I've lived in Scotland for 27 years, though I'd bet only my last 10 would be of interest since I'm 27 years old. It's not a naivete thing either, I have travelled as often as possible, collected flags in different countries, although I've never worked in any other country.
For the last 3 years scotland has been a paradise for me, there is always so much going on. Glasgow is a UNESCO city of music so there are dozens of gigs, club nights, parties, social dances, jazz nights, cocktail tasting events, and all kinds of insanity every day of the week. Those of you who have been in Rejavik Iceland on a staurday night and thought it ressembled a mosh pit should see how crazy Glasgow is on any given day if you hit the right club. Hell, ask Courage Reborn what Bamboo was like on a random Sunday. I've built a solid relationship with many bar staff, pr guys, bouncers, and DJs over the last decade(admitedly mostly at a rock club which I try to avoid now). Small things like guest list and queue skip have a dramatic impact on your happiness when you head to a club. I have one solid wing, and he has 3 or 4 friends who are good men (though not game guys). Glasgow nightlife surpasses anything I've seen anywhere in the world, you can, and a lot of people do, head out 7 nights a week collecting upwards of thirty numbers(and pulls, if you bother to count kisses) and getting a snl or two. I actually think I could do better but with life being so good and me having a stable harem you don't have the same impetus to close girls.
I am a third year at university and have 7 hours of class a week, although I do a lot of revision in my own time. Studying and learning is a joy though, as everyone on this board should know, personal improvement is the best way you can spend your time. Outside of class I split my time between 3 university societies, all of which are packed with young, and usually drunken, girls. We do weekly trips to various clubs or pubs and hooking up seems to be the norm. Recently I've noticed a couple of the thirstier looking dudes white knighting or bitching guys out for 'taking advtange' but thus far they've steered well clear of me, though it might be cause I have some 8 years of age on them. Just as an aside my wing buddy absolutely fell overhimself laughing when I fucked an 18 year old who then revealed she had a boyfriend, she cancelled a date with me saying 'sorry, I have a boyfriend, I don't want to lead you on and make you think things are going to go any further than they already have', I wish every flake was that funny. Saw her recently at a society event and she was very flirtatious, basically playing footsie with me infront of the others. I think the society angle might have dminishing returns though, eventually the other girls will know you are working your way through them. On the other hand showing up to a club with 20 young university girls doesn't half make you social proof.
People in Glasgow are incredibly friendly and open. If you roll solo to a pub or a club(harder to do in the student clubs, bouncers get twitchy if they don't know you) it's actually difficult to stay by yourself. If you look around the bar people will say hey, or ask why you're alone. Suffice to say opening scottish girls verbally is a joy, dance game can be trickier here. Scottish folk love a chat, love craic, any kind of sarcastic humor will go over great(At worst you'll get a girl calling you cheeky). This isn't to say blow outs and harsh rejections don't happen here, just that there is a culture of chat and craic. It's similar to Ireland where you'll get folk saying randomly cheeky but humorous things to strangers. It's hard to give an example since it's actually completely random chat... I recently witnessed a bus driver asking two women if they were sisters, when the girls said yes he said 'Then where the hell is cinderella?' much to the guffawing of the passengers. There was also a time me and my friends decided to 'suit up' for a guys brithday. As always happens whenever you get about 5 or 6 men doing something it creates a wave effect and suddenly everyone joins in. We headed out to the cathouse(a rock club) with roughly 30 guys in suits, now the catty holds roughly 800 people so while we didn't dominate the club we were incredibly noticible as we were dancing and chatting in this massive group of well dressed men. At one point in the night as I went to the bathroom I walked in to see 3 of my friends at the urinal, 3 chatting at the sink(weird to you american but scots really like to chat) and 2 in the queue for the john. With 9 guys in suits all in the bathroom I turned to the door as some random (unsuited) punter walks in and say 'Sorry mate, you can't use this bathroom, you're too under dressed.' The guy apologised and starts walking out as everyone in the toilet starts cracking up. This culture and acceptance of strangers making jokes or chatting to each other translates very well into game. Everything that Roosh put in bang, which I'll omit here but buy the damn book page 25 to 28, about club and bar specific openers works incredibly well here. Hell you can even use pua type bullshit to decent effect if you have a grin that makes it obvious you're fucking with them. Escalation and everything else the same as elsewhere but for verbal opening Scotland is brilliant.
