Hi my fellow Anglos, after living in London, and seeing dwindling prospects of finding a nice girl to date, my long term plan is to eventually try moving to the US.

I work as a Software Developer, so I was hoping I could maybe leverage that to get sponsorship for work.

I'm Australian, but apparently sound very British, I'm 5 ft 11 and would be about a 6 - 7 in looks. Everyone in the forum says having a southern English accent or Australian accent will add 1 or 2 to your score so I was hoping a long term move would help me to find a 7-8 worth dating.

I've seen people describe cities such as Chicago, or Charlotte, but does anyone have any experience of dating in the US with a foreign accent?

Also I don't use tinder etc, so ideally somewhere , where girls still go out and are approachable.

Thanks for your time if your reading this.

What climate do you like? Where are you politically? Do you prefer big cities, rural areas, suburbs? Interests?

For tech you have like 3-5 hubs:
- SF
- NYC
- Austin
- Seattle
- Some other shit hole.

Charlotte might be nice and southern but if you come from London you're going to get bored fast. When I'm in Oklahoma I learned that people's idea of going out was going to a friend's home, hitting bars from midnight-2am, then heading back to the friend's home. I showed up to a bar at 10pm and it was me and three other guys. Smaller cities will pay you less using "lower cost of living" as the excuse.

Englishman of 7 years in the US.

College towns when they are in session can be gold - if you can pass for, say, 26/27 max really.

I recommend the good tier 2 cities like Austin, Seattle, Tampa, etc.

Basically, you will be more of a novelty there.

But they aren’t as good for every other factor as my two favs...

NYC has the best quality and volume but you will hear English/Aussie/Irish accents every single day.

Chicago is the perfect medium IMO. You won’t be particularly unique but you won’t be nearly as saturated as NYC and it’s a great place to live. Good nightlife, food, women and great housing - all at affordable costs.

NYC is outrageously expensive. Much more so than London these days.

[jbkunt2]

I need to emphasise further...

Pick one of:

NYC
Chicago

You cannot move from London to anywhere else here without down grading on a lot of aspects IMO.

Do you like driving? Sitting in traffic? If so, you can pick anywhere else I suppose.

You will also find the average person you meet outside of these two cities will be a lot less sophisticated and worldly. Maybe SF is an exception but that place sucks.

Forget novelty factor of your accent - it’s overexagerred anyway.

Pick a great place to live. Those two are.

University towns, the South, Midwest, etc. Girls in small towns love foreigners, especially Anglosphere men.

Case and point, these Brit guys who come to the US to bang american women in university towns, small towns, etc, and who have had tremendous amounts of success:

Quote:

William is the guy sitting third from the left in this picture. He's also the first man to hit on me in 2016, and he's my first kiss of the new year. As well as my second. And third. And... you get the picture. William is part of a group of British guys who travel thousands of miles across the pond just to get laid. On New Year's Eve, they went to San Diego on their international pickup tour, and I went with them. San Diego was an atypical place for them, as they'd made a tradition of following a model I'd compare to a plotline from the film Love Actually: go to a bumblefuck college town in America, impress girls with their British accents, and have as much sex as possible. Frustratingly enough, this plan was working its magic, and shamefully enough, it was working on me.

"I don't fuck my stories," I told William.

At this, William balked: "Who says I'm trying to fuck you?" Well, for one, his friends did, as one of them was making penetration motions with his hands to me behind William's head. On top of that, that was the entire point of their trip. Though this was William's first foray into anglophile-baiting sex tourism, his friends Dan, Carl, and Chris had fucked their way through several college towns, including Auburn, West Chester, Syracuse, Tuscaloosa, and Tempe, all trading off the basic assumption that British dudes are more attractive than American ones. Their operation has proven effective: the Auburn student newspaper wrote about the fact that they came to the town at all, which should give you an idea of how excited some American women are at the prospect of simply interacting with them.

