If you read what Roosh has had to say about Icelandic girls being boring, it's true. There is an exchange student at my high school from iceland, and it's impossible to get an interesting response unless she's intoxicated (good thing she is easy/likes to get drunk). But she is attractive, and it has not been too difficult to get the sexuality going

I did a summer exchange to Iceland when I was 17 and then went back the next summer to work at a summer camp. I'm 42 now, so this was quite a while ago but from everything I've seen and read things haven't changed much. I was a tall, good looking kid and on Friday and Saturday night it was incredibly easy to get with super hot, drunk girls. I would just go out with my friends, share a bottle of vodka mixed with soda pop and inevitably a viking princess would approach me.

I was a "good catholic" at the time so didn't have sex (worst decisions ever) but dam I fooled around with a lot of ubber hot chicks in a very short period of time. In my first summer there (6 weeks) I was easily over 20 and it seems like almost all of them were at least 8s. One night during the second summer I hooked up with a 10 and the next day one of my buddies showed me a picture of her on the front cover of a magazine.

I have been back a couple of times more recently so am pretty confident in the following advise...

Dress Super Sharp and don't be afraid to buy some clothes while there so you fit in fashion wise. Icelanders like foreigners but don't always like how we dress, especially the way Americans dress.

Anglo night game might not work in Iceland; so instead I would suggest to drink till buzzed (not drunk), look the best you can, act really confident, relax and have a really good time. This should get you approached by drunk, horny women. You might try approaching, but the way I remember, my approaches only worked if I had gotten an IOI first.

Also, Icelandic men are usually super cool but there are some super sinister types around who seem to channel viking energy and live to fight. I got jumped a couple of times on my drunken escapades. Nothing terrible but it was a bit unsettling.

Bumped thread started by Roissy (aka, Heartiste). Cool.

I was in Iceland for the past 8 days. Mostly on an adventure trip with girlfriend, but also got the chance to go out in Reykjavik on Saturday night as I was meeting a local Icelandic friend I have there after a few years. (I first went to Iceland in 2014).

The nightlife scene on the weekend was great. In fact, I found it more lively in winter time than in summer when I was there ago about 4 years ago. Icelandic girls, however, has deteriorated in looks in my opinion. I saw a lot more girls with a few extra pounds, and neon-colored hair on Laveguar street's main spots, and no real stunners that would turn your head, but overall a really nice vibe. It was around 1AM and as we were a few beers deep, I was craving a cigarette. I went to the balcony to see if I can buy a single cigarette for 100 kroner...and this girl (I'd say 6.5 7/10 look) told me she'd give it to me for free. She then started talking and talking asking where I'm visiting from. I said, Canada. After about 5 minutes of talking, she said: "Well, I gave you a free cigarette, how about we go to the bar and you get me a drink?". I replied: "So this is how it works eh. Sorry to break it to you darling, I'm here with my girlfriend." She said: "So what? You can't buy me a drink?" I replied: "I don't think so." She then said: "And I thought Canadians are supposed to be nice. Like your prime minister JUSTIN. I love him." I laughed out loud saying: "O you do? Well, I don't like him one bit. You know who I like?" She asked: "Who?" I replied: "Donald J Trump".
Her face was hilarious after hearing it. All of a sudden she retracted and said: "Ah, I don't even want you to buy me a drink anymore. I'm sorry I gave you the cigarette." I laughed out loud: "I was never going to buy you the drink, and I offered to pay for the cig." and then I went back to our table, sitting with my gf and Icelandic friends.

Now about Iceland's nature. I spent 2 days in North West of the country in the Snaefllesnes peninsula, and 3 days on the east side. Despite short video of time to see things (maximum 5 hours daylight), I got to see a lot. Here are a very short sample of some of the photos I took. Some of those scenery, just being there, the astoundingly fresh air. Glacier hiking especially was an unforgettable experience.

I just got into downtown Reykjavik and I don't think it has been said in previous topics, but if any of you are from the US, UK or anywhere else where the outlets are different, don't forget to bring a converter or adapter for your electronic devices! If you do forget to bring one there's a hardware store downtown (Brynja at Laugavegur 29) that sells stuff at very reasonable prices.

I’m back in the US after spending three days in Iceland. Sadly, I didn't get a bang, but I did learn a lot about Reykjavik that has either been mentioned before or never mentioned at all. The city is not the same as it was in the days when Roosh, slubu, and others were there years ago.



