The only downside is that you (usually) stay couple of nights with the host, so if you wanna stay longer you might need to find another host.

I used to be pretty active in couchsurfing. They say it's not about dating but that's just to discourage the loosers from certain countries who go on the try and find a wife. Very very easy to pick up on there, search for cute girls in the city you are going to and organise to meet up for drinks. Hooked up with about 10 girls around Europe/States doing this.
I also used to host a lot at home in Australia. As i was one of the first to come up in search results i would get dozens of requests a week. Would just pick the cute girls and have them come and stay. This was also a gold mine without putting too much effort in.
Haven't hosted anyone for a year due to living arrangements and work committments. Looking forward to doing some couchsurfing around Sth America later this year. You really do get a totally different view of the city when staying with a local compared to at the hostel with every other aussie/canadian/american!
Best story - Meet up to sex with a 10/10 Estonian stunner in about an hour (my friends told me it was going to be an old russian dude that would rob me, seemed to good to be true but was actually for real)
Horror story - Stuck on a houseboat drunk and stoned with an old bloke who turned out to be a raging homo
(P.S. I'm new here - Hi)

Bretto: In every large south american city i browsed through, there are usually less than 10 hot girls to message for a drink. In Medellin I only found 4(!), even though the city of course has a lot of great looking girls. CS hasn't caught on in S. American as much as europe and the states I guess.

So... couchsurfing is also for making dates with people, and not just crashing?

CS seems like a complete waste of time for the majorly touristy places in W. Europe like Dublin and Paris (for a guy). Every couch host was a dude who straight out ignored my request to stay. Not that I blame them.

What about the possibility of couch surfing amongst the RooshV crew? No homo.

I doubt many guys here have their own place in an exotic location.
I live with two people.

So I can understand how this is a whole "community" and people get cred through positive reviews and whatnot, but anyone here ever worry about getting their money/valuables jacked by a shaddy host or their friends? I myself, usually travel with cash and don't like using credit/debit cards, so I am always a little paranoid when it comes to getting $$ stolen.

Do you have to get verified to host or be hosted?

Couch surfing can be very hit or miss.... I always use it as one of my pipeline methods.. I have never hosted or stayed as a CS at someone else's...
Have pretty much refined a standard msg that I send out.. Drop a few hooks in the message that dhv without making it obvious.... When I know I'm travelling somewhere I don't spend a lot of time on it but copy paste to any cute looking girls...
Some cities more sucessful than others and actually have more potential meet ups than I actually have time for..
As for meet ups it's very hit or miss though stopped going to any now..In top tier cities like NYC the meetings have been ok but second tier cities it's all people who are awkwardly inept at being social and no hot chicks turn up....
References are key and I don't know how the fuck but I seem to have gotten really good references mainly from cute women that have helped a lot...
One thing to note is is the references I have are from girls who I didn't bang... im still in touch and friends with 90% of the girls I banged as its always good to have back ups if I travel back to that country .
The downside is it makes me lazy and more often than I should do, I have gone for the easy 6/7 rather than going out and tying to bang a 9 from night game...
Forgot to add - even if you message some of the more average girls they will have friends and will invite you out to party with themes a group which gives you an instant social circle and introductions to other chicks...
