As I type this, I am currently driving so I apologize if I make any grammatical or spelling errors or the post seems strange.
Has anyone ever tried just chiling around hostels in a city hey are in such as la or nyc fr instane s a means of meeting foreign women? I haven't yet hought of an excuse to bin a hostel unles you're staying there s the staff wouldn't bother you, but if you could it is possible to meet an attractive girl or two from abroad theoretically?

While travelling around France, I met a fellow Brit who lived in Paris and did just this. He was very successful. Described it as shooting fish in a barrel, though he did admit that most of those fish were Aussie's and Kiwi's.
Would imagine it to work a charm. Girls on holiday are more than keen and desperate for excitement. Heading down with a friend or group, exciting a crowd, leading them to a great local bar and then heading to yours for an afterparty would work a treat. Of course; if you neither live near a youth hostel, the hostel does not have a busy bar or you cannot pass for being in your twenties your mileage will vary.

I can't speak for LA but hostels in NYC are usually in shitty secured buildings w/o lobbies, and on busy side streets that make for hanging around outside somewhat unfeasible, even with friends.

hostel game is often the way to go, especially if your standard day/night game is yielding poor/little fruit
i tried this last time i was in france and also in belgium, while rolling solo and there was definite potential, shame my game wasn't so great back then
like you guys said, the standard varies a lot, but I've found C-link hostel in King's X in London to have a higher standard than most

It might work to offer tours to hostelers. Make us some nice flyers for pub tours, walking tours, historical tours, shopping, ect. It's a quick way to infiltrate the hostel and your intentions not be questioned.

Has anybody stayed in any hostels in the USA? I've thought about doing a cross country trip and though this would be a good way to meet foreign girls.

There's one in Chicago that would probably be fairly easy to hangaround. it's on congress I believe big glass windows so you can see in, not totally locked up, also on a busy pedestrian area so could easily hang around outside.
