Guys - I have been a lurker on this forum for months. I recently completed a 3 month trip around the world from my hometown in California then on to China, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Hungary, Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, Montenegro, Turkey, Bulgaria, UK, Italy and Germany. Whenever I had the chance I would access this forum via my iPhone to gleam any tips or tricks to run game in the most effective way in each country I visited.

Beyond any doubt, the most amazing place I visited was Bucharest, Romania. I know there are a few other posts about Romania and their beautiful women, but let me just add my experience.

First of all, I'm 34, 6'4, Athletic build, blonde hair and blue eyes. My game isn't that great, but it's not bad either. On a typical month back home in San Fran I will close the deal on 2 new girls. However, I wouldn't say that I'm the best looking or have the best game, but I can hold my own. Anyways, I visited Romania for 3 days in early May with a wing man. We had such a great time, that I decided to return to Bucharest by myself for a full week of picking up hot dark haired, big titted women.

Many have already extolled the virtues of leveraging couchsurfing to 'seed the field'. A week prior to my arrival in Bucharest I sent about 30 messages to the hottest girls living in Bucharest that are active on the Couchsurfing website. It wasn't hard to pick out the ones that appeared to be hot, because it seems like most Romanians using Couchsurfing are young, hot girls. One day before my arrival back in Bucharest I had already lined up 5 dates for the 6 days. The first 2 days I had 2 dates lined up. Like professional selling, it is a numbers game, so I wanted to give myself enough chances to win and win big. I won big.

Over the course of the next 6 days, I closed on 4 girls without much effort. To me, Romanian girls are some of the hottest girls around. What makes it great for an expat is that the Romanian dudes don't realize just how good they have it, so they are really checked-out and the girls are on the prowl. Back home here in San Fran most bars have a ratio of 4 guys to every 1 girl. In Bucharest, most places I visited were 3 girls to every 1 guy. Plus, the guys are almost no competition because they seem so disinterested and most of them are short and not that good looking. Also, I found that the anti-American sentiment is pretty low in Romania... at least not as bad as I encountered almost everywhere I visited. The Romanian people do aspire to live and acheive the "American Dream", whatever that might be. When I arrived on Friday evening, I had a date lined up with a girl I found on Couchsurfing. When I met her my jaw dropped because she had huge double-d tits on such a thin frame. We went to a club called Bellagio, which was teaming with hot Romanian girls. I definitely recommend Bellagio to anyone visiting Bucharest. I was looking around the club and I was getting checked-out by so many of the chicks. I couldn't believe just how hot these girls were and there was a ton of them.
I brought my date back to the apartment I had rented for the week and proceeded to bang the shit out of her all night. In my mind's eye I still see her huge tits smacking her face as I banged her from behind.

The next morning I went to the lobby of the hotel that was connected to my apartment building for some breakfast. I was sitting minding my own business eating breakfast but I couldn't help but noticing that a really hot Romanian girl couldn't stop checking me out. We made eye contact several times, then I smiled at her and she smiled back, and I knew it was time to run some day game. I approached her and was surprised to find that she spoke pretty good English. In fact, most of the girls I met spoke some English, which is a major reason why it was so easy to pick-up chicks in Bucharest. As I got this girl's number I kept thinking that she must be a prostitute because this was just too easy. I would soon find out that she definitely was not a prosty. Later that night I met up with this girl for some drinks at a neighborhood bar/club near the University area. After about 3 drinks she was so horny and ready to go, so we took a cab back to her place. Now, I don't recommend any of you guys do what I did, because I went to her place and it was quite shady, hot and dirty. Her bed was a pull-out couch, but that didn't matter - I banged her every which way until the early hours of Sunday morning. I will never forget how she grabbed my dong with her exceptionally strong vaginal muscles and then she would let go and then squeeze again. I've never felt anything like that. I also got her to squirt a couple of times. Good times.

