Easymode in Germany: Be an outgoing foreigner.

Okay, so I'm from California and have been in Germany for about a year this time (I've been here before). My impressions:

The bragging thing is spot on. I learned very quickly not to say what my career is.
Women are very skeptical about "slimy" guys. It is way better to be sincere and direct.
Touching IS more difficult, but not impossible. Many women respond favorably. Again, it's easier being the foreigner in this regard because I can always just laugh if she says something.
I find the day game particularly hard here tbh. I feel there is a stricter separation between "going out" and being in "work mode".

I am not in one of the big cities, but in a university city of about 150,000 in Southern Germany. The club/ bar scene is lively and I come home with tons of stories and my fair share of action. I've become more social here, more engaging, I dance more, and I don't try to speak German (even though I speak quite well). Instead, when I go out it's "me time" and so I stay in my comfort zone. I like to tease, make fun of Germany, and it seems to be working okay for me.

Are there any videos like this on scandinavian countries?

You're promoting your stuff too heavy if you ask me...

Great stuff. A big problem with a lot of pick-up material is that it's all about the USA, and you just know that stuff like that wouldn't work in Europe. I'm from Scandinavia and bragging does not go well over there at all. I'm also glad to see that other countries aren't that big on touching either, I find that really strange if I have to do that, even with friends.

Can also attest to the fact that breaking the ice is difficult, but once you make it, you're good. Whereas a lot of the Americans I've met are easy to chat with, but you can tell that that interaction just isn't going anywhere beyond small talk.

Can't make it to Berlin tomorrow but I do travel a lot so I'd love to know if you got anything else planned up for Europe.

Oh man offtopic, but the part about bragging reminded me of one of my favourite sketches ever.

Is there a version for the UK?

Relevant german song about a french girl trying to pick up germans. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNPut-juVd4

Especially careful the touching (or not-touching) part I think is very important to keep in mind for you north american guys- got really surprised when a guy that I had just met 2 days ago hugged me. That's not something we just do. Another thing that only kind of comes up in the video: The first thing we usually ask someone when we meet them is what they do for a living- now you don't have to brag but also don't be offended if we ask right away, I've had people react surprised when I asked them. Now I know not to be as invasive when talking to people from North America.

FYI guys, I will be in Berlin tomorrow, giving a talk for only 10 euro (to cover the meeting space).

Bragging is unacceptable wherever you go.