To start off, Iceland is not a cheap country. Just about everything is expensive (think London or New York prices but a bit higher). Currently the USD/ISK rate is 102.48 and has been around that neighborhood for a while.


Housing

As has been said several times in the past, get something as close as possible to Austurstraeti, Bankastraeti or the western segment of Laugavegur (the part where most of the bars are). The heart of the city is very walkable and much of pulling girls in Iceland (tourists included) is about logistics. A good place will probably run you at least 90 USD a night on the lower end. I searched on AirBnB initially but I didn't find anything suitable so I used another website and found a great spot for about 140 USD per night for Thursday-Saturday. If you'd like to know where I stayed, just shoot me a PM and I'll be happy to share it.

One other thing to keep in mind is that Iceland shares the same kind of electrical outlets for appliances used in many continental European countries, so if you're coming from a place where the outlets are different, be sure to get the appropriate adapter from your own country. If you do forget to bring one for the trip, you can buy one for about 1300 ISK from Brynja (Laugavegur 29), which is a hardware store in downtown Reykjavik. Don’t get anything at the airport, because you’ll be ripped off there. In fact, the only thing you should be getting at the airport is duty-free liquor for your pad.

Transportation

There are many flights to Iceland from Europe, the US and Canada. WOW Air tends to be the cheapest carrier when it comes to just ticket prices but they charge you for literally everything else--picking a seat, meals, and baggage, etc. The baggage charges are of course the worst. Icelandair is the other company that has frequent flights to Iceland. More likely than not, you'll be using one of the two carriers mentioned above.

International flights will enter the country from Keflavik airport, which is about 45 minutes by vehicle outside of Reykjavik. There are a few bus companies that have coaches that go to the city center. I used Gray Line which is 3900 ISK round trip. Don't bother with a taxi, as it will run you at least 12000 ISK if I'm not mistaken. You can also rent a vehicle to get to Reykjavik although you'll have to be mindful about parking within the city since certain zones have meters which are active most hours of Monday-Saturday. A vehicle is a necessity if you want to explore outside of Reykjavik without some expensive tour. Rentals are actually very cheap with some searching online but fuel is not cheap in Iceland. As of this post, most fuel stations charge about 209 ISK per liter, or 8 USD per gallon as a reference for other Americans like myself. And of course, when you rent a vehicle, don't forget to pick an automatic one if you can't drive manual (aka stick shift).


Food

If you're on a special diet or really dedicated to eating healthy, Iceland is a bad place to be since just about everything is expensive and supermarket options aren’t always the best. For reference, I've listed the prices of some things I purchased during my trip.

Green tea: 535 ISK
Lower-end beer: 1290 ISK
12 large eggs: 999 ISK
Broccoli: 660 ISK
Monkfish skewer in a restaurant: 1890 ISK
Hot dog: 450 ISK


Yeah...I think you get the idea.

Safety

It's well-known that Iceland is one of the safest places in the world when it comes to crime. You won't have any issues aside from the usual drunk Icelanders on a weekend or the broken glass on the streets during said weekends.

Icelanders

Roosh says it best in Bang Iceland when he describes Icelanders as shy, boring and cold. This is what I found when I talked to most Icelanders. People aren't generally the most outgoing but they are polite (albeit sometimes stern) and will usually have some conversation with you. People respond to some basic humor and may ask where you're from but after that they will try to end the conversation rather quickly for the most part.

The girls vary from reasonably attractive to reasonably unattractive. Most girls are pale, have hair that’s either black or platinum blonde, and often use plenty of make-up. When girls go out, they tend to dress kind of sexy, even if packing some fat (and there are a good amount of girls that do). Apparently silicone lip injections are a popular thing according to an Icelandic guy I met. I believed him.

The guys here dress stylishly when out but don't ever approach. However, they don't really need to do so since they'll almost certainly run into someone they know (social circle effects). Iceland is much like a small village in that people tend to know one another and it's not too uncommon to see the same person at the same spots. This environment makes last-call game the most effective but it seemed tougher than what has been described on the forum and elsewhere. People really stick together when out and will even end a conversation with you to talk to someone they might marginally know.

Tourism

It's no secret that tourism has been on the rise in Iceland for the past 5-10 years. It is a major industry in the country and for good reason--the island has some amazing natural wonders. This, however, has made Icelanders rather wary of foreigners and a bit tougher to game as a result. Even now in the winter, there were plenty of people walking about the main city center each day I was there.

The tourists include young people, families, and the elderly and the biggest numbers of them are from the UK. There is, however, also a very significant number of American tourists in the country. Anybody else is from somewhere in Europe, Canada, and maybe the occasional east Asian from China or Korea.

