I have an account on Vietnam Cupid. Most of the user base is "average" to "cute" to some are "attractive". It isn't an endless line of smoke shows. Keep in mind that the most attractive women in any country aren't going to be online. You need social circle game in any country to access that level. Vietnam is no exception from what I can tell.

What percentage of the girls on VC are bots or fakes?

[NerdyNomad]

Seems like the other cupids, for the most part the girls are legit, but VC seems to have a higher amount of fakes. You'll see the weirdest stuff written in girl's profiles, stuff that just doesn't make any sense. Maybe some idiot writes their profiles for them and they are real. It's hard to say.

But while for most of the cupids, the talent is very poor, the talent is decent on VC (assuming 70% of the good ones are real). Another negative is that many of the girls don't speak a high level of english.
If you do sign up, I recommend only buying one month.

Fwiw, I plan on going to Vietnam for the first time in Jan or February. I signed up on VC about two weeks ago.

Hi I have followed this forum for a while and finally set up an account to post. Thanks to prior contributors. The information have been invaluable. I am currently pipelining w/ okcupid and likely wechat in the future. W/ plan arrival in HCMC on 12/2. How many contacts would you say is needed in order to approach a 50% lay count over 14 days? I am vietnamese by birth, speak it conversationally, and would classify my game as beginner/intermediate (4 SNLs from cold approaches in Vegas. In the US I have closed 50 percent of people I go on dates w/ from online dating). Do you know how to take a vietnamese phone number and add it on viber from the US ? I am missing a step somewhere (have added the Vietnam code of 84). Once my trip is completed will add a datasheet.

One last thing. Anyone want to meet up after Dec 2nd ? Beer on me

[Onto]

Big Thanks to ThoughtGypsy and his girlfriend for hosting and making Thanksgiving dinner for the RVF crew here (Filipino style!). It was truly delicious, remarkable and many said one of the best they remember. It certainly was for me.

What a great group of people we have here. It will be sad for me to see many of them moving on in the coming weeks.

I'm good for it

[yourboychris]

Looks like quite a few members are coming to town next month. Will be there from December 5th

[Pax31]

I hope you guys' pipelining is going okay. I am having issues keeping their stories straight and the the girls know everytime I screw up. Looking forward to meeting you gents.

[John Michael Kane]

Pax, sent you a private message with Viber info if you still need it. Would love to hear an active update by anyone who is currently in-country or has already left and stories/data to share.

TL;DR - one nice date and no bang (but "pull") from going out. Maybe some insights tho

I've only been in Vietnam for a few days, but I'm liking it so far. Before this, I was in Jakarta for the weekend and I'm glad to be out of that shithole. Saigon is a bit more manageable and cleaner than Jakarta. There is also stuff you can do during the day and it feels more "Asian" to me in the way people act, the lack of English only signs, etc. I feel more relaxed here as well, granted I've been taking it easy. I've only been here a few days but it doesn't feel as "scammy" as I thought it would based on some posts I read on here. However, I'm also Asian so don't know if that has an effect (probably blend in more).

Met Buakaw yesterday. Nice guy, thank you for coming to meet me even though you weren't feeling too good. He is living a cool life that many can aspire to.

My first date that I had set up in Saigon flaked. Not that hot so deleted her.

Second date didn't flake but she showed up with a friend, which I don't think was part of the plan. It wasn't so bad because she looked better in real life. Like from a 6 to an 8 (subjective). She was super cute and smelled nice. Her, her friend, and I chilled at a cafe for a little. They both like Korea which is good for me. There seems to be a Korean factor here but definitely not as pronounced as Bangkok (but this is just based off a few days here). On that note, there are so many Koreans here. Some Japanese as well but not as much (for some reason I feel like Japanese don't really leave Japan much). The Korean and Japanese businesses are everywhere. A Vietnamese man I met today told me that Japan and Korea are the top foreign investors in Vietnam, which is definitely evidenced by all the Korean and Japanese brands one sees on the street like Family Mart, Hollys Cafe, etc.

