The title says it all.
I am not sure any of you heard about Beer-Sheva. You have probably heard about Tel-Aviv and Jerusalem. yes, you can definitely have great time hunting in Tel-Aviv for chicks who like foreigners and most chances you will get your share. However, i do strongly recommend the next time you visit Israel to consider spending time in Beer-Sheva.
Let me elaborate.
We Israelies young men and women usually finish the army at the age of 20/21. After saving money and going on a trip abroad, we come back home and start thinking seriously about our next steps. the middle class usually will decide to go to University, and here is the turning point at my story.
We have a choice between haifa, jerusalem, tel aviv and Beer Sheva. all of these have universities. and guess what? during the last years Ben Gurion University Of The Negev has proclaimed itself as the most sociable partiable uni of all. this is the reason a lot of Israelies choose to study there. the students created a special unique environment by opening clubs/pubs near the vacinity of the university. there isn't a day in the weekend that doesn't have a party of some sort. sunday, monday and tuesday have salsa nights. wednesday we go to "Barraka" which is a big club where all the students go to. and basically all the other dance bars/pubs are opened and visited by students sunday-saturday. a few names are: Einstein, the coca bar, black and white, the rosa.
house parties are numerous and its just about knowing a person who can get you to the RSPVs by facebook.
There are some exchange students here obviously but believe me that Israel chicks rarely see foreigners in the clubs/pubs. this is a point needed an emphasize. if in Tel-Aviv chances are that the girl has seen and talked to a foreigner in the past month, Girls in Beer Sheva although had seen a foreigner probably didnt talk to one for a long time.
FACT: YOU WILL GET A LOT OF ATTENTION HERE!
the train from tel aviv to Beer-Sheva north/uni is only 1:50 hours and costs 3x shekels one way (less than 10$). accommodations wise you have hotels in Beer-Sheva although i would recommend couchsurfing in the students's apartments as they are 5 min walk from uni and could probably get you the scoop of the nightlife.
good luck

Now that is the kind of useful info we need around here! I've been researching a trip to Israel can't say any of the guidebooks I've come across really go into Beer-Sheva as a destination you have to hit but seems like for our purposes it's one you can't really miss.

i wanted to edit my post but a reply will suffice i hope.
After thinking it through i thought it would be much more polite of me to give you a basic guide how to implement what had been said in the post:

1) Find a flight to Israel
2) Enter http://www.couchsurfing.org/ there are 200+ profiles of couches in Be'er Sheva most of them are of students that rent an apartment near uni.
3) make a few couch requests for the dates that you are in Israel
4) By now you have an accomodation taking care of.
5) Enjoy the flight
6) You land at the Israeli airport
7) You can take the train straight from the airport to Be´er Sheva
8) You crash on the host´s couch and are ready to go

Simple as that

I have always wanted to go to Israel after banging a few Israelli girls in Thailand many years back. They were awesome.
But there were quite a few Israeli guys trying to fight me whenever I came over and started acting like a sex pest around their women.
It seems like everything is a Dick-measuring contest to Israelli guys?