I laid low on Sunday evening, but hit the Lipscani (Old city center) again on Monday evening. I was stood up by my date on Monday night so I decided to see if I could salvage the evening at a place called Bordellos in the Lipscani area. At 7 pm I sat at the bar for a drink in a relatively empty bar/restaurant. Then she walked in. A beautiful, tall, skinny Romanian girl approached the bar and sat near me. After I caught her looking over at me a few times I opened up a set with a unusually successful and deceptively simple opener, "Do you speak English?" Guys, I shit you not, this is probably the best way to open a set in a foreign land. I always followed that question with the statement, "because I'm from California." Knowing that many people still have a positive image of California (rather than saying I'm from America - which has a negative connotation), I almost always received a positive response in Romania.

To make a long story short, I brought her back to the apartment later that night and had the most amazing night of noisy rough sex of my life. So great, in fact, that I'm going to be meeting this girl in NYC next week while she is in the states for some business meetings.

The great things about Bucharest is that you don't have a lot of competition, the girls are very hot and plentiful (it's like the opposite of everywhere I've been/lived in America) and it's one of the few places where being an American actually gets you somewhere. I was meeting girls who said that they had never met an American in person before. That's amazing. Bucharest was so great that I'm seriously contemplating moving there or maybe just staying there for a few months.

You must add Bucharest to your list, and put it at the very top.

Damn dude, that's pretty legit, nice write up. Never thought about Romania, but you're making it sound like a guy can't go wrong there. I am wondering if you set up your dates through couch surfing, were you hosting them at your apartment, or were you staying with them at their places? Also, you say that you are "not the best looking", but 6 ft. 4 and "athletic build" are what most women are into, I imagine that most people in Romania are darker hair/skin, do you feel that having blonde hair/blue eyes was a big advantage?

I wonder if this post could peak Roosh's interests in going to check it out, as this may be a hidden gem or untapped gold mine, but I am thinking that maybe exotic factor might work against Roosh or guys that are more dark featured, as they will blend in with the local population.

Hey man, yeah, I think having blonde hair and being tall helped more in Bucharest than anywhere else I've visited.... mostly because I stuck out from the typical Romanian dudes that were short and had dark hair. I guess my clothing was a bit different as well, since the style in Bucharest is best characterized as what it was in the U.S. in 1989 - which isn't a good thing. Anyways, there were so many more opportunities to score chicks than I could realistically seize. I mis-played some sets, but my time was well spent.

Italian men are known for having Romanian mistresses (Berlusconi, for one) and Romanian women seem to really like Italian men. Most Romanian people go to Italy during their holidays - so I guess Italian men do well with Romanians.

Oh yeah, definitely be careful of the gypsies. I had a $750 hugo boss jacket with my camera stolen from a bar. It was totally my fault because I left my jacket draped over a chair while I talked to some girls on the other side of the bar. Lesson learned. Anyways, I'd be surprised if Roosh hadn't already visited Bucharest. I visited 15 countries on this last trip and nothing compared to Romania... not even close.

I know several people on this forum compare everything to South Beach, but having been in South beach several times, I can say nothing compares to my experience in Bucharest. It was just soo damn easy to pick up really hot Romanian girls that would get naked after a few drinks. It's the best place I've ever visited... no joke.... and I've visited 50 countries in the last few years.

Great write up! Thanks, heading that region in about a month and change, I might consider stopping by now

BTW were there allot of potential hating from the local dudes? Can't imagine them starting anything with you towering over them lol.

Great read, shame on you for lurking so long! ;-)

I've been tempted with visiting Bulgaria for a while but your write up definitely has me considering Romania as well.

Post: #6

Wow. Sounds like Poland times five. I hear Ukraine is similar to this as well.

Quote:Anyways, I'd be surprised if Roosh hadn't already visited Bucharest.

I am planning on going. May be a while though.

Wait for it....wait...

What if you are black, latino, asian, or east indian?

Or you look middle eastern, or (gulp) gypsy?

Any idea how responsive girls are to guys that aren't blonde haired?

