Reflections: Buenos Aires and Argentina
This post has two purposes: 1) advice to anybody who has been/is going to go/or is thinking about going to Buenos Aires or Argentina, and 2) to present some perspective on how typical PUA game works (or doesn’t work) in a completely different culture, place and language.
Believe it or not, PUA game isn’t universal. It’s based heavily on the English speaking world: US, UK and Australia. It was invented by this part of the world, based on the women in this part of the world… and unfortunately, straying too far out of it leaves you screwed pretty quickly. But this is good, it’s always good to be exposed to as many pick up situations and cultures as possible… the idea is that it will make you as good as possible overall.
Argentinian women are a full step up from those in the US in terms of looks. They tend to be very skinny and often have much bigger tits than would seem normal for women that thin. Height can be an issue, as can the faces… but all in all, the average Argentinian girl is a full point higher than the average American in my opinion.
This is probably all the motivation you need to become interested in going and partying there. But throw on top the fact that cost of living is maybe 1/3 of what it is back home, and the fact that the nightlife regularly goes until 5-6AM every night, and you have a recipe for pick up heaven, right? Especially if you know Spanish… right?
Eh… it’s a bit more complicated. I’ll be honest to a fault here: Buenos Aires kicked my ass. For the amount of time, effort and energy I put into picking up girls down here, my results probably would have been triple in the States. That’s not an exaggeration: 22-23 nights in the last month, all of which lasted 6-8 hours.
Unfortunately, from a pick up perspective, BA is not all that it’s cracked up to be… Continue…
