bringing back and old thread here. I am likely to be in Belarus at the back end of this month...Gomel to be precise.....anybody got any experience(s) to share on Belarus / Gomel please? many of the main posters to this thread are now banned.
Ps - Before anybody asks...yes I do speak Russian, not fluent...but certainly conversational / advanced level.
I was in Minsk last May, took advantage of the visa free regime while the world cup in hockey took place.
I also speak Russian although i am not native but Slavic background, so it did help me a bit as English is less spread then probably anywhere else in Europe.
This is one of the rare countries left in Europe where a westerner has a cool factor, if you are a 7 in your home country you would be a 8 or a 9 there just because you look and dress differently. Everywhere you go, girls will give you a lot of eye contact, sometimes stares, but in a good way. It does stroke the ego, at least it was for me.
Also it is one of the most ethnically pure countries i've seen in Europe, hardly any immigrants, even the natives look very alike, you will rarely see someone with really dark features or dark eyes, unless is foreign.
First tip is don't try the cocky/funny type of game, no negging or similar mind games, i don't think they grasp the western sarcasm or humor that well.
Best approach is be friendly, ask a lot of questions, maybe like directions or whatever comes to mind about their culture, cuisine etc. This will help break the ice as these girls are a bit shy and not as extrovert at first like the anglosaxon girls for example. I am talking daygame obviously, night game is different tactic, probably closer to western standards. People do like to drink so they are less shy at night.
Once you break the ice, it's much easier, offer a drink, dinner and so on, and you have a good chance of landing some hot Belarussian ass!
They are gorgeous on average, a bit understated in dress compared to Ukrainians, i would say a bit blonder and taller on average too, which is not a bad thing .
Unfortunately i only stayed in Minsk, but i am sure it will be much easier to achieve more in the smaller towns, let us know how it went.
I wouldn't mind going there few more times, although i would rather have a wingman or two to join me.