Sounds like I may have misjudged Romania. I may have to pay a visit in 2012.

Luckystar,

Is there really a need to distinguish between gypsies and East Indians? Its given that we all look like gypsies!



Rodneystrong,

Great report man. How would things be if you were to live there for a long period of time, say for 2-3 months, in terms of food, accommodation, transportation, etc with respect to quality and cost?

Maybe, maybe not. I wasn't trying to single out East Indians in particular.

Whenever I ask a race question, 9 times out of 10 I ask on behalf of all other groups, not just mine. We all want to know what's in it for us!

I'm a huge fan of Romanian girls. I have scored with 2 Romanian girls in my life, and they were among the best looking I have been with. Very, very hot.

Props to the OP on his report. Nice to have some perspective on Romania.

I know you were'n't, I was just being sarcastic, its that everytime an East Indian guy talks about going to Romania the first response is, you will be looked at as a gypsy!

I have never scored any Romanian girls but they intrigue me and so does the country. Thats why I plan to live there for some time.

Hey man, I think black dudes would clean up in Romania. Not sure about east Indian, latino or asian. My guess is that Latinos would do okay, too.

I've read some of the criticism of Romania from other guys posting on this forum (e.g. the place is bombed out, depressing to look at), and although this can be said about any of the former eastern block countries, if you look beyond the antiquated metro system and some of the urban decay, what you will find is a very charming city (speaking of Bucharest here) with people who have a desire to lift themselves up and build a functioning capitalistic democracy. There is a sense of defeatism amongst the yonger generation - as if they have to leave Romania in order to succeed. Not only do I think that's false, but I consistently used that sentiment and turned it on its head by saying "are you kidding, I would love to live in Romania. You don't know how great you have it." Flatterry in this regard buys you a lot of good favor because these people feel like they are not noticed by the outside world - which is strangely true for some reason.

Rodney, where did you find your apt and what rental were you paying?

I am working my way around the whole of e.europe right now (just arrived in Albania) visiting every country that I have never been to before so Romania was already on my list. Looking forward to it.

What are the local costs like? Food / beers / taxi ?

I am looking for a place I can maybe rent an apt for an extended stay and work on my book.

A place that's well priced, has good nightlife and hot women. Bucharest fit the bill ?

The local dudes just seem so withdrawn that I really didn't sense any haters. Like I said, these guys have it real good - they don't know how good they have it because the women are hot and plentiful. So, unlike most places in the US where the competition for the few, non-fat chicks can be fierce and may even end up in a fight, the guys in Romania just seem so chilled out and harmless. When you walk thru the Old City Center area in Bucharest you will see throngs of hot girls hanging out at cafes talking to one another with a relatively few amount of dudes. Maybe the guys work all the time - or maybe they're at the casinos, I don't know, but they weren't a factor like they were in many other places that I've visited.

I also stopped by Sofia, Bulgaria for a few nights and had a really great time there as well. I found the girls in Bulgaria to be nearly as hot as the Romanian and equally and easy to score. Few of the Bulgarians that I met have ever met an American. Damn, I should post some of the emails I received from randoms I met in bars in Romania and Bulgaria - they are fucking funny.

I've been all over the world, and the only region I now want to go back to is the former eastern block countries - with Romania at the top of that list.

I actually found my apartment on Expedia. The place is called the Prince Residence and it is located near the Lipscani Old City Center area. I only stayed for 6 night - and the rate was $67/night - which was totally worth it considering I had an entire apartment to myself. If you are staying much longer, I would recommend you rent an apartment by the month. You can actually rent the apartments at the Prince Residence by the month. Just beware, at night the 'Secret Garden' bar at the Prince turns into a brothel. Fortunately I had no need or desire for P4P, but it is a little strange to walk thru the bar on the way to your room and see several hookers checking you out.

