hey, i just graduated from college and was planning on going to central or south america to learn spanish for a year. I’m really drawn to buenos aires for the girls, but i’ve heard that colombian girls are pretty too. can you tell if a certain pu approach worked better in argentina than in colombia?

Hey. I’d say between the two the Colombian girls are more exotic than the Buenos Aires girls, but BA has a better nightlife. Also, the Spanish in Colombia is a bit easier to understand. Have you looked into Peru? The girls there aren’t bad either.

.
Are you more about the nightlife or the women? If you are just looking for hot exotic women, then check out Colombia or Lima, Peru. But, if you like nightlife and pretty cute girls, then check out BA.

No problem if you have anymore questions let me know. You won’t be dissapointed in Lima.

#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.

Obelisco in Buenos, Aires

I only had one week in Buenos Aires, so this could contain more edits in the future when I come back to BA. Others who have traveled here share your comments with us!! Also expats who live in BA it would be great if you could send us more info on BA.

Buenos Aires is a city I have always wanted to visit since my high school days. With so many expecations, would the city live up to the hype I had for it?  The answer is a simple yes.  As soon as we got into Buenos Aires, the European style architecture, and the cities personality sticks out at you. It makes you want to explore more of the city.

Dangers:

From what I experienced, BA was relatively safe. Still, you have to exercise caution when you are traveling. Remember not to carry flashy jewelery, lots of cash, and always use common sense. BEWARE: counterfeit bills lurk around. I was handed one without even realizing it. When you are in a taxi, make sure to look over the bills. The shady neighborhoods are: Constitution Estacion, the eastern border of San Telmo and La Boca.

Sights:

The main part of Buenos Aires is the microcentero. It has many of the city’s museums and historical buildings. Be sure to check out Av Florida, Obelisco, Plaza de Mayo, and Puerto Madero.

Sleeping:

We ended up staying at a hostel by the name of the Vanilla House. I highly recommend it and they have deals on long term stays. It is listed as Chill House on the Lonely Planet it changed ownership a few months back.The people who run it are very cool and it is pretty close to Plaza Serrano- where a lot of bars and restaurants are located.

There are also other hostels in Palermo Viejo and the city center. I met a few traveler’s staying at Millhouse downtown. Be warned it is a party hostel. So, if that’s your thing check it out!

Eating:

Buenos Aires is famous for its food. You can tell the Italian influence in the cuisine- pizzas and pastas. In Palermo Viejo, where we stayed,  there are plenty of restaurants. There is also one that if you order from there you get a 10% off discount for staying at Vanilla House and it is very close. Plaza Serrano is loaded with restaurants and bars be sure to check it out.

Entertainment:

Buenos Aires is known for its nightlife and I was very impressed. The nightlife was very reminiscent of Miami- known for many different types of clubs and bars and open very late. People here don’t even go out till after 2AM. I learned that after going to a club early my first night out. I only got to experience a few days of the nightlife. The first club we checked out was on a Tuesday and it was called Le Cigale a lounge bar down town known for its Tuesday night. The night we went was on a holiday, but there were a few people there. The next venue we went to that night was Bahrein also known for its Tuesday and “Heavy Drum n Bass.” It was a great venue and a good crowd- I went the next Tuesday and it wasn’t that great, though.

The next night we went to Asia de Cuba in Puerto Madero. Well, they had a private party and we knew no one inside so we couldn’t get in. It sucked, but I’m sure it is a good venue. I’ll have to go one night when I come back to BA to check it out. The next night we went to Liquid with some girls we knew from the hostel. This was also a good venue with a mix of music and close to the hostel. The following night we went to Uruguay so we missed the weekend which I am sure BA has plenty of good weekend venues. Also check out Plaza Serrano on the weekends we heard it was good. There are plenty of bars in the area. Those who have been to BA and know of some more venues please share them with us.

Bus:

BA has an extensive bus network. The bus terminal is called Retiro and is three stories and has plenty of buses. Inside there are also cafeterias, shops, and bathrooms. Make sure to buy your ticket in advance.

Airport:

We came into BA from the Airport. The name is Ezieza International Airport. To get through immigration was very quick. Remember to save money  take the bus from the airport into the city. If you take a taxi, you will be spending a lot of money.

Girls:

I found the girls in BA to be very attractive. They are also known as porteñas and hystericas. Hystericas is a term that Lumiere had told me about and I heard from others in reference to girls from Buenos Aires. It basically means yes-but-no-but-yes-but-no it goes beyond flakiness. Remember that Argentina also has the highest rate of plastic surgery and psychoanalysis in the world. But, I was only here for a week and I found the girls to be very friendly. While other travelers told me they had high shields, I did not think that. Maybe that’s because I’m a PUA.

