Steve is a 48 year old American now living in Bratislava, Slovakia. Steve has spent the last 12 years performing mind-defying pickups of young beauties all over eastern and central europe, and is currently a dating consultant and paid speaker on seduction and pickup.
Before one hunts, he must know his target. If you don’t know what a deer looks like, you shouldn’t be roaming around in the forest hunting for one. Likewise, when your goal is to pickup European babes, it’s prudent to know the mindset of the modern European woman!
Anyone who has lived or traveled in Europe is acutely aware of one fact; the cultures that make up Europe are very diverse. A would-be pickup artist simply can not use the same tactics in southern Italy as he does in Paris or London. It’s like a hunter using the same ammunition for rabbits as he does for elephants! Know your target culture, and adapt your PUA style to fit.
Since we amply cover how to game the various European girls using different seduction methodologies in the European Seduction Techniques guides, I want to talk about the general differences in mindset between European girls and their American counterparts.
To begin, let’s look at the typical 25 year old you might meet in a decent night club in an average American city…
- Huge bitch shield defense mechanism, active on all nights out
- Has plenty of cock-blockers protecting her from seduction
- Gets a “2 point” self-awarded bonus for being a woman (a 7 thinks she’s a 9, etc)
- First screening criteria is material things (job, car, of approaching man)
- Successful pickup results in woman’s phone number
Anyone who has tried to pickup girls in USA and UK finds the above list to be all too familiar! Any pickup artist operating there has been shot down countless times - make no mistake about it. American girls are known for their quick trigger fingers, and many of them hit hard and fast at any man who dare approach them! It’s funny now, looking back after several years in Europe, at the crash & burn outcomes of some of my approaches.
In Europe, it’s a different story. While it’s impossible to cover every European culture in this short article, let’s take a look at central europe as an example. By this, I mean a typical girl one might find in Prague, Munich, or Vienna…
- Bitch shield only turns on at her discretion - normally off
- Her friends are amiably envious when she’s hit on
- Gets no point bonus for having a vagina (until after 2am!)
- First screening criteria is to be entertained or charmed
- Successful pickup is up to the imagination of the seducer
If you look closely at both lists above, you’ll notice that the deck is clearly stacked in your favor with European girls! In terms of seduction, European girls clearly want to be seduced, while their American counterparts, if judged solely on their initial warmth level, might be mistaken for antisocial lesbians.
Fact is, American girls have tight standards. The 25 year old above might demand a 26-29 year old white, professional, well-educated, and charismatic suitor. In Europe, the vast majority of girls are more interested in how nice, cool (confident), entertaining (funny) you are than in material things. Of course you’ll find gold-diggers in Europe, but at nowhere near the frequency as in USA (or UK).
So, how does one seduce a European woman? That’s what we’re here to find out, right? Let me be honest. There is no “magic bullet” in seduction. And those of you who have read my Seducing Eastern Europe Guide or the Seduction Bible know all too well the various angles one must play and what turns European girls on (and off!).
European girls don’t care about age - honestly. After I turned 40, I could pickup 19 year olds every night if I wanted (and many nights I did!). They normally don’t even ask your age…..and if they do, be certain it’s a congruency test - respond confidently and you pass. There is no magic age line that they won’t cross, like there is with American girls. Just two weeks ago I turned down a frisky 17 year old girl, and I’ve had so many college girls rock my world after meeting them in a bar earlier in the night - that I’m convinced age just doesn’t matter with European girls!
Another pleasant surprise I’ve uncovered in European girls is that they love novelty. If you’re an American or British guy in certain towns & villages, if you run tight game as we talk about in the Seduction Bible, you’ll pull girls from bars in less than 5 minutes regularly. I’m not exaggerating - more times than I can count I’ve been dragged out of a club by a college girl and rushed into a cab, only to end up being ravaged by her in an apartment or dorm room minutes later! Make no mistake; I’m under no illusions that these hot girls had always dreamt of an overweight, balding 40 something! lol It’s simply that the western novelty factor trumps nearly all other DHV you can imagine, if played correctly.
Being able to capitalize on this novelty with European girls is not always easy, however. One must play the game like a seasoned poker player. Know when to wear your nationality on your sleeve, and when to keep quiet. There is danger along with delicious fruits awaiting a western man in the east. But alas, I’ve once again strayed from topic, which was supposed to be comparing European girls to Americans!
When one intends to seduce European girls, he is wise to follow some practical guidance in order that his plans may bear fruit. Always study as much as possible the culture that you’ll be picking up in, know the turn-ons and taboos of the girls, and play your cards correctly. Picking up girls in Europe has been the passion of my life for the last 12 years, and I’m convinced there is no greater reward on the planet than those so deliciously and generously given out by a properly seduced European woman!
Your Friend,
Steve
