Is it possible to get a job in Germany like London..? without being a proper German speaker?

[Sourcecode]

Im gonna head to Berlin in a couple days.
If i have any luck ill post some info..If I don't..you wont hear shit from me.

bumping the thread. Anyone have any last second advice

[Taciturning]

No advice, but good hunting. Drop some knowledge when you get back, I'll be there next year.

Friedrichshain, or the posh clubs in West berlin seemed to be the best places. You woulda thought Mitte woulda been great (meaning "Middle") but its really girl-less I found, the action is in the east or west. Makes sense now I realise it was actually split into two cities up until 20 years ago... hah *slaps forehead*

[Laner]

I am in Prinzlaur Berg in Berlin for the long weekend.

Suggestions?

Actually pretty much all of the ' in ' bars with the hot hipster chicks are in Mitte.

I didnt have any luck in berlin at all
I went to a couple bars in friedrichain and kreuzberg.
The place was way to hipster for me..and I actually got german stares. The ?what are you doing here? looks. but never in a threatening way.

It also didn't seen like any people in the hipster bars were trying to go home with each other either.
People either came in groups or came in pairs.
If I wasnt in the group..no one would talk to me..and even If i was in the group..I was often the obvious outsider even though I speak german.

Alot of girls dressed so odd and grungy that I wasnt attracted to them to begin with.
If you dont look clean clothes wise..I cant expect the pussy to be fresh either
__________________________________________

I skipped out on Berghain because alot of stuff about it being gay (Im not homophobic, I just wasnt adventurous one my first nights) and went to a club called
Matrix http://www.matrix-berlin.de/
Decent place. but a sausage fest. I didnt hit the dance floor for a long time cause I would have just been grinding on other guys -_-
Bunch of rooms with different style music in each one.
It was a "spring break" party so they had chicks dancing in bikinis,wet t shirts and a booty shake contest (staff..not girls in the crowd)



Picture album from the night i was there You dont need blue an pink dots to see it was all dudes

. Again..I still didnt get any girls home. alot of girls came to dance..but not enough were DTF

This is the first time i actually had girls nudge me out the way..
Not even trying to dance with them..just try to push me out of their area.
I stood my ground each time and pretended I didnt feel them trying to push me away...but it was noticeable.
This is the first place where I had girls give ma a look of disgust in a way that I was almost uncomfortable. Which to me says a alot considering I lived in both the deep south..and poor upstate new york where people can be openly racist and uncomfortable


On the other hand the girls that "allowed" me to dance in their area.. wouldnt make any attempts to come towards me or reciprocate my attempts. It was more liked..the agreed to dance..but as soon as a friend moved..they all moved.
I watched multiple girls do this to multiple guys while sitting at the bar,before I even decided to try dance floor game.

Same with talking/bar game
Girls were either playing hard to get..or friendly because they were drunk.

The only girl I made out with this German girl that had obviously spent alot of time in spain(by the way she dance)
But she was way to ecstatic. Even then..It was barely a kiss. Im sure she was on coke by her pupils.

It seems..this side of town..All the other black guys i saw looks really sketchy./
You can pretty much buy weed off any black guy that stands around for more than 5 minutes..or is in a park.
I won't say for a fact that this gives black guys in the area a bad reputation( I could have been in the complete wrong area)...
but gotten laid in just about every german city that i went to for more than sightseeing, but I struck out after 4 days here


But If you're White-UK it seemed like a decent number of british accented guys were picking off the white german girls in the -Matrix club
_________________________________________________

I found that whole area nice..but everyone puts on such a big facade of trying to be different and individual that they become just as posh as the high class they hate.
Alot of them have the money to be better...but purposely wanna seem poor/down to earth or whatever you wanna call it.
And the shops cater to them.
Whole in the wall shops..but the owner parks down the street with his BMW

Even my friend who I stayed with hates the area and see's past the fakeness..he moved there..son of a doctor..wanting to be hipster..and eventually got fed up with everyones shit.

All I gotta do now is get him into the game..

