Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday...

Pick Up Artist are generally viewed in a negative light. One PUA who courts this controversy is Roosh, who expresses his strong opinions on his blog. Roosh is a PUA who gained popularity after writing about the D.C. dating scene. Now he has moved on to South America to continue his adventures. We got to chat with Roosh.

Basic Questions
1) How did you get into pickup?

I was reading a business forum in 2001 when someone randomly posted a link to Tony’s Layguide. As I was not getting laid, I studied the guide for a couple months then tried out some of the techniques. They worked and I just kept going.

2) What is your dating philosophy?

No matter what stage of the game you are at right now or how ugly you are there is a girl out there that will fuck you and the only way to find her is to keep approaching until you succeed. The mere act of approaching is the most important thing a guy can do.

3) How did you get good at dating to become an authority on it?

I’m sure there are tons of guys who are better than me, but my skill comes in explaining it in a clear way that other guys can understand and apply it to their own lives. Everyone knows a natural who bangs tons of women but who has retarded advice like “Be yourself” or “Smile.” He can never be an authority because he has no clue what works and what doesn’t. On the other hand I feel like I  know what will help the average guy.

4)What do you think guys greatest mistake with women is?

They’re too needy. You can see it in their eyes when they’re talking to a girl—it’s like everything collapses in the background and the sole reason for his existence is to give this new girl his undivided attention. This goes hand-in-hand with confidence issues because a guy who thinks he doesn’t deserve a hot girl will wet his pants if he just finds himself in a conversation with one. He sinks her claws in her and of course it turns her off. I think a lot of guys can be served well by adopting an aloof and indifferent mindset.

5) In your experience, what is the best place to find a quality girlfriend?

It depends on the guy and what he wants. If quality to me is a Latin girl who loves to dance then I’d hit the salsa clubs. If I want a girl-next-door bookworm then the coffee shop. If I want a vapid, hot girl then I’d go to the club. A guy needs to find out what he wants and then figure out the place that has it. There is no magic place that has a neverending supply of quality.

6) What are some ways to enlarge your social circle?

Be cool. Do you think a cool guy has to think about ways to expand his social circle? No because other people are trying to hang out with him, calling him on Saturday afternoon trying to figure out his plans. The better question is how can you be an interesting person to both guys and girls so that they want to hang out with you.

7) What was your life like when you weren’t good with women? What is it like now?

I played computer games (Warcraft, Starcraft) and poker with other guys who also sucked with women. It was a vicious cycle: hanging out with guys who were just as bad as I was, our skill never improving. I still believed that one day I’d get lucky and meet a hot girl who would find my lack of confidence, self-esteem, and conversational ability endearing. I also believed that being friends with a girl first was the best way to have sex with her. It never worked. Whereas then it was a huge deal to have an interaction with a pretty girl, it’s less significant now. I work on many girls at the same time and always have options. If one girl is acting flakey then it’s no big deal because there are others I can get with.

8 ) What is one of your favorite techniques/tactics?

Breaking up with her. In the course of our first conversation there is going to be something that highlights one of our differences (e.g. she likes dogs and I like cats). Then I tell her that while we had some good times, I can’t continue the relationship and it’s best if we go our separate ways (while holding her hand or touching her in some way). I’m in Colombia now and I made sure to translate this little routine into Spanish.

9) Do you use props? If so, what gets the most reactions?

I don’t use props, but I think my beard and mop-like haircut is a prop in itself.

10) What is your biggest sticking point?

Sometimes there is a girl I want to talk to but I tap into my experience and determine that, based on my previous approaches in this type of situation, the interaction will not go well and I should just save my energy by not doing anything. In effect I feel like I can predict the future, but of course no one can and I probably cost myself quite a bit by pretending I know how things would turn out. I make things harder on myself by overthinking.

11) What pick up artist has inspired you the most? What did you learn from them?

I would say David D’Angelo. His “cocky and funny” concept was very easy to understand and implement, and did the most to help me understand how attraction works. I’ve toned down the cocky quite a bit and found that humor alone is just as potent assuming you are confident. If not then you will come across as silly or goofy.

12) Describe the moment when your realized you need to work on this part of your life.

It was my last year in college and I asked a girl out to the movies, but she said she was busy. Two weeks later I saw her on campus holding hands with another guy and I realized that I had to make some changes if I wanted to get the girls I wanted.

13) What advice do you give to newbies starting out?

Hit the gym. It’s the most reliable way to improve a guy’s confidence, and he’s going to need every bit he can when it’s time to walk up to girls.

14) In your experience, what is the biggest issue for guys getting attraction from women?

Just being normal. Lot of guys are studying all these lines and routines and it comes across as weird and sometimes creepy. If you observe naturals, they’re having a normal conversation with just a few jokes or cocky bits thrown in, but not everything they’re saying is game. Being a normal, confident guy who can have a laugh is usually all you need to get laid with cute girls.

15) What are you goals for the community? Your life?