What was up with all the girl smoker’s in BA? And a lot of chicks with piercings, tats, and not painting nails?

Overall City Rank: A

I gave Buenos Aires, Argentina an A in my city rank scale. It offers a great nightlife,cute girls,and good food. On the downside, it was a bit more expensive than the other countries and had more tourists- especially Americans.  I like Americans, but when I’m traveling not so much.  I like to meet the local people when I go out to the bars and clubs. Maybe I was going to the touristy venues? Another thing, if you party all night, you end up waking up at 5 the next day feeling like crap.

If anyone has any suggestions on where the local Argentenian hangouts are in BA, let me know.

Come try out Buenos Aires…You won’t be dissapointed.

Listened to some Daft Punk to get me in sync. Heard so many things about BA so many expectations. Like it is one of the top cities for nightlife in the world, the city that never sleeps, beautiful women, etc. When you want to visit a place for so many years, total 4, then you will have high expectations of it. Will the Buenos Aires live up to the hype for Latinstylez?

After listening to some Daft Punk Aerodynamic, I’m ready to go. Got a club suggestion from a friend in Buenos Aires. The name of it is Le Cigale. It is an trendy lounge in downtown BA. We get dropped off and the bouncer greets Bolo and I. He’s a really nice guy and we talked to him for a bit to get ourselves in the mood.

Once inside the venue, all the sets are seated. I heard that it was like that in Buenos Aires so I have to adjust to it. I hang around the bar area for a bit getting myself in the mood. Have a drink eye the venue some more, but not really any good sets. After some time, I open a 4 set sitting down… But, the chick is American. She’s cute, but I came here to sarge Argentinean girls. Oh well. I stay in set… Ran some cold reads, escalated a bit… She was with her friends cuz one was leaving so I told her we’d talk later and number closed.

The venue wasn’t picking up much due to a holiday. Damn bad timing. The bouncer gives us a recommendation. A club called Bahrein famous for it’s Tuesday night and the heavy “Drum n Bass.” He said it was good and if anyone was going to be there it would be at that venue. We get outside the venue and another American guy starts talking to us. He ended up being cool and we talked for a bit about Buenos Aires. We went inside the venue and look around. It’s about 12AM or so and there is literally not many ppl there.

We grab the free drink card and walk around the venue. I see a two set and go in with the Drunk I love you opener. Didn’t go as well as I planned- could have stacked more- but I decided to eject the set.

We were about to leave and i am glad we didn’t. We talked to some people around the venue and found out that the people in BA go out VERY late. Like 2 am. So we should hang around for a bit longer. As we are talking a cute blonde walks past me. She is from Germany. “Where are all the Argentinian girls at?” I ask myself.

Finally, that question got answered. The time is around 2AM and the club fills up. By that time, Bolo was getting opened and vibing with the people in the bar. I see a two set seated. I opened the obstacle about her hat then she immediately complimented my hat.

With the target to my right, I open her and from there I was able to lock into the set. I called Bolo in and he ran the friend. This set went really well considering the time I stayed in it. I ran cold reads, made sure to sexualize, seeded in another time to meet. But, when I went for the k-close she mentioned her “boyfriend.” Obviously, not a big deal for my skill level. Continued leading into more stories and spiking her bt. Good kino compliance other than not being able to kiss on the lips…

We bounced to the dacefloor which was SUPER PACKED! Let’s just say I was very impressed with the nightlife in BA. Packed club at 4AM awesome to me… We dance around to some electro music and enjoy it. Ok, I needed a break from the set so I eject for a bit…

Went around the venue and talked to some more people including a solid 4 set of a  British girls, and an Aussie. One of them tried to be funny and make a joke about the hat I was wearing… I neged her a bit… I saw my previous target looking in my direction…

Went back to that set later ended up bouncing them out and headed to a food place…They followed our lead and we went near a river area called Puerto Madero- looking for a restaurant. I know it was her trying to be romantic with me on why she took me there in the first place… Haha jk…

Again, I tried to k close there when we were looking at the coast and was denied. Kept going with what compliance I had- hand holding, arm in arm…

After that, we went to a food place with them and I had already seeded a day 2 for Friday… End of night 7 AM… DAMN the people stay out late here!!!!

Impressions:

Buenos Aires has lived up to the hype for me- I enjoyed the nightlife
I enjoyed it so much I slept in until 6PM. What a waste of a day I know…

Stay continued as LatinStylez learns more about the electrifying nightlife of Buenos Aires. Will he be able to overcome the challenges ahead with the “hysterica” Argentine girls? Stay tuned to find out…
