Mexico City Data Sheet

I spent the past weekend in Mexico City. Overall an amazing trip, thanks to WestCoast here and HC in this thread.

I've been waiting for a cost effective and timely opportunity to take my first solo playboy trip, and this was it. I had points stacked up and wanted to go to EDC so this weekend was perfect.

Here I'll explain what I did then I'll go into notes and observations.

First things first - yes, I am a 6'3", bearded, blonde haired, blue eyed, good looking, fit, young gringo, but no, I did not get the bang.

Pipelining: I downloaded Bluestacks and ran Tinder for a week before, using my standard Tinder BS. Got a few good leads before landing.

Accomodations: Due to cost constraints I stayed at a hostel Downtown. I had never stayed at a hostel so I framed this as part of international playboy initiation.

Field Report:

I arrived Friday, and got to the hostel around 1 PM. The hostel was weird, there were a lot of older Mexican couples and then your typical dirty backpackers, most Mexican. I didn't make any friends so I fired up WhatsApp to see where my girls were. Considering this is a weekend trip I did not purchase a SIM Card and figured I'd do it organically. I had a solid lead on this tight little 21 year old girl, who suggested we meet at Antara Fashion Hall. Antara is nice, I would definitely go back to game. Clothing prices were relatively equal to American prices. This was my only Polanco exposure, but it was good. Other posts are spot on in that there is top talent due to the upscale stores in this mall. I did not go to the Polanco clubs but would imagine them to be top notch.

I met with the girl, got a coffee, walked around the mall, then went to a bar. I was struggling on this date because we had nothing in common, at all. This was the hardest date I have ever been on, and I have much respect for guys who do this regularly. Her english was good but I had to speak slowly sometimes, and I felt that I was walking on eggshells to say something good. The walk was the best part of the date. While we were walking I had a lot of ammo based on our excursion, things we walked by that I could joke about and we'd discuss. We go to a bar, get good kino going, drink two beers. It's around 6 PM and I figure it's time to bounce to a motel or another bar. We get outside and start making out when she mentions she's supposed to meet her parents for a concert soon so she has to go. [Image: undecided.gif]

I kiss her goodbye say we should hang out Sunday. At this point I had 10% battery, and although I had girls who wanted to meet, I had no service and couldn't arrange plans. I decided to play it safe and head back to the hostel for food, battery, WiFi, and figuring out the night.

As soon as I walk in to the lobby I spot four well dressed gringos and say what's up, they all want to go out. After some pregaming I can tell they are at least somewhat game aware and want to chase pussy. Cool, we go eat dinner then go to some bar nearby, then finally head to Pata Negra. Many girls on Tinder said this was the place to be. I liked the overall vibe of this bar...somewhere between a neighborhood bar and dance club. We stayed for an hour but couldn't get into the many large groups that littered the upstairs bar. The dancefloor was mostly couples so we ditched to get tacos, then head to the nightclub Mono.

Mono is exactly what I wanted in a nightclub...off the beaten path and grungy outside. We got there around 1 AM but they still weren't open, so we ran street game and smoked some of the single cigarettes that the street vendors sell. Finally the bar opens and there is a large line to get in. Of course, in Mexico, there is no concept of "line" so it is more of a mob. After a few minutes of waiting I experience my first gringo pass when the bouncer signals towards us, "HEY! YOU GUYS! COME HERE!"

[Image: giphy.gif]

Yes, the bouncer let me and four gringos skip the giant crowd to get into the club. Now I know what it feels like to be a hot girl. The club itself was fantastic, dark, high energy, wild light show, plenty of girls to go around. All the gringos are approaching with varying success, but we are having a good time nonetheless. This is when things got weird...I'm talking to a gorgeous little piece of 19 year old ass (since the drinking age is 18 there) and first, cockblocking strikes. Multiple guys come up to me and say "oh make sure you take care of her okay bro," even "this girl...she is my cousin. She is a great girl, don't fuck up!" (the guy was not her cousin).

