I have lived in Switzerland for a long period of my life and I can totally sign this. Even just going across the border to Austria or to the French and Italian parts of Switzerland will give you a noticeable change.
I do agree with the race issue. Blacks, turks, people from EE in general are treated like shit. Even being a foreigner here and not speaking German perfectly (super hard language) will get you disrespect. As a tourist though, they don't care (as long as you're white and don't belong to the groups named above).
The dudes here at random bars dress up in shitty clothes, don't shave and think that wearing billabong on a friday night is awesome.
That being said, being a foreign guy with lifestyle, swagger and balls will provide you with more Germanic pussy than you could ever imagine in big German cities. I'm a latino myself and I can say that from what I see, those are the ones that do best with German girls.
Going to check out Hamburg soon, so we'll see. Munich so far has been a disappointment. Berlin had some sick nightlife and super hot chicks, athought it was very bohemian too. If you're black or from EE, stick to the hip hop/EE club scene. Don't expect to get beaten up but expect to be treated poorly by idiots during the daytime.
100% agree with this assesment. Spoken like a dude who has been in the field a while.
It's unfortunate, but it is what it is. Deal with it. Going around the hip hop circuit is one way to deal with it, but that was never my style. Pretending it's not there is another way, but as soon as you find that person you really like and they hurt your little feelings by telling you they don't mess with blacks/asians/latins/whites/whatever, it's hard to ignore. I find that most Germans are not so dense and bigoted as to not recognize game/wealth/status/friendliness. If you're a hard working dude you can transcend all but the most bigoted people in Germany. Honestly I probably wouldn't have received as much racist resistance as I did had I learned how to speak the language. German born blacks have it much easier. But Germans are not the most patient people, and will regularly yell and scream at foreign people for not understanding German, even when you just want to practice with them. If I could have learned to deal with that and plow through anyway, learn the language better, those same people would have probably given me a chance. But knowing myself, I'm not the type of dude who will let someone in my life after showing their ass the first time.

They've been saying what I highlighted in bold about everywhere in Europe. Roosh heard it about Denmark, Poland and probably the Baltics too. Is there any truth in it? If there was he would be nowhere as successful as he was. It's fear mongering. Hell, look at his last tweet about the Estonian girl he fucked. It doesn't fucking matter as long you're game is tight. I'm a minority and I've gamed enough German (tourist) girls to know that they are real friendly, hell friendlier then the local girls here. And almost all of them were Bavarians who are supposed to be the most conservative of all Germans.
In terms of how beta their men are and how much they're said to love black guys, Germans share that with their Scandinavian neighbours.
BTW: Are their many brown (Indian etc) looking guys in Germany? Or are they pretty rare?
It all depends on what country you're in. The EU is a really diverse community mentally and physically. I've been to Estonia and did feel a tinge of racism there. I can still pull, but my white friends could pull much easier. In Latvia, it was all mine. From what I've seen, it's basically local Euro dudes who are the biggest culprit in spreading the propaganda about not fucking with foreign dudes out of hate and jealousy. Some Euro girls are like "get out my face with that bullshit" while others really believe in racial purity or that every foreigner will ultimately leave them and go back to their home country. But Euro dudes got no problems going after my black 18 year old sister when she comes to visit me in Europe. Fucking hypocrites man.
And you should really be careful not to mix foreign traveled German girls in with local ones. I think I've said this before, but German girls you see in a foreign country or who have spent an extended amount of time in a foreign country are a different breed than the ones back home. Same as American girls that travel. DO NOT think that they're all like that. Granted, yes German girls on average are a lot less bitchy than US girls. But friendly is one thing local Germans are not. Friendly and German don't even belong in the same sentence. German girls overseas are THERE TO MEET YOU. That's why they're there. That's why they're friendly. If you go to a bar in Germany and post up, they won't talk to you. If you talk to them, and don't speak German, they won't talk to you. Some of them have no interest in your home country or could give a rats ass about American music/movies. They're in they're German biosphere. And after they're done fumbling around in broken English with you, they're going to go over to the other side of the dance floor and tongue down Andreas because he's German. So don't get it twisted homie.
And with regards of what Germans and Scandinavians have in common, I'd say both chicks love black dudes, and both guys are boring beta's who all dress the same and are scared to talk to girls. No but actually German guys are awesome in that they really aren't many players there and most of them are good standup guys who will be friends for life and are usually good husbands/fathers. They're just not the dangerous, off the wall, fuck a lot of bitches and run game type of guys. They're perfectly domesticated and boring lol.