When it comes to talent Scotland is a mixed bag. The top end is the prettiest I've seen, red hair, blues eyes, and pale skin is a lethal combination on a girl. The average is lower than I've seen elsewhere but unless you're hitting on every girl randomly you won't get stuck with the fat busted chicks. Venue selection in important with the larger clubs having no face control the average and indeed gender balance can get bad. The hip hop clubs have the best looking girls(Karbon, Cushion, and Bamboo) but are way more dependent on your looks, if you are 6ft tall and dress well, or if you are black, these are the clubs for you. Rugby players from the universities only go to these clubs because having a powerful build guarantees a lot of top end female attention here, cave man game plays well, this is Fisto's place... Not to say smaller white dudes should avoid these spots, but you should maybe hug the bar and use your chat. Second in quality is the student clubs, Viper, Abc(specifically on thursdays and fridays), and any union. Third are the massive clubs and specialty clubs, the Garage, cathouse, buff club, black friars club, and subclub, these clubs always have top end girls but in lower numbers and with a trending to fat chick average, however they are also the easiest to get laid in. Finally if you are dying to get your flag hit the lower tier places, Jumping jacks, the savoy centre(aka the swav sav), 30+(for you older players), Replay, Tunnel, and way too many more to list. If you are looking to fuck neds(chavs) then this is your spot, low class girls, busted violent thuggish men. Bring a friend and don't get too drunk and you'll out swoop every dude in the place.
For finance I work two days a week, for 18 hours total, which scores me £650 a month(roughly 1k dollars). In addition I recieve £250 bursary(free money I don't pay back) for studying and recieve a student loan of £8k a year(money I pay back if my wage is high enough). This brings in my Income to roughly £22k a year(35k dollars), with some of it being a loan I don't need to pay back until I earn 18K a year in pure wage. I got out a minimum of 3 times a week (sunday, monday, and thursday) and arrange dates with my harem on another three nights while keeping one day to myself to take care of business. Cost of living varies greatly, renting a flat to yourself in a perfect local might set you back £500 a month. If you are willing to share a flat with 1 or 2 other people and just want great, but not perfect, logistics you have get by on 200 to 350 a month rent. Just as an example http://www.citylets.co.uk/property-rent/...-g4-19963/ has great logistics and will cost 450 to have a flat to yourself, http://www.citylets.co.uk/property-rent/...g4-135329/ also has great logistics and will cost £275 to share a flat with someone. When I say great logstics I mean 10 mins walk to the west end(students and young uns) and a 10 minute walk to the city centre(every kind of girl). Food in cheap if you cook yourself, chicken is £10 for a kilo(2.2lb's), veg is roughly £1 for 500 grams, coffee is a quid or so. My food bill comes in under £25 a month if I cook all my own meals, though I basically eat grilled meat and veg, sometimes with pasta. I worked out my expenses once if anyone is really interested I could make up a spreadsheet. Alcohol (yay) varies from spot to spot, top end cocktails can cost £7(boteco de brazil thurs-sat, mini bar, butterfly andf pig, etc), bottom end cocktails can cost 99p(mosula, garage, Bamboo). Depends on the place you hit, for pubs you're looking at £2-3 a pint/whisky and £1.5-2.50 for a spirit and mix. If you hit the cheapest spots in glasgow: Driftwood, unions, garage, and etc, you are looking at 90p a vodka/rum/schnapps and mix, with 1.25 whiskys. Black hack Taxi's(the ones you can wave down in the street) will start at 2.60 off peak, 4.50 at peak. At top peak it's 40p every 20 second you're in the taxi, at bottom it;s 10p every 20 seconds. From one side of the city to the other it'll cost roughly 12 to 14 pounds. Private higher taxis for the same journey will be roughly 8 to 10. If you are in the right location you'll never need a taxi. Clothes are cheap, even nice