99% of women are shit conversationalists and bad at flirting with intent. They're only good at responding to what you put out there

This is some serious gold.

I have noticed the hotter the girl. The more true this statement is.

Generally speaking yes, but they ping off you. If you're hot and high status, the more work they will put in and try. Some are shit, some are amazing with flirting but they always get what they want so it's minimum effort until you come along. It usually takes some time.

Rule of thumb - the more out of your league/hotter than you she thinks she is, the less investment she will put in. (sidenote: go out with hot women and this investment increases - preselection)

If you're top of the food chain, she will put in the effort. This is why I laugh when 6s and 7s try shit on me (they cold approach or perimeter me) and put in the effort. I respect it but I find that I respond like a hot girl and make minimum effort past being polite because they simply aren't in my league.


Well, this is what it's like with most women and when I write shit here it's specifically for the top, TOP, finest women. I don't fuck with SEA broads or girls who are below 7. Even 7s; I have become so anal with my time/energy usage.

There are exceptions. FWB who came over last night is a 7 and nothing spectacular past her body. She is inexperienced (been with 2 guys before me and I believe that) so cannot flirt for shit and I thought about this, she's just a receptacle for me to fuck. It's terrible but I am done with girls pretending like they don't need game for us guys. Itch meet scratch. It's scratched now, so I'll scratch her off my list too probably. I kept her around because she made an effort (bring food, pick up a friend of mine from a bar and give him a ride, whatever). It's all fine and good until she wants to have the 'what are we' discussion which is where you lay down the law.



Going back my post in the other thread ('modern game' lol), about that phenomenal connection I had with this absolute stunner on Wednesday (social circle girl, not Thursday's cold approach).

It blew me away because she was putting in the effort 110%. My wing/friend had a harder time with this target but he's learning the ropes and of course, he set it up. Legend. Even his girl and him were surprised and gave us space. They 'got it'.

It's also feedback that I am indeed top of the food chain within certain environments. It's liberating.

Assumptions do 80% of the work but there's a 20% which doesn't abide by this rule of thumb and this is where I find the most intriguing girls. The ones who I wake up and think about because they ain't template.

I know if she has the potential and it needs unlocking, within 5 minutes. It's all about the bait you drop. My friends say I just pull out 'the talk'.

Dreams, certain experiences, fantasies and cool shit. Less qualification of what you DO and more projection of what you want to DO WITH HER. Shit that got your mind racing and whether she fucks with that. The bait.

My initial statement stands but I thought I would provide a juxtaposition because this girl was/is bonafide hot, 22 and ticks all the boxes. My mate always says 'take her home to mom'.

I very much stand by the original statement and your agreement of it but just to dig deeper in to what happens with the rest (1% that its amazing and the 20% that have the potential).

Hot girls will make the effort if you are 'out of their league'. This is mainly when they are younger or older (rarely same age) and similar in looks and are a sexy fucking guy. Otherwise, they never had to make the effort, their hotness did it for them (this explains feminism but let's not bring that up again).

For all this talk about being good with game, no one really connects this with being 'sexy'.

Anyone spending time around women knows that this is their barometer of fucking a guy. Is he sexy?

We discuss the individual constituent elements but tying them together = sexy.

First you gotta be Mr. Right Now before you are Mr. Right.

Lover vs provider.

re: allowing women time to think

I want your side of this, what do you think?

Let’s be real, plenty of the guys in the 40+ thread are looking for quick and easy.

A washed up 43 year old who never learned how to get a chick is just kinda sad though.

If you put any level of work in there is no reason why you shouldn’t be killing it by that age.

There you go with my contribution on Black Man Game Options.
I did some research trying to find out where my colour skin will not be an handicap on gaming (at least for the approach). You can agree or not and even though I’m proud to roll with this colour in this white world, I face - like most of the brothers - some discriminations just because I’m different.
Due to the recent migrant crisis in Europe, people will assume that you’re just another refugee until they know more about you… (Let’s be clear I’m not blaming the migrant, they’re just hustling trying to have lives!)
Of course rolling suit up can change people attitude towards you and I can see the looks I’m getting on my way to work, but to me it’s strange to hit a club with a suit especially when you have a dance game and you wear expensive suits. But I guess I’ll have to experiment it one day.

