Data Sheet: Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico!
11-19-2014, 02:35 AM
Guys, this is all great information.
I finally made it to GDL, I didn't want to post this but I need your help.
I've been here 1 week now, I have an apt in Chapultepec on the strip. I’m dumbfounded. I’m doing something very wrong but not sure what it is. Pipelined w/ 50+ chicks online for some 3 mths prior to arriving. Super interested in me, multiple chats, whatsapp chats, Facebook, talking on the phone. Escalating the relation with almost all, probably spent some a few hours in total chatting whom I really liked.
Since I’ve arrived, I’ve had a 90% flake rate for the 1st date. This means I’ve spent weeks talking to them, they’re super excited, I get to Mexico, call them, set up the date, confirm, etc., then the date is cancelled 1 hr before w/ lame excuse or just no message back. Even worse, girls who were super interested before, fall of a cliff or stop messaging back even though they read your Whatsapp messages. I'm not talking about getting the bang, I'm talking about , after the date plan is made, the date never happens 90% of the time. This is with some 50 girls I've chatted with so it’s not a small sample size, I'd say 20 dates planned, 15+ cancelled on me, the other 30 have lost all interest now that i'm here. These are online chicks, Badoo, Cupids, etc. Same methods I’ve used in Colombia and in the Philippines with amazing success. They’re all on my Facebook, I have plenty of great pictures there. I speak fairly fluent Spanish.
I’d really like your help. Feel free to jump in, and don’t hold back if you want to criticize me, I’m obviously doing something wrong that I just can’t see and need to adjust my game somehow.
My initial suspicions for the issues are:
1)Location: I’m at Chapultepec and a lot of these chicks live in Zapopan or further, there aren’t many that actually live here. A bus can take an hour from Tlaquepaque to Chapultepec, Taxis are U.S. prices. In Colombia, against all advice, I often offered to pay for cabs if I could pay the driver directly, in smaller , poorer cities, result was that a lot of girls showed up on time and were more respectful. I usually wouldn't do this, trust me, I know the precedent it creates, but it might be a solution here.
2)Single Moms. A lot of these girls I’ve talked to are single moms, they don’t have the same freedom as they do in the Philippines, Its more like the U.S.A. Having a kid sort of ruined their life, they can’t date normally, go out at night, they don’t have any time, and for some reason it’s super tough to get a babysitter here.
3)Fantasy on online sites like Badoo. Seems like there are a ton of hot chicks on badoo who say they want to meet you and will chat and escalate but a number here doesn’t translate into an actual date like it does in Colombia or the Philippinnes. These chicks just chat and flirt, when you ask them their schedule or ask them out, there’s almost no effort or excitement on their part to actually see you. POF and the Cupids seem better but there aren’t many chicks on them in Guadalajara.
4)Skype/Videochat: I heard Skype works wonders here. I personally can’t stand video calls due to the time drain and trying to coordinate when they’re online. I’ve been using Facebook/Whatsapp with voice messages on both, it doesn’t seem to help.
5)Laziness/Strategy: it seems a lot of chicks just cancel cuz theyr’e lazy and don’t want to take the bus. Rather than running 1.5 hour coffee set dates like I did in Colombia, should I be running 3 to 4 hour 2-location/bounceback to apt-style dates like I did in Asia? This way I can excite them girl with the plan I have for them? I usually try that with girls for the night date 7pm+ but after 1 week I’ve now been flaked on , on the night date 5 times so I’m afraid to commit long hours to a girl on date 1.
6)In the moment/American culture: People here are busy, they’re studying or working, or have obligations. In the U.S. the best time to call a girl after online game was right after you got her #. You think it’s the same here? I pipelined for weeks/months, escalated the talks, girls got excited, figured that was a great thing to do, if you could do it. Literally no benefit so far, seems like they all want a fake boyfriend in the U.S. than a real one that’s here.
7)What I'm telling them: I’ve been telling girls I’m here for work and I’m living here and that I might be here for up to a year. Over and over people have told me the strategy for GDL girls is to let them know you might be here a long time, you have a good job, you’re a nice guy, open to a serious relationship. Now that I’m here, this seems might not be so smart, I think I might get the # as a nice guy, but suddenly I’m the one chasing, maybe they’ve got a serious boyfriend, they don’t want some guy who will be here for a year. Not sure.
It’s definitely not a lack of attraction. All these girls are on my facebook and have told me many great things about my looks and have been excited to meet me. It really came down to actually meeting me. And I also don’t think it’s anything stupid I’m doing. I haven’t been offensive in anyway, a douche, and I monitor everything on my Facebook. It’s not filled with girls posting comments or anything like that.
At times Guadalajara feels like Medellin or even Lima, there are hot chicks , they think you’re attractive, but they’re super conservative and you don’t have much added status as an American.
I know I will overcome this, Colombia was certainly not easy the first month or 2, neither was the Philippinnes to get the hotter girls. Over there it took hard work, I had to build closer connections, filter out younger girls and single moms, and get out of my comfort zone.
Thanks!
