I was in Moscow for a little more than a week in july - gonna write a brief trip report to help anyone that might be looking to spend some time there. Some background: I'm brazilian, 23 y/o, look spanish, decent face and shape, am pretty short (168 cm).
I was there with 02 friends - both with pretty good game; my game is really not that great but i can make things happen when I'm in the right mood
.
DAY 01
We landed in Moscow pretty late in evening - it was past 01:00 when we were properly set up in the AirBnb we rented. We ended up going to Nikolskaya to get some drinks and see if something was happening but it was pretty dead with a lot of drunk tourists and really no girls to be seen lol. Se we decided to call it a night and get some proper rest for the next day.
The AirBnb we rented was at Kutuzovsky Avenue pretty close to the Radisson Hotel - pretty good location that has lots of good restaurants by the river, easy access to most areas in the center and with lots of Ubers always close-by. Just a pleasant area to be at.
DAY 02
Spent the day doing some tourist stuff, then at late afternoon (~18:00) we met with a russian guy that was friend of one of my friends (they went to uni together in the US). He was a cool guy and invited us to join him and his friends for a party in the evening. We ended up going to a club called 'Secret Room'.
'Secret Room' is a pretty small and expensive club that plays mostly black music. It was packed and we shared a table with 4 russians and their girlfriends. This was cool as we were instantly part of that social circle and had good status with the friends of the girlfriends, but only our russian friend spoke english, so we couldn't really interact with everyone else lol. The level of talent was insane, lots of 8s and even 9s, but the girls had a very strong gold digger vibe to them, and the enviroment kind of helped that (guys spending thousands on bottle service, lots of expensive cars on the front of the club, everyone wearing designer clothes etc.). I didn't mind that but I know some people don't like this kind of enviroment.
About the girls: it was a surprise to me that russian girls really don't drink a lot, if at all. All guys were getting shitfaced drunk and most girls were sober. This made my night a little harder as I was completely drunk after certain point and don't speak any russian. I approached a lot of girls but the language barrier always killed the interaction - but I noticed the girls are pretty receptive to being approached there, none was rude at all and some even attempted to communicate via google translate.
Eventually I found a girl that spoke spanish (funny, she spoke spanish, but no english. wtf?). She was a 7, so definetly not that good looking considering the other girls, but we kind of hit it off when I started to speak perfect spanish to her. She was 19 (according to her), blond, pretty face, but a little overweight (nothing major, still easily bangable). We ended up talking for a good while but she resisted any escalation attempt with a smile. Since she wasnt leaving and seemed interesting in talking to me I didnt gave up, and eventually i just went full caveman and kissed here without giving her much chance to resist lol, she kissed back this time finally. After the kiss her behaviour changed completely, touching me much more and asking a lot of more personal questions etc. At one point she said I looked armenian, I pretended to be offended and she was quick to say her sister is married to a armenian guy and that they have a beautiful daughter, even showing me pictures LOL...
We stay at my table just enjoying the music and talking some more, but im really not in the mood to try and bring this girl home - it was my second day in russia and i was really having a blast partying with everyone.
A very weird interaction that happened with my friend here: there was this table with 3 gorgeous, gorgeous girls, all alone, so he went and tried to approach them. As soon as he's at the table a big security guard appears out of nowhere and pushes him away while talking some russian non-sense. Later our russian friend told us not to talk to those girls, but i ended up forgetting him to ask him why. Maybe mafia or something?
It was time to leave the club and all my friends and the russians (and me) were completely drunk, they wanted to hit an after party spot so i just left with them after getting the girl's number. Looking back, maybe i could have tried to bring her to my place to seal the deal, but it was like 6 am, i was too drunk and not horny enough for that. I preferred to keep the party going and hit the after party.
So we headed to a place called 'Mix'. It was walking distance to my airbnb so that was nice. At this point we're only 6 dudes (the girls went home and so did one of the guys). On a side-note, russians are completely hilarious / dangerous when drunk. We were all in our friends car, while he was driving, and his friends would get their shirts off and put on the driver's face on the middle of the road while screaming "BLACKOUT!". LOL.
The place was a typical after party spot: lots of drunk / drugged ppl, dark venue, generic techno playing etc. We get a table and drink more. Really fun venue with lots of cute chicks but i was honestly too drunk to judge.
Approached 3 girls here: one was a 6 who spoke decent english, couldnt really turn the interaction into anything but ended up talking to her cause she was kind of cool. Another was a solid 8 who ended up dancing with me for a good while but was super drunk, spoke no english and was going around the club like a ping pong ball, talking to everyone etc.. The last one was also a 6, brunette, skinny and all tattoed, but my friend ended up cockblocking me and closed the deal with her at the end lol.
Interestingly, I saw a lot of black dudes at Mix, and they all seemed to be doing well with girls. Also a lot of arabs. Maybe because its a more alternative place? At the first club I think I only saw russians / guys that looked russian.
Overall it was a fun night, pretty expensive (I think i ended up spending over 20,000 RUB) but def worth it if you have the bankroll / not staying in Moscow for a long time. I feel like if I spoke russian I'd get lots of 8s and 9s leads on Private Room. Maybe in the future
I'll post the other days later. This ended up being a lot longer than I planned...
