Got back not too long ago from a few months in Argentina. I’d like to provide a quick overview of the major cities of the country, followed by a list of phrases unique to Argentina, followed by Spanish game flash cards that you might find useful as you travel Latin America.
Overview
I spent three months in Argentina, while working a remote job part-time. I really liked this place, although game was tough, it wasn’t impossible. I’d say it’s slightly harder than Mexico, and the quality is slightly better. Of course, there are a lot of stunners here in Argentina.
I somewhat made the mistake going into the trip thinking just because there is a higher concentration of 8’s, hot girls here, it means that you’re more likely to sleep with them. That’s not true.
Just because there are more 8’s, it doesn’t make them any easier. Like anywhere in the world, 8’s will primarily sleep with guys through their social circle, and if you’re traveling around Latin America, the odds are you’re not going to be in one place long enough in order to build a social circle. I’m not saying it’s impossible to sleep with an 8 or above here, but it’s no more likely than sleeping with an 8 or above in the U.S.
The advantage of Argentina is that the average girl here is much better than in the U.S., which should come as a surprise to no one who’s traveled anywhere outside the States. Here are some random girls from club's pages on Instagram; I'd say these girls are slightly higher than the girls you'd encounter on a daily basis there.
The Cities
I went to four cities in Argentina, excluding a week-long trip to Patagonia (recommended) for nature and not game. I put a “yes” where I got a bang from the source, a “maybe” where I may have gotten a bang but a lot of effort for the reward, and a “no” where I thought it was a waste of time.
Mendoza: Clubs yes (one specific). Bars no. Tinder yes. Daygame maybe.
Rosario: Clubs yes (to collect #’s). Bars no. Tinder no. Daygame no.
Cordoba: Clubs no. Bars maybe. Tinder maybe. Daygame yes.
Buenos Aires: Clubs no. Bars no. Tinder/Happn yes. Daygame yes.
I’d certainly recommend at least two weeks for a city, if you do go down here. It’s not a ONS culture of pulling a girl from a bar/club. While a ONS does happen and I certainly had them, it’s not the norm. You’ll need to go on one, two, or three dates here. If you have solid date game, and the time to go on your two dates, then you’ll have no problem.
And because I find it helpful when you guys provide this:
Mendoza: 5 weeks, 3 bangs
Rosario: 2 weeks, 1 bang
Cordoba: 3 weeks, 2 bangs
Buenos Aires: 2 weeks, 2 bangs
I got 8 bangs in 3 months in Argentina, versus 13 in 3.5 months in Mexico. One big difference was a lot of bangs in Mexico came in a short period in Playa del Carmen, which Argentina doesn’t have the equivalent (or if they did, maybe it’d be Mar del Plata in January/February but I didn’t go, about 4 hours drive from Buenos Aires). However, the joke in Argentina is that the best beaches in Argentina are the ones in Brazil. If you’re into the beach scene, then I’d recommend Florianopolis. Half the girls there from January–March will be from Argentina, and according to myLatinLife, has the best looking girls out of any city in Latin America.
Overall, I spent about a week less here than in Mexico, and didn’t game as aggressively in Argentina. I’d call it slightly harder than Mexico, with talent slightly higher as well. So long as you give each city at least two weeks, you’ll be fine.
City Details
Mendoza reminded me of northern California. It’s got a dry climate, with hills not far from the city. The city is small, but well-maintained and a nice place to relax in. The girls are good-looking here no doubt, and this is the only city where being an American or a foreigner demonstrably helped.
Rosario was like a “rougher” version of Buenos Aires, although the area I stayed in was nice. People say Rosario is the most dangerous big city in Argentina, but living in the central area you wouldn’t know it. The drivers are crazy here though and you should be careful crossing the street. I think you can skip Rosario, although guys I met in Buenos Aires later told me Rosario has the best-looking women in Argentina. Top-shelf girls here yes that’s probably true, but good luck. While at a club here, I told the group of guys I was chilling with, that the girl standing over there in the glasses with big tits over was cute. I went to talk to her, she asked for my Instagram, and five days later I banged her.
Cordoba is a college town, and the second largest city in Argentina. There are some mountains around the city but I didn’t get a chance to go out of the city, unlike in Mendoza. There’s not too much here, I felt like it could get boring fairly quickly, although people were friendly. But the large number of college students is a plus. It kind of reminded me of Guadalajara, Mexico. Not a lot to do, but busy in some parts of the city and generally good talent.
Buenos Aires. This city surpassed my expectations. You can’t possibly get bored here. There are a lot of things to do, everyone is in good shape, the restaurants are great, lots of cool spots here. It felt European but not stuck up like I sometimes feel European capitals can be. Palermo, where I spent most of my time, is a great place to live in between two parks and plazas. There’s a kind of Financial District feel to the area near Plaza de Mayo with narrow streets and lots of foot traffic, mostly middle-age people who work in offices around.
