Haha, I think rudebwoy knows Budapest doesn't need to be qualified. I will take a shot at it.
1.) Geographic center of Europe=easy traveling
2.) Cheaper than most third world shit holes, while not being said shit hole.
3.) Really amazing nightlife any night of the week, you just cant get bored here
4.) The Budapest vibe: Yea, every city offers something unique but Budapest gives off a moody, dark yet energetic vibe that I haven't felt anywhere else in the world.
5.) The women are great but I am not at all surprised about the mixed reviews on the forum. The tourist traps are infested with grimy prostitutes.You have to know where to go and that means having a local connection. Hot Hungarian women aren't interested in tourists. You need to have a social circle here where you are introduced. The magyars are a little insular so that takes time.
Thanks for the rundown, but I don't think Budapest would suit me. I'm not actually into nightlife at all if day game works. I wouldn't be so sure that your point 5 is about tourist traps. A few years ago I spent three weeks there and the only attractive girl I saw was in the Russian embassy. Bratislava, on the other hand, was like a minefield full of 8s and 9s. I think it comes down to personal preferences. What one guy considers hot may just be another scruffy college girl to another. To put it another way: I don't own even one pair of jeans.
Location and cost aren't so important for me. As long as I'm within two hours of an airport and there are plenty of sophisticated, sexy women, I'll be happy.
Prague is a sausage fest if your a tourist. When you live here....its very nice. imo I think Prague has great girls, but people have had different experiences. I think Prague is a great base of operations. Central location, no one bothers you, safe city, good food, friendly people.