In the 12 hours we spent together from 10 PM on New Year's Eve to a very hungover ride back to Los Angeles International Airport the next morning, I saw three naked girls in the flesh and heard tales of run-ins with Ron Jeremy, a British pornstar, and angry parents who tried to assault Chris for sleeping with their daughter in the middle of a forest in Pennsylvania. I spent the entire evening with them, yelling over a crowded table of several women competing for their bottle service, watching over the aftermath the next morning in their hotel suites (after all but William had gotten laid; William and I "snogged and cuddled," as Chris put it, adding that it made him feel nauseous), and riding along in the car during their last moments in the States.

I talked with girls who called themselves sluts for sleeping with them, but never once heard the guys talk down about their entire operation. They were adamant about not being cast as pickup artists in my story. But they readily admitted to lying to girls when they met them, saying they were writers from the British GQ, or the entire band the Arctic Monkeys. And even when they didn't, they were still using their accents to get pussy. Their very presence in these places seems to be the neg: we're here, we sound cooler than that guy you fucked last week, and we'll give you a more interesting story to tell than anything you could drum up in this town. Perhaps if every pickup artist had a British accent, a boarding pass, and a current passport, they wouldn't have to resort to traditional negging.

Here's our conversation, which has been edited for length and clarity:

VICE: Why do you think it's so easy for you to hook up with girls in the United States?
Chris: Well we have a joke that girls in like, middle America are just like, "Help, help!" about the men here. You go to West Virginia to any bar and see what you're up against.
Carl: Backwards cap, sneakers.
Chris: They wear hunting jackets out to the bar!
Dan: We wear our street clothes out, casual clothes, and birds are like "Oh, you look so nice! You're dressed up!"
William: Girls give me a lot of credit for the name William here, even, they're like, "Oooh, it's so English!" It's as easy as an accent and a name.

First determine what your goals are going to be. Are you trying to advance your career and make as much money as possible, or do you most desire to have fun and screw chicks? If you’re more career oriented, then the markets you should most covet will invariably affect the kind of women you’ll have access to, which may or may not be a tenable arrangement for you in the long run, or any better than what you can obtain elsewhere in the English speaking world.

If it’s poon tang your most covet, you should first be honest with yourself about the way reality jives with your expectations. Do you feel like you’ve had relatively good success in Australia and Britain? If so, then there’s not many places you could end up in the USA where you’d be doing worse, at the very least. If you’re looking to reverse prior struggles, then there’s a very real chance that America may not prove to be much more fruitful, if at all.

While changes in scenery can often be helpful, one thing they cannot fix is a poor attitude and approach. Not at all saying any of this applies to you, but it’s just something everyone in your position needs to ponder a bit, as your ability to find success in the states will still greatly hinge on your character and disposition, just as it would in Oz and Blighty.

As a place with a strong market in both your field and also attractive, college aged women, Central Texas in the regional vicinity of Austin might have a lot to offer for you.

Yeah I've heard about Austin, seems to be like a good option since there are two universities and there are alot of tech companies. Plus I also heard about South part of the states being a bit more open (southern hospitality).

So I actually find London to be quite stressful, a lot of pollution, girls and people are quite stuck up. I'm guessing Chicago sounds like a good place to be!

I have two questions @jbkunt2.

How difficult was it for you to move to the US work/visa wise ?
When you say the accent novelty is overrated, would you say it's still more helpful than being a Brit in London? (All these forums suggest London is the worst place for meeting humble girls, I tend to agree, that there are alot of stuck up women in this city).

[Cman]

Just thought I would update some info I received from a friend. He is Australian and went on exchange to Alabama, he said it was awesome and did a road trip around the South.

He said the best city in terms of local friendliness, girls and work prospects was Austin (he had also been to Chicago but he did go in winter). My current goal is to go on holiday around Tampa etc in September and try and build my software development experience to try and apply for job sponsorship. I know this may be difficult but I may aswell try.

[jbkunt2]

Austin is a great shout. I'm a big fan of that place and it has a big tech scene.

It's in my top 3 fav places in the US along with Chicago and NYC.

I'm actually thinking about moving there myself.