As far as language, I’d say many girls speak English. Maybe 60 or 70% of girls you’ll meet will speak enough English to have a basic conversation. The other 30% do not. But you’ll do better if you know Spanish, like anywhere in the world where knowing the native language helps. However I was impressed that a large number of girls I met spoke English. I prefer hablar español so that’s what I did, but in any of these cities, you could come in with your basic Spanish and the rest English, and be just fine.
Again, this is what worked for me:
Mendoza: Clubs yes (one specific). Bars no. Tinder yes. Daygame maybe.
Rosario: Clubs yes. Bars no. Tinder no. Daygame no.
Cordoba: Clubs no. Bars maybe. Tinder maybe. Daygame yes.
Buenos Aires: Clubs no. Bars no. Tinder yes. Daygame yes.
Argentina Phrasebook
This is a list of words and phrases, some slang, some not. Some unique to Argentina, some not. While knowing these won’t help you with game, I thought it might be useful to have some familiarity with these, without the need for mastery, for those who travel there.
“vos” – you (used instead of tú, although if you use tú, they will understand you)
(ex: Vos tenés mucho tiempo libre. “You have a lot of free time.”)
“plata” - money/dinero
(ex: Estoy buscando un cajero automático para sacar plata)
“castellano” - Spanish
(ex: Vos hablás castellano muy bien. “You speak Spanish very well.”)
For whatever reason, they don’t call it español. They call it Castellano. There is no difference in the two, it’s not another dialect, it’s just the Argentinian word for the Spanish language.
“puede ser” – could be
Like girls everywhere, saying ‘yes’ is harder to say than maybe. If you offer up plans and she says, “Puede ser”, understand that it’s closer to ‘yes’ than ‘maybe’. Usually, I’ll respond with “genial” which means ‘cool’, and the next day (or later) work out or confirm specific plans.
“previa” – pregame
(ex: Hacemos la previa antes de la fiesta.)
“touch-and-go” – a friend with benefits
Argentines are not that keen on identifying as being in relationships. Many, not all, will have a “touch-and-go” or friend with benefits. They will not call that person a boyfriend or girlfriend unless they’ve been seeing each other for many months. They stay as a touch-and-go.
“un after” – an after party
(ex: Nosotros estamos teniendo un mini-after. Tenemos alcohol, deberíamos reunirnos. “We’re having a mini-after party. We have alcohol, you should join us”).
“boliche” – the club
(ex: Vamos a boliche después de la previa en la casa de Rodrigo.)
“la joda” – the party/fiesta
(In Spain, ‘joder’ means ‘fuck’ so be careful)
“pícara” – trouble
(ex: Vos pareces como una super inocente chica…y tu otra amiga, parece pícara)
Used to flirt with a girl you think could be trouble. Don’t say the word ‘traviesa’ which Google will translate as naughty, because it implies she’s easy and a slut. Last thing you want to say. Pícara is more informal and flirtatious.
“Cómo andas?” – like how are you/what’s up
“De dónde sos?” – Where are you from?
“un montón” – a lot
(ex: Sabes muchas palabras en inglés, un montón)
“chamuyo” – sweet talk
“chaumyero” – a flirt (male), or bullshitter
Girl might call you this, and she’s somewhere on the border between being playful and calling you out for trying to pick her up.
Also keep in mind they pronounce words slightly differently
me llamo is “me jyah-mo”
la playa is “la play-ja”
castellano is “caste-jyah-no”
You’ll hear it. Argentine Spanish is a very nice accent I like it a lot.
Dirty phrases for the bedroom and bedroom only:
“coger” – to fuck
(ex: Voy a cogerte muy duro y profundo. “I’m going to fuck you very hard and deep.”)
Note in Spain, coger is an innocent word and it means to ‘grab’, and they will use it for everything – coger un taxi, coger el vaso.
“Ponete de rodillas” – get on your knees
Should be self-explanatory.
“Chupame la pija” – suck my dick
“tu concha es mío” – your pussy is mine
“Wow…estás tan mojada para mí.” – Wow…you’re so wet for me.
“Eres mi putita” – You’re my little slut
If she’s into it, call her a ‘putita’ or little slut. Some girls are into that, many aren’t.
Mexico/Spanish Game Flashcards
I made some flashcards that I used in Mexico and to a lesser extent in Argentina, while making approaches at night and during the day. I strongly recommend you make flashcards for game phrases and memorize them. It will help you be more confident in your language when you arrive.
There’s about 40 flashcards in total, front and back. Put them all in one place for you guys traveling to Spanish-speaking countries. The full set can be found here:
