[Amsterdao!]

Guys,

Sit back and get ready for a long post...Ha!

I would like to give you some options whenever you pay a visit to my country. Holland or The Netherlands is a small country (250km nortsea to eastside, 350km north to south) so the distances are small to visit more places than only amsterdam. I live in between the 4 biggest cities in Holland in the western part of holland, but Amsterdam is my favorite city by far.

Cities overview (approx distances from amsterdam): Amsterdam 800k inhabitants, Rotterdam 610k (60km), The Hague 500k (50km), Utrecht 300k (30km) Other student cities: Leiden 120k (30km), Groningen 190k (170km), Eindhoven 210k (120km), Maastricht 120k (220km), Nijmegen + Arnhem total 300k (120km), Breda 170 k (100km) not a real student city but worth to mention too.

So as you can see: All cities are within reach and easy to travel by train and car.

language: The first language is Dutch, but i guess most people under the age of 40 will speak english as well.

best time to visit:
May To September. Our climate is pretty wack...and it changes a lot. You never know what you can expect. it can be a mild winter, a hot streak in may or a rainy summer. I would advise you to visit holland between May and September because you have the biggest chance for good weather, girls in short skirts and happy people. A sunny day on a boat through and along the Amsterdam Canals is great!

currency:
Euro. The prices are western european. Somewhere between prices in Eastern Europe and Scandinavia.

girls:
Here in my part of the country you will find more girls of mixed races. Dutch/Arabic, Dutch/ Indonesian, Dutch/ Antillian and all kind of other mixes you can think of....alongside the typical dutch girls. The girls here can be a little more arrogant with bitch shields. Most girls with a more "big city" mindset can be bit hard sometimes.
In the eastern and southern part of the country you will find more typical dutch blond girls. Often i will find them better to approach and friendly. more laid-back.

You can all figure out the touristy things yourselves (red light district, smoking weed, windmills whatever)...otherwise my post will be too long. If you have any specific questions about it...just send me a PM.

I just want to tell you guys where you can find the hottest girls. For me it's plain simple...I go to the places where the hottests girls are (8s and above) They are the hardest, but i like a challenge....I am more into quality but that's just me. i have been in Colombia and Brazil... I have seen some top quality girls...but like everywhere there were some hideous beasts too. Here is no different...you can find some real stunners or above average, but also a lot of ugly girls. Like i said...i want to give you some options to find some stunning ladies to swoop.

Nightlife in Amsterdam :
Please avoid all those places around leidse square and all those tourist trap bars for pubcrawling etc...You will only meet other tourists and backpackers went to the same bad bars...and the lowest quality of dutch girls. You can have some beers everywhere in the city, but check:
http://www.link2party.com/nl/ for some real parties! Important!

Jimmy Woo : This place was the most popular venue for years and still gives some great parties. Door policy is strict, but with a good style and attitude they will let you in. http://www.jimmywoo.com/

Air: Currently the place to be...Doorpolicy same as Jimmy Woo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3f1DLTh5b...re=related

Supperclub: A bit extraordinary. They host a lot of different parties.....i visit this place a lot on mondays. http://www.supperclub.com/html/amsterdam...upperclub/

Panama: Cool place, but with a LESS strict door policy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqOesaFTkVU.

Escape: Lots of tourists. A bit expensive place, but not that bad after all. Doorpolicy is ok. Rembrandtsquare

Paradiso: Place for smaller, but better concerts and parties. Less posh and luxurous and more down to earth place. Near Leidsesquare

Other recommendations:
Bloemendaal beach parties: Near haarlem, app 20 km from Amsterdam. No other tourists. A lot of beachclubs in a row. you can pick Bloomingdale, Vroeger, Woodstock...etcetc many many. Visit in the summer weekends.

Summer festivals
*Dance valley: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2yt7rDhnPI
Begin of August, valley of spaarnwoude (15 km from amsterdam) There willl go busses to this place.
* Mysteryland: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoztDAv8Cmc

* Extrema Outdoor: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Chniby0r_0Y
Always a great party! near Eindhoven. half July
* Loveland: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUeWmRR74ic
Half August
* Sensation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EAI4RmA0...re=related
Begin of july. Everybody in white clothes. Amsterdam Arena

Well...You can visit a festival every week if you want from end of June Until the begin of September. Beachparties and parties like this are the easiest places to game. Girls are happy and horny (with some help of alcohol and drugs) Girls come from every part of the country to party here!

City centre of Eindhoven, Breda and Groningen: drinks are cheaper then amsterdam. Girls are easy to approach and the centre is full with bars filled with enough potential. Just ask which places are the best (good opener after all) and do some bar hopping. Get drunk and enjoy!

