i disagree... well of course depends on your budget. I have lived in Colombia, Bangkok, London and Australia amongst other places. Sydney is a world class city... IMO it is greater for women than Melbourne... Melbourne is better for sport...amazing.

On a saturday night in sydney there are hot girls everywhere from all over the world, asians galore, europeans, brazilians and loads of australians girls in short skirts.. If you are young, good looking and have game u would love sydney. if you are looking for a girl who actually has a car, an apartment, a job and money u will love sydney.

if you old or overweight forget sydney...go asia, south america.

yes sydney is expensive (rent is ridiculous) but it is a very a cool city with loads of beautiful women form all over the world.
young, good looking guys will love it.
not just the women but the nightlife, the beaches, everything.. cool city IMO. you can find everything.

after being in south america and asia it was super to go out with good looking girls that actually paid for things and had money...

one of the best cities in the world i have been too.

Having lived a year in Sydney and over a decade in Melbourne I can lend my perspective on this.

For women, hands down Sydney has hotter women. You will see far more 8s and higher in Sydney than you will in Melbourne. In general I found the average women in Sydney (6s and 7s) far more receptive and DTF than their Melbourne counterparts but this is my personal observation. The 8s or higher have their bitch shields in both cities but if you have an exotic flavor about you that sets you apart from the average aussie they are generally receptive to you.

For tourists, again Sydney trumps Melbourne by sheer numbers. Go wandering around the botanic gardens, opera house, darling harbour or bondi and you will see them in their droves. As much as I like Melbourne, Sydney is far more iconic as a travel destination with landmarks like bondi and the opera house, and thus gets more tourists.

Nightlife, both have clubs that are pretty much the same but the quality of women in Sydney going there are far better. They are better looking and the dress a hell of a lot better. They are a lot more feminine in their attire. Short skirts seem the popular option in Sydney while Melbourne jeans seem more the norm.

Day life, Melbourne wins hands down. Very much a european cafe culture in Melbourne. Cafes, shopping, sports events all vastly superior to Sydney. Many Sydney people would agree with this.

Cost of living, Melbourne wins hands down. Sydney is ridiculously expensive. 7 years ago I was staying in Potts Point in Sydney. Had a million dollar view and great location but it was small rundown 1 bedroom apartment and that was setting me back $450 a week. This was a basic apartment as well. No air-con or anything like that. Now I stay in a luxury apartment in the city. Its twice the size, has fantastic 270% views of the city, all the mod cons (air-con, clothes dryer, dishwasher, secured car park) and sets me back $480 a week. Same place in a similar location in Sydney would set me back close to $1,000 a week

Sydney is a great place to live if you want to party, meet hot women and don't care about saving. Melbourne is a far better option because you can have slightly scaled down versions of both of them and be able to save due to the large drop in accommodation.

Agree with the old or overweight comment about Sydney. Same applies to Melbourne. If you are 40+ or overweight then pickings are a lot slimmer. However the beauty about Melbourne is when you are 40+ you are likely to have built your career to a point where you are pulling in 6 figures due to the excellent salaries and job opportunities in Melbourne and return flights to Thailand or the Philippines can be bought for less than a weeks wage. The accessibility to two of the best spots in the world for 40+ guys, in time zone (2-4 hours time difference tops), flight time (10-12 hours) and affordability (what I make in 1 week I could live like a king for 1 month with in Thailand/Philippines) means it is probably one of the best base cities out there.

agree 100 per cent. this is spot on. and i like ur more femine comment..exactly. also in melbourne u get alot more arty farty fat lesbian/hippy types..fuck that. sydney is albout short skirts and high heels... very good.

when iw as saying if u are 40 plus/overweight etc i was referring to people thinking about travelling to australia for holidays with pussy in mind. working there and making big $$ is a different story

Not a hell of a lot different if you live there. If you are 40+/overweight you are looking at the 30's demographic and most of them are materialistic and settlers. Forget the 20-25 range unless you have something she wants like access to functions/areas reserved for VIPs or you have some sort of celebrity status yourself. Big $$ alone wont cut it.

I think the best analogy for American dudes between Sydney and Melbourne is LA vs. San Francisco from what I've read on lots of threads from you guys on the Forum. LA is bigger with more high end girls, better weather and beaches. San Francisco has a lot more hipster chicks and isn't as car centric (you can live in inner suburban Melbourne without a car) making it better for day game. Plus it's cheaper but still very expensive compared to major world cities.

LA = Sydney. SF = Melbourne. That pretty much sums up the vibe between the cities. Oh and Perth is San Diego: smaller, less diverse, more conservative and has lots of beaches.

Sydney and Melbourne are both pretty damn classy but at the same time we have the highest obesity rates in the world.

Somebody needs to take a trip to the states...

According to BMI (Body Mass Index) Australia is the most obese country but BMI is a terrible way to measure obesity. Using this as a measure somebody with a lot of muscle like a bodybuilder could be classified as obese. Many top athletes in rugby/rugby league are actually considered obese by this measurement. They actually use it as a measure once on a top rugby league side and 80% of them came up obese in this test.

Their are a lot of fat people in Australia but many of them would just tip the BMI into the obese classification. When it comes to the hyper obese, nobody does it quite like the yanks. I doubt, percentage wise, any country would come remotely close to the US in the 150kg+ category. That said, I would be very surprised if Aussie doesnt rank #2 in the 150kg+ category.

Those top rugby players only make an small % of male population anywhere. I think in 150+ kg category the thing would rank something like this:

1) US
2) Australia
3) UK
4) Ireland
5) NZ

Basically all "anglo" countries.

I would argue Milan, Italy but it loses out on the beach. It has the architecture, art, nightlife (except during the month of August), food (stomach stay full), and hot Italian women.

For Northern Italians, by the water, great food and wine, great city - San Francisco.

Depends what kind of women you like, but multirracial sities like toronto, sydney, london, paris, amsterdam, etc have the tastes of everybody included.

Just a reply on Florianópolis...

The people who live there tend to complain about lack of jobs, infrastructure (it is not very urban) and transportation.

But, having been there 3 times, I can say that the girls there are deafinately prettier than the ones here in Rio.

It has similar weather as Rio, but winters are somewhat chillier.

Edit: And Florianópolis has a very timid nightlife for my standards.

i went to floripa in october, stayed in lagoa, it was VERY VERY quiet. there is nothing to do other than surfing.

So for people who are used to the buzz and cultural things say london, new york, in my case, shanghai, i find it extremly boring.

Ok for a party destination in the summer for few days, YES, its busy.