When it comes to the community I think guys need to be careful about who they idolize. Because no one guy is going to have the answers (including myself), they should pick and choose the advice that fits their personality or lifestyle best. I understand this is a big business now but guys should be skeptical of everyone. I’m at the stage of my life where I have a lot of experiences that I can share, and that I know helps others. I like passing wisdom I’ve learned.

Specialized Questions

1) Why did you choose to come to South America?

It came down to money and language. The two other parts of the world that I was interested in was Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia, but I really loved how in South American I only needed to know two languages to get by. Plus I like women with darker, tanned features and curvy bodies, which South America has.

2) What’s the difference between sarging in North America and South America?

The logistics are about five times easier in N. America. Girls have their own apartments. They like to drink (a lot). They don’t have to be home by a certain hour. They don’t hang out in huge groups. They aren’t strict Catholics. And most importantly, they speak the same language as you do. I think a lot of guys have the view that getting laid while traveling is easier, but that’s only the case if you have a lot of trouble getting laid in your own country. If you think you’re going to visit a new city every few days and get laid in each one, you will be sorely disapointed. You’re going to need your own cell phone, you’re going to need time to find places that have the girls, and you’re going to need your own place (or at least know where there is a love motel). Otherwise you’ll be counting on luck quite a bit.

I’m still surprised that being a gringo hurts more than it helps. The quality girls that you want are not looking for some one night fling with a guy she can barely communicate with. She wants that connection too. If you don’t want to dip into the dregs with the poor girls, you’ll have to work quite hard for quality. That includes studying the local language and building roots in one city for an extended period of time.

3) What country do you like best and why? What about women-wise?

My favorite country is Brazil. The country itself doesn’t is an oddball in S. America because it’s so much more colorful and exciting than all the other countries (and dangerous too, unfortunately). It’s a happy place to be in, and while it’s the most expensive country in S. America I think it’s worth it. The women are extremely sensual. They know how to dress and walk, and most importantly of all, please a man. Once you go Brazilian, you don’t go back. And yes, they like gringos.

4) Can you relate a success story about one of your clients?

When I was in the States I was teaching a day game workshop every weekend. I had two students at a time and one of my students was attending a small college. He had practically no approach experience. I ran the lecture and then we went out to various venues like the coffee shop, clothing store, and eventually the street. Now the street is the hardest place to pick up a girl, but there he picked up a very cute girl using the material I taught him. I hear from him every few weeks and he tells me how much progress he’s making. I want to take all the credit, but of course I know that a lot of guys simply need a nudge in the right direction. He’s doing things now that I didn’t teach him and that’s because his early successes keeps pushing him to approach and continue. In only one year I know he’s going to be very good.

5) Why did you choose the name Roosh?

Roosh is my nickname that I’ve had since high school. I probably should have thought harder about using it online because girls google “roosh” often and my blog is the first result. It gets me into trouble all the time.

6) What are your fundamental teachings?

Approach indirectly in large numbers to aquire the experience needed to know how to talk to a girl and make her laugh. Learn the little tricks that take the interaction from one stage to the next. Don’t worry about quality until you get a solid grasp of how the game works.

7) How do you differ from other dating coaches?

I think I’m less of a sell out. I put out a quality book at a low price and genuinely want to help guys. Even my workshop was so cheap that a bunch of my students said I should charge more. Others have helped me when I was coming up and I want to return the favor. I’d do it for free if I had a trust fund or lottery winnings.

8 ) Your known as a misogynist / sexist pig in the community. How do you respond to that?

I think it’s disingenuous to say you love women but want to have sex with a lot of them. It’s a fact that the less you value women, the more you see them as worthless whores, the more of them you will have sex with. I’ve simply adopted the right mindset for my goals. Guys who think women are flawless princesses will not get many bangs out of the game.

9) You’re a well-known blogger (enough to get a parody site). What can you tell us about blogging and your blog?

I’ve had a blog in one form of another since college but things really took off when I focused on the Washington DC area and blogged almost exclusively about girls and nightlife. Gradually the audience grew to where I was making enough money from advertising and book sales to quit my job. I don’t make nearly as much as when I worked, but it’s enough to live in a third-world country such as Colombia or Argentina. My current blog is going on its fifth year, and while it doesn’t bring me as much joy as it used to (at times it feels like a job), I still have a lot of things that I want to share. I may blog less in the future but I don’t think I’ll stop it completely.

10) Tell me about your products.

Right now I only have my book Bang. I wrote it when I felt confident enough about the level of my game that my knowledge would be worth paying for. It has five chapters: Internal Game, Early Game, Middle Game, Late Game, and End Game, and describes step-by-step what you need to do to from the appraoch to sealing the deal. I even talk about the order you should remove a girl’s clothes in bed, something that I haven’t seen other guys do.

11) What are your plans for the future?

I’m working on a memoir now about my previous trip to South America which I hope to be done with by fall of 2009. After that I start work on a day game book, and I have other ideas for books in the future. I think book writing is what I will be focusing my time on for the next couple years, until I get into straight-up pimping.

