The Ukraine Thread III
06-25-2014, 06:14 PM
I wanted to start a post-conflict Ukraine thread.
I spent 7 weeks in Russia and things did not go as well for me than in Ukraine. My results were considerably lower and I spent far far more. I will write more about my Russia trip in the future, but it was overall a disappointment in spite of the fact that my Russian is approaching conversational. My game effort on the ground was not as strong as it could have been and I suspect that's because my subconscious "gave up" when it figured out that the environment was not as favorable as Ukraine. The only real benefit of the trip is that I greatly improved my Russian when I was in Siberia.
So I'm back in Odessa. Walking around today, I feel like the city is stuck in a time capsule---almost nothing has changed from when I was here last year. My favorite places remain and so my nostalgic happiness is quite high. The quality of women is also high, higher than Moscow on a per capita basis (e.g. more hot women in Odessa if you pulled 100 random people from the street than in Moscow).
Prices are cheap, about 30% less than last year. I bought an espresso from a mobile truck for less than 1 dollar, and a pizza dinner with appetizer and two drinks was less than $20, whereas in Moscow it would have been over $40. There are many people in the center and people seem to be enjoying summer. I don't think I will miss Russia.

It will be interesting to get your take on post-conflict Ukraine. Now that Crimea is part of Russia, I suspect more Ukrainians will spend the summer in Odessa. This could be a why you are seeing more talent in Odessa than in Moscow.
That said, I was hoping your Russia trip would turn out better. My guess is that now that Russia is a middle-income country, its "possy paradise" days are over. Still, I look forward to a detailed write-up from you that analyzes Russia in greater detail since I think a lot can be learned from comparing it to other FSU countries you have visited.

I'm very curious to see how Ukraine is post conflict in all facets: prices, guys bugging you, and of course women. I wonder if a concept such as revolution pussy exists.

Does the city seem effected by the recent violence? 40 people burned to death in Odessa, that has to change something.

Roosh, could you possibly sum up your biggest disappointment with Russia? Was it that the women were too cold or the logistics were unfavorable? Or were the local men big cockblockers? I was mulling a Russia trip until this thread.
Also, is Odessa 'safe'? American media makes it seem like its still a hellhole and I want to make sure Ukraine hasn't turned into another Iraq.

Why Odessa and not Kiev? As to spend summer in Arcadia?
From my experience both in terms of amount of talent and easy of hooking up Kiev is better.
As far as effect on the girls from the before and after the conflict I think there is a little effect, many 8s-9s with good English which used to hang out with foreigners seems to still be spoiled, hard to bang and they trying to get things from you free. This could be either as still many foreigners are around or they lack to adapt to the new situation and it will take time for them. (Assuming conflict will continue and effect the tourism and pussy tourism)

Roosh, enjoy yourself and get the fullest of Odessa. Odessa is a great spot this summer. Overall at the current state - Kiev & Odessa are the greatest spots in Ukraine for a player.
Yes, Odessa is still safe and honestly nothing big will be there in a near future, there used to be a conflict when they burned 40 pro-russian nazi people just to stop what's happening now in Eastern regions. It's always good to stop things in the beginning steps. That's actually one of the main reasons why Odessa is calm today, because they met their enemies with force. Now many people in the Eastern part are regretting they allowed to stay pro-russian troops and gave support, but it's too late. Thousands of people already died, cities ruined, some involved in the war, another part just moved away as refugees. 2 Eastern regions no longer will be as they used to be before. People wish this things just could never happen to them.

Roosh, if your Russian is that good you need to head over to Kherson for a few days. As an American that can communicate in the local tongue, the daygame potentialities with local 9's is unfathomable.

1. Would you say that it would be a better idea to learn Ukrainian given the political situation? Also do you regret spending all that time on Russian only to prefer Ukraine
2. What was the biggest disappointment of Russia?
3. Do you think being middle eastern made it particular ly hard?
4. Will you be visiting Belarus, the obvious country for you to write something on yet.

Roosh, Crimea could be an interesting visit. Your Russian visa could be useful for such a trip.

Roosh - Kiev I think is still option better as they are way more girls from all over UA instead of going town to town.
I just saw the most recent Facebook pics for Forsage the student club. The quality seems better then I remember it. The main downside is Kiev is more expensive then Odessa.

I don't know if the demographic this summer has shifted (less students maybe), but the English level here is way lower than I remember it (less than 50%).

Enjoy Ukraine while it lasts. The government just signed the trade agreement with the EU and expect visa free travel within the EU by next year for Ukrainian citizens.