As I'll mention in more detail below, there are enough tourists going out at night to make gaming them a viable option in addition to trying to get an Icelandic flag.

Online Game

Online game is not worth it in Iceland. An Icelandic dude I had been talking to basically said that apps such as Tinder are considered strange and girls typically use them for validation more than anything else. My experiences confirmed his thoughts, as I had matched with around 10-15 girls before arriving on the island. Most ignored my openers or went ghost quickly, and the three that did give me their contact info either flaked or had no interest in meeting up with me when I was actually in Reykjavik.

Nightlife

All the nightlife will be somewhere on or near Austurstraeti, Bankastraeti, and the western parts of Laugavegur. Once again, it's important that you stay as close to those streets as possible.

As has been said before, Sunday-Thursday are pretty dead. However, Thursday isn't too bad even though many people won't be out. Bars close at 1 AM on those nights. On Fridays and Saturdays, the latest that bars will be open is 4:30 AM. Some places close earlier than others and it's a good idea to know where you want to go throughout the night. Fridays aren't bad but Saturdays have a lot more people out, making it the best night to game.

In general, tourists tend to go out earlier than Icelanders do and do not stay out as late as Icelanders do. Thus, if you're interested in gaming tourists before trying your hand with Icelanders at the end of the night, the smart thing to do would be to go out around 11-12 to certain bars where foreigners are likely to be. I'll mention some of them but a good rule of thumb is that you won't find foreigners in the clubs with lines. In fact, I don't think traditional club game is all that effective in Reykjavik and I’ll explain why shortly.

One other thing to mention is that the age to enter bars is 20, so you won't see any 18 or 19 year olds in the bars unfortunately.

Now I’ll move on to the venues.

Lebowski Bar-This is a bar with two levels as well as a small dance floor in the back where mainly 70's and 80's music is playing. It's a great place to make conversation with people and along with Icelanders, there is a decent amount of tourists here. Both weekend nights I was here I met some amicable girls visiting from other countries. It is best to go here starting at 11 or a little later and then go somewhere else if nothing sticks.

Prikid-Hipster/alternative and hip-hop/rap bar that is a good spot on Thursday and not too bad on the weekends. There are two levels and an outdoor smoking area that's obviously good for meeting and chatting with people. This was also another spot I met a few good folks.

B5-Typical club with a big dance floor and bottle service (although tables aren't really a big deal in the Icelandic clubbing culture apparently). There are some attractive girls but good luck talking to them with all the noise and pushing (Did I mention that Icelanders just love to push people when they're drunk?) going on in the place. The best spot to try talking to girls was near the coat check in the basement, but it's quite the effort to keep the attention of these girls before they either go off to join their friends or just stop engaging in the conversation.

Austur-As one of the other major clubs in Reykjavik, this spot had slightly more attractive and better-dressed girls than B5. The dance floor is not as big and there's a bit more room at the bar for talking. This club also has an outdoor smoking area.

Some other places were mentioned in other topics but I didn't go to them so I can't speak for those places. I did go into Bar 11 once but did not stay there long enough to write anything of substance about it.

The best time to approach Icelanders is when the bars let out. The methods required to succeed have been well documented on this forum and elsewhere but it's not as easy as it used to be and rejections are not uncommon. It's possible to build some rapport with Icelanders and then leave a venue but it's much harder with the two clubs B5 and Austur since they have long lines starting around 1:00 and getting into them before the 4:30 closing is basically impossible. In contrast, one can go into a place like Prikid before the closing time and get in without trouble.

Foreign tourists are much more willing to switch venues and I found them to be more compliant. Don’t be afraid to pull them back to your place early since they don’t usually want to stay out all that long anyway.

With all that said, I’ll now detail my three days in Iceland.

Thursday

I get into Reykjavik in the early morning and the sky is dark, the tarmac is covered with snow, the temperature is slightly chilly at about -5 Celsius, and the smell of sulfur is almost ubiquitous. Unfortunately my apartment has a 15:00 check-in and so I'm stuck for approximately the next 7 hours in the airport. I decide to leave the airport earlier than planned once I realize that I’ll need an adapter for my chargeable electronics since the electrical outlets in Iceland are different than those in the United States.

I go to the ticket stand for the Gray Line bus and have a nice chat with the attendant there. She’s not great looking and has short hair but can hold a conversation, smile, and has some sense of humor, which makes the experience of talking to her leagues better than my interactions with most American girls. This would be a common occurrence throughout the trip with a few exceptions.