Then things turn for the worse when I start feeling sick, while still talking to this girl. At first I keep it cool, switch to water, and keep talking to her. I still feel sick, so I try to diagnose what went wrong. At this point I had drank lots of beer and liquors (mixing can mess me up), had local water (with ice in drinks), and dirty street tacos. All possibilities for sickness. Okay, redbeard, keep it cool, it'll pass and you'll bang this chick. Ten minutes go by and I still feel like shit, when all of the sudden I am sweating bullets, sick to my stomach. It's getting worse and I rudely interject "I'm going to the bathroom," dash to the bathroom, and rudely leave this poor girl alone. My mind is racing as I remember Roosh's horror stories of shitting himself in A Dead Bat In Paraguay. Once in the bathroom I stand over a toilet, the world spinning, but after ten minutes there is no vomit, no violent diarrhea. My sweating has stopped and I feel ready to go. "You got this." I splash some water on my face and I'm back in the game.

It's now 3:30 AM...everybody has struck out, I lost the girl I was with, and I still didn't feel 100%. We head back in and crash at the hostel.

Saturday was EDC...not much to report except that girls love the gringo beard. I did not hit the bars after because EDC ended around 2:30 AM. Returning back to the hostel I had my second gringo pass incidence when my cab driver convinced the police to let us down a closed road because I was American.

For EDM fans, my EDC MX one-day ticket was ~$60, whereas EDC Las Vegas runs ~$350 for 3-day pass. I will probably be returning next year.

Sunday I wanted to recharge my mental/physical/social batteries, so I walked from the hostel to Paseo de la Reforma all day. It was beautiful, the walking combined with multiple 1,5 L bottles of water helped fight my hangover. I opened a few sets, there was good talent at Reforma 222, another outdoor mall that had Zara among other stores. The girl from Friday was on her period and was shy about it so we didn't meet.

Notes & Observations

Girls: Overall, as expected, extremely receptive to my gringo game. Mexican stereotypes are true, they are all short and fat, so the young ones see me and are wildly interested. Multiple girls commented on "I feel safe with such a big man" or "I've never kissed a man with a beard before."

It seemed that the more english a girl spoke...the more she was interested. I'm not sure if this is some cultural thing, where they learn english in school, or become more comfortable around Americans, but it was night and day if a girl spoke english or not. Some spanish speaking girls would just say "no hablo" and glare at me until I walked away. I always approached in English, as per an old Roosh post.

The sets I had success with, even though I didn't bang, were a breath of fresh air. They were easy going, nice, followed my lead, did not disrespect me, curse, or say anything negative. Whenever I escalated to a level of kino, they would follow suit and keep contact, reaching for my hand or kissing me unprompted.

It seems most of the attractive girls were 18-21, skinny and cute 7 or 8's, no real stunners. Maybe once they hit 23 they get fat. I imagine all of the top girls are at Polanco, so I will be exploring there more next time.

Cost: Everything was cheap as shit. The following is in pesos/mexican dollars, which is currently about 17 peso = 1 USD.

Johnnie Walker Red/Black at bars - $90-$110
Cab ride anywhere around town - $50 to $200
All meals - $75 - $200
3 L of water at Circle K - $5
Mono Cover Charge - $150
Four beers on date near Antara - $20

Crime: I felt safe the entire time. Mexico City is a true metropolis, there are always people around. More importantly, there are always police around. I don't mean Paul Blart mall cops, the Policia are in full body armor with automatic weapons, riot shields, and ammo belts. They are on patrol at all hours. As a general rule of thumb, if you avoid empty streets, you should be fine. Major streets will have citizens or police at all times, and if it's late, take a cab everywhere. The only time I felt worried was in the crowds, especially after a pick-pocketer scored iPhones from not only the girl I was holding hands with, but also my gringo wingman. After that I kept everything front pocket.

Before this trip I bought one of these tactical flashlights (hat tip to MikeCF). It got through customs both ways and multiple pat downs throughout the weekend. Some security thought it was a knife, but after flicking it on they just gave me strange expressions and returned it. The light is bright as fuck and I recommend it to anyone for security.

Cabs: A few people warned me about the cabs hiking up prices, or going in circles to jack up the fare. I didn't notice this, or at least they only added a 20 peso gringo tax. [Image: tard.gif]

Air Pollution: On par with major cities, probably NYC (haven't been in two years so I can't say). The air wasn't clean but it wasn't India.