What should you say to them? Ask Karea.

Karea is one of those dating coaches who you’ve probably never heard of but who your favorite Pick Up Guru knows and respects. He’s currently traveling South America and it was a crazy coincidence that LatinStylez and I met him (He found us by googleing for Colombia Wings and turns out he knows the Pick Up Asia crew). It just goes to show you all the different types of people you can meet when you travel.

1) How did you get into pickup?

I got lucky: when I was 16, I had a music teacher who was a real Casanova. He always had 4 girl-friends, he pushed me into sets when I was too shy to talk to girls and taught me more about women than about chords and scales. Years later, I met a natural who taught me a few more things and that’s when I really started cold approaching on my own. Only another 2 years later, in 2004, a friend of mine told me: “You know, there is a community on the internet of guys like you. They call themselves pickup artists.” I was skeptical – how much could these computer geeks really know about women? Haha. Little did I know. (:

2) What is your dating philosophy?

“Stack work is no less important for a PUA than it is for a comedian.” All the very best PUAs I know have a gameplan – Sinn, Captain Jack, Vision, Mystery, Style… If you write a stack, and then go out and run it often, it’s almost inevitable that you will improve. It’s also almost inevitable that your dating life will be more abundant than you will have free time for. I see the whole “natural game” trend in the community and it’s something I did for several years myself… until I got invited on Mystery’s Lounge in 2006 and realized that it’s the only forum where people consistently post 6-8 new lay reports a month each! Now, whether that’s your goal or not is a different question – but it sure showed me that there is something to this stack work.

3) How did you get good at dating to become an authority on it?

Enthusiasm. I love talking about girls and I love talking to them. What I was really looking for in the community were like minded people – cause most of my friends just got bored when I talked about chicks all the time. (:

4) What do you think guys greatest mistake with women is?

Rather than answer this question myself, I recommend you ask some of your girl-friends about the lame things guys do to try and pick up on them or impress them. It’s actually pretty funny (:

5) In your experience, what is the best place to find a quality girlfriend?

Day game. Two years ago I made a list of all my ex girl-friends, to look for patterns. All relationships with girls I had met in night game were chaotic, to say the least. Some of the most wonderful girls I’ve dated, I met in day game. Other great PUAs I’ve talked to about this topic confirm this experience.

6) What are some ways to enlarge your social circle?

You really only need one friend… he can introduce you to 5 people, who introduce you to 5 more people each, and soon there is no stopping it. The only limit on the size of your social circle should be the free time at hand. And once you have more friends than time to spend with, you can start to be more picky.

7) What was your life like when you weren’t good with women? What is it like now?

I already had a few little “girl-friends” in primary school that I snuck in the bathroom with to kiss, but around age 8 I got into the wrong peer group and ended up being mostly AFC until I was 19. From 19 – 21 I dated one of the prettiest girls from my year, which didn’t really help my social life much at all because the popular guy was in love with her and so all his peer group hated on me. Now? I’m now at a point where, because of my travels, I often have to start a life in a new city where I don’t know anybody – but I know that within a week or two I will have a beautiful girl-friend and a cool social circle.

What is one of your favorite techniques/tactics?

I’ll share a technique here that I came up with years ago when I was reverse engineering the secret to charisma. It is to treat everybody like they were your best friend from high school that you haven’t seen in ages. Not just any friend… your BEST friend. Really imagine you’re not talking to some dude you just met or to some girl with a bitch shield – imagine you’re talking to that one friend from high school that you had all these inside jokes with.

9) Do you use props? If so, what gets the most reactions?

Well, sometimes. I wouldn’t recommend to be dependant on props, but one thing I did for a while was to show girls some pics on my digital camera. You can obviously choose interesting pictures that make you look good, pictures of yourself being social, travelling, doing sports, being on stage, etc. But the one that always got the best reaction was a picture of a cat with two different eyes – a green one and a blue one. The girl would call her friends over and be like “oh my God, look at this cat! That is amazing”. By the time her friends looked at the cam, I’d already flipped to the next picture – a picture of a perfectly normal cat – and show it to her friends. They’d all look at her like “What’s wrong with you? That’s just a normal cat”. Haha. Good times.

10) What is your biggest sticking point?

State dependence. When I’m in state, I’m a rock star. When I’m not, I have AA… even after 7 years of cold approaching.

11) What pick up artist has inspired you the most? What did you learn from them?

There are four I’d mention. David D is great for inner game, Mystery for outer. David Shade is the man when it comes to sexual mastery, and Captain Jack when it comes to Framing.

12) Describe the moment when your realized you need to work on this part of your life.

When I was 16, the music teacher I mentioned above told me that he used to be shy as a kid. I didn’t believe him… he was the most charismatic and social person I ever met, always the center of attention and flirting with beautiful women. But it showed me that these social skills are something that can be learned and practiced… and so I wanted to improve. Now, 12 years later, I’m the one who tells people that I was shy as a teenager – and they don’t believe me.

