I think it would take a guy like that to be able to penetrate an ethnic enclave and do well.

They tend to hang with themselves but a non Russian jew can penetrate.
Jewish guys are 2nd in the hierarchy..even with the non jewish FSU folks. Explanation:The Russian community is headed by the jewish Russians. Of course that leads to a lot of mixing in social situations. Many even went to yeshivas to learn English or they take advantage of the scholarships offered.
But again....whats the bonus?
They start behaving like entitled American materialistic chicks pretty fast. There is a big difference between the girls I dated who immigrated to the USA and my wife who came here to be with me. She still cooks and cleans and has kept in shape, etc, even after 12 years. The American ones put on the weight after a while and become feminized and want you to care about their job lol.

Quote:I watched the Vice episode a long time ago.
Before I watch the other videos I have to say that, I felt some type of way seeing this dude. I agree with Eddie's view on it at the end of the episode
Yea he may have made a decent living in Russia..but I feel like its at the expense of promoting stereotype. The whole BET black dude isn't what I like to see when I travel the world.
Im a professional dude thats pulled all over Europe and I hate running into those chicks that approach me trying to talk in ebonics..

Interesting..

Personally, I didn't think he was acting coonish at all. He talks like he has some sense and appears to be cool as a fan and speaks fluent Russian to top it off. He's exhibit A of what every Brotha should strive for minus the dressing in drag bit.

Quote:or meeting those random african dudes that are pretending to be from atlanta or NYC walking around in basketball jerseys.

Funny you mention this, every Black dude I meet overseas, whether American or not claims he's from NY even if he's one of the only two Black dudes who live on Zainesville OH or something... Remind me of that 'Em line "Claiming Detroit, when y'all live twenty miles away."

Quote:Now you see the disgusting "art" of twerking being done by flatbacked russian girls...They should be off playing piano or doing gymnastic.

This.

Even the fellas at WordStarr Hip Hop have been bit by the Slavic bug. Every other girl in their "Hip Hop Honey" site is Russian/Ukranian with negative ass.

And one more thing on that thick girl Sourcecode posted:



Now when girls on dating sites call themselves "curvy" this is what the word curvy should mean. I draw a line between curvy or thick and a girl being fat. This chic has a good hip to waist ratio, nice tone, no belly protrusion, no cellulite. She's not fat, she's a genuinely thick/curvy girl that wears it well.

My main problem with thick girls is that it's nice thick when she's 23, and by 35 it's one big sack of cellulite. What's the difference between thick and fat they ask?...about one decade.

Too thick for me but you brought back some memories from art history classes.

It was pretty sweet seeing some of the paintings in real life that we studied in school. I always enjoyed the caravaggio paintings and how he used his reds.

What does he say about the girls? Why did he choose Russia if its an uphill battle?

I've watched a good amount of his videos. He says he's not there for girls, but for work. He gets flown around Russia by different companies to teach English and seems he's a bit of a mini-celebrity. He doesn't openly talk too much about what he's doing with the girls. Which is probably smart given that he has neo-nazis in Russia watching him and leaving hate in the youtube comments. The Slavic Union guys would probably kill him if they found him on the street alone. Says he's had knives pulled on him by skinheads in the street and gets sieg heils all the time. But you can read between the lines. Sounds like he's killing it over there because he's got a good setup and network. He says he doesn't advise black dudes going over there to game and it can be pretty dangerous. He says it's okay for him because he's pretty well protected when he goes out by local gangsta Russian dudes he's cool with. That blonde girl Sascha is his girlfriend.

TL;DR : All in all he emphatically tells black dudes to stay the fuck home and don't come to Russia unless you've got mad connections and protection like him.

He also says Russian girls are hot, but that Ukrainian girls are his favourite. He also praises them for staying thin, in comparison to American girls.





Go to 4:10, I think he'd get a lot of hate from jealous feminists if he had a bigger audience.

Some good information. He sounds like a pretty cool guy to me. Definitely impacts any plans I even thought about having to visit Russia. Even with my no problems trip to Ukraine, there is no way I would touch it right now. I was planning to return this summer, and have a friend who lives in the western part of the country who is just saying to stick to Odessa and Crimea and I will be ok...but even with that IDK. I think I will just opt out this year until the situation all shakes out.

I can definitely agree on the women though. Ukrainian women are hot, and the ones here for the most part are not quite the same. I have met more FSU women here in my home city since I returned than I have in my whole life here (its funny how that works out), but they don't hold a candle to the talent level I saw in Kiev. There is a big difference...maybe you can blame Americanization, food and lifestyle differences, whatever, but there is a difference.

I don't think he'd get hate just for comparing looks. All guys do that. The bloggers that catch the ire of feminists are those who write about culture wars; as in specifically trying to confront feminists/women with some kind of ideas that challenges their way of being.

Post: #39

Goog show, Philko or Philochko as he likes to be called IMHO "is to Youtubesphere what RooshV is to the manosphere". By his own account he has over 4 million views on youtube and several million on VK.com. Having watched a few of his video's I suspect
most of his followers are the under 30 demographic, internationally based and with plenty of followers across both genders. He has carved a niche for himself and seems in no way to be slowing down, releasing multiple videos & posts every day not just on Russian culture-events, but on International happenings as well.

This guy is very outgoing, good looking, smart, and very opinionated(check his other videos, of which there are 100s). I wouldn't be surprised if "he was already talking while being delivered in the ER" He is a natural extrovert and not shy to peacock, wears hip-hop clothes even on the mean streets of Moscow,
traveling all over Russia and visiting all 1st tier and 2nd tier cities. I would put him as top 5% of all black guys who visit & work in Russia in terms of success in his field.