Things I would do differently:

-Get a cell phone. T-Mobile offers coverage throughout Mexico, USA, and Canada, so I'll probably get an Android Burner in the states so I can pipeline and use What's App when in Mexico. It was relaxing not having notifications 24-7, but it's hard to coordinate plans when you have to duck into WiFi.
-Learn more Spanish
-Bring more Quest Bars and ACV, my bag was barely checked
-Stay in a hostel but get a private room, win-win situation
-Stay longer, actually daygame some, and hit Polanco nightclubs

Overall I had a blast and will be returning, with the lessons learned from this first playboy expedition.

It just confuses me even more. Do people agree with me when I say that the Mexico data on the forum is completely all over the map and makes very little sense? Most of the guys on here who visit Miami get destroyed or at least struggle. I don't completely understand it, but at least there is some consistency there. The Mexico stuff has nothing remotely resembling consistency.

In all cases, this one especially, there are millions of factors that determine if a guy got laid during a trip. Beginner travelers, like myself, can easily mess up.

For example, if you look at some of the Mexico City data, it's clear Condesa is hip and Polanco is upscale. What if a guy made the mistake of staying in Polanco but his game isn't suited to upscale? He wouldn't get laid, and would smear the city. But - we all know that this could have been avoided by going to Condesa.

In my case, there are a many reasons why I didn't get laid -

-Didn't pipeline hard
-No cell phone
-Only went to bars 1 night, and only for a few hours
-Did not actively daygame
-Short trip

Despite all of this, I had a great time and received a lot of positive attention from women. Will it be good for you? I don't know, get to know me and my game/lifestyle, read the report, and make the decision for yourself.

This is why it's important to post full write-ups, to determine if the city would actually be good for you. Lima, Peru was trashed on the forum for years, but recent reports from Cr33pin and others speak highly of the city. When you combine high variability (of getting laid) with low volume of data (few men on this forum), it's easy to see why reports can be all over the place.

Think about it this way - if the girl I met off Tinder on Friday wasn't on her period, and I banged her on Sunday, what would you think of CDMX?

If there's one fact in this report, it's that Mexican chicks are still blowing me up on Tinder and Whatsapp. I will be back with a vengeance [Image: banana.gif]

^ I fully support Redberds datasheet and observations.

Mexico City is awful for online or Tinder game. Its mostly a waste of time with unlimited competition for men and an endless stream of options for her. Plus, distances and timing are a constant factor in DF that plays against us (guys with game and time to game) so even with a girl interested and attracted (or even if youve had sex before) it could be weeks or even months before you actually meet up. So, as Ive told other guys, stay away from Tinder if you are staying in Mexico City for just a couple of weeks.

Use it for pipelining though, so you have at least 10-20 numbers upon landing. and use those numbers as a backup, but rely on cold-approaching, instadating, and club game during your trip.

Polanco is nice, but it is pretty upscale. Now, the really upscale crowd does not lives or works on Polanco proper. The Polanco crowd is in a tight knit social group that cares about reputation and appearances, and would be a though circle to crack in one or two weekends. So then what would be left would be the pretentious assholes that can afford Polanco prices but are actually the wannabe sons of corrupt government officials or the newly rich.

And its location isolates it from the other areas to be, making it more difficult for girls to come tou you (actually, impossible for them during the 3-4 daily rush hours) and more expensive for you to go anywhere or bring a girl back to your place. For a first time visitor, id recomend a place in or around the Roma-Condesa axis. Im curious to find out where your hostel was and what where their rates.

Chilangos tend to be distrustful and dickish to other chilangos but are mostly and usually nice and helpful to out of towners and specially towards foreigners. The fun loving, friendly, hugging and toasting stereotype of the mexicans worldwide was stablished by tourists that had a good time in Mexico City.

Im brown (though not your stereotype mexican by being tall and bearded) and usually get small passes (like a cop waving me past the turnstile at the subway) just by using a different accent. About the line at the club, that is a particular thing with that club. Chilangos make lines for everything, and are very belligerant with those who cut in line. Joke is that if you stand still on a DF sidewalk youll have a line behind you in a minute, though very few clubs use lines or wating lists and recur to the ol' bouncer pointing hot chicks out method.

