I'm an American who recently moved to a certain northern Italian city about three months ago for school (cheap tuition, some adventure). Anyways, in all the time I've been here I've only hooked up with one girl, I plated her and we'd fuck now and then, but I had to drop her because I felt I could do much better.

I have some leads, but they're just that: leads. I talk to lots of girls and they all smile and laugh and flirt a little, but nothing ever comes of it... and this is after lowering my standards to get some female attention.

I'd be on my fucking game and ask them out. "Oh sorry! I'd rather go to the club and be grinded on by 5 random guys at once." or "I have a high school reunion that night, how about coffee instead?"

But it's not me! I went back home for a few days and holy shit did girls throw themselves at me. I went to a house party, played a game of beer pong with a random girl, exchanged a few words, and next thing you know we're making out in my friend's bed with the door locked. I fired up Tinder while back home and got ~20 matches a day from only swiping on 7s and above. This absolutely gorgeous girl saw my snapchat story which showed the geo-tag from back home and messaged me out of the blue. Another, who I never met in person before, invited me over to "hang out" at her house while her parents were gone for the weekend.

My close group of friends are all international guys - one's from Amsterdam, one's from Dublin, another from Paris. They completely agree with my sentiment that girls out are incredibly unreceptive. This is a conclusion we came to after months and months of shared experiences.

Girls here want you to chase them for months and months. They want you to beg for a single date to prove yourself to them, a date where, of course, you pay for everything in this goddamn expensive city.

Fuck that. I don't chase. My style is taking a girl out, giving her a good time, and then ignoring her until she displays interest. But no, that doesn't work here. These girls won't text you, they'll forget you exist until a few weeks later when they send you a stupid snapchat in a plea for attention. Back home, my style worked like a charm, and with a lot hotter girls.

So what gives? These girls have to be fucking somebody.

I'm American with a six pack, very good facial structure and build, and a "why the fuck not" fun, spontaneous, attitude. Only thing is that I'm around 5'8" while most guys here are at least 6 foot. But that didn't stop me back home and it sure as hell shouldn't be stopping me here. Besides, my friends are 6'4" and share the same frustrations.

So what the fuck is going on? I'm really tempted to go back to the US, enroll in cheap pussy Disneyland (I meant college), be able to work since I speak the language, stop living so frugally, and take charge of my life.