Very good places in Berlin are the metro and Alexanderplatz.In metro you cannot fail.Thousands of girls step over every 10 minutes in central metro stations and some of them are stunners.Berlin Hauptbahnhof is not so good due to three floors and lots of cameras.Another good place is Alexanderplatz.Near Fernsehturm there are quite lot of benches and parks where many women(hopefully Russian) sit or stroll.There are the usual German freaks as well(I saw women with shaved hair and collars driven by a leash or men with gothic looks and chains hanging gays kissing each other and blending moustaches and lesbians kissing in three way kiss Berlin has every perversion imaginable).However as Balkan power one can do good there although he will be repelled by the strong Prussian fighter culture.This is no soft Empire Vienna the city friendly to the Balkan.Berlin is more touch for toucher people.

[Laner]

Sounds like you had a similar weekend to me.

I didnt hit any clubs though. Where I stayed (Hotel Meyers in Pranzlauer Berg) there are more bars than people it seems. That kept me occupied.

As a city, Berlin is one of the best. Its huge, great layout, German infrastructure, cheap, good food, melting pot of cultures, etc. But for getting laid by pretty girls it is terrible.

Scotch & Sofa, 8mm were the locals for me. It was actually incredible how few attractive women are in Berlin compared to eligible men. When a sexy woman would come in, they were there to meet a group of friends. There is no sense for women to go out for a "girls night" hunt there.

But in fairness, the people in Berlin are very cool and friendly people. I had some good laughs and met some good looking tourists in Alexanderplatz.

Also Berlin has to be one of the most creative and artistic cites in the world. Everywhere I went in Berlin there were fascinating installations and shops. Truly great stuff.

[Sourcecode]

Yea, I havnt been to Paris since I was a child.
But everyone I know says Paris is how I saw Berlin.

In phrase: The city is nice,creative...but thats about all


Even with that being said.
I'll go back again one day. I could have had bad luck, simply because it was easter weekend.
Place deserves a second chance

Absolutely. This was my third time there (but I havent been for 10 years).

I will go back any time.

Preferably with a girl though.

What is it with your admiration of the "strong Germanics" ?

I think that most German men are whimps and pussies...if anything, they may appear strong physically but that's about it.

For those who are fluent in German, here is an article about the problem of modern German "men". The author isn't some self obsessed feminist bitch btw. and I agree with her opinion on the lack of masculinity among the male German population. It's about how most men have turned into the soft melancholic, introspective, understanding good guy who couldn't go up to a woman in a club and talk to her if his life depended on it.
And even those who "appear" more alpha are not alphas because they too desperately hope that the women will make the first step and approach them.

There is much more masculinity and alphaness in American than in German culture nowadays.

Thats why I just graze over Kamakis post...sometimes he knows what he's saying..sometime I think he just uses a random sentence generator to write hit post.

He drops a ton of interesting info, he just doesn't seem to have any use for punctuation, paragraphing, or capitalization.

Anyway, thanks for posting on Berlin dude, sorry you didnt have any luck. Berlin is indeed hipster as shit. I recall there being a ton of Polish floozies running around there too. Didn't run into any of them? Poznan is in easy striking distance, I intend to spend a good amount of time there as well.

[Greek kamaki]

The Germans are touch one should not judge by the relative politeness they have to exhibit.In Berlin I witnessed pistol shooting just 10 meters away the Prussians have a temper.It is a different city than the other German cities but then every German city is different in a degree.

[Screwston]

Are German hipsters obsessed with gay colorful tattoos like American ones?

[Laner]

Guys keep in mind the shear size of Berlin. In no way can it be "generalized"

Calling Germans pussies? Not cool. This whole "not an alpha coz he dont approach" is bullshit. Germany has its shit together, more so than America I might say. And the reason for this is the German men.

The Germans do things which other folks do not dare to do this is what I mean by strong Germanics.Guys with moustaches kissing openly in public girls in a three way kiss in central square and middle aged guys with chains hanging or gothic girls walking around in collars is not sth you usually see in other countries.Every minority expresses itself dynamically from underground to high.
For example the German neonazi is there with head shaved and he carries a Doberman next to him.You pass in front of him as he sits down drinking beer and he looks at the Kanake.If he lets the dog free this is the question.It is exactly the fear the German wants to inspire.What will happen if he lets the doberman free to storm with its teeth.Or when you go down the stairs and the German comes behind with his Wehrmacht boots making a heavy rhythmic noise.Always the question is what if,this threat of imminent violence is what keeps spirits in Germany high.
I really missed the pushing and the loud voices rampant in Germany.They will never respect the southern countries they regard them as fags.In fact they respect only the English I have no idea why.

