Her: "How long are you staying in Iceland?"
You: "Depends on if you'll marry me."

I will send a $5 bill to anyone that does this and posts his results.

No mas: great report. I find your observations to be in line with what I experienced. My only complaint is that I think you're overhyping the appearance of the women. They're cuter than American girls, but I can't say it's better than many other places I've been.

Yeah, should've mentioned in background that I haven't been to any of the other "Hot" spots (brazil, EE, scandanavia, etc) so this is just a comparison to US eastcoast cities. NYC has a lot of talent for sure but the chicks are so much work, loved how easy it was in Iceland so that's probably why I'm raving about it. Looking forward to reading up on spots for my next trip!

Rude, How much did you pay for your tickets to Iceland from Toronto?
I'm finding the tickets to be incredibly expensive for a short trip(1000 bucks with tax included being the minimum) for Jan-Feb.

[rudebwoy]

Torontokid - Wow that is pricey and the price looks like it is going up. I paid around 3/4 the price of that.

My first post here. Just got back from Iceland and thought I'd add to the observations with my experience there. I'm omitting names and abbreviating some of the venue names since I might be going back in October. If you read previous Iceland posts you can probably figure out the venues.

Me: AA, Tan, 5'11, 210lbs, 30s. West coast.

Went there for 8 days for an IT related convention. Bad timing since it was a sausage fest, and only got 1 weekend. Another mistake, I didn't do enough research - and didn't read bang Iceland until Saturday afternoon

Wednesday: Went to Den Danske Kro. Good beer selection, was packed with groups. Looks like mostly UK tourists, bunch of 4-5s. Chatted up the cute 6.5 bartender, but got nowhere. I guess it's tougher to bang bartenders there compared to Vegas.

Thursday: Had a formal dinner @ Harpa related to the convention. Tried talking to one decent looking waitress - about a 6. Got nowhere also. So I decided to switch targets. (at this point I didn't know it's useless to approach them sober)

Friday: Pub crawl - went to like 6 different bars. Our group had a 7 as a tour guide. Since we keep moving bars and no other prospects in the group, I started working on her. Since she wasn't drinking, had to buy her a couple of drinks to loosen her up. Ended up in AR around midnight, and we started dancing. Got interrupted constantly by people she knows, so I walked away for a bit. One of the convention goers had his wife with him, probably a 6-6.5. Thrashed and looked horny as hell. She was rubbing on some other guys while the hubby just watches. I caught her in the back of the smoking room and got some tongue, but then she threw up and passed out 10 mins later. Disgusted, I left around 3. (yes, too damn early - I swear I'll do my research first next time).

Saturday: Armed with bang Iceland, I slept until midnight. Woke up for the GusGus/HAM concert at Harpa. It was a cockfest, so I bought a beer and went outside. Another lesson learned: winds are strong enough to blow away a full glass beer bottle.

Went to Zimsen from there, which is a good college bar with a dance floor, and it was loaded with 7-9s at 1 AM. I picked a spot at the bar and waited. An 8 came up to get a drink. She pulled out a perfume bottle and start spraying herself. Me: "Wow that is strong.. what is that?" Her, with a condescending look: "Burberry"
Turns out she's a model for the fashion event going on that week. Conversation didn't last long, and she went back to her friends.

2nd girl came up. Paid for her drink with a debit card with a picture on it. I said, "Hey whose card are you using? That's not yours". She got defensive, "No it's mine, it's an old card that's my 8th grade photo on it". I thought LOL I'm going to hell. I was like, "I don't believe you, show me some proof!". And I held on to her debit card. (In Vegas she probably would've called security on me). So she went to her table and got her purse to show me her id. Everything was going smooth, and the tour guide from the night before e-mailed me to tell me she's back @ AR. So I planned a venue change to AR to see if I can game both girls.

