1 - Beach towns are the absolute worst places to live long term. Dirty, overpriced, full of stupid tourists, weather is even worse in the winter.
2 - Being American doesn’t automatically get you “in” with foreign girls. It might get your foot in the door for a date. It doesn’t mean you’ll have a harem of hotties waiting for you on the tarmac.
3 - Somehow, fast food in America makes you fatter than fast food in Europe. Taste a Big Mac in Europe then fly home to America. The difference is noticeable.
4 - Even more socialized countries are better than America tax wise. What do you get for American taxes? Nothing. People think the USA is the greatest. It’s a joke.
5 - Americans are idiots because a lot of them trust the government. They think they do good. We’re one of the few nations abroad who are stupid enough to collectively think this.
6 - Learning a foreign language for dating purposes is stupid. It’s always better to play on your home field.
7 - Multiculturalism is retarded. Slightly racist (read: skeptical) countries are the best. Keep the low life out. Let in the exceptional.
8 - Turkish people are insufferable when they’re abroad. In Turkey they are much better. Everybody in Turkey hates the Turkish sex tourists who plague other countries.
9 - British stag parties are repulsive and should be banned. Downing 30 beers by 6pm is so disgusting it boggles the mind. This is not an unpopular opinion just a fact.
10 - America is flat out f*cking ugly.
What idiot thought strip malls was an improvement.
What idiot thought strip malls was an improvement.
11 - Cars are only cool to have as a LUXURY. As a way of life, they blow.
12 - Forget being a “clean” society. Corrupt societies are WAY better. Money buys anything. Clean societies just have their minions fooled.
13 - American girls are so f*cked up and broken. Til you see different you see a naive fool.
14 - Abortion should be illegal. It keeps sluts in check.
15 - People who hate on expats for going abroad “because they couldn’t cut it in America” are just mad they don’t have balls.
16- American does Italian food better than Italy & Chinese food better than China.
17 - Italy & Spain are the two most overrated places by ignorant Americans.
18 - And London. God, London is a shithole. Don’t go to London.
19 - British food is the worst in the world.
20 - New York is not the rest of America just like how Russia is not all of EE.
Not every EE person is a gopnik.
Not every EE person is a gopnik.
21 - British beer is also the worst in the world. For the love of God just avoid the UK.
22 - you haven’t lived until you’ve been through a major FSU city on a warm spring day and seen the talent yourself. Most chumps in America would wet themselves.
23 - Warsaw is one of the ugliest cities in Europe because it’s modern.
24 - Czech people are the weirdest in Central/Eastern Europe.
25 - Southeast Asia is disgustingly hot. No sane person would live there full time. It’s also what draws the most desperate of men for $10 GoGo hookers.
26 - America has no balls. Pathetic how people bowed to their government overlords in all this. LET IT BURN.
27 -
Americans are more ignorant culturally.
Brits are more ignorant socially.
Americans are more ignorant culturally.
Brits are more ignorant socially.
28 - It is PATHETIC how bad the train system is in America. PATHETIC. Third world places have better infrastructure.
29 - Chicago O’Hare and London Heathrow are by far the worst two major airports in the world.
30 - I forgot Dulles. That place blows too.
31 - Czech food might be the worst in the world. Oily potatoes. Oily meat. Oily dumplings. All washed down with a 300 calorie Staropramen.
32 - Countries would be better if they were conquered. Propping up third world dumps to virtue signal holds our whole species back.
33 - If she says she’s a foodie she’s a fucking fatty.
34 - America causes hangovers with their early 1:45am last calls. Again, we’re pussies. Stay out until 5am. Pacing yourself is a hangover cure.
35 - $20/m public transit pass > $200/m car insurance
36 - American health insurance is a scam. I could probably break every bone in my body and have it mended in cash in EE — all for less than a year of premiums in America.
37 - Nearly every “authentic Italian meal omg so good” that American girls post on IG is reheated canned sauce and pasta prepared by an immigrant.
GARBAGE

38 - The government and banks fear #Bitcoin 
because it cuts them out of it (i.e. their "cut" for being worthless scum). They say it's "dangerous" because people do "bad things" with it. The only bad things that happen is how they steal from normal citizens.

39 - The only thing that has a chance of "fixing" American girls is something as crazy as COVID19.
It's going to take a lot of them having miserable lives for them to get some perspective and to reset the dating field to normal.

40 - Slavic languages are far more vivid (in addition to complex) than English. When you dig deeper, English is just flat. You can express much more, and more vividly, in many other languages.
41 - The USA is doomed because the incentives have been removed.
If you're successful, you're taxed out the ass, given nothing, and it's redistributed to the poor.
This is socialism.
That makes people leave (while they still can).

42 - Americans are so spoiled with air conditioners, private bathrooms for every family member, and general life comforts.
43 - Americans are stupidly spoiled when traveling too, expecting cultures halfway around the globe to cater to their every whim.
44 - American chicks are HANDS DOWN THE MOST ANNOYING AND LOUD TALKERS EVER.
Want to eat dinner in private? Best hope you don't have an American girl at the restaurant next f*cking door

45 - Americans are grossly uncomfortable with silence and feel the need to share their opinion on ever. single. little. thing.
It's exhausting.
Just give me my burrito, I don't need to tell you about my life, you're working at the airport tex mex ffs.