The power display of Germans and the shitty place of the ghettosized minorities in their societies cockblocks efforts of foreign men unless you happen to come from the right country and circle and get soon acquainted with the right persons.Or simply if you go polish or Russian(huge Russian and polish minorities in Germany and German guys do not want at all to get involved with them).

Im from Berlin, born and raised. First off, its really interesting to hear how forgeiners/tourists percieve your home city, something I just noticed.

Anyways, when you are visiting Berlin, you should know what to expect. To summed it up, the trendy nightlife consists manly of hipster guys and girls doing drugs to techno music. If thats what you like, Berlin is THE shit. I guarantee you that Ill find no real city and I repeat NO real city on the planet, where you can party harder and longer. There is no last call, you can party virtually entire drug-fused weekends staying at one club the wohle time. Again, if thats what you are into.
Personally, I enjoy some drug-wipeouts once a while, but the whole hipster scene fucks me up. A bunch of dickheads, but many cute chicks from all around the world. Keep in mind that the trendy spots sometimes have a strong face control and hence the beast factor is rather low in some selected venues.

@Sourcecode: Sorry you didnt get any. As for the guys-staring, did you percieve it as racially motivated? You are spot on on african dudes selling drugs in the streets in some areas. Check out Hasenheide or Görli next time. They are literally sitting in the bushes pushin weed...
Whats your style? More hipster-like, elegant or street? Depending on this you should have choosen the spots. I know of some spots, where black dudes crush it. Basically, there are clubs where girls go to hook up whit black guys. No shit.
Anyways, since the whole hipster shit is more of a white guy thing and very popular amog party crowd here at the moment, Berlin might not be the easiest place of you to score.

The behavior of women is hardly scrutinized in this article (as is usual these days). They say that men have changed since they no longer know when to make a move. However, there was a time when a man was expected to wait. It's the lack of rules that is the problem not the men. In addition with the new crop of ball busting bitches, I can understand that many men are unable to go up to girls in bars. Again, not necessarily his problem.

Again..I think otherwise.
Its not cause germans are bad ass or anything.
Its because the society is much more tolerant and lenient towards stuff like this.
Its ok to be a deadbeat.
Its ok if your life aspiration is to be a gardener

I've seen heavily dressed got couples pushing a stroller or followed by a 3 year old in a pink dress. They probably trade their clothes in for suits and go to work in the day time.
Yes..germans express their styles..but its not out of some stereotype on being strong germanics.
If anything its more that they have been told to be more polite and less confrontational.

In america we push kids through one school system trying to get them to colleges and trade schools arent big or looked as as lowly.(An now we have a lack of skilled trade workers in the country)

Germany has multiple systems that divide kids at a young age...if you arent cut for college from like..grade 3 or something.
You are put in a different system to go into trades or lower level jobs.
You cant/have to go through lots of steps to even get into a university if you didnt graduate from the higher school system (gymnasium)

Germany barely has neonazis..all those stories are hyped up because theirs nothing else to talk about.
I've spent time all around germany and alot in east german cities.
I would say more skinhead are the anti racist ones.. I've even seen mixed race people in the groups(rarely just for the fact that there arent many of the)
http://www.dw.de/dw/article/0,1564,1362702,00.html
Hell I even stopped to have a beer with a group of skinhead a couple months ago.

As a matter of fact..May Day will happen soon.
Hamburg and Berlin are known for having left wing skinheads and whatnot throw a riot..its out of racism..its towards the police and the military.
If the Germans wanted to be "strong..they could easily smash the shit out of this riot before it started.
Why even let leftist,anti capitalist and communist gather like that

Don't be sorry. Its just not my style.
None of the stares were racially motivated. It was more the confused and uncomfortable look as in. "we have nothing against you,but this obviously isnt your venue man"

Quote:

I dress more high class hip hopish i guess. button down shirts(which sometimes can look hipster) but sometimes I also suit up.
I don't think I look at all like the pushers who are normally big hoodies/jackets ect.
But again it was cold last weekend..hell it even snowed a little. So I did have a winter coat on for some time.

[Greek kamaki]

The Germans express themselves.If one is neonazi he will show it.If he is radical communist he will also show it.They are fearless and generally take edge positions.They also like to ground their arguments in detail and defend their views passionately.Anyway in Germany you have to take everything seriously.There is no time for bullshiting as we often do here.(the famous chavale spending the time bullshiting).Germans are strained not relaxed or lazy people.