Like i said before....feel free to ask here or write me a PM. Currenly i'm off the market to get fit again, but i'll make my comeback within a few months in the party circuit. Hit me up if you want meet some day here in Amsterdam and i'll show you the places myself.

I'll repeat: if you want to party in amsterdam: check http://www.link2party.com/nl/ and you can see where to party that night. Most of it is in english so you will understand the main info.

Nuff said.... ciao!

As a fellow Dutch man i can say this is a pretty good datasheet. I'm not familiar with the nightlife spots in Amsterdam though since i don't like Amsterdam that much.

PS, Holland is about 175 kilometer wide not 250 kilometer. Would be better though.

Thanks...was just guessing about the distances..Our country is actually lot smaller than i would think. Ha!

[Spike]

Deventer and Enschede are also good places for a Friday and Saturday night out. They both have a central square with lots of bars.

Breda is also very nice , i haven't been there in ages

[pitt]

I have been told Groningen is the easiest city in Netherlands. Is this true?

Sorry, can't tell. Only been out once there. Wasn't a success. It is a very nice city though.

I do not have a ranking what is the easiest city....but the girls who live in the south, north or east are better approachable then my part of the country. Groningen is a student city as well....lots of girls in the nightlife with low bitchshields and social manners. Groningen, Eindhoven, Breda, Nijmegen and the cities mentioned by Neil are good places for gaming.

It's not too hard...but i would not call it easy too...just have to play your cards right...like everywhere and anytime with game. They are not lying on their back waiting to filled.

Amsterdao!, interesting datasheet. I live directly on the Dutch/German border (2 minutes from the center of Sittard), in fact I have to drive through NL to get home everyday after work. Anywho, I've been here for about six months and just can't seem to figure the place out. So far I've been to Amsterdam and Rotterdam in Holland, Eindhoven, Maastricht, Roermond and other small towns all over the Limburg province. I STILL don't have a flag and it's crazy. Girls seem to have their shields up 24/7. If possible, could you give me a few reccomendations in some of the cities I've named?

Amsterdam: I've been about 4 times now, every time directly in the center not far from the Central train station. I'm beginning to hate this city. Granted I don't have much experience with the city itself, but the locals all seem to have this holier than thou attitude when you approach them on a nice place to hang out. Yes I'm a tourist per se, but I actually live in Europe!

Rotterdam: An absolutely gorgeous city. I'm hoping to meet a potential girlfriend here so I can have an excuse to come up and a place to stay. I ventured up randomly a few times, always staying near the train station but apparently this isn't anywhere near all the clubs and stuff. Would appreciate any kind of info you have on this place.

Eindhoven: I hung out here a few times near Stratumseind. Plenty of talent but I've never seen so many bitch shields. Are there other area's in the city where people hang out? Where do the immigrants party?

Maastricht: The closest of all the cities to my home. I've been about a dozen times now and don't think I've had a conversation with a single female. Again, only partied in the center. There has to be more to this city than that.

Roermond: I go to the Designer Outlets all the time. I've talked to a few girls working in the shops but it never escalates to anything more than that.

Venlo: Spole with a couple girls at the train station. Nada.

At first thought , I was wondering if Dutch girls just didn't like black guys, but I see Dutch girls with the Suriname and Aruban guys all the time. Perhaps they just don't like foreigners? Or military? I've kind of written NL off and just go to the French part of Belgium and France instead when I want to hang out. It would be awesome to not have to drive so far. Help!

PS- Skywalker, your book is pretty awesome. Bought it off the Kindle store last month.

There are black guys getting laid in Holland. That shouldn't be a problem. What kind of clothes you wear? Dutch girls don't like the oversized rapper clothes look. Keep going at it, don't give up and that flag will be yours.

Thanks for liking my book. I would appreciate a (short) review on Amazon.

[DomWasHere]

@Neil I'm a bit older (28) so more casual. A pair of Levi 508's, some Vans and a random T-shirt or Polo. Nothing extravagant, just normal, comfortable attire. And will do once I finish reading it.

[Spike]

Hahaha, i wish i was still 28. I'm 35 myself. Maybe my advice in the back of the book will help you out a bit.

[Amsterdao!]

@DomWasHere: What kind of music you like? What kind of girls you like? You are going out by yourself or with friends? Please answer and i will try to send you in the right direction.

[DomWasHere]

@Amsterdao!

-I'm more into the Hip-Hop/R&B scene.

-I like all types of girls, from Scandinavian to Nigerian. My preference is somewhere in the middle, arabic, exotic black or something along those lines.

