up and the other friend sits down. The friends are there and I tried to talk to them, but I was getting shut out by them. They weren’t having it. I say whatever then I sit back down with Bolo. He opens his next sit and they didn’t speak much English- he is working on his Spanish.
I have to rebound from that last set I am thinking to myself. I look to my left and see a group of three young college girls having a drink and socializing. I get up off my seat and head in their direction. I ask them about cool bars in the area. They say “No somos de aqui…” (We are not from here.).I look over at them and ask them where they are from. The Patagonia. Wow, so you must like the mountains and the wilderness I ask my target to my right. She starts laughing and from there I sat down and locked in. I called my wing Bolo in who handled one of the obstacles.
In set
Ran the how many kids you are going to have palm read, kinoed, qualification, and frame control. She was a Psychology major at the University here in Cordoba… I asked her if she could read my mind? Bolo was stalling out towards the end because of the friends English inability. It was time to eject the set. Email closed- she said she didn’t have a phone? HMMM…. I’ll have to have something ready for that one because everyone has a phone these days…
Rest of the night
After that, the rest of the night was great. I couldn’t believe how many young college students there are in Cordoba. Some looked too young to be college students! We kept walking around the bar area and got handed a flier to a club called Bebederos. Bolo opens a set in there and the venue wasn’t too great so we head out….
I see a street set walk to my left… Bolo says open Latinstylez! I want to, but I’m caught off guard and don’t. We walk further past a park area and I see them to my left. This time I would… Asked about local clubs in the area and we kept walking with them… Bolo’s target was def into him and you could tell she was SNL material by the way she was looking at him… The problem was that she didn’t speak too much English. I would have ran obstacle for him- I can speak Spanish, but he had me run the apocalypse for him… She wasn’t having it… We moved on….

Last Venue of the Night
The last venue of the night was cool looking club in the Nuevo Cordoba area. Didn’t have the name of it on me… I’m going to start carrying around a notepad… As soon as we went in, Bolo was opened by a set of five hotties who were grabbing on to his newly shaved head… This definitely got the positive mood going… We talked to them for a bit to build social proof then walked around the venue. I spot a 3 set dancing… Open Latinstylez… I opened with “Quien da mas mentiras mujeres o hombres?” (Who lies more men or women) I have been using it down here in Latin America and it works well as a good opinion opener for two sets or more. They started talking and I picked my target out of the group… She had a piercing and I asked her if it hurt… She said no, then I asked her if she had any tats… Nope she didn’t have any…
I called Bolo in and he ran obstacle for me and his target ended up speaking English. The problem here is it was a 3 set. I have to work more on my isolation skills(I know build enough compliance with the friends)…with 3 sets as most of the sets I have been seeing in Cordoba are mixed sets. I was able to isolate for a bit when I number closed her… She was tall and very compliant to all of my compliance tests… I also joked around with her about being from the countryside cuz she was from a small town… She couldn’t have enough of it she was laughing so much…
The target and her friend went to get a drink so I opened a set of girls who looked pretty young. Found out they were 21… Again, Bolo’s target spoke English… And it was another three set… From another small town so I ran the same routine which worked well… Number closed…
End of the night
We were both pretty tired and decided to head home. As we were walking back, I thought to myself ” Cordoba wouldn’t be a bad place to stay for a while!” The young college population and fun nightlife make this city worth checking out… While everyone else is cold in Buenos Aires, we are all pretty warm here in Cordoba
Come join us on our next few days here and the next city we travel to!