Anyway, I did some research trying to find out where in Europe, my skin color will not be an “handicap” on approaching and I find out a study from the European Union discrimination agency with some interesting findings.
Whether they have children or not, only 56% of European would feel totally comfortable if one of their children or potential children was in a love relationship with a black person.
In the meantime, 82% of them would feel totally comfortable if it’s with a white person.
I don’t know if you realize, but that’s a BIG difference.
Here is the top 5 of totally comfortable answers: Sweden, Netherlands, UK, France, Ireland
Here is the top 5 of totally uncomfortable answers: Slovakia, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Cyprus

Focusing only on the delta between black and with person, the countries with the lowest difference are: Luxembourg, Sweden, UK, Netherlands and Denmark.

First thing I assumed seeing this is that it’s probably impacted by a high share of old people in the survey. So I look at the result per age group.
And to my big surprise not that big difference: 15-24 are comfortable for a black person at 65%, 25-39 at 59%, 40-54 at 58% and 55+ at 50%.

Then I checked the gender, assuming that maybe women were more open but disappointment again: men totally comfortable at 55% women totally comfortable at 57%.

There are plenty of additional interesting data but I will stop it here for now.

I don’t mean with this that we should all head to the Luxembourg, Sweden, UK, Netherlands, Denmark, France and Ireland and expect pussies paradises. But I can imagine that it should be easier for us to approach in these countries.
I’m French, I’ve visited all these countries except UK and Denmark and I can assure you that without game, nothing will happen.

BUT I think the gold mine is the flop 5. value. Their answer is for me the translation of their ignorance of what’s a black person and I can understand that people are scared of what they don’t know. Normally our exotic value should be higher in Slovakia, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Cyprus.
I’ve only been to Czech Republic among these 5 but from now the other 4 will come on top of my list.

Have any of you ever been in any of these? How was the reception?

Additional notes:
-Unfortunately this study was conducted in 2015 and a lot of thing have change now. I think they will update the study this year so I look forward to seeing the results.
-This is based on declarative so it can just means that the top countries are the most hypocrite ones in Europe
-This is based on EU28. A lot of interesting Euro countries are missing. (I’m thinking Norway, Russia…)

Surveys are bullshit.

Studies are bullshit.

Just because you visited those countries and didn't have a good experience, it doesn't mean the next black guy will have the same experience.

No one here is trying to sex down EVERY European woman, yes many will not want you but luckily there are so many that will want you.

If you listen to other people, you won't go anywhere and miss out on lots of opportunities.

Luckily, I NEVER listened to other people and always went against the norm.

I travelled to a Greek island air only many years ago, probably before you were even born. I had the time of my life, see our first podcast on the first page of this thread for the details.

In 201, I travelled by myself to Iceland.
My co-workers kept looking at me funny and saying I should have gone to Vegas/Cancun etc.
Iceland blew me away, I had such a blast I returned later in that same year. I also went back in December 2016 and met up with a young black forum member, trust me WE had a good time.
That same member was also in Russia recently.

As you can see I have travelled to a number of places, the more off the beaten path the place is the better the reception.

I am sorry, your outlook is very negative.

I don't see black skin as being a handicap, maybe in a job interview but not when I travel. There are many young black guys on this forum who travel a lot and are enjoying life. CoverDoc posted a recent trip report from Barcelona, sounds like he had a good time.

This is a great time to travel, the internet makes things so much easier and their are many ways you can meet women. Many guys on this thread speak highly of Mexico City, not a place most of us would have even considered.

I talk to a few white forum members on a regular, they are always begging me to come meet them in certain places. Shout out to those guys, love you guys.

As I mentioned before I love F1, next year I would love to visit the race in Baku Azerbijan. I can guarantee you I will meet women, whether I get laid doesn't really matter. At least I can say I have been to Azerbijan.

The glass is always half full.