The bus ride is uneventful, aside from some obnoxious British tourists who go bonkers at the driver once they realize one of their bags is missing. It was then that I realized why so many forum members and Icelanders cringe at the existence of the average British tourist.

After picking up the adapter from the hardware store I mentioned earlier, I relax at a coffee shop until checking-in to my wonderful apartment shortly after 15:00. The next few hours are spent resting and checking out the city a bit.

I decide to head out at 23:00 and first go to Lebowski Bar, which hardly has anybody. After making the decision to leave, I see that Prikid has some activity so I go in there. There’s some kind of performer and a decent amount of people, so I stick around to give the place a shot. After chatting for a bit with some American dudes who are visiting Iceland, I notice this platinum blonde Icelandic girl with a big tattoo on her chest and boobs who could be considered an 8 by any reasonable standards and perhaps even a 9. We chat for a bit about the tattoo and it turns out she was an au pair in a part of the US I’m familiar with and has visited 10 states. In typical Icelandic fashion, she interrupts the conversation and dips when one of her friends is in the vicinity. I do run into her again later but I realize it won’t go anywhere after learning that she has a boyfriend, works a stressful medical job in a remote part of Iceland on alternating weeks, and likes cocaine. She’s a big tease and simply just crazy. My other approaches don’t amount to anything and when Prikid closes at 1 the streets are empty so I just call it quits for the night and fall asleep around 2.

Friday
I go to pick up my rental car and drive out on some of the Golden Circle route. The scenery is amazing and it’s unfortunate that I didn’t have time to explore other parts of the island. Along the way, I make a stop at a thermal pool called Secret Lagoon, which has a website at this link. Admission is 2800 ISK and if you bring a towel, you won’t have to pay anything else since there is free use of lockers at the facility. Blue Lagoon was not on my agenda and I was quite satisfied with Secret Lagoon since it wasn’t crowded and not very expensive.

After spending some time at the lagoon, I drive back to Reykjavik and just chill for a bit before heading out at 23:30. This time I intend to go to Bar 11, but on the way I see these two girls in front of me who are clearly drunk, so I approach them. They’re both British girls from London no more than a 6 on the looks scale. We check out Bar 11 and find it empty so we go to Lebowski Bar instead. Unlike the previous night it has a good turnout of people, so we hang out there but it’s evident they’re not into me and would rather dance among themselves. I extract myself from their presence and chat up various other girls in the venue and eventually run into two other British girls from the northern part of England. One is an overweight girl and the other is a thin 6. They’re both pleasant to talk to and we hang out for a while before I suggest going to B5, which turned out to be a mistake in retrospect.

They’re not into the club scene and quickly get tired of being around the pushy Icelanders in B5. We then head to another small bar near Austur not worth mentioning and the 6 girl just doesn’t feel well (not physically but emotionally) and she wants to go back to her distant spot. The other girl then becomes a babysitter and they depart. I would’ve gotten their contact if I had thought about it at the time but I figure I can focus on Icelandic girls at the end of the night anyway. It’s about 3 AM at this point.

I head to Austur and stay until closing. As usual, the Icelandic girls I talk to are polite but are more interested in their friends and acquaintances. After Austur closes at 4:30 I stick around to try some last call game on the streets but there is hardly anyone around. The few people I even make an effort to talk to basically ignore me or smirk without saying a word. About 5:30 I call it quits and go to sleep, hoping Saturday will be better.

Saturday

I sleep away most of the morning afternoon on Saturday, cook some dinner, and then take a short nap before going out. There is some walking around the city in some periods when I’m awake, but the city of Reykjavik gets old very fast. Midnight is when I decide to head out, and Lebowski Bar in the first place I go to. Shortly after arriving I run into these two Canadian girls who are visiting the city. I hook with them and we sit together upstairs at the bar. One has a boyfriend but the more attractive girl does not. As it turns out, I matched with this girl on Tinder and she actually asked me if I was the same person but I had unmatched her so I played dumb. Meanwhile, some Swedish guys sit down near the two girls and one of them tries to run some game but despite being very nicely dressed, isn't very good at it. I simply suggest to the two girls that we check out somewhere else and we leave those dudes and their beers at Lebowski Bar.