13) What advice do you give to newbies starting out?

It depends a lot on where they’re at and where they wanna go. But if somebody is not getting results with women, I warn them to stay away from “natural game” products. If being yourself hasn’t helped you so far, it won’t help you in the future just because you watched a DVD. In fact the schools that teach natural game are usually the ones that have forums almost void of lay-reports.

14) In your experience, what is the biggest issue for guys getting attraction from women?

Fear. Fear of approaching, and fear of taking things to a romantic / physical level. Fear of saying something wrong and thus staying on safe, polite conversation. What helped me over this was to tell myself: “She is not my dream girl… she is not the perfect 10 that I will marry some day in the future… so this interaction doesn’t matter… at all.” Outcome independence, if you will.

15) What are your goals for the community? Your life?

Truth be told, I have achieved all the goals I set for myself in this area of my life… be it dating several dancers and models at the same time, or falling in love with one 10 and building an amazing, deep, exclusive relationship. So at the moment I’m enjoying the ride… but since I constantly work on my skills, the goal is mastery. You can always get better – there is no ceiling.

Specialized Questions

1) Why did you choose to come to South America?

I fell in love with this continent when I was a child, maybe 8 years old… we have family friends from there, and whenever they were around, I’d run up to them and go: “Cecilia, tell me about South America!” (: I was fascinated by her stories about the country… eternal summer, salsa music, perpetual smiles and beautiful people, great food and a cocktail under palm trees.

2) What’s the difference between sarging in North America and South America?

The three main differences, in my experience, are:
1.) Latinas don’t usually have bitch shields – they will be polite even if they’re not interested
2.) Latinas don’t cock block. If a girl sees that her friend likes you, she will usually help her get laid rather than sabotage it.
3.) Many Latinas are very catholic and conservative. They’re more flirtatious than Western girls and may even kiss you faster, but wait longer before they go all the way with a guy.

3) Can you relate a success story about one of your clients?

In 2008, I was teaching a lot of guys about relationship mastery, and I received great feedback from all my students. One of them was totally in love with a girl, but he didn’t know what to do about it and how to communicate with her… she obviously walked all over him. I coached him through the issues and I regularly get emails from him about how happy he is with the relationship now… it’s very satisfying for a teacher to see that.

4) Why did you choose the name Karea?

LOL. I had a different handle before, until a chick hacked into my email. Heaven hath no rage, nor hell a fury… The good side is, this made for a funny stalker story that I now tell in set sometimes.

5) What are your fundamental teachings?

There’s a lot… But one fundamental thing is definitely charisma – despite what I said about stack work above, I think it’s far more important to develop personal magnetism than it is to do body rocking or time constraints or negs or BHRR.

6) How do you differ from other dating coaches?

Much like Brad P, I figured a lot of stuff out before the community. So I know both perspectives – natural game and learned game – and how to integrate them with each other.

7) Your known as a “moral PUA” in the community. How do you respond to that?

Haha… yeah, I had a bunch of discussions with other famous PUA about this topic. I believe in pickup with harm to noone. I think it’s neither good nor necessary to destroy other people’s relationships, to cheat on your girl-friend or to lead girls on about your motives. If you truly have an abundance mindset, you will surely be able to find girls who are single, and be honest about it if you’re not ready to commit. Hey, I’m not pointing fingers here… I made mistakes in the past myself. But I experienced that there are ways to play this game win – win.

Tell me about your products.

I used to teach a Relationship Mastery Seminar with a major pickup company last year, and I’m also working on a product about Relationship Mastery myself, but it will be a few months at least before I’m ready to publish that. I also wrote some chapters for the number one Mexican pickup book, and for a book that will soon be published by LoveSystems (former Mystery Method) – about very fast lays in day game (within 15 minutes to 1 hour from meeting a girl).

Currently, I only do private consultations (over the phone or in person) about both those topics – pickup and relationships. So if you’re interested in talking to me and unfuck some sticking points, or simply to take your game to the next level, get in touch through the blog and we’ll have a chat. (:

My best to you all,

-Karea.

So you took 3 years of Spanish in school, come to South America and realize that everything you learned if useless…actually…who am I kidding? You’ve kept meaning to crack open that Spanish book or watch those lessons but CSI:Anchorage, Alaska is on! And now you’re in South America and the most you can do is say a few curse words and “No comprede Espanol.” How are you ever going to meet girls? Fear not Puta! I’m going to show you!

I’ve spent the last 5 months in South America and not being able to communicate sucks. I can use non verbals and body language to get the chick laughing but anything else is painful. If you know how to constantly close girls who don’t speak the same language (without paying) then please write an eBook. I’ll PayPal you the cash right now.

These are the best places to find English speakers:

More educated areas:

Be sure to sarge richer areas and around colleges. Richer people tend to be more educated thus more likely to speak English. Colleges are your best bet to find people who speak English. Remember to speak slowly and clearly. These guys may be self conscious about speaking English.