-I'm normally going out alone as my other military friends would prefer to drive 3 hrs to Southern Germany where they can be celebrities for the night. I have a few wingmen on standby in case of emergency but 9 times out of 10, I'm alone.

[Amsterdao!]

@Dom...Another quick question: Where in Germany do you live exactly? And where in south germany are you guys treated as celebrities. I have been a few times across the border in Germany, so maybe i have some recommendations there as well.

You could say I live in Sittard, NL basically. Just on the German side of the border.

Kaiserslautern/Wiesbaden/Mainz/Nuremburg/Saarbrucken/Stuttgart, etc are some of the places they continuously hit up every weekend. I've been a couple times and can vouch that girls are super friendly/dtf. But I like the road less traveled for bragging rights as well as for hygenic reasons.

Well...that's a first. Somebody who loves Rotterdam and thinks Eindhoven is full of arrogant bitches. Ha! If think you had a hard time in Eindhoven....i can assure you girls in Rotterdam will be a real challenge

You like the hiphop scene so i will name a few in Rotterdam:
http://www.clubvie.com/
http://www.thaliarotterdam.nl/club/fotogallerij/
http://www.cinemarotterdam.nl/agenda/

Especially cinema is more upscale...so dress sharp!

Less upscale: Baja Beach Club http://www.bajarotterdam.nl/home.html

You live near Sittard so Belgium is close too...I was a weekend with friends in Hasselt, Belgium (Near Maastricht) and we wanted to go to this place: http://www.versuz.be/
They didn't let us in because we were wearing gym shoes and a group of guys. Maybe you can give it a try, because i saw some real potential waiting in the line. Dress sharp!

I went to Dortmund for a weekend and i was with my surinam friend and we visited this club:
http://www.prisma-nachterlebniswelt.de/d...index.html
A big club with some quality girls. Have to go on a fridaynight. Not too expensive. The Cab driver told us to go next time on a saturday to:
http://www.rushhour-nachtpalast.de/fotos-2
For some reason that part of germany (Ruhrgebiet-westfalen) is filled with eastern european type of girls. Maybe you and your buddies should try that one out too...150 km by car

I'm surprised, I always thought the blondes were in the North of the Netherlands...I was going to go to Groningen for meeting some blondes, I guess I'm gonna look at alternatives, lol.

Headed to the Caribbean festival in Rotterdam this weekend. Expecting greatness.

[OGNorCal707]

How is some military guys luck out and get stationed in Germany, where they can party, travel, and fuck hot Euro bitches, while others are sent to some hell hole to risk their lives like Iraq or Afghanistan? I never understood that, I'd almost joint the military if I could get posted in Germany, I know one thing though, I'd be fucking pissed if I got a leg blown off in Iraq, when there are a bunch of other military guy's dicking around and getting blown by whores in Europe and Japan.

[DomWasHere]

@OGNorCal707 Such is life. You win some, you lose some. I often think about things like this myself. I believe everything happens for a reason tho'.

[gonzoman925]

apologies to bump an old thread but, whats the verdict on the netherlands then?

is it similar to 'don't bang denmark' in that there's jante law?

similarly the quality of girls?

just asking as i have an opportunity to spend a few months there for work, so wanted to know what to expect

[mastauser]

I guess that people in other countries are not really aware of the fact, but due to the dutch colonization, a considerable part of the Netherlands is partly of Indonesian descent (Myself included, my great grandmother was a mixed blood Indonesian/Dutch woman from Sumatra).

There are two main groups of people with Indonesian descent: group one is from the bigger islands, group two from the Maluku (I think people from the Maluku don't live in other countries besides the Netherlands). People from group 2 started to mix with the Dutch later.

The results can be seen on the streets in the Netherlands: I think these mixed Indo/Dutch are among the most beautiful in the world

examples include
-georgina verbaan
-kim feenstra

Around one million of the 17 million inhabitants have 'indisch' blood.

[somebeast]

Can you please compare Groningen to Nijmegen for me?( going to study abroad)

[amity]

The Nederlands is high on my list of places to go in the next year, Rotterdam being top of my list
I love music, especially electronic, and you guys have so many great music festivals and shows, it's obscene
I've only met a handful of Dutch girls, easy to talk to and quite cultured and interesting, but getting the flag is not easy, they don't put out as easily as Germans (for instance) - not that Germans are 'easy' per se, just easier than the Dutch, in my experience
I think having a few words of Dutch, is always good, can be good as an icebreaker, particularly if your accent is terrible, it can get them laughing, and start the conversation ball rolling