The girl agreed to go to AR, but she wants to use the bathroom first. I was like ok I'll be here. She took her drink with her, and when she came back there was another guy with her. "Oh this is my friend so and so, and he spilled my drink so he's gonna buy me another one". Fuckin' betas. So the guy started talking to her in Icelandic and pretty much cockblocked me solid. Disappointed, I decided to meet up with the tour guide at AR anyways.

It was almost 3 am and there's a long line outside Austur. (Damn even in Vegas the line stops at 2 usually.) I finally got in, saw the tour guide, and she introduced me to a table full of her friends, 2 guys, 4 girls. Out of the 2 available girls, I started working the cuter one, a solid 7. She was already drunk and talkative. Problem is, she wanted to talk about politics and US foreign policy.. I was like wtf. 30 minutes into it, she let on that she has a bf and the bf is a bartender upstairs. *facepalm*

It was almost 5am, no other prospects in sight, so I decided to try the street game. I went to the main square by the hotdog stand, where they have a few food trucks. Burger and beer in hand, I started people watching. A girl approached me and asked if she can have a sip. She asked where I'm from and if I was alone. I was like, "Thank you Jesus!" Then the light hit her face and I just thought, "Awww fuck." I really didn't want to get a flag from a at most 5 cougar, blonde blue eyes or not.

So dick in hand, I decided to walk away and go back to my hotel. I thought this trip was a bust for sure.

Sunday: Went on the tour to see northern lights (which is somewhat a scam, I had to go multiple times just to barely see them). Bus was empty, but there was a jacket left behind where the best seats were. I sat down anyways, maybe someone just forgot it. Not 5 minutes later, a cute girl walked up indignantly claiming I stole her seat. Quick judgment call, I told her that my long legs don't fit in the regular seats (which is true). She said fine you can sit next to me. YES!

Turns out she's from Austria, living in London. (so does that count for 3 flags?) Amazingly, she's really young but well traveled and educated. We talked for almost the entire tour. She's almost completely wrapped in like 8 layers of clothing so skin to skin contact was almost impossible. I tried to get her back to my hotel for drinks, but got cockblocked by the bus driver who went to her hostel first I decided to just hop off at her hostel to try to close. Ended up with a hug and a phone #, plus a dinner/tour date the next day. Walked 15 minutes back to my hotel in 30 degree rainy weather. Bah.

Monday: Had dinner, went on the tour again to catch the lights, which we finally did. Hugged and finally kissed her while freezing our asses off outside waiting for the lights by the shore. When back to my hotel, put on some music, and OMFG she's a freak in bed. By the time we're done it was almost 5am.

Tuesday: Blue lagoon. That place is so awesome I went 3 times. We went together, and it was the most fun I had not fully naked. The water is milky so you can actually do it there without anyone seeing. (well except if your facial expression is a dead giveaway). She spent the night again, but we were both pretty tired so we were done by 2am.

Wednesday: Dreaded 12 hour flight back to the US. Didn't end up sampling the local produce, but I got a new TFWB that's actually into threesomes with other girls! I guess just like poker, it definitely helps if you know the game, but luck also plays a major factor. Before I sometimes mistook luck for skill, which I realize I didn't really have any back then.

Overall a great trip. I'd recommend Iceland if you never been there, but read all the guides and for God's sake buy alcohol at the airport and buy a shitload of them. I had to pay $100 for 1L Tanqueray and 1L local vodka.

Centerhotels are a good bet if you're not into the hostel scene, rooms are nice and they're about $50-$75 a night. The alcohol in the in-room minibar are a lifesaver if you need some fast after 1AM on weekdays. You can also pretty much walk to all the good bars on Laugavegur from any Centerhotel.

Feel free to PM me if you're going there and need some local info.

[Yams]

So there was no mention Bang Iceland from the locals when you said you were from the US? It would appear that the fiasco surrounding the publication of the book has subsided for the most part. I would still love to go back for a week since I still got contacts there.

Oh come on man!!! You turned down zero effort Icelandic sex!!!!!!

But yeah, that is exactly how it goes down.