Also, be sure to bring a cheat sheet with you. Have English sentences written down with their Spanish translation. That may the conversation can go on and you guys can stare at the paper if things start getting uncomfortable.

Hostels:

Hostels are great places to meet people in general. You got travelers like yourself from all around the world. The only problem is that sometimes you won’t find locals (“If I wanted to fuck Americans, then I would have stayed in America!”). Find a hostel that’s located near a bar. Chances are the bar has tons of foreigners and local girls looking to hook up with a gringo.

And that’s about it. By far the best place to find English speakers is the Internet! This can take a lot of work and I recommend bugging LatinStylez to finally write about his online method. Or get David M’s Inside Internet Dating for help.

Here’s a list of sites you can try.

Dating Sites:

There’s a million and one dating sites. I looked into the free ones. The problem with most of these dating sites is that you won’t find too many people on them. They’re mostly geared towards people in the US.

OkCupid

PlentyofFish

Parperfeito – This is a South America dating site with a focus on Brazil.

Social Networks:

Hi5 – It seems like people in Argentina and Peru tend to use this place more.

Facebook – Be careful with Facebook. While you can be in two different networks, you can only switch networks twice every 60 days. Search for your city name and join the group. Then you can mass text message girls.

Orkut – Instead of facebook, most people in Brazil use Orkut.

Couchsurfing – Not only can Couch Surfing save you money on hostels but it’s a great place to meet people. Do a search for girls who want to meet up for coffee. However, you may not want to approach couch surfing like traditional internet dating. If you make any mistakes then people can leave you shitty feedback. Instead look to any social events that Couch Surfers in your area are throwing and sarge there.

Language Exchange:

“Where are you going?”

“I’m going to do language exchange with a college girl.”

“Does language exchange mean she’s going to suck your dick?”

This was an exchange I got into with a female friend of mine. And it’s basically true in a lot of countries I been too. I had met a girl in Peru and her online profile said she was looking to meet English speakers. I met her, did my thing, and got a kiss close (No dick sucking though )

The problem with these sites is that often you can’t search by city.

My Happy Planet

Live Mocha

"Me Fail English? That's Unpossible."

Seriously Asshole (Ben Day Ho). Learn some Spanish. It’ll save you time and prevent headaches. You can even use the language exchange sites for legitimate purposes.I’m much more handsome, charming, and have a larger penis than LatinStylez, yet he closed more girls than me. Why? Cuz his ass speaks Spanish.

Use google, go to the library, anything!

Oh yeah. The top two places I found English speakers are:

1) Buenos Aires, Argentina

2) Florianopolis, Brasil

The cool thing about Florianopolis is that it’s a rich resort. Tons of people speak English so I haven’t had to deal with as many frustrations as I did with the rest of South America. Although I’ve been told that the girls here weren’t as friendly as other parts of Brasil. Not sure how true this is because damn near every set I’ve opened has been warm and friendly. If the girls are friendlier elsewhere then I imagine they’d take you in, feed you dinner, then blow you under the table (Hmm…I have heard of those places here.)

Anyhoot…

I was at the bus stop with my wing, Brasil Pirate, when I saw a petite, black chick with curly hair standing by herself. I asked her what time it was and she told me…in perfect English! “Oh! You speak English!” I said. She said you had spend time in the US and many other countries. I told her about my South American travels and joked about how I was surfing on the sidewalk because there’s been so much rain here lately. Then I asked her where she has traveled. America, Germany…and China! “Do you speak Chinese?” I inquired. Then I started speaking to her in Chinese. To my surprise she replied back and we had a full conversation in Chinese. Having commonalities like this is fucking killer.

Soon the bus same and we both got on. We stand up and continue our conversation. A good sign since there was an empty chair for her to sit next in. I told her it was cool if she said but she insisted on standing. I told her about how my love for foreign places started when I moved out of America when I was 12. She told me she was born in Brasil and left for Germany when she was three years old. After that she moved to China.

“I bet you’re going to meet a Brasilian guy and had 20 Brasilian children…all of whom will be boys. You’ll have your own Brasilian soccer team!” She laughed and said she rather move to China and meet a
Chinese guy. SCORE!

Then I ran the cube on her. She was really into it and closed her eyes to visualize. I got to the flowers when the bus got to my stop. “Damn, looks like I can’t finish the test.” Brasil chick looked really disappointed. That’s when Pirate informed me that we were getting off on another stop. Cool. False take away.

I finish the Cube and asked her if she really wants to know the results. She was practically begging me to know the meaning. I tell her, being sure to ask questions to draw out the conversation longer.  Then I number close and ask her where she’s staying. Same area as me. Logistics. Check. We end up getting off at the same stop.

As we were about to part, I could see her giving me the doggy dinner bowl eyes and she said she would call me.

The next night I give her a call. Turns out she lives about a 20 minute walk to me but agrees to walk to my location. I see her and immediately pick up her and spin her in circles then carried her across the street.  After I put her down, I run the trust test and say good when she follows my movements.

