You need a local connection if youre heading to the south. Social circle is key. Otherwise you should focus on college town events (in the fall) or Tampa or Austin

Terrible post. American women f*cking love British accents.

Others have posted, but the key is to go with a full-on British accent, speak loudly, often, use flowery language and use as many classic British phrases (bin/for fuck's sake/rubbish/get sorted).

Other advice for Brits is actually to move to the US -- british accents sound more intelligent, so likely it will help with your career. You can make friends with a higher social set with a british accent, marry up, get promoted more quickly, and have affairs with hotter women... In addition, wages in any skilled profession in the US are already substantially higher than in the UK.

I've had british colleagues in the US who were complete rubbish, and yet who made careers out of sounding more sophisticated than they actually were...

You won't be the first British guy to visit NYC, for god sakes don't start talking loud so people can hear you.
Fat American girls do that shit in London, it drives people crazy.

One of my good buddies from the UK played collegiate sports, partied all the time, and didn't really do shit academically....yet he bullshitted his way into the upper echelon circles, hot chicks, and a phat career thus far at Goldman Sachs.
