[TheShawshank]

I'm 25 year old Indian based out of Bangalore. I have realized 'Game' and now I see 'Game' as only way of life going forward for me. But being based out of India I also understand that there is absolutely 'no game' in India.

I have practiced Roosh's Day Game advices after reading his book. I had decent success in getting numbers although I didn't get bangs. Mostly it's because of low number of good looking women in India and their conservative-ness. Night Game is more or less a dead option in an Indian city like Bangalore. Hopeless night life for next 10 years at least.

I realized that to live gamer life I have no option but to move out of India.

After reading Rooshv forums I understood that it will be wise to move to Europe than to America. I'm a Software Programmer with nearly 4 years of experience. I was in Europe 5 years ago and I really liked the laid back lifestyle. I'm not afraid of race issue and I look above average by Indian standards. There will always be girls who like my race. I have seen it first hand. Some girls in Europe/America is always a better option than no girls in India.

Since I have decided to relocate, I can go on visit the following cities and check myself if I should relocate but that would take significant amount of my savings and time. It would immensly help me in my decision-making if experienced travel-gamers can suggest me their opinions on following cities:

Miami Beach,
San Fransisco,
New York,
London,
Barcelona,
Stockholm,
Prague,
Brno,
Budapest,
Warsaw or any other city in Poland,
Kiev,
Moscow,
Bucharest.


or any other programming job that would make me location independent? [Please don't suggest me to set up my own company because I'm currently not in a position to do that.]

Also note that this thread is going to be useful to thousands of Indians who are in same boat as me. Lot of Indians (after US, Canada, UK) read this forum silently. If you genuinely doesn't want to help me please refrain from posting.

How can we help you with this dude? You haven't told us what your selection criteria are or how easy it is for Indians to secure work visas for these countries.

Forget about the following places:

Budapest
Warsaw/Poland
Bucharest
Kiev
Moscow

They already have a lot of very skilled local programmers and the wages are terrible. You're young - make money first, travel later. You have at least 25 years before your age will start to slow you down.

Barcelona is the most cosmopolitan city of western Europe except London/EEUU etc.

I think you would do it great because you'll have people from all over the world and they're used to foreign people

Let me make two suggestions for decision criteria. What with the stronger US dollar, if you want to make bank, not Europe. That leaves the US.

Indians are a huge component to American IT success. Therefore, going to a city where such an immigrant (and US-grown talent) is already large, makes no sense. American's enjoy differences, mostly. (And most of my Indian-American friends in Colorado came here from Texas, after their parent moved there first.) Unless...unless family connections or friends or home nation ties will work for you! Naturally.

This rules out SF and the Bay Area, and probably New York City as well. Thus, I think the more interesting choice for you is Miami - the financial capital of Latin America. And the warm weather oasis for over half of the US! (Ergo, many vacationing targets of opportunity - they come to you!)

Latin women and beaches and warm weather will work well for you, IF latin girls appeal to you! And more "whitebread" towns are not far away.

Plus, the islands of the Caribbean, including the uncharted realms of Cuba, are not far away. Can you say two (or three - since "island" life is distinctly different) cultures for the "price" of one?

I don't see any obvious downsides for you. Good luck!