We sit at a park bench and I tell her about my family. She tells me a bit about her daughter. Now I know she fucks. I start to wonder how old she is and joke about how she’s probably only 16. Ahh, she’s 25. Then I bounce to a bar. Brasil girl is worried and says beer is expensive. Don’t worry babe, I’ll take care of it. At the bar my hero story comes out and I saw she was touched by it.

I find out she lives with her sister and brother in law. Big sister is pretty conservative and my girl has a curfew. Alright, gotta wrap this one up quick. I seed in taking a walk on the beach and we leave. As we walk she tells me how she plans to move out with a couple of gay guys. Perfect time to tell my non-judgmental story about stumbling into a gay bar (Why do all the guys have their shirts off?) and hooking two guys up.

She grabs my hand and I know it’s on. I stop, give her laser guys, pull her in and we kiss. I toss her off of me and say that’s enough. Then push her against a wall and make out some more. Just to be safe I run Strawberry Fields. Then seed in pictures at my place.

Pull her into the pad, show pictures, make out some more, and carry her into my bedroom.

#1 Lima, Peru

Larco Mar

I never expected too many things when we first got to Lima. I thought to myself it will probably not be that great and I didn’t expect to see too many hot women. Well, I was wrong! Lima, Peru has some of the hottest women I have seen in South America. I also found them to be very friendly. I never bounced so many sets until I came to Lima. The daygame there is really good at Parque Kennedy and the shopping mall near there. The nightlife in Miraflores has three different areas: Parque Kennedy area, Barranco’s it’s a bar street that has all different types of music, and Larco Mar- a bit more upper class, but has plenty of good looking women. If you are looking for a place to stay, there are plenty of hostels in the Parque Kennedy area (Flying Dog Backpackers). If you need something quieter, check out Inka Lounge

The food in Lima is pretty good, but I did get sick and caught traveler’s diarrhea from eating the ceviche. Be careful and make sure the food you eat is properly cooked. Remember to go to Lima during their summer. It is sunny almost every single day and when it is not summer a coastal fog blankets the city   Limeños go in full force to the beaches over the summer. For info on gaming the women there, check out my FR’s.

# 2 Buenos Aires, Argentina

Tango Dancing

Buenos Aires, Argentina is one of the largest cities in South America. I had alot of expectations before heading there, but the city impressed me. What really did it was the nightlife. I remember going out my first night there around 12AM thinking it was kind of late and wondering why there wasn’t a big line of people at the venue. I later found out it’s because  porteños don’t like to hit the clubs till after 2AM. The club got packed after 2 and I was out till 8AM the next morning. That was some true partying there. The women are good looking. Most of South America you run into the tan latina type, but in Buenos Aires it has more of a European influence and a lot of the girls are more light skinned. It’s different, but different in a good way.

The city is so large that there are so many different night spots for whatever type of music you like. There are plenty of places to stay in Buenos Aires. We met a lot of backpackers who were staying at Millhouse Hostel. We heard it is a pretty crazy hostel as far as having parties. If you want something quieter, check out Vanilla House. It is listed as Chill House on the Lonely Planet. It is close to Plaza Serrano which is good on the weekends- lots of bars and restaurants.

The food in Buenos Aires is superb. You can tell the Italian influence in Argentina by its food. Delicious pizza and pasta dishes are common. There are plenty of restaurants in Plaza Serrano and downtown. Palermo Viejo has its own share of food places as well. For more info on BA, check out this article.

# 3 Medellin, Colombia

Many of you may be wondering why I didn’t put Medellin, Colombia as my number one destination. The women in Medellin were some of the hottest I have seen in South America, but the city itself was rather boring. There were times I would go out during the week and there would be nothing to do. The nightlife is concentrated in one small area called Parque Lleras. For more info on the nightlife, check out this article.

Now, back to the good stuff. Medellin is regarded as one of the safest cities in Latin America. The mayor has taken great steps to enforce the law and improve on the city safety. Even the subway system is well protected, and also clean. While you are there, make sure to try the Bandeja Paisa. Typically, bandeja paisa includes grilled steak (either ground or whole), chicharrón (fried pork rind), red beans, rice, chorizo, a fried egg, and an arepa. It is usually accompanied by sweet fried plantains and a slice of avocado.

For places to stay, check out Tiger Paw Hostel. I also heard that the Pitstop is a fun party hostel. I ended up staying in Medellin a month so I got a good deal on a monthly rental.

Artist responds “LatinStylez, firstly you’re obviously a cool guy with considerable experience under your belt.

Anyway.. Good work! Your persistance is admirable.

I have some general questions for you and anyone else who has experience with Latinas / South American girls:

What would you say are the
- Most important things to bear in mind when sarging Latinas vs Korean and Western girls?
- Key points of difference in typical personality traits, social conditioning, and lifestyle of Latinas vs Korean and Western girls?

