That said, some of my friends who have been to the States on holiday recently (it was Vegas though), they literally just had to open and the girls would SNL almost every time. I was pretty shocked/impressed. In fact, the guy I'm talking about has never been exposed to the manosphere, so in his case I think he just fuckin spoke and the bitches were on him straight away. He justified it by being the youngest guy in a group of 40-50 yr olds which I guess makes sense.
The accent is a likely factor here. Can't underestimate the pull of the novelty factor, especially when dealing with vapid (read: typical) young girls in the USA.
They've got short attention spans and are always on the look out for something new, trendy, and cool, especially if it impresses their friends. A foreign guy can fit that bill-he's different (novelty is useful to tame their tiny attention spans) and, depending on the girl, he could even fulfill a few fantasies (ex: for a Brit, maybe she'll surmise that you look like Harry Potter or some other English TV character she knows).
A reasonably clean cut Brit who does merely OK at home can kill here if he plays his cards the right way.
Know your enemy and know yourself, find naught in fear for 100 battles. Know yourself but not your enemy, find level of loss and victory. Know thy enemy but not yourself, wallow in defeat every time.