Being black is a very positive thing, How can you not use it to your advantage? When it's widely known in the world that we have big dicks?

You don't believe in studies and surveys, I do! Fair enough
At least we have something in common, I NEVER listened to other people too when it comes to travel destinations.
My decision of visiting those places is already taken. Flights for Sofia and Copenhagen are already booked. Vilnius will follow.
The point is that I like to hear what people have to say about places they have been. It's never to determine if I'm going to a place or not.
The best example is Santorini. I have been there twice and I'm seriously considering going a third time in October. It's probably the best place I've ever been. Yet everyone around me was advising against, telling me that it's a place full of gay and honeymooners.
I was in Malia in Crete last month too despite all the posts in the forum advising against this place.

Regarding my black skin, it has never been a real handicap to get a job, I do something specific enough.
When I travelled it's usually an advantage. People are usually surprised to see a young black guy travelling. So they want to know more about me.
It's only an handicap when I roll solo or with other black in the western world (getting into club becomes complicated, approaching girls becomes a challenge...). When I'm with my white friend, the problem disappears.
A polish girl who lives in Italy was telling that the only black guyz they see in Poland are high value people (athletes, artists, expats...) so black skin is not necessarily associated with the classic bullshit that we can see in the media. This probably explain why my reception get better as soon as I'm out of the west.

A bit of a contradiction from your original post.

What can I learn from this survey? Nothing.

I have encountered physical racism in the UK, my country of birth.

Would I tell other black guys not to go there, of course not.

It just popped into my head, don't really know where it came from.

I was thinking about the initial pull, but I like your more comprehensive take.

@Black Caesar

I frequent the 40+ thread. I don’t think it’s “sad” per se to see inexperienced 43y.o.’s. Unfortunately, it’s pretty normal considering many guys married one of the first few gals who gave them some poon and paid the price for it later down the line. It’s never too late to correct course.
What I do find sad, however, are the number of guys who are essentially P4P with these SA type bishes. But, these are the guys who were busy making bread while many of us were busy banging bishes, now the roles are essentially reversed. I’m out here playing catch up trying to make money while they’re using the money they already made to bait bishes.
I went out with a chick not too long ago who told me the majority of dudes she comes across continuously brag about their finances. Meanwhile, I’m out here trying to play down my loot to avoid coming off as a provider.

Man the more I read about how game is back home the more I wonder what the point is. It sounds like a massive time suck to bang girls with weird, pathological personalities.

@rudebwoy, a lot of people my age stay playing video games, too. i’m worried about my brother, he’s got a girlfriend and he just got into pharmacy school so he thinks he’s good. he doesn’t realize his own potential, but that’s on him.

my mindset. medical school -> specialize -> leadership in a physician association. Connections take you to the next level. i’m tryna be the guy planning medical conferences, running multiple practices...maybe even dabble in some politics.

Any of y’all try your hand at politics? I think I’d get caught up in a scandal, I like the allure of strippers too much haha

I’m tryna make money for life. retirement’s not an option for me, not the way i see it. On some obama type mess. that dude makes money just speaking at events lol...yhat’s what I’m tryna do!

Careful with the strippers bruh. They're professional con artists. I done gotten burned by thots in the past & been trying to stick to messing with higher class lizards as of late.

@BB

Yessir! Seems like politics or preaching is the natural progression for most players.

@BB - most guys are like your brother, they get a piece of ass and they stay with it. I doubt his girl will go anywhere, not if he is in Pharmacy school. He is probably content, so why bother.

I stopped long ago trying to convince my friends there is another world out there.

This thread was my idea, too encourage black guys in America to travel the world and explore. Some guys even gave Moma and I flack for it, wondering what we know about being black American.

Good for you getting into med school, the other stuff I am not sure about. I would rather stay under the radar, make my loot and move in the shadows.

@Jordypip23 - I should take your advice about strippers. I am still a black man at heart.

I don’t know how you brothers approach non-black women in Europe.

I’m at the end of my tether just working with the general public and working against the stereotypes.

