TL;DR at the end
So I've been nomading around Latin America for the past year and thought I'd share my experience and thoughts on the different countries/cities that I've spent some time in when it comes to dating because while everyone knows that LATAM is game on easy mode, it still varies a decent amount between countries/cities so if you're considering heading down there, it's good to know what to expect.
The countries that I will talk about are Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Paraguay, and Uruguay. If you're wondering why I haven't done Colombia, it's mostly because of all the shit I hear about people getting drugged (scoped) and robbed in Medellin by girls they meet on dating apps and while I have friends who have gone and been fine, I'm just playing it safe for now and sticking to other countries.
For reference, I'm white, speak fluent spanish + learned portuguese, have maximized my attractiveness, and optimized my online dating profile so all that definitely impacts my results. If you're a minority, only speak english, haven't worked on yourself, or are trying to game with a shitty OLD profile, YMMV so keep that in mind when reading this (although many women had some level of english too so that one isn't as big of a problem).
I'll go in alphabetical order for this so let's start with:
Argentina
~
I spent a couple months in Buenos Aires, using it as a base to explore the rest of Argentina. It's quite an inexpensive city since the country is going through some rough economic inflation so going on dates won't break the bank for the most part. I had pretty good success there, averaging about 8 different girls per month around a 7.7/10 in looks (personal ranking).
Most of them came from apps, but a few also came from social events, specifically Mundo Lingo which is a language exchange event where the premise is to go and practice different languages while meeting new people. In reality, most people just go to flirt and make friends as there are plenty of people who show up only speaking one language too.
I didn't try any daygame there and nightlife started way too late for me to want to test out night game so it was purely apps and social events that I used to meet women. That's also something to keep in mind with Argentina - people eat and drink late so a lot of dates will start after 9/10pm and often, girls will even think you're inviting them out for dinner around that time as opposed to just drinks since that's their normal dinnertime.
Another thing to note is that since most Argentinians have a lot of European blood, it actually kinda takes away from the gringo advantage since you blend in a lot more with the locals as a lot of them are also white. In fact, I was often mistaken for being Argentinian while I was there. However, interest did increase when they realized I was actually foreign.
Overall though, Argentina was pretty solid when it comes to dating. For living though, I personally didn't really enjoy Buenos Aires for several reasons. I preferred Mendoza, which also had its fair share of attractive women (who also seemed easier too, probably due to less foreign competition). If you're only trying to fuck though, then there are better places for that so keep on reading.
Brazil
~
Brazil was a bit of a mixed bag. Some cities were a lot easier than others which is part of what inspired this post. For instance, Sao Paulo was great for dating. Lots of very attractive women who are fairly easy, a decent amount of them being willing to do house dates. I had great success there as well, averaging 10.5 women per month around an 8/10, usually with the apps, but also at MultiLingo - SP's version of MundoLingo.
Rio, on the other hand, was a lot more difficult to game in. I attribute this to a mix of the city having so many things to do and there being a lot of competition from other foreigners. Sao Paulo is the biggest city, but fewer foreigners travel there because it's really just a concrete jungle, making you stand out a lot more. However in Rio, you're just another one of the many gringos there so girls are overall less thirsty for you. It's also super expensive (although SP is also a little pricey too tbf).
I also spent some time in Salvador too which surprisingly, was even more difficult than Rio was. I thought it would be easy pickings due to way fewer foreigners going there than Rio and even SP, but I struggled there. Mostly because the city is dead during the week and people there have no work-life balance, making it so they could only go out on weekends (hence limiting my potential date opportunities). There are also no social events similar to Mundo Lingo in Rio to take advantage of either.
So as a result, in Rio, I averaged only 6 girls per month at a 7.9/10 and in Salvador, I did 9 in my one month there, but at an average of 7.5/10, mostly because I was going through a dry streak when I first got there and lowered my standards a bit as a result. The city itself also simply doesn't have as many attractive women in general so I had to if I wanted to get some action. I even tried some daygame in both cities, but Brazilian women didn't seem to be too receptive to it, probably because of how many hustlers there are on the streets in Brazil always approaching people.
I also visited some other cities in Brazil, but similar to Salvador, the quality wasn't always that high in them. My theory is that the most attractive/successful women leave most of these medium-sized cities as soon as they can after graduating university and go to either Sao Paulo or Rio for their careers. So yeah, overall, Brazil can be a great country for dating, provided you're in the right place (which is Sao Paulo in my opinion).
Mexico
~
Mexico is one of my favourite countries to both visit and game in. In total, I've spent 7 months in Mexico so I've gotten a pretty good feel for the country by now. It's full of awesome places to visit and the locals are really nice (at least, in the non-touristy areas). While I've traveled around a lot and gamed in multiple cities within Mexico, the two main cities I will talk about are Mexico City and Playa Del Carmen.
