My cost per notch in Europe (11 countries)
Temujin posted an interesting thread where he stated that money is the determining factor of whether a place is poosy paradise or not. My experience doesn't match that. Here is my cost per notch the past 20 months from cheapest to most expensive:
1. Lithuania
2. Finland
3. Poland
4. Croatia
5. Iceland
6. Sweden
7. Denmark
8. Estonia
9. Norway
10. Latvia
11. Ukraine
You see that it's all over the place, but Scandinavian countries show up well even though it's expensive. Look at Finland at number two and then Ukraine at the bottom. Norway beat it! Why? One reason is that it gets to the point where a country can be so poor that normal women can't go out often. If women can't go out at night and have fun (Colombia is another example), then I will be affected, because only with night game can I plow through a large quantity of women without dating.
Now if your game is about showing off money, then maybe it does make a difference if you have 3x more than the locals, but anyone who has met me knows that besides having good logistics, I don't put that out there. There are many contributing factors to success. Money is just one. It's funny that sometimes happening to live next to a cool bar will be the sole determinant in banging more girls.
Earn your stacks, but picking countries based on GDP numbers alone is not the answer. Poosy paradises requires a delicate balance of many factors that match your game and personality. The only way to find that is to hit a lot of places.

RE: My cost per notch in Europe (11 countries)
2 Presidente Light Jumbos= 200 pesos
1 Ham Sandwitch=150 pesos
1 Bag Doritos= 50 pesos
400 pesos= $10 usd
Cheap bangs.
El Salvador wasn't much different. General operating costs can add up in any country though. Taxis, food, hotels, flights, drinking, club fees, ect. I don't like to think about it, because pussy can cost some serious bank. Damn.

RE: My cost per notch in Europe (11 countries)
I've gotten laid (repeatedly) in Scandinavia, Western Europe, and Eastern Europe as well.
What I was trying to convey was that in my experience, having money (lots of it, compared to the locals) was a significant factor in raising the quality of women I nailed in Post-Soviet Europe with a lot less effort than I used to expend.
Obviously, other factors come into play beyond money. Language. Looks. Fashion. Sense of humor. Sexuality. Age. Local culture. The list goes on.
I can't speak for others, but there's something WRONG if you CAN'T get laid semi-consistently in a Post-Soviet country (apart from Ukraine/Russia, which I don't have experience living in). This happened even when I didn't have much money at all.
But what I've found is that as my income increased, I was able to lay higher quality women with less effort. Going hand-in-hand with this however, is that the amount of TIME I spent in a place also increased. Keep in mind, Roosh's time frame is a few week to a few months. Mine is a few years to up to 7 years in one location. So yes, I'll say it again, other factors come into play:
I've gotten older. I've developed a "rep". My knowledge of the local culture went up. My game developed. But in my experience, money talks.
I'd love to see some guy making $1000 USD per month (which is a whopping 772 euros by the way) replicate Roosh's notch count, travel schedule, and living arrangement for 20 months in Europe. If you can make that fly, hats off to you.
I also do find it interesting how some guys get so vehement about the significance of money in developing a lifestyle that's attractive to women. It almost seems like a knee-jerk "PUA herd mentality" response where guys seem to hope (wish?) that they can pull hotties at will while living in their parent's garage working at the local 7-11 earing $7 per hour...as long as they have game.

I'd rather let my money do the talking.
$200 haircut= bangs
Expensive clothes=bangs
Most expensive hotel in town=bangs

RE: My cost per notch in Europe (11 countries)
There is actually a point where poverty causes more difficulty than facilitation.Ukraine is below this point,Poland is above thi spoint.That is let's say as income declines from 2500 euro per month(German standard) to 600 euro per month(polish standard),the chances to bed hot women are multiplied accordingly.However when you cross the 300 euro per month point and reach the 150 euro per month(as is the case in Ukraine) the difficulty can grow steeply ragarding some factors contributing to bangs.
This does not mean that Ukraine is more difficult than Poland but that some factors are better in Poland than in Ukraine due to better income levels which however lose value when transfered to high German income levels.
Income below the 300 euro line means lack of middle class and lack of infrustructure.It is more of a cowboy place.If you like rough,decadent,adventurous places with risk involved,high spending,high rewards then Ukraine is better.If you like more smooth sailing,less risk,less adventure,more comfort Poland is better.Generally I prefer rough,uncomfortable,adventurous places and my high point is when I see many Ladas.A place with lots of Lada cars is ideal since it means the infrsutructure there is non existant as the wage level is below 200 euro per month.

1. Have a high % of English speakers
2. Have a skewed male to female ratio in the major cities
3. Have ugly, badly dressed local men
4. Have no major business industry or multinational corporations (which would increase competition by providing yuppie salaries and well-paid expat transplants...for example, Kazakhstan from all reports has quite a few oil company workers on huge salaries)
5. Have a godless, atheistic populace
6. Have lack of major/frequent air connections (which means less staggers, foreign men, and thus, competition or spoilage of local female attitudes)
I agree with the godless atheistic populace.This plays definitely a role in russia,Belarus and CR.What is surprising for many is that polish and Croatian girls are easy despite being catholic.Actually I gave to catholicism +1 point and to protestantism 0.(despite the latter being theoretically more liberal in fact it increases personal responsibility and makes girls very choice aware and stingy).
Orthodxy is even better because in orthodoxy the more sinns you have the more you are likely to be forgiven.
Another disputed factor is EU membership.By some when a country enters the EU its value lowers about 3 points.(for several factors).
If we lower 3 points for EU membership Poland and Croatia get to 5 points,Ukraine stays at 7 and Russia at 8.Actually this is the perception that many guys have for these countries.

Yeah, bro, Ladas are the sign life can be an ADVENTURE! If they're still fixing those mofos up, you are in a place where life still has TEXTURE, can be an adventure, not like a computerized video game. Like efficient America, where emotion is seen as a problematic aberration and lust a severe problem with adjustment.
In mental health, there is a type of delusion among psychotics that the people around them are robots, not real humans.
The thing is, in America, sometimes it seems to me they are almost right ....

If you don't count it this way, then it's possible for ONS countries to have almost a $0 CPN (or negative, if girls buy you shit).
Roosh, would it have been possible for you to afford the cost per lay for your Europe trip, when you started out 5 years ago in South America?
I ask this because I lived, studied and traveled throughout Europe in my late teens and early 20´s. Looking back, with my limited budget (sometimes about $30 day when backpacking) that money would have gone alot farther and got me laid alot more in Colombia, Brazil or the DR(especially at the time).
Though money aint everything, it seems like in Europe one needed and needs a certain base amount (that is higher than most of Latin America) to get laid regularly. In my young years in Europe I could not afford to go to most decent clubs, buy girls drink or take them on a decent date. I had my hands tied behind my back. Most of my bangs were hostel girls. Should have gone to Europe later when my bankroll was higher.