The context of this is sarging Latinas in a major city in a Western country.

Look forward to your reply  ”

I respond back to him

Hey Artist. Thanks for the compliments they are much appreciated This is going to be a pretty long post as I try to decipher this. Bear in mind, I am still learning more each day about the Latinas in South America and haven’t even covered Argentina yet (which I here has a vastly different style of game than the rest of South America.) I am going to break this down in a South Korea and South America fashion (Countries I have been to). If I include Western countries like the US, I will be typing this for ages.

You know when I first came down here to South America I noticed some of the things that I was doing in Korea weren’t working as much. For example, in Korea I would move pretty quick with the sarge, but I find myself having to keep at a much higher pace down here. I had to readjust my game like to call out flakes more in Colombia. I would hit it off with a girl on the street then later text her and no response. It hurt, but they were growing pains.

Machismo Culture

There is much more competition with the guys as well. Most parts of South America tend to be machismo. This doesn’t necessarily mean you will get guys running into your sets- they may look like anywhere else. This can mean that when you are not around that another guy could very well be gaming her. Peru not as much as Colombia. The Colombian guys seemed to be doing well with their women. Whereas in Korea, the men are not as socially groomed to approach random girls. Here, one of the first questions you get are “What did you think of the Colombian girls?” So, it is a difference in culture on this part where talking to random people in South America is ok. In Colombia, most girls expect the guys to pay the bill (not all though.) Bolo actually had a set walk out because he wanted to split the bill and I had a girl argue with me over it. Generally, most Day 2′s I went on I was expected to pay the bill.

In South Korea, I had girls pay for our dates on several occasions. The girls down here might make it up to you by cooking you dinner or something.

Dance in South America

Dance is a very important part of the South American culture. You will always here people listening to music and going out to the discotecas with their friends as well. You can run dancefloor game here whereas in Korea I don’t recommend it as much. The Latinas are very expressive with their bodies and hand gestures. Don’t be surprised if you are in a set and she is moving her hand in other directions.

I know Korean girls dance too, but here it is more common to grab a girl and dance to some salsa. You can actually do this then once the song is finished sit down with them and run regular game.

Like Korea Most girls live with their family

You know in the West most girls are on their own. Well, in South America and Korea, you have to be ready for the fact that most girls live with their parents. The housing prices out here are expensive for families to afford and the pay isn’t as good as Korea or the West. This doesn’t mean your lost though set it up to meet her in your area

Religion

Religion is a pretty important part of South America. In pretty much every country I have traveled to you can see a church in a neighborhood. Sundays are virtually dead with most people going to church and spending time with their families. The church is a very important aspect of the culture down here.

Family is an important part of the culture so don’t be surprised if the girls tell their mom’s about you or want you to meet their family. I have had this happen to a few friends where the girl invited him over to meet her parent’s.

Text Game

Then there are other things I have noticed like the girls in Peru ARE WAY MORE RESPONSIVE VIA TEXT than Colombian girls. With the girls in Colombia, I had quite a few girls unresponsive to text messages.Korean girls are super responsive to text. On very many occasions, I would have them text me withing 10 minutes of our date.

Sexual vibe

I would say the girls here definitely give off a sexual vibe in their appearances and style of dress. The girls dress less conservative out here than in South Korea.  This doesn’t necessarily mean sex is openly discussed, but you will see something different than Korea- makeouts. You see make outs on the street in Colombia daily and I heard it is even worse in Argentina. In Korea, it is unlikely to see this happening because of the culture. I remember being surprised when I did see this happen…

If you have any specific questions be sure to throw them at me. This is a pretty general gist and I know so much more can be covered! This will also be a new post on my blog so thanks!!

Artist Responds

Great post!  It is much appreciated – the more detail the better.  You also have a good writing style which makes it a pleasure to read.

As you have experience with Asians, Westerners AND Latinas, I’m sure you have some keen insights into the key differences between these girls – insights which the “typical PUA” would not have.

I have a lot of questions – a few of them are below:

For example, in Korea I would move pretty quick with the sarge, but I find myself having to keep at a much higher pace down here.

How would you compare the rate of general acceptable escalation of Latinas with Westerners?

Most parts of South America tend to be machismo. This doesn’t necessarily mean you will get guys running into your sets- they may look like anywhere else. This can mean that when you are not around that another guy could very well be gaming her

(Answer will be compared to the States) I would say that it is pretty similar. For example, down here you will get girls grabbing your arms a lot and giving you more reverse kino from the start. I feel in the States that it is considerably the same with the kino. One difference, is the kiss on the cheek. In Latin countries, people greet each other with a kiss on the cheek. In the States, this doesn’t happen. When I was back for that week, I experimented with it and got good acceptance with it. If they asked why I was kissing them on the cheek, I would explain that I am Latino and that is how we greet each other. It was cool after that, generally they don’t say anything. If you ever make it down to Miami, people do greet each other with a kiss…

You know in Korea I would sometimes have guys come into the set and I would just run AMOG game on them and knock em out of the set. With the Latino guys, they have stayed out of my way (Heard in Argentina the guys approach girls like flocks, but they don’t try to get in your sets as much- we will see.) One thing, if the girls are in mixed sets which is common in Colombia, I show the guys respect in the set. They have never come at me the wrong way.