This guy has spent most of the last 4 years immersing himself in Russian culture and language & developing a niche in the ESL internet industry & becoming a social media personality via self-promotion online. Funny thing is he has BETA traits as he originally came to Russia because of a girl and even mentions around the 3:00 mark
that it's about the girls. (I doubt he would have gone to Russia if there were few good looking women and they were very conservative society(i.e., many middle eastern countries).

Nevertheless he managed to turn this goal into Alpha
game by getting invited/sponsored by multiple Russian companies. See his explanation here


so the pussy now is just a side benefit. It's interesting that he pulls off a VERY GOOD living and has almost
all his expenses covered by local companies. Initially the guy came from the ghetto and spent his own money and time every day to produce videos and to try to become popular. He has certainly paid his dues!

So my comments about the "fresh off the boat" video :
3:42 mark, primal racism/caveman racism - hes got that right, Russians are definitely not shy about speaking their mind.

4:39 mark, he mentions cops bothering foreigners and looking for a bribe; hollering at you (reminds me of Odessa when me and my wingman were night-gaming local girls and all of a sudden the local cop group grew from 1 to 4 cops and started following us). "Racial profiling" is a foreign term over there.

7:38 mark, chick has that typical Russian Blondie 7+ look (very nice!)

8:50-9:10 mark, As a Russophile I have experienced plenty of episodes in the FSU of local guys talking behind a westerners back...
the conversation of the 2 Russian guys from his video team and the use of the N word is classic Russian guy mindset.

10:25 - 10:30 mark, Eddie Huang throws up and passes out is funny sh!t. Don't want to stereotype Asians BUT Eddie Huang definitely stereo-types them whether he wants to or not. As in the stereo-type that Asians have low tolerance and can't hold their liquor.

11:20 mark, Eddie Huang has the hots for the Asian-Russian chick...damn that is nice! With his humour and American comedian angle he could be having girls like that every day in Russia.

Ain't it funny that Philochko is nowhere to be seen on the metro when Eddie is traveling. Wonder if he always travels by taxi/private car for safety!?

I like how he just deals with shit as it is and finds a way to prosper all the same. Racism or danger in Russia? Fine. I'm still going to get bitches, I'm going to make these friends, bribe these cops, and still live my life. That's admirable. That kind of mentality should serve him well wherever he goes after this experience.

I was reminded of what you said here when I just viewed this new video he posted of his commercial:





That is dope that he taught himself Russian, carved out a niche for himself on youtube and made shit happen. Even failed the first two times. His story is pretty inspiring. He's going to go places. If he's smart(which he is) he'll eventually start his own language school and have teachers working under him.

He gets lot of respect from me. A young dude having the vision and courage to step out like that...nice. And check out the females in the class? Not sure how prudent it would be for him to advertise it, but I think it's safe to say he's doin alright.

Late to this thread, but I just want to say that I don't like it. This guy is spreading American ghetto culture in one of the very few countries which has so far been able to resist it.

Do you guys really want to see more girls acting like this "Philochko" clown? It's exactly the kind of thing that could spread, just like sushi restaurants. The Russian mentality is often quite naive, especially when it comes to the girls. It comes from 300 years of the government controlling all information.

Same, not promoting racism, but i think its good that Russians are keeping themselves insular. Soon the country will become just like the West, if you keep importing all this western bullshit. At the moment the country is still on the low down with this hook up culture.

I think he is telling black people to stay away from Russia, because he has got it made there for him. being one of the few black guys there who is articulate, representing this western hip hop culture, puts him in high esteem, if more come over it won't be the same.

Post: #45

Correct - it has nothing to do with race. I also despise young white Anglophones who can't construct a sentence without using the word "like" and making a stupid expression.

Political correctness, which I consider equally as toxic as feminism, has made it impossible for anyone to publicly support nationalism. Whenever anyone does, they're immediately branded a neo-nazi.

I think he has also embellished his story quite a lot. His claims of being well connected don't add up when considering that he's working illegally, on a tourist visa, as many recreational English teachers do. It was not intelligent of him to tell the world about that on video, either.

Some updates from his VK account:

Quote:Something serious is going on right now...I hope I can attend class tomorrow

Quote:Hey is anyone a lawyer at all? I think some guys gave me a fake document to go to court. This is not cool

Post: #47

Maybe someone called the MVD.

Post: #48

Btw, don't know what to think about it. He is is aften claiming in his videos (almost to bragging level) how well connected he is there, but is asking around for a lawyer in public post. Quite strange.

I am not claiming to be well connected in Lviv and still I know who to call if I would need a trustable local lawyer.

Edit: I just read DaveR post above also questioning his connections there.

Quote:It was not intelligent of him to tell the world about that on video, either.

In 2011 I commented that I'm overstaying my EU tourist visa and some internet haters took to launch a public campaign where police were contacted.

If you achieve local notoriety, you have to make sure your hands are absolutely clean, because there will be haters who will spend a large amount of time trying to hurt you. I'll drop that I'm in a city/country occasionally so I can meet with my readers, but I won't make a production out of it. Also local fame is a fickle thing. One day you're soaking up the fame, thinking it will help you get women, and then the next thing is that it morphs into something else and your reputation is damaged.

Also Americans (like Philechko) have a different concept of fame. We think that any fame, no matter what it's based on, is great, but in Europe it really depends on what type of fame you have. Currently, I decline all European interviews.

Post: #50

It seems he is being targeted for immigration issues or working there on the wrong visa by the government after being tricked/denounced by English school workers who dislike him. He claims not to receive payment for teaching.





Worst case: he gets deported.
More likely case: he stops teaching English.
