RE: Paris vs South of France
1bliss,
Are you going for a short visit or to stay for an extended period? How's your French?
Here's my view: I'm French and grew up in South West France. Paris is nice and all but it's been going downhill big time to the point of becoming dangerous in a lot of places as it's overrun by ghetto boys, specially Maghrebians (north africans). Girls are very sexy and fashionable but you'd need fluent French there, a good social network and deep pockets in Paris to tap into the higher calibre of Parisian women. Your easiest targets there are the tourist girls.
South East France and la cote d'Azur (Cannes, Nices, Antibes and St Tropez are the playgrounds of the rich and famous. So unless you're loaded big time, speak fluent French and have a strong local network, it will be a constant struggle to compete with guys with bottomless pockets. Your best bet in the south east would be a city like Montpellier, which is a decent sized but major university town. People are less pretentious and cliquish than in the above mentioned cities on the Riviera.
I'd strongly suggest you to consider the south West as people are very laid back there, friendly and the girls are very approachable. Make sure your French is tight to get the best looking girls. You can easily build a strong social circle there in a month or two if you get involved in some kind of club or association there. The food in the south west is IMO the best in France. The region boasts some of the absolute best wines in the whole world. And the weather is awesome. As a matter of fact, south West France is considered the California of Europe for its warm weather all year long.
Hope this helps man.

RE: Paris vs South of France
Mixx, compadre,
Lyon would be a good option, it's a very international/cosmopolitan city. It's the 2nd biggest city in France and has a very chill atmosphere, a lot more chill and down to earth than snobish and clickish Paris. Bordeaux and Bergerac would be good options too, specially Bordeaux. It's a very nice sophisticated city with an intellectual/artisty feel to it. It's a major university town so lots of talent there, both French and foreigners. There are good beaches within driving distance (Arcachon with its high dunes similar a bit to the coast around Fortaleza in North East Brasil with amazing views. Great for surfing. If you want world class beaches for surfing, drive a couple of hours south of Bordeaux to Biarritz where you have awesome partying specially in the summer filled with sexy, hot North European girls vacationing and letting loose.
Your spanish and portuguese will definitely come in handy specially around Bordeaux and the south west if you venture around Biarritz, Bayonne, Anglet, St-Jean-de-Luz and Hendaye as it's just minutes from the Spaniard border and very hot Spanish and Portuguese girls go there vacationing. One tip: since French people in general LOVE Brasil and Brasilians, I'd suggest you use that to your advantage. Introduce yourself as the cool Brasileiro from Miami Beach and watch the panties drop in a hot beat...  No kidding man. That's what I do when in France, I tell them I'm brasileiro and it's show time despite me being French.
When are you thinking of going to France Mix? Btw, it's le seducteur in French. Any more questions, post them here man.

Salut!
What about places like Lyons? Would it still be better to head to Bordeaux, Bergerac? My French is beginner-intermediate, but I speak Portuguese and Spanish, so I can understand 60% of French when spoken to me easily.
Merci!
Le seductor, Mixx

RE: Paris vs South of France
If your French is fluent, that's definitely going to make things a lot easier than someone not knowing a lick of French. If money is not an issue and you have at least 10k Euro/month, then head for the French Riviera if you want to have a test of the high life, or even better, go to any of the cities mentioned in that thread so far and you'd be a mega player balling it big time and you'd be THE big fish in a small pond.
If you're budget is less than 5kEuro/month, then I'd forget about la cote d'Azur and head to south West France in either Bordeaux or Toulouse, another excellent location, MAJOR university town, filled with hotties both local than foreign. Another important positive fact about Toulouse is that you're only 5-6 hours drive from Barcelona or 1 hour flight, so going away on weekends there is relatively easy.
I would have suggested also Strasbourg in the extreme north east accross the German border as the people and girls are very laid back, friendly and all but the weather is brutal there, specially in the winter, think -10 -15C. Personally, I'd stick with either Bordeaux, Toulouse or Montpellier if I were looking to spend extensive time in France because of not only the above factors but also the weather as the winter is relatively warm there.

Say for instance money was not an issue, you would recommend which? and if one was on a budget, which would you recommend?
thanks!

RE: Paris vs South of France
@VP
I have not made it to Montreal as I have been getting SO MUCH ASS in Fargo for being a Latin guy with a tan from local college girls.
I did go to Winnipeg, and my experience in Winnipeg was a disappointment sadly.
I only banged 1 girl the 3 days I was there, and it was not because of game, but because she wanted her Spanish flag.
Winnipeg girls LOVE black men, and do not get excited over Latin men. If you are black, DEFINITELY go to Winnipeg.
My backup was Poland, so I may go there and Thailand
Also, everything that could have gone wrong, went wrong.
It took my motivation to go to Canada and just slay Canadian girls on vacation in Miami.
I got 10x more ass in one week in Fargo.

Ok, thanks, I meant as compared with other Western European capitals. More exactly I am interested in "hipster girls" or more arty girls and students. Personally I game them on day time basis (universities etc.) Night time I game them on pubs, dressing a little bit up scale (suite, tie etc.) which I have found effective (in Stockholm that is to say). I'm interested of Paris and France, partly because of the girls, partly to practice the language. But I don't want to waste my time if the kind of game I practice is ineffective in a city like Paris, e.g. Quartier Latin etc.
My alternative option is some city in Eastern Europe.

"I just got done studying in Paris and I thought the city was awesome as well as the people (contrary to popular belief)."
How about breaking down a Data Sheet on Paris?
We are pretty light in that area, and I am sure you have tons of good info to share.
Paris Contrary to what most people say the Parisians are actually really friendly people. However attempting any french with a Parisian will definitely ensure a better relationship. The locals just want to hear you attempt the language even it is as simple as "Bonjour (Hello) or "Je Prend (Ill have...)." The girls here are also gorgeous and there are endless things to do at night. On the Champ des Elysses there are plenty of posh, chic clubs that are actually reasonably priced, unlike everything else here. Also if you are into high end fashion there are big name designer shows you can actually get tickets to. You can also head down to the St. Michel area where everyone just grabs a few bottles of wine and drinks by the river (great place to meet groups of girls). The food here is also amazing, but it doesnt always come cheap. However, compared to the rest of Europe I wouldnt say Paris prices are significantly higher unlike London or any city in Switzerland. Also, the nicer areas in Paris are the 16th, 7th, 8th and 1st arrondissments. This is the place where people who have money live. Up North in the 18th arrondissment there is Montmarte which overlooks the city and there is always something going on here during the weekend. Lots of people just drinking right below the Sacred Coer Church. Be careful after 1 AM because it can start getting kind of ghetto and muggings do happen.
For G Manifesto- I know you like clubs and I would suggest Le Duplex, Buddha Bar on a Friday or Saturday. Club is poppin and there are beautiful women everywhere just waiting to be taken back somewhere.

RE: Paris vs South of France

If you are going to throw money around, and I mean lots of money like 10K Euros per day on parties, yachts, and cars - YOU BETTER GET LAID, or you may as well castrate yourself. Although that looks like fun (if you have the cash of a Saudi Prince), I don't think I'd want to hook up with gold-digging bitches pictured in this video. I see that in Miami everywhere.
I use to have that lifestyle (Ferrari, yachts and beach condos), and then I realized that getting the same good looking woman to fuck me by the words and actions I do, VS the money I floss was 10x more satisfying.
However, I'm older now. I would rather walk to fuck a herd of women, than to run and fuck just one. Young cats will likely not understand that philosophy.
