I'm a nomad so I'm always on the move and gaming in different places around the world and one thing I've noticed in my time doing so is the difference in difficulty level based on how touristic a city is. For instance, a lot of guys will say "just go to LATAM, it's like shooting fish in a barrel" and while it does ring true for a lot of places in LATAM, there are many where you will struggle just as you do back home and it's typically the cities that are more touristic.

I call this the Tourist Theory and it all comes down to the basic principles of supply and demand. A lot of guys struggle at home because they have a lot of competition, a lot of other guys who look or act like them. Too much supply, too little demand.

It's the same principle when they travel to a city that attracts a lot of tourism since they are still competing with all the other tourists who also look and act like them. There just isn't as much demand because there is such a high supply.

I've noticed this in places like Rio de Janeiro, Cusco, and Cancun. Locals simply aren't as invested in meeting you because you're just another gringo of many and if you do meet them, they play harder to get. However, if you go to Sao Paulo, Lima, and Mexico City, it really is like shooting fish in a barrel since they jump at the opportunity to meet someone different.

Basically, the sweet spot is a city that is both non-touristic, but also big because it means there are plenty of single girls and not so many other dudes to compete with. Lots of demand, very little supply. Other LATAM cities I've experienced that meet this criteria include Asuncion, Arequipa, and San Jose, CR.

And the more non-touristic the place is, the easier it is. Asuncion for example, was one of the easiest places in the world to pick up women in my experience. I had no issues convincing most of them to come straight to mine for the first date and had multiple instances of having more than 1 girl come over on the same day.

Now this isn't to say that you can't still have success in touristic cities. Of course you can, but I've noticed the success tends to happen more with other foreign girls, not with locals. Girls you meet at hostel bars and on pub crawls. Girls you meet on walking tours or on the street taking photos of local tourist attractions.

When girls are on holiday, they tend to be more open to random sexcapades and in-the-moment romances. Something about feeling as though they aren't being judged as they would back home. This especially applies in places known for partying like Playa Del Carmen (which is day & night game heaven, by the way).

Anyway, that's just my take. Curious to hear what you guys think.