We go to another bar on Austur not worth naming and hang out there for a bit before I suggest we go to my place which is a stone’s throw away. They comply but I can’t really do anything in the apartment with the two girls being together, and admittedly I didn’t establish enough sexual tension with the one attractive girl. We take shots of some dodgy Icelandic vodka and then they decide to depart as they’re in a place that’s a 30-minute walk (a common theme with these tourist girls to stay in distant places). It’s 3 AM when they leave.

I head out again and this time I go to B5, which is more packed with people than it was on the previous night. In fact, the streets definitely had more traffic on this Saturday night than it did at any point on Friday night. That being said, B5 was just an awful place to run game since everyone is either dancing or pushing someone. There aren’t really any spots to chat up girls and the few that I do talk to are behaving in standard Icelandic fashion. I spend about at hour there and it’s shortly before closing, so I check out Prikid. I meet two American girls there who are with an Icelandic guy. We hang out at Prikid until closing and then head to a back room in Bar 11 to drink with some Icelanders. We’re eventually kicked out so we decide to take a 10-minute walk to where the girls are staying. I figure I have a chance but after some time at the apartment, I learn that the girl not with the Icelandic guy has a boyfriend. By that point it’s too late to even try going back into the streets, so I just hang out with them and we talk for hours about various aspects of Icelandic culture. It’s 8:00 when I take a jog back to my apartment and get ready to leave the country. Oh well.

Verdict

Iceland is definitely a country worth visiting if you haven’t been there. The natural beauty is astounding and unlike many other places in the world. However, don’t come strictly for the women or expect to be welcomed with open arms. Icelandic people are polite but many can be cold and the country can become lonely and unwelcoming quickly. If I were to do Iceland again, I would only spend a Saturday there to see some of the nature outside of Reykjavik and then do a single blowout night of game. The country is quite expensive and offers a limited windows for pulling girls, which are some major downsides. The quality of girls also really varies, which is also another important thing to consider.

Tourists are definitely a niche worth exploring since so many of them visit the country and stay in the city. The summer apparently gets even more tourists, but there seemed to be enough to chat up when I was there. I did notice that there are a good amount of girls who traveled there in pairs (or were students from nearby countries), but often had apartments a little far away from the center. Getting a good pad near all the nightlife can make things a lot easier and many of the tourists I interacted with were rather easy to talk to and didn't mind meeting another tourist like myself. Hopefully some other members can benefit from my framework and take advantage of the tourist stream in Reykjavik.

Iceland sounds like a nordic nightmare to me since the tourism picked up: everyone bangs each other, everyone knows each other, there are no trees and the weather is bleak, you'll definitely be regarded as not a member of the tribe if you stay long(er) term. Also the fact that these people practice eugenics-based abortions and the fact that the icelandic church appears cucked.

It sounded a lot better when Roosh went, but it still for me is one of those destinations with unique culture and scenery that's probably worth visiting. It's also intriguing that Bobby Fischer got asylum there.

Interesting data on Iceland. I feel like the appeal a decade ago was the gender ratio and lack of popular tourism. Now that it's picked up, I don't think I'd personally go there just for women, but I really want to check out the nature views because the scenery is supposed to be one of the best in the world with a great spot for Northern Lights, so I'd go there for that anytime.

Iceland was once a hidden gem. While it is still quite majestic with it's natural beauty...the influx of tourism has ruined it for me. 5-6 years ago you'd be lucky to find a handful of tourists wandering the streets in downtown Reykjavik. Now, it's full of fucking hipsters. You can still find serenity outside of the city if nature is your thing. But with all the cheap airfare with WOW and Icelandair, what was once a hidden treasure is just another trendy tourist trap. This makes me quite sad. But on to the next...

with regard to WOW it's only cheap airfare if you

1) take no carry on (approx 60 buck carry on charge times 2 for round trip) and WOW's carry on luggage dimensions are tiny.

2) if you eat no food (17-20 bucks a meal...2 dollar water..(times 2 for round trip)

3) ALL seats have a price range to pay the crappiest cheapest seat starts around 8 or 9 bucks (to I think 20 bucks for preferred seats..don't quote me) ...times 2

I made the mistake of planning a connecting flight through Iceland to Copenhagen from Toronto.......so above numbers is TIMES 4! each leg of round trip connecting flights is billed separately..

A round trip ticket Toronto to Iceland (with the shittest flying times imaginable) at 260.00 looked great until all the fee's were added up...plus nothings open when you get there...so your paying for airport food while you hang around the airport or whatever extra costs while waiting for things to open up.