designer gear can be got at discount prices if you hit the right places (tk max, designer warehouses and depots.). If you want a fitted suit from somewhere really nice you can blow a few grand if that's what you're in to. A starbucks short cappucino costs £1.60, if you are dinking anything else from starbucks you probably don't care about expense or value anyway. Fine dining ranges from your usual take aways, mcdonalds, kebab shops, chip shops for roughly £2 to £4 for the least healthy and most delcious food you'll try in your life, the more ambitously self-destructive among you should hunt down the deep fried mars bar and chips. Low end and studenty restaurants will cost £6 to £10 a meal with a drink, buffets will range from £6 to £12 without a drink, top end restaurants(cornershop bar and grill, butchershop grill, etc) will put you back £40 for a top end meal or £20 for their cheaper options with a drink. Gyms are £16 to £32pm membership, pure gyms in town are 24hours which is cool. Student gyms are £50 to £60 for the year. Those of you training mma can do gracie jiujtsu for £7 a class or £55 a month with there being roughly 16 classes a week, or join the Griphouse for £50 a month/£5 a class which has boxing, kick boxing, wrestling, jiujistu, mma, and all other kinds of crap. Plenty of every kind of sport and hobbies going as well.
For hobbies I socially dance every monday, wednesday, and occasional other days for events and gigs. I hit the gym every monday, wednesday, and friday. Both of these can be passive sources of girls, usually I insta-date beginners or tourists, or invite girls I've met in the club to a beginners class followed by drinks. I have been dancing ever since I read the dance game thread here http://www.rooshvforum.network/thread-5002.html and as with all things I work incredibly hard at it, vastly improving in the small amount of time I've be practicing. So much so I've been asked to teach a couple of classes and do a few months of paid performances at smaller venues. The value that being a top dancer gives you is incredible, it's the closest to fame game I've experienced.
I always run a firm harem of girls who pass the binary and provide value. One of the things I disagree with on the forum is that for harem you should aim for top end girls(as in top end looks), I think for ONS you should aim top end girls, but for harem your goal should be top end value. Girls should be buying you food, drinks, rubbing you back, cutting you hair, and a providing a myriad of different servces that you deem valuable. Right now I have three girlfriends, one of which knows about my lifestyle, two of which don't. Glasgow is a bit of a village so getting caught out is a harzard, but since I don't really care so I get away with crazy crap. This week I have hooked up Sunday(notch), Monday(harem), Tuesday(harem), and turned a girl down Wednesday so I could go to the casino with a balla friend, I've gymed it Monday and Wednesday, done social dancing Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, went for a pint in the student union with a society tuesday, went ice skating with social dance girls today, and I'm now about to start getting ready to hit ABC with the balla from yesterday and my trusty wing. I'd say it's been a good week, but every week is awesome here.
This has started to turn into a data sheet where really I just wanted to expand on why I love where I live. A lot of what I've written here is exclusive to my circumstances, age, being at university, having a decent part time job. However every man here is capable of building his own version of what I do, passive streams of girls from sport, hobbies, study groups(join a damn language group or group hobby that includes girls), direct streams of random ons from hitting pubs and clubs with a solid group of wing's while having an 'in' with staff at your venues, and constant regular harem members who provide vaule to your life. I would of course suggest Glasgow as being the best place on earth to do so, but unless you have the same thirst and tastes as I do you may prefer elsewhere. To get this post back on track I am incredibly happy and sometimes outright elated with where I live.