Anyways, Bucharest isn't a really cheap place, but it's not expensive either. For the locals the place is very expensive, but here is a sampling of some of the prices:

beers $2.50 - $4
pizza $6-9
kebaps: $5-8
Metro: $.75 will get you almost anywhere in the city

While you're there, definitely take the tour of the amazing Palace - which is the second largest building in the world behind the Pentagon and was, surprisingly, built in the 1980s - you would have thought it was built in the 17th Century.

By contrast, Bulgaria is ridiculously cheap. Despite the close proximity to Romania, the economy in Bulgaria is still in shambles, so you can eat a huge meal for $3-4 at a nice restaurant. It's not quite as inexpensive as Cambodia or Thailand, but it is certainly Eastern Europe's most economical place - at least of the countries I visited, which was most of them.

BTW, I see some guys think that Romanians are Slavic. They are not. I thought they would be given the region, but I was quickly corrected by many Romanian girls. As you might expect from Roman-ia, that area was settled by the Romans, hence the modern day affection to the Italians, I guess. Unlike Serbia, Bulgaria, Slovenia and Bosnia, the Romanians seem to have a even lighter complexion and slightly more striking features. I would say they are closer to the appearance of hungarians than the slavs. I'm no etymologist, so this is just my observation.

One thing to mention, is that the girls know that foreigners always say that Romania has the hottest girls. I would frequently be asked, "tell me really why you are visiting Romania." It's tempting to say "because the girls are hot", but try to avoid that approach. Their hot-ness doesn't seem to go to their heads... at least the ones I met.

I'm an Afr-Am guy, and I've never been to Romania...but, I was approached by 2 tall (one blond, one raven), Romanian chicks in a club in Barcelona. We ended up doing a triplet in my hotel room. Brothas would kill in Romania without a doubt.

Romanian chicks do have an distinctive look about them. Some have a 'Latina' look. Bulgarian chicks really have a distinctive look. Hard to describe as they don't look like chicks from anywhere else in the world. I dig that "Bulgarian look" mucho. I have both Romanian and Bulgarian chicks on my FB friends who are smokin' hott. Both are to do countries for me, mos def.

BTW, the Bucharest club Bellagio has an outpost in Mamaia (Romanian seaside resort town). I think the better bet for the hottest chicks during summer (June-Sept) would be hittin' up the club in Mamaia.

Good call on Mamaia - didn't know about that... I'm thinking about putting all my stuff in storage here in San Fran and getting a one way ticket to Bucharest for the next few months. I would definitely hit up the Black Sea area because hot Romanian broads + hot weather is a recipe for constant shagging.

How did Croatia and Montenegro compare?

Did you hit up the beach in Romania? Or any smaller towns?

Did you think you could have done similar damage w/o couchsurfing?

If you were to go to Croatia - I would only recommend you hit Zagreb. Dubrovnik and Split are beautiful, but they are similar to Venice in terms of the fact they are overwhelmed with fat American and British tourists, so the people are very jaded. I could also recommend Osijek, Croatia because that's off the beaten path and they have a lot of hot women there. If you go to Osijek, you may as well take the train over to Novi Sad, Serbia - you won't be disappointed there either.

I didn't hit up the beach on the east coast of Romania because I was just too busy and overwhelmed with chicks in Bucharest. However, if I were staying longer - like a month or two, I would definitely take the train over to the beach. I heard Varna in Bulgaria is awesome during the summer. I would also hit up Brasov and other smaller towns if I go back for a longer period of time.

As for whether I could do the same amount of damage without couchsurfing - I probably could, but I wouldn't have had the running head start like I did when I arrived in Bucharest with 5 dates already lined up with girls that appeared to be hotties - which they all were. Another interesting anecdote.... of the 59 messages I sent to separate girls on Couchsurfing in Bucharest - I received 42 replies. That's a tremendous response rate.... My message was very non-agressive... just stated that I was visiting their city for the first time and would like to learn more about the culture and the people - so would they be available on (insert day here) afternoon to meetup for a coffee or drink.

Being an American actually gets you quite far in Romania and Bulgaria - much moreso than any other country I've visited.
