Continuing on the hype-busting theme, I wanted to share the main way you can tell hype from the real thing. It works not only on this forum but with guys who hype in person as well.
The universe has a way of balancing things out. Even pussy paradises will have their downsides that can be quite significant. The main way to identify hype is when a guy completely omits any negative features of a location.
Even in Poland, a place I've lavished much praise on, I have not hesitated to tell you of the butterface problem. The truth is that Polish girls get smoked in most Eastern European countries.
We have a user who has hyped Sweden to the moon for black guys. But I don't remember him discussing the high cost of Sweden... the obesity problem... the unsexy hipster style... the social circle barriers. While the positives he stated may very be true, not taking the negatives into account makes the place seem a lot better than it is. It distorts the actual reality and is therefore a lie.
We have also had a lot of discussion on Finland. There was some excitement about its easiness, but guys tempered that when discussing the high cost and also the masculine vibe of the girls. This created a balanced picture that was not hype and matched very well with my experience there.
This rule can also apply to individual game. 99% of guys have to make adjustments when going into a new country, but if a guy is saying he did amazing right off the airplane, without putting in much effort of having to adapt, something is probably off. The odds of being a perfect match for a country is very low. I'm sure it happens, but skepticism is in order.
When you read a guy hyping up a place, ask him for the negatives. Ask him what logistical problems he's encountering. If he can't answer truthfully, he's hyping and should be chased out of the board.