WOW comes out as almost the same pice as any other airlne...it's cheaper if you fly naked and starving in a cheap seat

WOW Air is only good for the cheap tickets, but if you always check a bag like I do it's $40 USD each way. The smart thing for North Americans to do would be the following:

1. Take a cheap WOW Air flight that lands early on Saturday (landing before 10 AM)
2. Have a rented vehicle ready to go explore the natural areas
3. Check-in to your apartment in Reykjavik and explore the city
4. Go out at night and try to get a bang from either a tourist or an Icelander
5. Drive back to the airport and fly to either the UK or continental Europe
6. Go back to North America on a direct flight

Heck, now that I think about it Iceland is damn near not worth it because of the apparently difficulty of the Icelandic flag and the high cost of just about...everything.

It's not, one of the few places where I think the "the ship has sailed" fear is actually valid.

It went too viral too fast - if the country had a larger population it wouldn't be a big deal, but that place is smaller than Baltimore. I could only imagine how bad it is now, add in the cost of living and it's a weak deal outside of the great nature pics.

Indeed 'the ship has sailed' in Iceland as above poster said. I am here for a week and nightlife wasn't up to the par as it used to be. Many bars/clubs were empty on Saturday night.

On Tinder, I am matching with 40 year+ women who have two kids at least. They are also not like american women who are 40+, but sometimes still in shape. Here older women have butter face and ugly body. They do drink like fish though.

I did see some fine girls in the club but they were in groups and weren't dancing with anyone and had high bitch shield since they knew they are in top 5% and all the guys are looking at them in a horny way. They are out of common guys reach.

As others have stated, this country used to be goldmine, but feminism, cheap airlines and tourists have ruined it. On top of it, things are so expensive - beer $12, Meal and coke for one person in a run down place would cost $25+, apartment is $150+/night. Entire trip going to cost me $4K or so with hardly anything to report about.

I will try to write a report after my trip.

I was there this past September, the amount of tourists was disgusting. Nightlife was decent, I kept moving from bar to bar until I found something I liked. Sadly, the locals are either partying outside the city or not at all due to drunken american's taking over their weekends.

You mentioned matching up with 40 year old women on Tinder, so safe to assume you are in your 30's or 40's. If that is the case, check out English Pub and Big Lewbowski bar. You will find a good mix of ages, not just early 20's.

And lastly, yes I agree Iceland has overly expensive. Food, beer, airport shuttle. There's NO FUCKING way a trip from the airport to Reykjavik (less than 45 minutes) should cost $140 USD!

Look forward to your report!

^ Wait, what? You mean shuttle bus? The cheapest way to get from the airport to city is $140?

Nope. As I said it my post, the bus from the airport to Reykjavik is 40 USD round trip.

I was there 7 years ago in January and February. Clubs were always packed on weekends and there were only a handful of foreigners. Hard to believe that even Iceland declined.

I guess this is the problem with cheap and easy flights, these little out of the way countries are so accessible.

I know for a while in Canada they were advertising flights to Europe with a stop in Iceland for a few days, they probably are still offering this but I haven't checked.

I think you guys are underestimating one big factor: the population. We have to remember, Iceland was an island that had a population of less than 500k people that was very spread out. It doesn't take as much tourism to invade or play it out than it would in a country like say the Philippines that has 100M people. Add in the fact that airlines became dedicated to flying to Iceland on the cheap and it is the perfect nature stop tucked away in the middle of the United States and Western Europe. Basically surrounded by rich tourists on both sides. It was bound to happen.

It's actually a very good metaphor and actual symptom of globalization. To be a community that maintains a unique identity and characteristics, the community would have to be intentional about creating a separation from broader global society.

Old order Amish have been successful at this and only because of intentionality.

Of course, from a perspective of freedom and opportunity, creating intentional divides comes at a cost.

Tourism is the poisoned apple that trips up a lot of countries. They can really use the influx of foreign money, but the cultural effects are usually significant. Inevitably, foreign men, who by nature of their preferred economic status and other attribute are going to fuck your women. Foreign companies are going to advertise and sell products which will make people envious of a better life and even if they don't local companies will. In a planet where you can fly from one side to the other in just 12 hours, this is inevitable.

You mentioned matching up with 40 year old women on Tinder, so safe to assume you are in your 30's or 40's. If that is the case, check out English Pub and Big Lewbowski bar. You will find a good mix of ages, not just early 20's.

Yes I am 30 and I had no age restriction (18-55) on Tinder. Big L has been boring with 70s music.

Nope. As I said it my post, the bus from the airport to Reykjavik is 40 USD round trip.

It is $50 now round trip.