I've been living in Koln (Cologne if you're a yank) for 3 months so far. I expect to stay here 2-3 years.
Thus far, I am NOT impressed things here. However, you have to consider the fact that before Koln, I was living in Hong Kong, Bangkok, and The Philippines. So coming back to "society", especially a German one (I'm American by birth) after 6 years in SE Asia was a serious shock. Filipinas and Thais behave basically as 13 year olds, regardless of their age. Game accordingly. Now throwing me in the middle of serious German girls, I feel all fucked up.
I mostly agree with Ronnies assessment. I too find the women to be fairly cold and humorless. Light teasing definitely does not seem to work. They seem to take it literally, the way a school age kid would in the States. I remember the 1st (and only) Frauline I teased. She sent me an SMS involving 'germans' and 'nice' and I was able to send a clever reply (or so I thought it was...) of something like "Yeah, but German people aren't nice". Poof, that was it. Never heard from her again. And I was totally kidding. Wonder if it would have been any different if I had put a
at the end of it?
However, there definitely are a ton of good looking women here, especially if you don't mind a bigger gal and a little bit of a ButHerFace. But seriously, when you're 69ing, do you even CARE if she has a face at all? I don't. German women tend to be pretty thick when it comes to the booty/legs department and so IMO it's definitely an Assmans country.
I'm a WASP (as white as they come) and thus haven't experienced any coldness due to color. I also haven't experienced any of the anti-american thing. But again, I've only been here 2 months so far. When living in Bangkok, the only really obvious anti-american encounter I had was with 2 Austrian guys in Kao San Road. When living in Hong Kong, the only one I had was with an older German guy at a bar in the mid levels. But thus far in Cologne, haven't received any anti american hating.
AmericaninEurope has some very good points too. Learning German DEFINITELY increases your odds. Anyone who says otherwise is FOS and/or has never been here. However, I fully understand laziness with respect to learning a new language and if you're only here 2 months, honestly I wouldn't bother. Hell, I'll be here years and I have yet to learn more than like 5 words of German (my job doesn't require it).
I'd like to hear some of Ronnie's recommendations for these Polish/Russian clubs in Cologne. I haven't found any yet, care to share?
Enjoy your time in Germany even if you don't get laid. Its a good place to visit.
I feel your pain bro. I came to Germany straight from Japan (many years ago) and Asia is the absolute worst place to transition from when moving to DE. German people are cold and humorless. It's true. Plow through it. I know the feeling, pretty much going from Asia where you provide endless emotional cuteness and high energy friendliness until you get them to your place, to the intellectual frankness and directness that German girls respond to. German girls do like to laugh, but few initiate it. You may have to play cocky funny and sexual with them to get them on your side. German girls have been stiff and cold for a long time, as it's expected in public. It has something to do with the Bismark era and the "German Identity" of not showing your emotions in public. You're dealing with an aristocratic stuck-upness that few white Americans have ever had to deal with. Honestly, what you're experiencing closely parallels what a black guy experiences when gaming white chicks in the snobby Northeast of America. But anyway, it can be plowed through

You gotta remember, bullshitting and tuting your horn is not something that Germans do. They say what they mean, and don't waste time with vague things like humor and abstraction lol. In the case of your SMS girl, you def. gotta let them know you're joking about that so you don't come across as complaining about Germany. A smiley face would have been good. But honestly I think she probably just lost interest. You need to be talking about the cool shit you're gonna be doing together or setting up a date over SMS. Not that bullshit. Sorry. Germans respond to ironic humor and kinda slapstick shit, like somebody slipping on some ground ice and hitting their head, or seeing something in real life happen that you guys where just talking about 5 minutes ago. They also love making generalizations about people, and making of fun of races/countries/stereotypes. If you can laugh at yourself, I'd make some jokes about how stupid Americans are. Also, telling a girl directly that you like her and think she's pretty is actually a good thing. Again, German girls respond to directness. Make that the central theme to your game, getting her to understand that you like her. If she says you don't even know me so how to do like me, I'd go into a DHV story about how you don't believe in leaving things to chance and if you see something you like you take as you don't know when you'll see her again. If you're doing street game, def. have to speak German to them at first. For the clubs around you, virtualnights.de is what I'd hit. Russian clubs aren't advertised as "Russian Clubs" lol so you'll have to ask a Russian. One shouldn't be hard to find. Also, don't think just because they're cold that you can't be the man and take charge. In Asia you were probably taught to take the girls hand and lead them to the coffee shop or your apartment. There's nothing wrong with doing that there too. If she laughs, you're in and you need to bounce her to an insta-date spot. On SMS take fucking charge and tell them you want them to come over, or you wanna see them, or that you like them. They're not all scared little puppies, scared of everything, like US girls are. So be a man and tell them what you want.
You're a lucky man. I'd kill for a job right in NRW.

This lack of humor sucks big time.
How much Jante Law influences this behaviour among Germans?
Again, I think it's just a directness they have. They def. don't have a sense of humor and cannot laugh at themselves at all. Self depricating humor is non-existant in Germany. They take themselves very serious. I had a hard time dealing with that recently, and found myself going to England and Netherlands to get away from that. It started to affect and scew with my thinking a bit, as being different or energetic comes across as acting like a clown sometimes, so in order to blend in you kind of fall in line and act like everyone else. But once again, you can learn to use your disadvantage (being foreign) as an advantage. I find the few successful German player dudes I've seen stand out because they have this kind of live and let live mentality. To me, they were kinda just acting like British guys, and that was tremendously refreshing for the frauleins. In a culture focused on always being right, these guys didn't care about being right or wrong. They were just cool, living in the moment. This is a STARCK contrast to the rest of the German guys, and if you can find a way to come off as funny or genuinely laid back then girls will respond to that.
