I don't think WEDO needs to answer to anyone, of all the people I've met from this forum/in real life I'd say he's number 1 in terms of having his shit together. This is coming from someone who has partied with billionaire HF managers. He's older than I but at least he is a great role model for a long-term plan. It's actually awesome we see eye to eye in terms of the posts I just threw up, lets me know I've got my head on straight.
West,
I always get the feeling you think I am "challenging" you on these threads. I don't want to come off like that. I am asking these questions because you and WEDO are some of my favorite posters, and I learn from you guys. I respect your guys opinions. Just wanted to make that clear.

In terms of the $4K or $15K comment you can easily figure out the implied message I am sending by making that statement. Lets put another spin on it.
Give me $100-200 a night to go out and night game or $1,000 a night. In the USA, I will have no change in pull. Same idea in Colombia, you give someone $4K spend that's like $200-300 a weekend for partying and social circle etc. after that it's massive diminishing returns.
Again, I just don't see this.
$1000 a night in the USA buys you time and access.
At a G a night, you can bounce venues and skip lines like no tomorrow. You can hit spots that have the best chances and not worry about covers or transpo. You can grease.
Hell, $1000 a night you can buy a $400 ticket to a charity event filled to the brim with models and high end broads.
You don't think your chances go up in a place like that?

The end of the message is this. Top end Quality for average guys is better abroad. At $X your quality peaks in the USA, that same peak is higher abroad. People of average means or whatever we want to call it "average guy" will pull better abroad. If you don't congrats you're in the 1%...
That should break it down enough.
Ok. Maybe I have a different perspective.
My point is that, if I have 20k per month in Colombia, and 20k per month in USA, I am doing better in USA.
The extra money doesn't help me in Colombia. Its not like I am going to flash a huge Bankroll in a bar in Colombia. Not like you would somewhere like Las Vegas or The Turf Club of The Del Mar Racetrack.
Hell, I had equal funds in Montreal this summer, and equal funds in Miami Beach, and I did better in Miami Beach. At least volume wise. Looks wise about equal.
So, I see you point if a guy is getting blanked in USA, sure, he might do better in another country.
But in America, you have so many advantages; connections, language, people know you are The G by the way you handle yourself, dress, talk etc.
I don't see how you can have those same advantages in another country when you arrive there cold.
Hell, it takes a while to figure out what the best spots are on a given night. Not to mention some countries, ie Colombia are pretty damn slow during the week. Bogota and Cartagena were. I heard Cali and Medellin are slow as f*ck during the week.
Who knows, maybe it's just my Game style that doesn't translate as well.
But that is what I am trying to figure out.
How are you guys doing so much better with less money in other countries?
I will say it again. I want to be sold on this. Hell, I would rather be paying $2 for a cocktail than $20 a cocktail when it's all said and done.