[TTG]

No mention of Bang Iceland at all. They have a pretty short attention span. When I was there people were talking about Game of Thrones, an Iceland TV series that I guess hit it big in the US and Europe.

@Roosh: Yes, it's a cardinal sin to turn down free pussy.. but I figured I can always bang 40-year-olds when I'm 55. I'd probably make an exception for hot cougars.. but most of the girls over 30 I ran into in Reykjavik just look so worn out. Must be the constant boozing and smoking.

Really fair-skinned people don't age well. Scandinavian women hit their wall in the late 20s.

Nice Report!

I love the way you did not give up.
Did you read my report earlier, i think you missed the best club to go too. AR I assume is Austur club right?
What did you think of the girls overall?

I tend to get good hotel deals on booking.com, I don't do hostels and they seem to be almost the same price in Iceland.

I saw the bar list, but I couldn't find neither Hresso nor Bakkus. There's another bar where Bakkus was supposed to be on the en.ja.is map. Maybe Bang Iceland forced them to change their name?

Ya it's Austur.. what the heck, the contacts I made there didn't really make an effort to keep in touch anyways.

I prefer the girls there compared to the US. More approachable, skinnier, better options (I shoot for 7s and the occasional 6.5s.. 6s near closing time but never under). I would say there were 6-7 decent looking ones out of every 10 that I see in the bars/clubs, even on the streets, where it's the inverse of that here.

Which is bad since I got used to the eye candy in Reykjavik, when I landed back @ JFK and looked at the people there, I immediately regretted coming home and thought FML.

This is all great information. Thanks for sharing.

Just curious -- how many Eastern European countries (and which ones) have you been to? I ask because I have not found any place with the sheer concentration of beautiful women as I have along the Northern Beltway of Hotness that extends from Scandinavia all the way east towards Siberia. Always been curious how Iceland might compare.

I have never been to any EE countries however many lived in Iceland and they were beautiful.

what countries have you been to? i Want to know what countries are supposedly to be not as good as Iceland.

[Caligula]

Bakkus is still around as far as I know. It's right next to a rock bar which may have caused the confusion.

Hresso is across the street from the 10-11 supermarket.

[Caligula]

As promised, here's a report from Iceland.

These observations support what's in Bang Iceland; the examples just add some colour, depth and extra tips to what Roosh wrote.

Quick note on the girls: Been going to Iceland for years but I was dismayed at how fat the girls have gotten. You'll see a lot of girls who would be model quality but for the extra weight. Summer is better than winter since they're not hiding any surprises behind five layers.

Personality-wise Icelandic girls can be very sweet and charmingly straightforward (as you'll see later).

Stats: one week, two new notches (almost three!), four hangovers, too much money dropped behind bars.

THURSDAY

Got there on a Thursday morning.

It was 18C degrees, but the sun was strong and it felt a whole lot hotter. It's you can actually run day game out while drinking in public. So I dropped my bags off at a friend's place and sat around most of the day drinking beer on Austurvollur (the grass-covered square in front of parliament).

Students were out in force, tanning their pale skin and drinking beer. We positioned ourselves on the grass next to a couple of late-teens girls hanging out with their herb friend. They were taking pictures on an iPhone and I offered to take their picture. Grabbed their phone, set it to take the picture on the camera facing me, took a Caligula self-portrait, handed it back to them saying "you look extremely hot in that picture". They thought it was hilarious and we scooted over to join them.

We bantered for a few minutes. Then hit a brick wall. They weren't really cold, they just didn't know how to hold a conversation.

Lesson one: Bait doesn't work on Icelandic girls. I dropped big bait, small bait, everything. Spaced it out with other banter, but eventually I had to stop at risk of sounding try-hard. They just didn't bite. This happened repeatedly in Iceland, both at night and during the day. Over the following days I noticed again and again that hints are usually overlooked. They're not playing coy, they genuinely don't give a shit about you and about the rest of the world. Stick to talking about people they know or (maybe) celebrities, etc.

