days in Sofia - my observations
08-10-2015, 02:35 PM
Just got back from Sofia, with my Bulgarian girlfriend. This is not a data sheet as such as I was there for a wedding and not there to game women, but I want to give my impressions of the place, to anyone who may be considering a visit.
Cost - Bulgaria has always been cheap as it is one of the poorest members of the EU,but at the current exchange rate, prices are crazy cheap.
An an example: meal for 3 pizza place, 10 mins walk from the centre, we paid the following.
3 medium pizza (quality good), 3 bottles of water, 1/2 lite of wine, 1 coke and 2 bottles of 500mil Stellar = £20 ($31), this included a 10% tip.
Accommodation, we stayed just off vitosha street in a quality 1 bed apt, 600 sq feet with balcony, wifi all mod cons, cost £200 for 5 nights. Vitosha has the 'cafe culture' bars / restaurants and is really nice to walk down.
When we did use taxis I paid about £7 for about 20 mins, not expensive.
At the wedding we went to I noticed that just like the anglosphere everyone is glued to their smart phones. As in all wedding boys chase girls and I saw a good looking Bulgarian guy get slapped down after trying it on with a woman on the dance floor.
There was some mixing but it all seemed to be social circle within their groups. If terms of the women of the 15 women on the dance floor, there was only 1 fattie.
In terms of couples Bulgaria seems to be a place where couples are generally evenly matched in terms of looks. A male 6 with a female 6 and so on. On occasion though you would see some men who were say a 6 with a female 8.
In Sofia itself I felt the place was not yet overrun with the British stag party crowd, which is a good thing.
I saw an American guy in a restaurant in bad shape, maybe early 30s, balding, no dress style, probably a 5.5 in terms of looks, with a definite Bulgarian 8 in my book. She was 5ft 9, slim, super good looking. All credit to the guy as he has used his foreign status to pull her, in the states he would be lucky to get a date.
Looked like he met her on the Internet as he did not look the type to chat up women openly in bars - good luck to him.
Can't comment on the nightlife / women scene as I was not there for that, but my thoughts are that Sofia could be a welcome change for people as its a place that has not yet been overrun with Anglo men.
Most of the young people seem to have a reasonable level of English, although I found saying a few Bulgarian phases always gets a positive response.
Overall a refreshing trip.
