DVY, how many places have you been to? Perhaps, I should take you out to Washington, DC clubs or Toronto and you would definitely retract your statement. There are places in USA where it is not enough to use game+language+funds, really you need game+language+funds+LUCK+social circle to score with 7+ girls due to massive bitch shields and insane competition.
I agree with DVY for the most part with the game+language+funds, but the X factor is also looks. If you look like Sloth in Goonies you can have those three and you probably wont get very far. DVY, we have met and I would say we both have above average looks and height which I wont discount makes things easier in any corner of the world.
Looks is one of the things on the forum that I think is not factored in enough when considering others' success as most people aren't interested in rating themselves. If I don't know what you look like, its tough for me to tell you how will do. I could kill it in a place, and you could strike out, and vice versa.
We all talk about being suited up, etc, which is trying to put our best foot forward in the looks department, but the hand we were dealt with our natural looks also plays a large part and in some cases we blame it on the purple sweater, game wasn't right, etc, when it might very well be that simply she wasn't attracted to you.

Without seeing DVY or anyone else, I don't think you can make the statement above. I haven't hit DC, but I have done what I thought was VERY well in Toronto which I outlined here:
http://www.rooshvforum.network/thread-6277-page-11.html
DVY could also do his thing in Toronto I'm sure without luck and social circle. Can't say for sure on DC, but I cant imagine it being as difficult as claimed...
I think this is true, looks is rarely talked about.
The other X factor in the game+language+funds equation is how hard one works.

I have never been to FSU besides Latvia, but a lot of you guys are conflating "pretty boy" with "good looking".
Don't FSU girls like masculine good looking guys?
Or do they really only like "ugly guys"?
My experience in Moscow is that the most upscale, educated and intelligent (mega hot goes without saying) women in Moscow want a man who can protect and provide for them and any future kids. If you look like a burly bear (mea culpa) and other packs of wolves, lions and tigers tend to fear you and give you a wide berth this can work to your advantage. There are a lot of this type in Russia as well.
I found that US Standard Corp Exec suited up look during the days and at dinner and or Black cashmere sport coat or leather jacket with open collar shirt black slacks and shoes (NO Dockers ever) after dinner at bars clubs both worked well - the oligarchs I was with were young and loved karaoke as well and only drank juice, coffee or tea - they liked Nescafe instant as well. The one request a Russian multimillionare asked me to bring over was Dunkin Donuts coffee normal roast both ground and beans - local New England DD's give a deal 3 one pound bags for $19 - so I brought 3 one pound bags and a bag of Paul Newman's organic that I like a lot at McCafes. Was a bigger hit than starbucks.
Russians tend to adopt a lot of American habits (drinking coffee) though they will not admit it (The Oligarch Mikhail Prokorov bought the Brooklyn Nets and owns the Metro NYC Russian Expat SNOB magazine) and quite a few other Oligarchs have set up a not so discreet Plan B in NYC and or Miami so they secretly admire the USA - the young Oligarchs all wanted to see Hollywood of course VIP style and most in Moscow can at least understand English if not speak it as a major international language of biz.
The Oligarchs I met make most of their massive wealth in the FSU and outside of Hollywood had no other real interest in doing any business in the USA - just a safe place to hide a few rubles from Mr. Putin Chairman of Russia Inc. who has indicated he wants to start repatriating Russian Wealth for the benefit of Russia as the oligarchs all break out into a cold sweat - as an aside met a senior NYC banking Exec in Boston recently who shared that he had moved much of the Russian offshore Cyprus wealth out to Abu Dahbi under very favorable terms so Abu Dahbi may become the new upscale Dubai for the wealthy Moscow elites.
Go Figure
Lets NOT forget some of the so called rich Russians are Jewish guys who immigrated to USA and Israel during the 1970's and the later wave in 1980's. They had the skills and sense to take advantage of the break up of FSU. I know in Odessa the NYC Jews have a big business presence behind the legal and illegal shit.
LOL I met one in Moscow who showed me their Israel Passport as well as Russian - paid like $30K USD for it and Israel Citizenship and it allows them to visit the USA at will with never a visa concern.
