I am half black and half white (light skinned black) and had tons of success with Italian girls in Italy. I have success with girls pretty much everywhere I go. but in Italy I definately had the exotic factor. I am very muscular 6'0, 215lbs (10% BF) so I stood out and was much more defined than any other italian guy around. This instanly got me tons of attention at the beaches/ generally everywhere. Again I can't stress the importance of game. Good game can overcome anything. Italian girls in my opinion do like black men (who are handsome) because they watch tons of American movies, music ect... and see all these cool, attractive black guys that are not commnoly found in Italy. So when they see an attractive Black American they immediately associate you with athletic/cool/actor/hip hop artist ect... This also applies ot Italian men who generally wanted to befriend me since they assumed I was cool (I am).
Its important for minorities to not create negative self beliefs about race when travelling, this will only become a self fulfilling professy. I only see the positives and ignore all negatives. Were there girls who didn't like me because I am black? Probably, but I never attribute this to be the reason, i would only associate rejection with lack of game or technique. However, there were distinct situations where being a minority allowed me to get approach inviations and even be approached.
In terms of English. All Italians learn English in school so they know it to some extent. The levels will vary between individuals. However, most Italians don't like speaking English and won't unless they feel comfortable with you, so you have to know the basics of Italian to get your foot in the door before you can try to transition to English.
In regards to Italian men not getting Italian girls thats just ridiculous. Of course they get italian pussy. Italian guys have it easy in my opinion. There is such an abundance of girls who are 8+ that most guys have hot girlfriends by default. There game is based on social circles as was mentioned above and pick up culture doesn't exist much in Italy. This can be an advantage for the pick up artist as girls will not be expecting you to pick them up. You should have seen the reactions some of the girl's friends had when they learned I met them in the street but if you do this naturally they forget how you met all together.
Lastly, Italian girls are easy as hell to talk to. Most of them will give you the time of day and even befriend you. Getting them to fuck you is another challenge. I've found that you need to get the logistics taken care of first and then go for gold once you have "tricked them" into coming back to your place. On the other hand, you may get a girl who is down and wants to be a SNL, it all depends. If you do enough approaches you will find the SNL's, however, the hottest girls are tough to get an SNL with, they require dating/ weasle moves to pull.
I do agree with Nikolai. If you are an AMERICAN or non-African black, you can succeed in Italy. Let's be clear, I do agree with Lobbywin that being black is not a positive for gaming purposes in Italy. It does not give you a net advantage. Black and Arabs are at the lower rungs of society there and it did not seem like they were treated too well. But if by your style or your interaction with the Italian girls they come to know that you are an American, I found that they were much more receptive to you than they would otherwise.
Gaming at night in Italy was much harder because social circle game ruled all the joints I visited in Torino. However, during the day my interactions with the Italian girls were more or less very pleasant. I am an African-American, and I assure you that that was not an impediment in Italy once the girls realized that I was not from Africa.
The example of a Brazilian guy
with no game failing in Italy does not say anything about what a non-African brother
with game and style can do in Italy. I can't stress this enough.
I also agree with Nikolai that if you are buff, your chances with Italian women would greatly improve. Unlike Paris where I saw a few buff guys, none of the men I saw in Italy were so. So if you can differentiate yourself that way and stress this competitive advantage, I believe it would go a long way in easing your chance of getting that flag.
Like I said on the Milano post, I believe to game Italian women you should (1) try to be part of one or more social circles, (2) Pipeline some initial potentials, (3)
know game and daygame the hell out of the plethora of 8+ girls you will see walking by, and (4) just as I have said now, work out and buff up as much as possible.
It follows from what I said that if you don't have game your chances of success to get that Italian flag would be very low, or at least much lower, ceterus paribus, than in other places. So as someone pointed out in the Milano thread, Italy may thus not be worth it in terms of ROI for the average joe. We can then all probably agree that Italy is
not a poosy paradise and
no one killz it there. However, the sheer amount of very pretty faces I saw there, would definitely make an extended stay in Italy very much worth it to me.