I eventually convince the girl to come back to my place... but her friend comes, too. I don't really know what to say (too polite) so we all go. Nothing is really going down sex-wise but the "connection" is solid and she is really digging me and ok with me touching her. I even put my hand on her pussy (like above her pants) below the table but don't do anything further. She gets a rise out of seeing how many Instagram followers I have (thank you Vinny/RagnarLothbrok).

Before her and her friend leave, I tell her to wait a second and we talk in private where I kiss her. I don't know if she was just shy or a bad kisser, but the kiss was bad.

I was supposed to see her again tonight but she wanted to bring her friend again, to which I said no. I got mad and basically said I wasn't going to talk to her anymore and she wanted to make it up to me so I said come to my apartment tomorrow by yourself. We'll see what happens.

After the girls leave, I immediately went to Lush (haha) for Ladies' Night. I got there perhaps a bit late ~12 (was advised to go before 11). By the time I got there, it was a bit difficult to move around.
- The first girl I remember really approaching gave me solid eye contact. She was half Korean, half Viet. Interestingly enough, she was a hooker - interesting because she totally looked like a normal girl. When she brought up the topic of money, she seemed a little shy or embarrassed about it. All at the tender age of 22. Poor girl
- From what I can remember, I ran into one other hooker there. It wasn't super pro-heavy like a place like "The Cave" in Bangkok, but I guess there are a few sprinkled in there.
- Another girl (shortly after the hooker) gave me heavy eye contact. Just to cut to the chase, I asked if she was working, which she wasn't (just a student). She wouldn't leave her friend though. I got the "Kakao" but I doubt anything will come of it (not trying that hard either)
- I spent time with an older girl (wouldn't tell me her age but guessing late 20s/early 30s) who wouldn't leave her friends (waste)
- Spent some time with a girl who was selling cigs at the club. She had just finished her shift and I figured after closing out, she would be down to come with me. I should have just followed my instincts (she looked tired and unsurprisingly said she was going home)
- I eventually see this girl who looks kind of Korean (the makeup and stuff). She's older or so she says so i start talking to her friend, who is a 6, maybe 7 or 8 if she was lighter skinned (no hate, just usually my preference) and younger (was 27 - I'm early 20s). I eventually get the girl to leave with me. She drives us to my place on her motorbike. I'm a prettyboy so I feel like I'm gonna die when I'm doing that shit. What is the safety mechanism besides holding on to the driver's waist - nothing.
- Again, just a waste of time (strayed from my instincts again). For example, when I tried making out in the club, she moved her head away (not so much a playful, we're not doing it in public moving away but no I'm not down moving away, if that makes sense). The same turning away shit when we were at my place. Eventually, I put on some sleepy music and she got the message and left.
- Compared to the few girls i talked to last night, she seemed like she had traveled more. I think this had a negative effect on her personality. She wasn't a bitch or anything but was slightly more annoying than the other chicks. Haha, also, the dumb, uneducated ho didn't know how to use my laptop and was like touching the screen and shit thinking it worked like a tablet or phone. Good thing i have a screen protector.

Even though I didn't bang, it was an interesting first night out in a totally new country. Not sure I'll go out again unless other people want to (trying to move away from nightlife) but might have no choice as my time is limited (I keep saying I'm gonna start doing more daygame but is that really plausible for a short-term stay in terms of quick bangs?) I feel dumb for wasting my time with the last girl since we left around 2 and the place (according to her) closes around 3. Regardless, I have to say the girls at the club were quite nice (not really stunning or anything but a decent amount of 8s - subjective - running around), and I'm under the impression Lush isn't even a good venue. Some of the hotter (9, 10) girls seemed to be hookers just based off body language and such and the couple of ones I talked to.

Quick update: banged the cute girl from the above post (pics below)

I got mad at her yesterday for wanting to bring her friend to our second meeting and she tried to make it up to me by agreeing to come to my place alone today

She was late so I took the opportunity to daygame some chick I saw walking past. She was tiny (a decent amount of tiny girls here like not even 5 feet or so) but pretty sexy otherwise. She is actually going to the same place as me this weekend so maybe I can make something happen. Happened to speak ok English so probably somewhat of a sloot (or smart)

Long story short, the cute girl and I chilled at my place, I got a little resistance, gave her a little alcohol, and eventually banged. She was very inexperienced (I had a feeling based on how bad she was at kissing the last time). She said she had 3 boyfriends but who knew how far she even went with them (she's 19 and it seems Asians are generally later to the sex game). Like didn't know how to take it from behind