46 - Eastern Europeans have no sense of personal space. Do not move to most of Eastern Europe if you have an aversion to having hot breathe on your neck in every line.
Social distancing, signs, and bright yellow tape has still yet to fix this.

47 - The Balkans (Serbia, Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria, that general area) PALE in comparison to many other places...
UNLESS
You're going to spend significant time there.
They're very closed off, cliquey societies.
This is a good thing overall.

48 - Those Balkans places have the best food in Europe besides Georgian/Caucausus food (see below)
49 - America is only considered a "hard-working country" because of our willingness to subject ourselves to the 8 hour office slavery grind.
We're just as lazy as other countries. We spend our day trying to look busy. Other countries don't try to do this, they just drink.

50 - Venice is the worst and most overrated city in the world.
Terribly dirty, crowded, full of filthy people, and reheated microwave food passed for tourist fare.
Rome has all of the same but much more tolerable and interesting.

51 - Americans can't read.
One or two books about Communism under the Soviet Union would get everyone to stop talking about Socialism.
I recommend starting here (affiliate link):

Also good (more for entertaining)

52 - American girls somehow end up being just as high maintenance as Slavic women but with none of the benefits of how they look.
53 - If you can't get a girl in your own country you have no business trying to shortcut it abroad.
54 - Losing classical architecture in favor of the modern atrocities might very well be why God (if he exists) created coronavirus.
55 - Americans may be ignorant as fuck but a lot of countries are arrogant as fuck who have no right to be.
What have Greece, Spain, Italy or France done in the last 100 years that was worthwhile?

56 - The Brits too, now that I think about it. Londonistan isn’t working out too well. https://twitter.com/clive_bissel/status/1255784550946557952?=21
57 - Western customer service SUCKS. too many niceties. There is a middle ground between friendly and efficient. Not everybody wants to be BFFs with the wait staff.
58 - I haven't really ragged on Paris yet...
Frankly though, I think it's sad. I was there a few years ago. Disgusting mess. Emmanuel Macron desires to burn his country and let Africans colonize it.

59 - Most men would rather pay for stuff on the internet than get ACTUAL help.
Cam girls & foreign dating sites are the perfect example.
Desperate and pathetic men will gladly spend thousands to send messages to a woman.

60 - Doctors abroad have much more pure hearts than in America.
You don't toil through med school to make $300-$1,000/m unless you REALLY, GENUINELY want to help people.

61 - The Middle Eastern countries do something better than everyone:
Keeping their women in line.
Keeping their women in line.
62 - The sex scene in places like Thailand isn’t “cool”. It’s sad. Only desperate incels would think otherwise.
63 - Life abroad is only good if you can leverage your home currency.
It's better to be middle class in the West than it is to be middle class in the second or third world.
But upper class in second/third world beats Western middle class (and maybe even upper West)

64 - Lifestyle > Game
Living in one place for a period of time will make your dating life superior to those passing by.

66 - Babushkas (grandmas) are the pillar of societies and American boomer grandmas are complete failures at being matriarchs.
67 - Cats are useless creatures who serve one purpose:
To be kicked.
To be kicked.
68 - Balkan people are lazier then Mediterraneans.
69 - The only useful to learn are Spanish and Russian. All these other countries with their own specialized languages in a country of 3-5 million are dumb.
70 - Istanbul might be the most underrated city on the planet. I’ve never enjoyed a city more as a tourist. There’s nowhere else like it.
71 - America has a bunch of diseases that don't exist in other places.
Flip on the TV. How many diseases do you hear? And then there's a medicine, and a side effect. There's millions.

72 - Eastern Europeans drink less alcohol than Americans. For all the rep Slavic men get for being alcohol-fueled junkies, your average American housewife drinks 10x the wine he does vodka.
73 - Americans trust everyone and many foreign countries trust no one.
Lots of lessons in this.
Lots of lessons in this.
74 - A dating market is BROKEN when your average guy can't do okay.
I'm not saying don't be the best you can be.
But if average men can't get a decently attractive girl, the whole system COLLAPSES.
Foreign countries keep this in check.

75 - There's a reason fathers used to marry off their daughters at a young age and the husband would get her pregnant right away.
Many reasons, actually.

76 -
(I got a lot of catching up to do on this)
The NYC Subway and London Underground are two of the most disgusting mass transit systems in the world.
Packed, stupid expensive, dirty.
Warsaw, Prague, Budapest, Istanbul all blow them out of the water (off top of my head)

77 - Berlin is the most boring big city I’ve ever been to.
78 - Dictatorships function well for certain demographics, until the dictators push it too far, which is inevitable because it’s human nature to accumulate MOAR POWER
79 - “Old Town” is nothing like a city or country in any European city.
80 - Southern food > Northern food
I can’t think of any exception to this, anywhere.
I can’t think of any exception to this, anywhere.
81 - A lot of people hate America and yet still want to be protected by America, consume American invented goods, and watch American entertainment.
82 -
2 years later America is still conjuring money out of thin air.
Other countries have seen this playbook before.
Americans still seem unaware.

83 -
People abroad are significantly more educated.
Many more Europeans could tell you what inflation is and why it's bad than Americans.
Americans are being told by CNN that inflation is "actually a good thing".
And they're falling for it.

Starting over in a new country is not as hard as you think.
