Scandinavians and Brits are generally good friends.

I also second the guy who said Asians. Particulary China, I have found them to be loyal and good people to rely on.

[Laner]

Us Canadians have it good.

We make friends easy with Americans. I would say the easiest.

But I would say we have almost as much in common with Australians. I was shocked at how similar the overall feel of the countries were, especially due to the complete opposite types of geography.

We are British for the most part though, and for being so far removed I find it easy to make friends with them.

For non Anglo countries, my tight group consists of Austrian, Czech, Swedish, Norwegian, French, German, Chinese, Japanese.

America is like the black sheep brother that used to wear leather biker coats, smoke grits, wear boots with cuffed jeans, drink, fuck, fight and scare the other siblings, so they kicked him out of the house. Then he built and empire, and now all the kids wanna be cool like him.

Canada, OZ, and the U.K. are our little brothers, and France is our lezzie feminist butch older sister.

[Giovonny]

Africans are great friends, usually.

I also like Greeks, Middle Easterners and people from the American South.

I always found Germans to be really good friends, they may not be that out going and gregarious at first but if you make a German friend, its a friendship that will last, very solid people.

What is your opinion of Russians/Ukrainians as friends?

Most of the Ukrainians I knew who weren't hot chicks ended up trying to borrow money off me, like several hundred bucks; or tried to get me to go into biz ventures. They didn't push it when I declined however. I think they thought that many of us from 1st world have hundreds of thousands in cash.

[Christian McQueen]

Whatever country I'm in.

I have friends from a variety of different races/cultures and the only core foundation that each one of them have that I value in friendship is:

-Loyalty
-Go getters

Disloyalty is the snake who's head I'll stomp into the ground.

[DirectDanger]

Having spent most of the past decade living outside of my home country (USA), when I look back at the lasting friendships that I still keep it is mostly with American guys. I don't know if it is that American guys are actually good friends or if since I am also American I just tend to get along with them more.

Countries I find guys I get along with well...
Canadians
Brits
South Africans
Scandinavians


When I find another American guy outside the USA who is under 50, well travelled, and has a location independent job, there is a good chance I am going to be friends with him.

I could be totally wrong, of course.

Not everyone that speaks Russian in New York is indeed Russian.

I found Australians surprisingly aloof, Canadians are awesome.

There's a lot of new money Russians that can be abrasive & annoying I've noticed throughout my work/leisure travels also pointed out by a German friend too. Some irritating ones in NY/Vegas I've met, but the gals are pretty down in nightlife settings if playing your cards right.

Russians in my city are semi-Americanized & happy to be here so are therefore much more outgoing, open-minded, and the gals will give cultured guys the time & day.

One Polish gal warned me about them being "fucked up people" while urging me not to visit Russia...though I'm still going to St. Petersburg in two weeks lol.

South Africans are solid as they come. My family is huge into old school Big Game and they do reciprocals with private game reserves in SA. The guys I meet are straight up, loyal, and have no fear. 8/10 would friendzone.

America has always been this way. Going on its own, bucking the system. Its its best quality, one Canada should learn more of.

And France is not the older butch lezzie. She is the cute, helpless younger sister who collects daisies and takes candy from strangers.

^ follow the hate it reveals the truth!

An old hook up of mine told me how much I would "hate shady Colombian women" LOL was just straight up jealousy/competition

Still keep up with a gal from Belo Horizonte that I was only manage to get a makeout with & no bang (pipeline for future dates...). When asking her about Vitoria/Gurapari with what I've read on this forum, she told me to not waste my time while visiting Rio and Salvador, Bahia.

That can only mean go to Vitoria, lol.

[WestCoast]

^ yep. When I land in a country my go to move is to find a 6-7, when I know I have a new friend at minimum the second day I ask "so what places do you like in the city/country" then I go to the bathroom and jot them all down crossing them off the list.

If you want to be a real psycho, do this a second time at a medium level bar. Flash some cash (they hate this) and then ask the low end guy not getting the tip for places to go. He will also steer you wrong.

Win win.

Sometimes avoiding landmines is just as good as Internet research hahaha!

[DVY]

ha, ask the backpackers where to go and you'll be pleasantly suprised. You can either pick up really good marijuana or find some low-maintenance sluts that like foreign D. Compared to backpackers, you'll be the big kahuna.

I have a couple of good Ukrainian friends with whom I stay in touch and I must say that overall, most people I met there during my travels were pretty cool.

[bojangles]

yeah got to add the Saffas, loyal motherfuckers, even the racist ones.

[lush1]

Germany. Germans are very straightforward people.

Ha! I've often thought of things in a similar way, but see it as more like UK is the older brother that watched his little squirt of a brother grow up, taught him about girls and the facts of life etc. That little brother grew up to be a big alpha fucker and now the UK is getting old and and bald and has piddly problems, looking on at his young sibling in his prime with envious pride

Butyrka Prison, Moscow, Russia

The largest central transit prison of Moscow is known for its brutality. It held 20,000 inmates during the Great Purge and thousands of them were executed after investigations. Its administration also resorted to violence every time the inmates tried to protest against anything. Besides the problem of overcrowding, as there could be up to 100 inmates in cells intended only for 10 people, it is extremely hot in the summer and also has problems with epidemics such as AIDS and tuberculosis.

At least you'll be in Russia - hot chicks there. Not sure if there are any in the prison.

Especially there.

I was lucky to avoid prison. I know and understand the mentality that leads a man to prison.

I would first volunteer to be a prison therapist/counselor/spiritual advisor as well as coach boxing.

I would also help prepare food and sporting events.

I have been inside prisons as a part of an exhibition basketball team.

I could relate to them and they could relate to me.

[samsamsam]

I was joking if you were put into the prison population itself.

But I do respect what you said about what you would do.

[shotgun]

German guys are great. Very friendly.

Actually, I feel sorry for them for being stuck with the most unpleasant and boring of female species: the German woman. Oh well... at least they have this country that starts with a P across the border.

[Vicious]

Oh wait... YMG means "friends"!

Then San Francisco is the best bet.

South Africans are some of the fakest people on this planet, really good at stabbing you behind your back. Actually, I never heard anything good about them, I don't know what is worse, a German or a south African.