The condom broke though (Trojan Bareskin - maybe it's too thin). So we had to get plan B

Before that happened though, we went to eat dinner at a place someone mentioned on here (33 Nguyễn Trung Trực, Bến Thành, Hồ Chí Minh, Vietnam). Poster mentioned it was in a "garage" - not really that ghetto, actually a somewhat decent places with prices to match. Not super expensive but pricy compared to what I've been eating. Came out to 440,000 VND for 2 (3 entrees, 1 water, 1 pepsi), which is like 19 USD. Haha shit that's nothing considering how much we (mostly me) ate. But for reference, I had rice, vegetables, pork, chicken, and soup for lunch today, all for about 2 USD. Food at the "garage" restaurant was ok but nothing crazy. Met some guy who said food up north ~Hanoi is better so we'll see.

Afterwards, we went to get bubble tea around Bitexco Financial Center, which is this brand-new, swank skyscraper that has a "sky deck" (decent tourist attraction but all those things pale in comparison to their equivalents in NYC IMO due to New York's skyline). This area, at night, around Nguyen Hue Street, had a decent amount of cuties walking around (like "8s" maybe a couple of 9s - but those mainly were bar girl types). The thing with these Viet girls though, in my opinion, is that they're not as "polished" as their Korean and Japanese counterparts (probably because Vietnam is still third world). That is, you see girls with decent faces and figures who could probably look better if they knew how to present themselves just a little bit better with makeup, dress, etc. I haven't been to every country in SE Asia but I could see "hottest in SE Asia" but "hottest in all of Asia" seems like a stretch (all opinion of course...) I'm not sure I'd come all the way here just for the girls again, but definitely some decent looking girls around. Bodies I'd say are somewhere between the NE Asians (aka nothing) and SE Asians like Indonesians - I might've said this already.

Anyway, we were looking for a pharmacy and finally a taxi driver took us to one that was open.

Price for Plan B:

36,000 VND or $1.58 lol

I got the impression that the pill itself was over-the-counter, too as the guy asked me "one time or every day?" when I was trying to buy the Plan B.

I'm most likely going to Vietnam within the next two weeks. Is it worth it to pay for a membership for Vietnam Cupid? I mean, will the girls even be able to message me back if they're not members?

HCMC vs. Hanoi in terms of bangs and hot girls, which is better? I don't get care if one is a bigger shithole than the other, as long as I don't get my shit jacked and credit cards stolen. Thanks.

Tinder is enough in Saigon. It's like almost every local girl between 19 and 30 uses it.
Never been to Hanoi so I couldn't say how girls are over there. I keep hearing that Saigonese are more into foreigners though

[destiny]

I'm curious whether or not using direct daygame works in Saigon or would indirect work better?

[McBain]

Direct can be tough. It is just not the local culture. Even in bars locals don't really fancy being approached directly. Of course for expats it's another story.

The smartphone culture having swallowed everything around here, it is almost odd for a single person no to be on Tinder or another dating app.

Do you speak Vietnamese? If not then good luck. Their English suck.

Nah, guess I'll just stick with indirect and asking for directions or opinions lol.

I've been pipeling on both tinder and vietnamcupid, just that the language barrier seems to be quite challenging for communicating with them. I figured in person, I can at least use non-verbals and hand gestures, plus I can understand a little of Vietnamese.

[Bushido]

^ Don't get put off by naysayers. Most people around here don't even do daygame. They just state opinions about it.

I did a bit in HCMC but the main challenge was actually locating sets. Walking Street is being done up for Tet at the moment so there isn't as much traffic as usual. Try VinCom mall and report back on how it goes for you.

Sup homies. I'm in HCMC right now and will be here for a while, hit me up and lets get some beers / hit up some bars.

I'm still here

Haha, so true... like this one I just saw:


Looking for in a partner:

"Need a incredible insight into pre-Columbian history"

WTF?

[Mr. Scumbag]

I'm in D1 if anyone wants to meet up.

Where are the big malls located in the city with big name Western brands? How much should I expect to fork over for a sim card?