A cities particular experience would be quite opposite not just to different players but to the same man if you change just a couple small details. You could have ended up back in your room with the hot chick or with a case of the runs. Its important to write reports as detailed as possible so that the discerning player can decide whether to risk it or not. I myself wouldnt go to LIma based on forum recomendation alone, but ive also seen reports trashing DF and its a city id recommend fully.

Red,

It's DF for god's sakes, not CDMX.

CDMX is some gubbmint scheme to rebrand the city. I guess I'm just used to calling it DF for years, or as Mexicans say...."Mexico".

-------------------------------------------------------

Get a AirBNB next time or a hotel. You're a foreign professional, staying at a hostel spooks the Polanco girls out. Why would this successful fun guy stay at such a run down place?

Classism and brand whoring runs deep in Mexico. Real deep. Like 30 niggas rollin' deep.

Great job with your shirts though, the label on it tells hos "he's got $$$". That Gucci belt that we talked about a while back would have been a pussy magnet.

@germanico -

Great Polanco insights. I wish WestCoast and Hen would chime in...they seem to have had good Polanco experiences. I don't think I'd do well, even if I come with a fat bankroll.

I stayed at a hostel a few blocks from Zócalo square, and paid $12/night. The location was busy, but as I said it was far from the pussy hotspots. Staying here wasn't a big mistake but my use of Google Maps was poor. I looked up places to go and judged the distance from the hostel in "miles," thinking it would only take a few minutes to go a while...nope! I should have done by time and seen that it takes half an hour to get anywhere good. Rookie mistake.

Next time, I will stay directly in Condesa, in an apartment, and troll the streets 24/7 looking for impressionable girls to drag back to my cave.

@Rustler

The brainwashing and branding is working! The pink "CDMX" letters are fucking everywhere. I used DF to seem local and girls corrected me.

I for one use "#CDMX" when tagging pics.

Zocalo is a good place to stay. Not the best place to game tho, although there are decent options. Theres an "International Youth Hostel" right behind the Cathedral that caters to the european backpacking crowd. Id use that one if id had to stay in a hostel.

Gravity in Polanco is probably the best place to hit on the hiso frescas. It's pretty upscale, but lots of beautiful women, some of the hottest I've seen in the city. I've never found it difficult to penetrate the social groups there. I usually roll solo, and suit up for this venue. Mexican dudes are pretty friendly to foreigners from my experience.

Formula for nightgame success in any city:

-Suit up.
-Speak a common language.
-Roll dolo.
-Go to where the hot chicks are.
-Be friendly to other dudes, and specially so towards alphas or other players.

Good list pretty much sum it up. Although You forgot one.

-Don't be so cheap.

That includes tipping bartenders, bouncers, washroom guy. All the way to the concierge in the hotel. This went very far in D.F and also Lima for me.

Not so much in Manila however..

Redbeard, i give you props for going with only a few days of pregaming. I've been to Mexico city multiple times now and can tell you sometimes it's honestly just the luck of the draw. One trip i had sex with 4 girls in 2 days. Another trip I didn't get shit for almost a week. Definitely day game like Germanico recommended. I guarantee you those girls will be more likely to meet up then tinder chicks with 600+ matches.

Again, yourself and other first timers, just get a pad on airbnb in la condesa. It's great training grounds for first timers with a shit ton of women walking around. Starbucks is a beehive of hot bored chicks. Take your iPhone in there and play the lost gringo card.

I appreciate it. Looking back I greatly underestimated two things:

1. The gringo factor. This being my first time out of the states, I had no idea how receptive they were going to be. I didn't believe all the hype but damn...I stood out so much.

2. My game, which has been developed around American College girls. I think I've "cracked the code" with them, and being young, I haven't dated too much variety. I was afraid of getting blown out, especially since my language skills are sub optimal.

Now I have that experience, and even after one weekend of exploration I feel more abundant. Reminds me of this article. If there's any unexperienced young guys out here thinking about going on a trip...just do it.

Thats because the game of the guys who come here has nothing resembling consistency.