Peru-

I  have been here less than a week so I will give you my general comments. I have had a lot of the sets go well and have been able to insta bounce as well (two sets so far from day game.) The girls are really receptive to the kino and the PUA material. There is a good girl ratio and lots of good bounce locations for Day 2′s just had an insta date from a girl I met a shopping center today. Text game works well like I mentioned before. I’m sure working your social circle game with other Peruvian guys and girls would help out your game as well. All of the PUA games and tactics work the same, too. For example, strawberry fields sexualizing things and the questions game creates more comfort within the two of you.

Colombia-

Colombia has got to be one of the most interesting places I have gamed. I never in my life have seen such beautiful women. It’s just great sarging them. Then there’s the things that come along with it. I had another PUA friend hit the night venues in Medellin and would have tons of girls give him his number, but then he had a ton of flakes. The same thing was happening to me in Medellin until we started doing some day game. I was also newer to South America and my Spanish was improving so it would be interested to go back later and see how I do. The internet game worked well there, too. Kino is the same as Peru the girls are expressive and give you kino back and kiss you on the cheek to say hello. I have been running street game here in Peru with no problem, but on occasions in Colombia I would have girls get scared, because they thought I was another bum on the street. I wasn’t dressed as one, but that is just the stigma there with people from the street. The best thing to do to inoculate for this once in the set is to introduce yourself as someone who is visiting or be creative with it… Once I got to Bogota, my game got better adjusted and I got into a social circle. Social circle game in Colombia is also very powerful!

Brazil-

Can’t tell you much as I have not been there. From what I hear, the girls are very SEXUAL and sex just doesn’t seem to be a serious issue to Brazilian girls. This is what I heard from many others. They speak Portuguese there so the language barrier could be an issue for some people.

Argentina (Buenos Aires)

Argentina has the highest rate of plastic surgery in the world and it’s not a wonder many girls suffer from the “hysterica syndrome” which means yes-but no-but yes-but no-but yes-but no- goes way beyond flakiness. This is what I have heard here including the fact that you will make out with girls at bars and clubs and they will tell you they wanna meet then dissapear off the face of the earth. A friend who is a good PUA told me down there in Buenos Aires he had to calibrate his game specifically for hystericas and also the cocky funny and ftc methods didn’t work down there. He mentioned that when he was there girls would open and hook easily, but then he later realized that the girls there are just friendly. Boy, am I interested in gaming down there in Buenos Aires to experience all this and figure out some ways to push thru it. I am headed down there next. Cordoba is the next largest city and from what I hear the hysterica craze is not as crazy over there.

Quote from: Artist on March 17, 2009, 09:19:32 PM

I am still looking into this. There are a few active guys in Medellin none that I encountered in other parts of Colombia. The guys who were there moved on to other countries. Argentina has an active community and I believe there might be other countries as well. I am going to look into it and get back to you

Artist responds.

Fascinating post!  Much appreciated.

Here comes the question people have been wondering. Should you speak Spanish in South America? I’m going to be blunt here and tell you yes.  First, I haven’t met many girls here in Medellin who have spoken English. The whole time I have been running everything in Spanish. And actually, when some of the girls I have sarged write in English I just want to tell them to stop. Literally, I couldn’t read her sentences I just switched back to Spanish. This mainly focuses on Colombia and Venezuela for knowing Spanish. I talked to a guy in Brazil and in Argentina and it is toss ups there for knowing English. It’s interesting because you take a country like South Korea which Korean is so vastly different from English and they can comprehend English pretty well.

What are the benefits of running your sets in Spanish? You won’t sit there looking at each other just smiling, you won’t have to ask your Latino American friend to translate every time for you (me),  and you won’t have trouble escalating because you know your routines in Spanish and there’s no need to hesitate.

But, what if I have a bad Spanish accent or I mix up words? Not a big deal trust me. The people here are always willing to help someone out with their Spanish. Then, you have to ask yourself do you want the quality girls? Well, I’m telling you this that the quality girls probably don’t know any English. I mean why would they? They don’t have a reason to all the Latin guys are taking good care of them.

Latin, I don’t know any Spanish should I still come to South America? Sure, come down to South America. I highly recommend going to a Spanish school and dedicating yourself to learn the language. If you don’t want to go to a school, then check out exchanges. Basically, you teach them English and they teach you Spanish. The key here though is to make an effort to learn the language.

Let’s say in countries like Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile have some people who can speak English- there still will be people who do not speak English including HB’s. I mean why bother speaking English with them when you can work on your Spanish skills. You will be speaking to them in their native tongue which I’m sure they will enjoy more, and let’s be real Spanish is a romantic language