Day became night (not that you'd be able to tell from the sun, it stays up all night this time of year). I bar hopped, already worse for wear from quaffing beer in the sun.

First Kaffibarinn, still very quiet at around 10pm. Then Bakkus (which by the way has moved, Bakkus is now along Laugavegur. Same vibe as the old place, but bigger venue). It was uneventful. About an hour from closing my friend and I started talking to some girls. Knowing that we were nearing closing time I was working the angle for an afterparty. At around 1am the girls and I bought some booze 'to go' from another bar and got a cab to one girl's place across the lake.

Drank and had an interesting conversation about dating in Iceland. One was 20 and the other was 29, both blondes. The 29 year old was tired of the night scene in Reykjavik and wanted a stronger a dating culture. Both girls acknowledged that a dating culture doesn't really exist there. I observed that if I approached a girl in the street and tried to chat her up she'd think it mildly amusing at best and probably downright weird. The 20 year old agreed and said she'd just be wondering why the guy approaching her didn't know anyone already, or if he wasn't from Iceland that he just wanted a quick fuck.

Lesson two: Amused mastery and an easy understanding of dating can help get you laid. Kept the conversation light and playful showing an understanding of how they think. This isn't unique to Iceland. At the very least it gets them intrigued and gets some good conversation going - after all you're talking about them. Anyone else notice this?

Anyway, before long 20 year old and me were on a sofa in the living room pounding away like rabbits.

FRIDAY

Drunk off my Thursday night success I was excited about Friday night. Pre-gamed and got ready. Started off at Faktory at midnight and then hit Boston. Ran into girls I'd seen the night before. When in Iceland I recommend building familiarity and rapport with as many people as possible. You'll see why later.

Approached a lot but got nowhere beyond a five-minute chat here and a fifteen-minute chat there. In keeping with the atmosphere I was well in my cups and got ever less coherent. Ended up at Kaffibarinn at around 4am. Plenty of people clearly in the middle of a blackout, Caligula approaching a blackout and a generally unpleasant atmosphere that I probably contributed to by pushing everyone in sight and joining the sweat-drenched mosh pit that is late night at Kaffibarinn.

When the bar closed I stepped out into the blazing 5am sunlight to start hollering at anything in sight. Chatted to a woman with short hair in her mid or late thirties. She looked busted, but the makeup and my beer goggles took the edge off. She was into it so we made out in an alley, locked hands and started strolling back to her place. To assuage my misgivings I reminded myself of Roosh's maxim that if you don't take the sure thing, you get nothing.

The crowd outside the bar was already thinning and I didn't fancy my odds. As my cougar and I stood outside her place ready to enter she wanted to lay some ground rules. I had to be really quiet and be out of there in a few hours. Because of her kids.

Fuck that shit. Coming to my senses I thought this is going to be one sorry-ass notch. Without saying a word I left her on the doorstep and stumbled back to my friend's house. Sleeping in late looked more appealing than a mediocre bang.

SATURDAY

Saturday night I played it smart. Sipped whisky at home till 2am before heading out. Arrived downtown feeling razor-sharp just when everyone else in town was starting to get sloppy. Hit Faktory, then Boston again. Ran into a 25 year old fashion/hipster looking brunette in skinny jeans I'd spoken to Thursday night. She was lukewarm towards me then and wasn't much better now. Didn't have much to say to eachother so I bounced to the bar.

Spoke to a couple of girls but knew it would be futile to try to pull them this long before closing. Reykjavik girls want to squeeze the most out of their weekends.

Just after 4am I was at Kaffibarinn again. Paced myself and the approaches passed by in a blur. It was a real grind. Elsewhere even failed approaches can lead to good banter and it's easy to have fun with the whole thing. Iceland much less so.

Danced with a late-teens redhead who seemed into it. Asked her what she was doing later followed by "why don't we get some drinks to-go and go listen to this new mixtape I've got?" She lived with her parents and was looking for an afterparty host. I couldn't host. Fuck.