Read Henc's datasheet. He got the bang hours after landing, but his game is thight (I saw him in action), the guy suited up and did his homework by researching where to stay and where to go. It took me months to crack this city and I was at it 24/7 and even had the guidance of long-time Mex City players.

But what I realized is that the city divides and multiplies your game. If your game is 0, the result will always be zero. But, if you have a decent number there, the result could be astronomically high. or astronomically low. Ive seen guys who have incredibly tight online game pipeline for months and get the bang minutes after landing with the girl they had pick them off at the airport, and Ive seen guys whose street game sucks, retreat to Tinder game from their hotel room and get nothing.

Ive met players from the forum and from Mexicos own PUA community in DF and most of them lack the ability to calibrate, to fine tune their game. Ive met from the real life IRT who swore mexican women are racist and rejected him for his skin colour (bitch please...) to the quiet, serious guy who had a live in girlfriend and still managed to bag the girl after we swiped targets half hour before last call. (You know who you are, dude, you never told me what happened with the girl in the white dress after I left...)

With Mexico City you get what you bring. Hencs played his status as a foreigner to get instant celebrity status, while the IRT will swear that mexicanas are racist till the day he dies.

You get guys who come from Bumfuck, Illinois coming here and expecting to get laid just by being blond, guys who stay for a weekend, stay inside the range of their hotels wi-fi, stick to Tinder, and claim that Mexicanas no put el outo because of Catholiscm and Family Values©. The guys who stay in the cheapest hotel downtown and say that DF is dangerous at night, the guys who cant be bothered with learning 3 words in spanish and say that girls in Mexico just ignore you or that they are very though to approach. The guys who go to the TGI Fridays next to their corporate hotel on a Tuesday and say that clubs in Mexico suck.

Ive seen them all, and their game sucked. Not the city, the city has whatever you need or want. Want a jewish princess from Polanco or a red headed irish from Coyoacán, we have them. Want a true blooded aztec quetzali, we have them by the millions, as we have anarchist feminist blue haired lesbians, religious motherly mothers of your future childs, unemployed good for nothings, scholarly hipereducated doctorates-by-25's, fresh-off-the-bus corn-raised chilanga out of towners who actually think white people are gods and the foreign expatriate who fell in love with mexican dick. If you like daygaming cold approaches, theres plenty. If you prefer solo nightgaming at upscale clubs, theres plenty of that too.

Mexico City is the place where anything you could imagine could happen, if you make it happen. Anything. The sheer enormity of a 25 million head count and the laberynthine nature of mexican society means that in the same block you could find a delirict, crumbling apartment unit inhabited by squatters and the Hall of the Mexican Senate. On one corner you could have a newly built marble faced office building and on the next an "autonomous" housing bloc that doubles as a crack cookhouse. Yall have no idea how crazy and beautiful this mess of a city is.

I went to Mexico City for 3 1/2 days during the time that the Pope was visiting the City (Valentine’s Day weekend) but am just now getting to writing about my experience because I’ve been so busy with work. [Image: dodgy.gif]

Logistics:
2 nights private room at Hostel Condesa Chapultepec Privanza in Condesa – Relatively cheap but the property manager was a very shady guy who kept trying to scam me out of more money. They also charge an additional fee if you bring over guests.
2 nights Hotel Embassy Roma Norte – For the cheap price the room was decent and they offer a late check out. However the staff at the front desk is incredibly rude and unaccommodating if you don’t speak English.
Roma Norte/Condesa are probably the best spots to stay in Mexico City. It’s close to a lot of the best night life and a short walk or Uber/cab ride to everything.

General People:
On the whole, the regular people out and about during the day time are not approachable or friendly at all to gringos. The City is extremely massive and fast paced (like a New York City). Drivers will not yield to pedestrians and will literally run you over without as much as a second thought. Restaurant workers are reluctant to take your order or give you any kind of decent service if you don’t speak Spanish. Basically, nobody has any interest in assisting you with any day to day activities if you can’t speak some Spanish. It was so bad that the women at the front desk had no interest in checking me in to my hotel simply because I could not complete my reservation and payment in complete Spanish. I also had incidents in stores where people would just cut right in front of me while I was trying to pay for my items.[Image: whip.gif]

The one glaring exception are the Uber Drivers. The Uber Drivers provide the best Uber service I’ve ever witnessed. They are obsessed with getting a good rating and will go to great lengths to make you happy.