Even in the U.K., brothers practicing urban terrorism in London. We have migrant crisis with the evening news showing us as poor and in boats. Then today, attempted and failed terror plot by black guy in London.

I rate you guys and your resilience.

For me, even if they’re conscious of it or not, these events must permeate into their decisions on who to bang or not.

What do you mean? I don't think it's that bad. Sometimes, if one imagines someone holds a prejudice about them, it bleeds into their vibe and they may presume that it exists. There are many people who don't watch the news or those people are actually attracted by the 'dangerous' element of a black migrant. At the end of the day, you have to own your vibe and go after who you want/desire. If you like white lizards, go for them. They come in different rankings and they are not all rated or perceived equally amongst themselves.
I don't know if one can consider Turkish as white but they have a particular liking for blacks.
One of my guys in university picked up a sexy one and sexed her well. She was so receptive, she let his roommates smash too but that's a whole other story...

The Danish also like blacks as well (speaking from personal experience). There may be certain 'black looks' they don't go for immediately but once you validate that you are a Western black, it's game on. There is a black guy on this thread for which Denmark is essentially his DR. If you can't go to Denmark (when I lived in the UK, it was about 30 quid for a return flight there), you can definitely find a Danish community in London and work it from there.

Well.... maybe. I think the recent events have clouded my judgements. Some Sudanese dude raped some women in a UK cemetery, recently too.

Yes, you're right. Go after what you want. That's why I have to respect the resilience of those brothers out here. It cannot and mustn't be easy. Particularly in this climate where exoticism is fading and familiarity is breeding contempt. Maybe I'm a negative self-hater, imprisoned by his own fears, who knows.

But in conclusion, i'm probably being negative but I can definitely see the direction the wind is blowing. If the comments accompanying these new articles are anything to go by, people know what's going on.

I still predict European Civil war by 2050. Heard it here first folks.

Speaking of which,

when I came back from Africa and Grenada earlier this year. Both times I was stopped at customs and asked to open my bags. They then thoroughly searched my bags and asked me shit like, where I bought the tickets, what job I do, where do i work etc etc. They asked me, both times, " Do you know its illegal to bring firearms and drugs into the country?"

This never used to happen. I had to show my passport (again) despite going through the nothing to declare. This was at London Gatwick. Of course, I was the only black male and yes, I was the only one subject to this "random" search.

Welcome " home" fellas.

My point: We cannot ignore the incredible social issues that are plaguing Europe. Particularly as we are one of the two groups that are most demonised. I couldn't care less if you dudes call me coon or whatever, we have to deal with reality before it deals with us. And trust me, it will.

TDK

You’re using your own self limiting belief to analyse the experience of others on dealing with non-black women. There is no resilience, or hard work involved. If anything, non black women can be easier to deal with than black women themselves.

Can’t speak for NBG’s abroad, but it’s literally like shooting fish in a barrel here in the U.S.
I can only imagine it’s similar everywhere for Western Black Men.
Once my inner-game stabilized, the aforementioned negative experiences all but ceased to apply to me. I look, an act like the high value man I am (an continue to aspire to be) an undoubtedly am treated as such wherever I go.
Hold your head up, shoulders back and look people in the eye. You’d be surprised at how well you get treated.

back like jordan wearing the fo-five!

Relationship rust is forreal. I don't think blue pill me ever got blocked after getting a girls digits yeesh

I've been told many times that I have the bearing of a politician. Not to mention, my racial mix would give me an edge. That said, I hate politics and politicians with a passion. Snakes. Every single one of them.

Not all politicians suck Lee Kuan yew, Park Chung Hee and Thomas Sankara were all politicians but at the same time the greatest men that has ever walked on this earth.

Naming the top .01% of politicians isn't really a good way to make a case in my book. The overwhelming majority of them are about as trustworthy as an illegal Mexican abortion clinic.

Sounds like more of an Anglosphere problem than a European problem. I've been harassed the most in customs going into English speaking countries (U.S. and Canada, I've heard UK and Aussie agents are assholes as well), everywhere else I breeze through customs. Sometimes I even get the female customs agents flirting with me.