I better find an afterparty immediately and bounce her there.

Lesson three: I wasn't in a position to host an 'afterparty' (meaning just me and one guest, heh) so I started to screen for logistics very early on. Many girls live with their parents even after they start university, especially now that the economy is sluggish. Keep in mind that a lot of Icelandic girls don't graduate high school until they're 19-20 years old. Those girls almost always live with parents.

I lost the redhead and the bar was closing. FUCK. It's an anxious scene watching the crowd disappear, keeping at it while getting rejected time after time. Ran some hail mary game keeping in mind that if ever a girl is horny, Saturday morning at 5am is when she will find you. Kept looking around for the redhead with no luck.

Lesson four: Some previous rapport and comfort helps when it's closing time outside the bar. Earlier approaches that seem to have failed are not necessarily wasted since it's a small place and chances are you'll run into the same girls again in better circumstances.

Out of nowhere came the 25 year old brunette from earlier. She was smiling and asked me where I was going and what I was doing. Basically an invitation to bang. I asked her where she lived. When she responded I told her "funny, that's exactly where I'm going..." took her hand and walked off.

Bang.

MY ICELAND REPORT - APRIL 2011.

Well just returned from a 3 day trip to Iceland, Reykjavik. I must start of by saying thanks to Fman who put me in touch with a stand-up local, who stirred me in the right direction.

Accomodations - I made the right decision and rented an apartment right in the 101 district, which is the club area. On my flights there were tons of old people and a few meatheads who had that "what happens in vegas stays in vegas" attitude. Luckily they were staying at the Hilton, I ran into a few of them at the Hostel but thankfully not at night.
Speaking of the Hostel, there is an interesting one called the Backpackers Hostel in the same area. Good location, good price I would assume and alot of foreign travellers if you are into that. I met another Canadian girl there and a very cute local girl.

Weather - was very interesting. Cold but not freezing, Toronto actually feels colder right now. On the friday I experienced rain, snow, sleet, sunshine and grey skies all in one day. I wore a vest and a warm sweater which did me ok.

Food - I went to the the fishandchip.is restaurant which was advertised in the tourist books. The fish was nice but not mind blowing, the price $21 for a small portion and a beer. Other than that I bought a few groceries and made salmon sandwiches to get me by. Oh yeah, i ate a few of there hot dogs which were yummy.

Daygame - Icelanders are very reserved and seem a little bit shy in the daytime. My contact told me approaching in the day is not advised and he always meets girls at night. I ventured to the Kringlan shopping mall and did not experience any real opportunities. I also went over to the gym but much less the same vibe, well maybe 2 "thick" girls scoping me.

Night Time - Well as you have probably heard these people party late. Thursday they come out around midnite b/c bars tend to close shortly after 1.00. Friday is considered a quiet night, but it was very lively in my opinion. Saturday is when all hell breaks loose and things get going to the wee hours in the morning. I walked by the bar B5 that Roosh had featured in one article with alot of girls to men ratio, however I did not go inside b/c my contact sd it was not a good club to pull.
On the Saturday I actually walked by there at night and asked a girl for a smoke, she snubbed me even though I offered her money.

Women - well I have no complaints about the women at all. They are damn sexy, have a great sense of style (all wear heels and skirts at night), there are a fair share that seem to be thick bordering on fat. But there thickness looks better than N-American thickness and yes some are fat. If you are into skinny women then this place is not for you, yes they have slim women but ALL the women have a strong fuck me hard look about them.

Verdict - Due to my contact I was able to get my flag. I had no luck on the internet before I went, but girls seem to dig me once I was there. I am a black Canadian so my experience would be slight different, there is a big market for black guys up there. I went to an African party, which was a easy place to meet local talent. I think I counted about 10 african men in the place and 3 african women. Every girl wanted to know what brought me to Iceland (translation - am I there to stay or play soccer/basketball in there leagues). I did not see a stag party and the time of year i went was perfect.