Currency:
Almost no business accepts US Dollars, despite it being the world’s reserve currency. In fact, they seem almost offended if you try and pay with US dollars. You have to convert your money to pesos.

Food:
I was very careful about what I ate and drank. I did not eat any street food and only ate minimal amounts of food from reputable restaurants and drank bottled water. Nevertheless I ended up horribly sick for almost two weeks following my return to the U.S. and had to visit the doctor.[Image: confused.gif]

Girls:
The girls walking around on the street are generally unattractive. They have a very indigenous look to them (dark skin, short and fat). However, the girls that go out to the bars/clubs at night are typically lighter skinned and more attractive.
This was the highlight of the trip and the primary reason why I or any of you will likely be traveling to Mexico City. To go off of what Germanico said, cold approaching and club/bar game definitely works. The women for the most part seemed very receptive to gringos. The women were mostly friendly and receptive to the idea of being approached. I never faced any sort of hostility. With that said, you really have to be able to do the following two things to really have any success:
(1)Speak some Spanish
(2)Dance

It’s hard to communicate with the girls and they will lose interest if you don’t make some attempt to speak Spanish. Secondly, the culture seems very fixated on dancing, so you have to be able to dance a bit to escalate things or she will likely lose interest too.

In summary, the girls might look at you a bit and are very open to being approached if YOU initiate the approach. However they don’t seemed so intrigued by gringos to the point where just because you’re a gringo they will hook up with you. You still very much have to make the effort and lead.

A lot of them don’t seem to want to hook up right away, but rather meet up with you the next day and go out on date with you to better feel you out. This can be nice though because it gives you someone to hang out with during the day. Then at night, you spend that time searching for new girls.

Venues:
Pata Negra – This spot is a legit place to meet girls and have a good time if you’re a gringo. But I cannot stress enough that you have to arrive early. Otherwise it’s probably not worth going at all. The place gets incredibly cramped, hot a sweaty. Most of the girls have long been picked off if you have arrive after 11:30PM on the weekends.

Gin Gin – This place makes good cocktails and is a nice place to start the night but I would NOT recommend staying here very long. It’s a very cliquey crowd and most women just sit down at a table amongst themselves. It makes it practically impossible to approach. If you do any you fail, you will be doing a pretty embarrassing walk of shame.

Main Room – Not a bad night club venue but it opens very late (12pm or later). It probably is not worth waiting that late to get your night started just to come here or to leave your current venue if you are ALREADY having a great time.

Attractions:
Torre Latino – Great place to take a date. Amazing view of the city.
Museo Soumaya – Free museum in Polanco with some nice art.
Anthropology Museum – The best museum I have ever been to. It is massive and the exhibits are incredible. There are also a lot of very attractive women walking around the museum.
On Sundays there is a street fair close to the Palacio de Bellas Artes. They might do it on other days as well. This is a great place to meet girls or bring a date.

Conclusions:
Mexico City is a massive city that is quite intimidating if you’re traveling alone and don’t speak much Spanish. With that said though, I definitely would like to come back. Overall, I had a very favorable impression of the women during my night outing approaches. I would like to expand my selection of venues that I go to for night game. It would also be great if I could meet up with some of the guys on this forum who are more experienced with the lay out of the City.

Are there any recommendations for night venues on Mondays - Wednesdays?
Right now I have the impression, that nightlife goes only from Thu - Fr.

It's not the easiest place to get a bang the first day. When I first started going to DF, it took me day 2 but mostly day 3s to get the bang.

But once I got past day 3 it was golden.

This might deserve its own thread. In my whole lifetime of traveling, I very, very rarely have gotten the bang the first day. The only time I remember doing so was the first day I ever set foot in California. There have to have been other times. Definitely day two and day three. What I now do is add two days to every trip and spend the first two days just resting and getting to know the city. This is especially good if a city is completely new to me or if I haven't been there for a while (two months ago, I went to Santo Domingo for the first time since 2009).