Mexico City is an awesome city to date in. Similar to Sao Paulo, it's kinda just a concrete jungle so there's not all that much to do nature-wise, but that plays to your benefit when dating as it makes girls a lot more interested in meeting you. Also, while the foreign population has been growing as of late, it doesn't seem to have an effect on your dating prospects re: competition. For instance, my best month of game ever was 16 different women, 13 of which I met in Mexico City.
The women there are gringo-crazy and another way I know this is by the fact that I was matching influencers on the apps. I also matched some in Sao Paulo, but Mexico City was next level as I even matched and chatted with one girl who had 1.5m followers. To be able to match women like that, you really need to be high-value and in Mexico City, I definitely am. The women are also quite easy, with many of them willing to come straight over to my place for the first date.
Playa Del Carmen, on the other hand, is quite a different experience. Since it's a completely touristic city, the gringo advantage simply isn't as strong there. You're competing with tons of other foreigners so you're nothing special compared to Mexico City. Like Rio, I only managed to get an average of 6 girls per month there at 7.9/10 using mainly dating apps and social events.
That being said though, the city is heaven for daygame & night game. I personally didn't do much myself while I was there, but I know plenty of guys who do and they all say the same thing - PDC is daygame heaven. The reason being because it's always full of tourists passing through looking to have a good time. This means the girls you approach are a lot more receptive than in other places. At the time, I relied a lot more on dating apps so I didn't approach as much as I would have liked, but next time I'm in town, it's definitely something I'm going to start doing.
However, Mexico City is still a lot more near and dear to my heart as similar to Sao Paulo, I averaged 10.5 girls per month at 8/10 there. Unfortunately though, one thing that isn't ideal about either city is the cost of living. Gentrification due to foreigners like me has risen those costs up a decent amount so rent in both places can be more than you expect. Overall though, Mexico is a great country for dating, especially since it's so easy and cheap to get to from the rest of North America.
Paraguay & Uruguay
~
Okay, now we're going off the beaten path a bit with these next two, but hear me out. First off, Paraguay is absolute dating heaven. I'm currently here now and while I haven't spent nearly as much time here as I have in the other countries mentioned above, I can tell you that if you want game on the absolute easiest mode possible, go to Paraguay.
You've probably never even thought of visiting Paraguay and I don't blame you for it, the country doesn't really have any interesting tourist attractions, but that's exactly what makes it so amazing for dating. The women here are bored out of their minds with nothing to do and there is literally no competition from other foreigners. In other words, if you show up as a foreigner with a good profile, it's like shooting fish in a barrel.
I have never gotten so many likes on the apps as I do in Asuncion. Here, I have an endless selection of women to choose from to meet and not only that, they are all so thirsty that I don't even need to take the majority of them out. 90% of them have no issue with coming over to my place for the first date to cook, watch a movie, share some wine, or whatever the excuse is. I am consistently meeting with different women at least twice a day, multiple times a week. In fact, it's been 3 days since I got here and have already met with 6 women, 4 of which I fucked.
And even if I do need to take them out on a date, the country is so cheap that my wallet barely feels it. In addition, the quality is very high. The women in Asuncion are super attractive and take very good care of themselves whereas the local men simply don't give a shit which also contributes to how thirsty the women are for foreign guys. And similar to Mexico City and Sao Paulo, I was even matching with local influencers too so yeah, put Paraguay on your list if you want to fuck.
As for Uruguay, I only spent a weekend there so my perspective is fairly limited, but from my experience, you do have a gringo advantage, but the quality of women there isn't as high as other places. Also, the country is one of the most expensive in Latin America so it's simply not worth it. It's kinda like a more expensive version of Paraguay with lower quality women since there's also very little to see or do there from a tourist perspective either. In other words, you're better off sticking to Paraguay.
Final Thoughts
~
Before all the haters come at me trying to invalidate me by calling me a passport bro or saying LATAM doesn't count or whatever else, I'm not posting this because I'm trying to brag or school people or something. I'm merely sharing my dating experience in these different countries for anyone who might be interested in hearing about it and learning from it. Kinda like an extended field report.
Also, I had great success in Canada & the US as well before I started nomading in LATAM anyway. In fact, over 100 of all my lays come from those two countries alone and I have no issue dating in them (contrary to passport bros who complain about western dating). I'm just of the mindset that if you can make your life cheaper and easier, why wouldn't you? At the end of the day, I'm just lucky enough to have a fully remote job that allows me to do it.
TL;DR - LATAM is easy mode, but some places are easier than others. The easiest (that I've experienced) are Asuncion, Mexico City, and Sao Paulo, all of which are concrete jungle-type cities with not much competition and not much else going on, which contributes to how easy it is to pick up women in them. On the other hand, cities like Rio and Playa Del Carmen can be tougher to game in as women have a lot more to choose from, both with regards to attractive men as well as things to do in general.
Anyone else there who can corroborate this experience? Or can provide insight into other parts of LATAM? Would be curious to hear about it.
