I spent a couple of weeks in Mendoza and to put it softly i don't trust any of the hype. The local guys and students of other argie cities told me that the mendocina has a rotten fame, strong entitlement and materialism.
In fact most of the foreigners and argentineans from other cities that i met complained about how bitchy and picky where the girls compared with Buenos Aires or Cordoba.
My experience match with that, you would find that most of the hot girls all taken by long relationships, girls are not really into dating guys outside their social circle (even less they think about fucking a random guy), and have so many people offering them the D that new guys approaching them are just like a plague. They will be curious about foreigners, but they don't see them sexually. Guys are not the most friendly people either.
I met some french guys that where changing hot girlfriends every month, but they where really wealthy and well connected. Besides i would say french guys are the only group that is making it decently with the alternative girls who have a romantic view of them, even the broken ones.
This isn't actually the worst place i have been, in my experience, lots of small cities or towns in Latin America have the same wall for visitors (in argentina it seems harde by the strong thirst and agresiviness of the local men). Far away the oasis that people say. It's like what somebody posted about southern cities in spain. Beautiful traditional girls. But you are just going to get the eyecandy, their sexuality is repressed socially and got guys working on them hard since high school. I got laid with 2 girls in those weeks. But those where chicks who digged
Anyway if you decide to go would love to read your datasheet.

Two girls in two weeks in Argentina is excellent. Going undefeated or close to it is for places like the Philippines, or for me, Costa Rica. Two girls in two weeks there is better than about 99% of other guys will do. Getting blanked in two months or something, while putting in tons of effort, would be a cause for concern.

I forgot to finish that paragraph. Those where chicks who digged foreigners, not very atractive, better than the average philippina for sure.
But when you see 8s everywhere and you realize that you did all that effort just to get an average girl you just feel kinda pissed off. That considering i spent exactly 3 weeks and i was going out at night 3 days a week. Daygamed the first week a lot too while figuring out the city. Until i stopped because i wasn't even going anywhere, not even fake numbers lol. Coming from cities where i wasn't even trying so hard getting at least some smiles and numbers every 20 approaches, it didn't seem good at all. For sure i'm not used to have a hot new women everyweek because i usually have very high standards, but i really took it WAY more seriously there than in other places i have been.

Where are you from? Do you speak spanish? Do girls ever approach you in your home country?
Entitled and bitchy girls? Sounds just like home!
Anyway i will be there in the next couple of days if anyone wants to meet.

I'm from a country in central america. Fluent spanish, light skin. That is a weird question buy yeah, i have been approached a couple of times. it is not common though. I think a smile or a deep look is the way women approach in Latin America, and they do it fairly often. Barely happens in Argentina.
It has been said that being latino crush your chances here, i think in Argentina your nationality doesn't favour or damage you a lot unless you are french, i haven't saw a swed guy with an argie or a british, and believe me, there are a lot of them, the combination is usually reverse, argie guy with swedish/british/any foreign girl. I went with some white blonde british guys and i can say for what i saw that they didn't do better than me.
Most of the people in that city (who not very wealthy) are mestizos, but the median and upper class are composed mostly by whites. So white foreigners don't stand up too much when going after this last demographic (who are the hotter), maybe they are taller, but that's it. And i wouldn't go to the low classes spots either, it comes with drama, guys being agressive, witnessing robberies, girls trying to make us buy them drinks, etc. I was able to get through that by having some cultural awareness, my british friends where completly ignorant of what was going on a lot of times.
I see that in your profile it says that you are from Africa. Some girls have tell me about how black guys are very desired and always being approached by girls. I saw some dominicans in a club the other day and they where in a corner lonely or with fat girls. So i really can't tell how true it is. I hope you tell us.

Dog24, where did you go? I guess what you say can be true if you go to the hip places. I would classify high class argie guys in three categories:
-Average Facundo: This guy has money but doesn't stand up, he plays videogames and dress a t-shirt and jeans.
-Hipster Cami:
-Rugbier Matias: This are big guys who even if they have money, are known for going apeshit for the most stupid reasons.
If you went to a hip place, chances are you where seeing more hipster Cami's.
It is true that smooth talking is important, it is called "chamuyo", if you are too evident hitting in someone you will be called out. Most of the success that i had here was becoming somewhat more passive. As girls are used to guys trying to fuck them all the time, the skilled guys tend to avoid being so evident, you still aproach but is a more social approach, you don't escalate until she has showed some interest, that is the reason a smooth"chamuyo" is important. It allows you to show value and see who is baiting instead of acting like another horny guy. But i think argie girls are the most visual girls in Latin America. I haven't met a good chamuyero that wasn't handsome to begin with.

¡Che chabón! Sí es importante que aprendas Lunfardos si vas a ir a Buenos Aires.
I was there for a week in March and I met some people that I'd been talking to on whatsapp. Without a doubt knowing some of the local language and "gestos" helped. Don't just use standard boring spanish, call her flaca or boluda to tease her, she'll laugh and feel more comfortable.
I'm planning on returning to Argentina in November for a month and I bought a book full of Argentine expressions called ¡Che Boludo! A gringos guide to understanding the Argentines by James Bracken. It's funny and good source of slang for those headed there.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how a 30 year old stoner-ish Spanish speaking American of average looks might fare in this gold mine...?

Agreed, I definitely wouldn't use boluda or flaca with a girl I don't know really well. You're just going to sound either offensive, try hard or goofy if you're misusing the slang. Unfortunately argies suck at English for the most part so you have to actually have decent enough Spanish for fluid/non-boring communication or you will have unlimited 15 minute convos to nowhere.

Great info in this thread, thanks all. I’ll bump for an upcoming trip to Cordoba..
I have a mini-sabbatical this Spring and was looking for a spot in LatAm to polish up my Spanish with formal training/immersion. Argentina probably isn’t the best travel-training value (inflation?), but it has a certain amount of mystery and I like that with recent political events it’s ‘un país en transición.’
I’m planning a month in Cordoba to attend classes before moving on to Mendoza/BA for another month. Admittedly my game could use work; my intermediate Spanish is at a better level. I understand Cordoba to be a university town, but as a late-30s man night-gaming the undergrad demographic might require too much effort with little return. So the plan is to daygame approach the grad student/professional 26-33 y/o range with some form of ‘successful foreigner/Arg culture admirer’ game and adjust as needed.
Just a quick TY to Carolinian for recommending ‘Che Buldo!’ Another good slang-vocab book I found at the library is ‘Streetwise Spanish’ (2001).
I have just a few questions for the group:
-How much is the ‘VOS’ form used in Arg? Is it too weird to just address ppl with the usted version before switching to tu (i.e. skip VOS altogether)?
-Any recent ARG travelers – have you had to pay tariffs on any personal use items in your luggage (Cigs/cell phone), or otherwise had to deal with Airport customs?
-What does a month-long gym membership cost in Cordoba? Any recommendations?
-Is basketball popular in the area? Where’s the best spot to find a pick-up game?