I would agree with Roosh that you would need two weekends to really get a taste of the place. But overall the women are friendly if they like you. They do not seem to respect there men too much, I found it weird that I did not see many couples. Girls go out in groups ranging from 2 to 6 people.

Great stuff. I am booked for Iceland at the end of September for 5 days. Took everyones advice including Band Iceland and it is bearing fruit already. The local hookup site einkamal.is is a gem of a site. Been on there 3 days (288 views) and already have a threesome scheduled (although by her stats she is a fatty), a couple gave me their number with instructions to text them when I arrive, a local gal (age 43) asked if she could show me around town, and I have a few others emailing me links for places to stay, things to do etc.

The key is I posted pictures of me on the website (Black 6'2 210) and used Roosh words verbatim from Band Iceland in my profile post. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that shit worked. The way I figure it if only one of the pre-arrival connections pan out...an Iceland flag will be mine for the taking.

Bonus flag alert! I will be in Iceland during the film festival so a chance for additional flags abound. At least there will be other women to talk to that don't mind opening up since Icelandic women are difficult to open up. (Confirmed by a einkama.is contact excerpt from response "the night life here is crazy as in Icelanders drink a lot on weekends and go down town Reykjavik after midnight and party until 6-7 in the morning. Icelanders are not unfriendly or at least I wouldn't want to say that but we are not the most open and easyest to get to know."

ALthough the price of the place Roosh stayed at has gone up ($185 per night) there are alot of cheaper places that can be found on airbnb.com which are in the 101 area.

Rudebwoy I would appreciate it if you could get me in contact with the stand up local Fman got you in touch with.

^^^ good shit. This is what proper research/pipelining looks like.

Airbnb is going to change the game for guys like us. Even with it's 10% fee, it can still end up being cheaper while giving us great logistics.

You can also negotiate a better rate with the host if you're going to stay longer and offer to pay cash.

Yeah I found that out the long round about way....thanks Caligula...I also found out that Icelanders prefer the pound over the euro if paying cash...although I think that has more to do with the exchange rate.

Pipelining works for more than just prepping the field for a flag...You can get insider info on places to stay and what's cool and what's not. Here's what a connect sent me....

Thanks for the props Roosh.

This may be preaching to the choir...but I have found out a few things about pipelining the hard way...well I should have taken the advice that was in Bang Iceland and waited to pipeline a week or so out instead of 5 weeks out like I did. This is why:

1. If you correspond with for too long you start to forget what your goal is....The goal is banging plain and simple....once the goal is no longer the driving force of your actions...you play right into the girls hand. Remember some women (alot) in Iceland are trying to change longstanding customs and want to date like normal people. Don't make it easy for them.

2. They will eventually ask you to friend them on Facebook........It has happened twice to me. They are very subtle about it.

3. You start to seem them as an individual who has family, friends, hopes dreams, and desires.....thus it becomes harder psychologically to do what you are about to do...Bang them and move on!

4. You start to open up too much about yourself.....nothing good can come of this...and there goes the mystery...

5. They want you to spend all your time with them when you visit and know who else you are seeing from the website. Check this out "he he... not that I am curious of all that you are doing and with whoom. Just have to pick a day and evening for babysitter...." I almost fell for it fortunately my computer ran out of power and I had time to regroup.

6. You loose your edge because they will eventually forget to email you back...hell its a big time zone difference and they are out partying ....and you will feel upset or sad that they haven't gotten back to you in a timeframe that you think is suitable..if you get to this point...do yourself a favor and hit "Block" and read Bang Iceland again to regain your focus and edge.

That's what I am doing now reading Bang Iceland and then onto Bang.

Its a war out there and only the strong bang!

Peace out!

I've done Rekykavik and I'm thinking of going back. Does einkama.is have an English option? The Icelandic girls on OKC are pretty horrible, btw.
